All the time.īut hey, enough about trolls, fuck Alternia! Let’s talk about Skaia. And in case you’re wondering, no, there are no adults on Alternia, they’re all off conquering. But hey, we only know about twelve trolls out of billions, so who even knows about demographic psychic breakdown? Anyway, in this fashion a young troll will grow up, hopefully not die, and eventually go off to be useful to troll society by conquering other ones on other planets, and the cycle begins all over again. However, those on the lower end of the “hemospectrum” are weaker and have more psychic vulnerability, which may also explain why more of the lowbloods (Sollux, Aradia, Tavros) also seem to get cool psychic shit at a higher rate than the highbloods (pretty much just Vriska). But hey, the survivors will be pretty kickass! There’s also a caste system based mostly around blood color and involving whether you live on land or in sea, but much like troll romance, it’s rather complicated to get into. Alternia is a harsh planet, trolls are a violent species, troll children are excessively fond of “extreme roleplaying” that often results in death, and cullings are common and half the time even completely arbitrary. Most of these new friends will probably die too! Hell, the troll child in question probably will, for that matter. During this stage of its life the troll develops the relationships and survival skills it will need in adulthood. Once it’s been adopted, the troll child chooses whichever location and design it wants for its new home or “hive,” which will then be built accordingly. The baby troll then enters its childhood and adolescence. At that point the lusus will slaughter all the baby trolls and adopt whichever one survives, whose little baby friends it just murdered. Little baby trolls are pretty much defenseless, so they have to survive long enough for a lusus - a wild Alternian animal moonlighting as a guardian for juvenile trolls and also sort of a pet - to come across them. See, the first stage of a troll’s life is known as the “trials,” and for good reason. Eventually they hatch! And from that moment on, their absolute hell begins. The larvae then crawl up to whatever stalactite they like and make themselves comfy cocoons to sleep in while they metamorphose. ![]() If they don’t, they are immediately culled for failing to fulfill their civic duty.Īfter that, the filial pails are given to a mother grub back on Alternia, who whips the genetic material up into an incestuous slurry and then produces a bunch of eggs that hatch into troll larvae. So, when two trolls intensely love or hate each other, they put their genetic material into the corresponding filial pail when the imperial drone comes around to collect. ![]() For simplicity’s sake we’ll just dwell on the sex. Or hate each other very much! Troll romance, you see, is very complicated and split into four quadrants, two of which are sexual and two of which are platonic and meant to keep everyone from killing each other. And weird.Ī troll’s life begins when two trolls love each other very much. But hey, let’s not worry about that! Instead let’s talk about trolls, they’re fascinating. ![]() No, seriously, good luck with that, even the native trolls tend to die in droves here despite being generally tougher than the average human. Welcome to Alternia! Please enjoy your stay, and try not to die. As Homestuck’s timeline is what is commonly referred to as snook-a-loopy, though, this really only gives a vague idea of where we are and indeed where we will be at some random point in the future when more canon is provided. Sollux doesn’t really play a huge role until Act 5, which begins here.Īlso, his page on the MSPA wiki is helpful.Ĭanon Point: act 5, act 2 beginning, see Rainbow Rumpus Partytown shenanigans for a more specific place.
