ok. which of your fantrolls is the most evil

i think the answer is obvious

[dingodad]

which of your fantrolls are derse and which are prospit. and do you believe there's a meaningful divide?

these guys inherited their dream moons pretty straightforwardly from the characters they were inspired by.

dream moon feels kind of like the most astrology esque of all of homestuck's astrology type systems LOL in that basically all of the characters inherited them based on totally arbitrary circumstance (same moon as the rest of my family members, same moon as the rest of the players who wanted to join team vriska / team equius, etc.) and the comic never once seems to try to explain it in any deeper terms than that. so any analysis of what they might mean is just trying to find patterns in disparate personalities. (i guess dream moon being significant is a real thing now that it's included in the official aspect test but i'm not even going to bother looking those up because i don't really care that much. lol)

there are some interpretations i've found interesting.. like prospit dreamers playing active roles and being protagonists while derse dreamers are behind the scenes actors and backgrounders is so obviously true but it also seems so redundantly similar to active + passive classes. and the one about prospit dreamers being upfront with their personalities and derse dreamers hiding behind a mask is fun for explaining oddities like dersite nepeta but falls apart for other characters.

so i've never once thought about what moon "fits" a character before deciding where they go, i 100% always just sort them towards the beginning of the design process and then soooometimes when i develop a character further i will take their lunar sway into account and think about how it might contribute to their personality or arc. but it's usually a more personalised thing, like, what does being on prospit or on derse mean to that character in particular.. so i wouldn't say i think of there being a "divide" between the two. their significances can vary. while being a derse dreamer obviously doesn't MAKE you a villain for instance it's easy to justify why a villain might belong on derse and a dersite villain might be very different to a prospitian villain. <- thinking about it harder right now than i probably ever have before in my life

you're like the sisyphus of eridan discourse, no matter how much you push that rock up it'll always gonna roll back down.

anyway how does hemera and bronzeblood guy's relationship work? how did they meet?

being nyx' pilot means hemera basically meets people in person when they're on the ship and that's it. so she knows iaoweh mostly through nix, who has a complex sort of hag-fag/empress-eunuch type frenemy relationship with him and invites him on board to play strategy games every so often. except iaoweh is only gay in redrom so he can totally spades around with nyx' moirail in the background while still playing the eunuch. troll relationships sure are complicated!

i think hemmy and iao's relationship is largely physical, and based off a truly heated dislike for each other. being linked up to the psychic internet almost all of the time, hemera isn't exactly starved for intellectual stimulation, so it's mainly that physical release that she's after - only fanned by long stretches spent with solely nix for company. meanwhile iaoweh doesn't have a lot of respect for hemera's intelligence, or like, the intelligence of most women, broadly speaking - but hemera gets it the hardest with her ditzy blonde routine - so there's not exactly a lot of stimulating conversation going on between them. but that suits both of them just fine. maybe they talk shit about nix a little bit when they get the time, but like in her other relationships hemera is mostly happy to play the character that gets her what she wants out of the kismesissitude.

don't think i will ever want to finish this so it's getting posted in this form. but this was also such a pain in the ass for me because i got so anal about combing through past images trying to figure out what kind of couch ninnyx had at her house

[dingodad]

is there a reason iaoweh doesnt have pupils in his eyes?

he has some kind of mutation. i don't know what exactly. he won't tell me
