3:22 the trolls don’t actually eat their own grubs. Grub-anything is just what they call their food. Grub is even a word for food in our own language too, it’s possibly more like a prefix for them. It’s also been theorized that their food grubs are actually other insects, and that Alternian diet consists mainly of insects
Are you sure they don't eat their own grubs? Trolls use grubs for dyes after all, so why not food too? And it is Canonical that Alternia has an ridiculously high infant mortality rate. Well, it has a high death rate in general, but you get my point, hopefully.
@@rarestpepe3815 just cuz they die a lot and are used for dyes doesn’t mean that they’d eat them. There’s plenty of dyes we humans use that come from plants or minerals that we can’t even eat
I think grubs are also called wigglers when talked about as a baby troll. But grubs also are talked about as insects. Trolls don't have an exact word for grubs, or parts of grubs, or really anything like that. It's more of an umbrella term. Grubsauce is a pretty popular one, but I think it's been told that it's insects, not wigglers.
I love these trolls!! Bronze are my favourite caste with Vikare being my absolute favourite. Icarus which is Etruscan Vikare might have a happier interpretation . The name derives from the Ancient Greek name “Ī́karos (Ῑ̓́κᾰρος)”, composed of two elements: “hḗkō (ἥκω)” (to have come, to be present, to have reached a point) plus “āḗr (ᾱ̓ήρ)” (mist, air, wind, space, volume). In turn the name means “the one who reaches the sky”. Plus a reason that Vikare maybe is a bronze troll is that Icarus’s dad Daedalus is the man that built the labyrinth for the Minotaur (the massive bull monster).
Yay my fave FS trolls! Skylla: as a vegan myself, yeah I’m with you on the ‘vegetarian, somehow’ line. Unless the writer wasn’t paying attention to the Troll Call card when writing the script… I’ve seen some fan works and headcanons stating that lowerblooded trolls could possibly eat more plant based and as you go up the haemospectrum, up to purple, there’s a lot more meat and fish being eaten. Seadwellers possibly eat more fish than meat and veggies but hey. Not canonical or anything. Vikare: Icarus, yes!! It’s so funny to me that Vikare is all ‘nooo it’s impossible to fly’ when he lives in a world where spaceships are commonplace. So he can fathom interstellar flight, but not terrestrial… It’d be cute if there were future plans for him to actually do some Wright brothers style experiments to learn to fly. With regards to the bones, birds that can fly have to have hollow bones and beaks rather than teeth. So it’s funny that Vikare uses bones when any kind of mammalian or troll bones would likely be too heavy and need a lot of hollowing out or trimming down. 😅 Chixie: I love Chixie and especially the whole thing (canon and fanon) where she has an awkward friendship with Marvus. (Speaking of, considering she doesn’t necessarily board the train (except for the SRO achievement outcome), maybe that was part of Marvus’ master plan since she was ‘plot relevant’. And nobody plot relevant would die in Act 2, according to the grandmaster. 😮
Skylla is literally my mom, we have chickens, turkeys, roosters, and even goats, and they’re in my backyard, it’s a big backyard, oh and also the pets that we used to have
3:24 not necessarily! MSPAR describes the grubcake as basically just a pancake, so I get the feeling that the word “grub” on alternia has a handful of different meanings. It could mean just any type of wormlike insect larvae which likely is a major part of troll diets, there’s the massive mother grub that lays eggs which hatch into wrigglers, and there’s the likely definition in this case simply being: just a word for food. Meaning that grub is likely often just a shorthand for food, maybe specifically because grubs are a likely staple in troll diets, but not necessarily baby trolls. Baby trolls are wrigglers. They are bug people yeah, and they eat bugs, but I don’t necessarily think that dead wrigglers are turned into food for other trolls. Felt the need to say it. Grubcakes are just pancakes, not ground up children.
Thank you so much for making this! You were one of my favorite Homestuck you tubers back in the day, and I’m glad to see you’re still making the rounds on this wonderful round! I got all the hiveswap act 2 achievements and man, it’s rough. Try playing it with a friend and see their reactions to the game, it will be much more entertaining then!
I looked into it and here's what i found about the name "Koriga" Koriga could also come from Korrigans from Breton folklore, beautiful siren-like fairies who lure men into their bed before murdering them (reference to the good ending of her friendsim route). Koriga might also come from The Morrígan, a celtic goddess or trio of such which inspires bravery in warriors and fear in their enemies. In myth, The Morrigan is seen both conducting around and assuming the shape of cattle and has an ambiguous relationship with the hero Cú Chulainn who's name translates to "guard dog".
Koriga - Corrigan? Like the last name of the Smashing Pumpkins singer, maybe? As for the knights fighting snails, the picture you used, makes me think that it was trying to be artsy. That the snail is on a branch in the foreground, and the knight is in the background.
Grubcakes are in fact not made of grubs. The Reader's narration says they're just ordinary pancakes. I'm also surprised you didn't bring up the incredibly popular headcanon that Skylla's name is pronounced "Skaia."
If you tell Vikare airplanes exist, he gets angry, but also states he dreams of a spaceship that's lower to the ground. Despite never hearing of an airplane before, he doesn't want to touch the sky, he wants to glide below it. I wonder if it's linked to the wax wings story you brought up.
it's mwah-rail. they literally said it in hs canon also, i think that the events of friendsim are completely unrelated to hiveswap, since mspa player breaks the continuity of the timeline and such. but now that i think about it, since fozzer remains changed in hiveswap, that friendsim did happen in hiveswap, but i thought of something: wouldn't the entire series, from friendsim to pesterquest to hiveswap all be taking place in one locked timeline? also also, if the portal in hiveswap syncs time on alternia to when the person entering from earth goes in, it would be ~28 earth years away from both events of hs happening.
I am Swedish and you pronounced "skylla" so badly I kind of forgot it was even a word, though that makes sense since the sk-sound (or the ɧ sound) does not exist in english
very loosely related, but i once had a dream where chixie was actually a human stranded on alternia, who was an undertale fan, dressed like chara (from the game), and had a rather large butt... yeah, i'm just as confused as you are.
Does it count as swearing if the word was said as an example? But anywho, I wouldn't say Vikare was insulted in his third Bad Ending. He was more upset when he though The Reader was flirting with him. That's definitely not the same as being insulted.
I love not letting homestuck die when it should have years ago. It’s like a plague that lies low and makes a come back every couple of years

Im tryint my best to keep this fandom alive

@@Anuyushi That's a good point.
No, they do. Amisia confirms that she's eaten lowbloods before.
The 2 l's in skylla could maybe also be pronounced like in Spanish, so her name would be pronounced like skaia
i thought of that too
Skaila? Skaya?

Skylla Koriga: Knight of Time
Vikare Ratite: Mage of Mind
Chixie Roixmr: Maid of Mind
Nobody is letting homestuck and hiveswap die thank you 👌

the snail is from the olden depictions of knights fighting “dragons” that looked like gargantuan snails
Oh to be a rustically fashioned Alternian Troll with a short life expectancy. How I envy the lifestyle.

Man, Trixie is so cute, even now i miss her.
Wow, it's 2022 and there's a new Fridgestuck
Koriga sounds like Corrida, a Spanish bullfighting contest
if I may throw out an idea for a name how about fridgesim
Thanks fior keeping alive the Homestuck flame ^^Your videos are one of the things that help me after all the day working ;)
Chixie goes from Nicole Trollanganger to Trollywood Undead.
Slightly late but I thought Vikare's name could come from vicarious, like living vicariously?
Congrats on making it out of Cali lol
Woah dang this is still going I mean good for you glad that your still doing it
Coriga is very similar to coringa, witch is Portuguese for the Joker card
I'm pretty sure knight of time is what Aysha U. Farah said skyllas classpect would be! Or something along those lines I don't quite remember hehehe
I imagine Vikare to sound like goofy
I was just thinking 🤔 about you today and then we got a video 🙂 Nice!
THESE ARE SO GOOD!!!!! KEEP MAKING THESE IM SO SO SO SO GOING INSANE RIGHT NOW

OH SHIT WE BACK!!!
OMG i love this aaaaa
AHAHA LETS GO! More troll lore!
thxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!
There's a decent chance that Skylla's last name is just a pun based on her Lusus
Korgia=Corgi
Hell yeah its bronze time!
For some reason chixie sounds like pixie to me and if you know the myth around them it could be helped
What is with Californians moving to Texas?!
I am Swedish and you pronounced "skylla" so badly I kind of forgot it was even a word, though that makes sense since the sk-sound (or the ɧ sound) does not exist in english
Fellow Swede here, thank you, I was looking for this comment
Skalla! Taveros! Bronze Trolls!! Finally!!
where is the calendar from?
very loosely related, but i once had a dream where chixie was actually a human stranded on alternia, who was an undertale fan, dressed like chara (from the game), and had a rather large butt...
yeah, i'm just as confused as you are.
What sign is the reader?
Does it count as swearing if the word was said as an example?
But anywho, I wouldn't say Vikare was insulted in his third Bad Ending. He was more upset when he though The Reader was flirting with him. That's definitely not the same as being insulted.
All this time I swear it was Friendism 😅 oops
we are a zombie fandom , we are death but we aren't
Oooffff Texas, I'm sorry
No, grubcakes aren't grubs
Did you mean skylla?? Shylla, with a very european Y sound. sweeds like to pronounce sk or st with a “sh”
Oven baked lol
11:30 i have spoken french my whole life. This is false. It's just not true. in the word "roix", "x" is silent and "oi" is pronounced like "wa"
