having a hard time explaining grimdark and trickster to a friend

think you can help?

they get godtier just fine but the other two keep confusing them because right now they think

grimdark = chaos in anarchy sense, but trickster = chaos in haha funny meme sense

Sure, let me see…

GRIMDARK mode is described by Doc scratch as “going completely off the deep end in every way”.

It turns your skin an unnatural dark gray, and in rose’s case to be surrounded by a dark aura, while jade had a spacey green aura.

It’s basically a black magic power up deeply connected to the horroterrors, a state of mind that comes from letting them influence a broken mind. For Rose, it was the death of her mother, and then trying to reveal the horror terror’s secrets. For Jade, she was heartbroken, but also she got mind controlled into entering the grimdark state by the condesce, who is also connected to the horrorterrors.

As an extra, Hussie described Eridan as also going into grimdark when he began murdering people, tho his case must’ve been more symbolical, as he presented the perfect scenario to become grimdark, the complete loss of hope, waiting for Jack to kill them all (due to his title being prince of hope, ergo Destroyer of hope) added to Feferi breaking their moiraliance talking with Sollux, being the detonator for his broken mind, and him being a Derse player, so his dream self was around the horroterrors and had interacted with them prior, he was also interested in magic like rose, had a wand just like her and sought for answers about, like her. He just lacked the connection to the horroterrors in that crucial moment.

So Grimdark is basically when the horroterrors cause the player's most primal and violent tendencies to be pushed to the forefront

The grimdark is also described a “the fabled blackdeath trance of the woegothics”. So a dark trance that people like Rose and Eridan are inclined to fall victim of (in my opinion)

TRICKSTER mode, in the other hand, is described by Calliope as something that brings out your full potential, that brings all your walls down and puts all your inner thoughts in the outside and all your creative power in your hands. It strips you from all social and mental barrier.

It gives you reality altering Powers, allowing you to jump from place to place, probably dimension hopping, manifest objects and makes you super happy and candy colored to the point of losing grip in reality

The problem is that cherubs are very different from humans. For a cherub, who is supposed to fly around in the endless space protecting/destroying a certain part of the void, and its inhabited planets, feeding of black holes, fighting entities to death to ultimately mate in the shape of a big ass snake, a juju that’s basically drugs that can make you forget every wall you built up floating around space alone, and move forward as a happy missile ready to find a mate sounds good. But humans are social creatures, and cherubs are not. Cherubs don’t answer to anyone and don’t have Friends, they don’t need to follow any social cues. Humans built their relationships carefully, and they have secrets and barriers to protect themselves and others. They hide things like crushes and resentment and problems, because well, for the sake of peace, for the sake of not braking every relationship they have. That’s something that Calliope and Caliborn never fully grasped and understood why the kids came to hate the juju when they woke up

So that’s all I could gather. Essentially they are different kinds of power ups, opposite to one another at their core, BUT in both the person isn’t fully there and is being guided by primal instincts, be it rage/sadness or Hope/happiness and they both have consequences in the user because neither is supposed to be used on humans or even trolls.

okay, so we know that godtiering heals you. tavros gets his legs back, vriska gets her eye and arm back etc etc. furthermore, it could be interpreted as healing perceived disadvantages. terezi wouldnt get her sight back if she were to godtier, because she doesnt see (pun not intended but here we go) her blindness as something that weakens her, quite the opposite - and when aranea heals her sight, she hates it and purposefully wears a blindfold. sburb would recognize her preference and honor it once she ascends.

we could go even further. once ascended, all your perceived weaknesses would be removed, and what weakness means varies wildly from person to person. harlenglishcrocegberts keep their glasses, as well as vriska - we can assume they never felt like their bad sight was any issue for them, so it was left out. for trans folks, and lets put myself under the microscope - if i were to godtier, sburb might throw my way a nice and quick top surgery, but leave the rest alone since i dont have any strong feelings about those.

it could even heal things like brain damage, chronic pain, migrains, cancer, anything that you feel like brings you down will be removed. alpha kids get their hangovers healed up. ascending basically builds your body up from the start, atom to atom, whole dna rewritten if you want it to be.

my question now: would it, or would it not remove karkats or kankris mutation, making them limebloods? everytime we see vantases who are god tier theyre ghosts, and their wings are not shown. it might be because theyre small (which is a popular headcanon) or they dont have any, be it because of their mutation or because its a feature of the bloodcast they originate from, or theyre simply hidden. either way we never see what the actual color of their wings is, which would indicate the color of their blood after ascention.

basically i have no idea. but its a fun thing to think about and ive been doing it for the past few days now

alternians of tumblr! i have an announcement your gonna wanna hear :3

im making a history book of OUR STORIES!!!! Our lives, the way they actually went, not the way Homestuck told them. Of course, somethings about us had to be changed to make the audience more engaged and/or comfortable. We are aliens after all. But i want to give us the chance to tell our real stories. No changes, no beating around the bush. It will (hopefully) be in both English and Alternian, and will likely be a public (public to view, mine to edit) Google doc! Send your story into my ask box if you want in, reblog to spread the news, and tag your friends if you want!

I have such a big soft spot for the early acts of Homestuck, but especially the beta kids and their interactions with each other. I dunno, I just appreciate their friendship and how they genuinely enjoy each other's company. John thanking Jade for being his friend and introducing them to Dave and Rose is very heartwarming and wholesome.

Your name is DAVEPETA… Strider-Leijon? Leijon-Strider? Leider? Strijon? You’ll HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THAT. You are the combination of a SICKNASTY COOLGUY, an ADORABLE CATGIRL, and some kind of BRAINLESS FEATHERY ASSHOLE. You were created as a BULLSHIT GAME ABSTRACTION that gave you ULTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF PARADOX SPACE in a manner that could even be called EXPONENTIAL. But you have trouble remembering all of that stuff now. You dabble in a great many CREATIVE PURRSUITS, because to deny the world your delightfully earnest yet self aware visionary stylings would be a MOTHERFUCKING CRIME. You are an infamous user on several ROLEPLAYING FORUMS. You record videos of yourself doing CUTE THINGS, which people believe are COSPLAY of your FURSONA. You have also recently started a brand new WEBCOMIC. Basically, you post a lot of shit online that is NOT VERY GOOD but that you pretend to believe is GOD'S GIFT TO MANKIND, because it is incredibly fun and also hilarious. Sometimes you miss the THRILL OF THE HUNT, but other times the idea makes you KIND OF UNCOMFORTABLE, so mostly you hunt stuff that’s ALREADY DEAD, which is fun too! You use the sanitized and preserved remains to create totally rad CORPSE ART, which is actually not ironic at all and is honestly KIND OF PERSONAL, so you mostly keep it to yourself. B33 < *you precede your sp33ch with a double mouthed kitty face in loving memory of your purrecious lusus but also she is wearing cool sunglasses because that would be pawsitively fucking radical*

-

You live with your BROSUS, which is sort of like a lusus except he is actually a human guardian. He is basically the COOLEST GUY TO EXIST IN ANY UNIVERSE EVER, and you’re really happy he’s alive again, even though things can be COMPLICATED. You no longer live with THAT FUCKING PUPPET, which seems like it helps? Yeah, he’s still cagey and inscrutable and he leaves his SMUPPETS all over the apartment, which you hate because even though they are soft they are NOT CUTE, just WEIRD AND GROSS. But whatever. It’s BRO. You CAN’T STAY MAD AT BRO.

-

After all, he gave his life for you once.
