CEB: dave, what do you think i should do?
CTG: i dunno
CTG: do you like her
CEB: well, like i said, i thought she was pretty cool...
CEB: kinda bossy! but also pretty friendly.
CTG: yeah ok
CTG: but i mean
CTG: anything more than that
CTG: like
CTG: if earth wasnt destroyed and she werent in some other universe on a planet full of unspeakable frothing dipshits
CTG: and she was on earth visiting your town or something
CTG: would you want to ask her to go see one of your dumbass movies
CTG: like the new maconnohey jam where he smirks and like all but deliberately draws the audiences ire like a goddamn magnetron
CEB: mcconaughey!!!!!!!!
CEB: um, wow, i don't know.
CEB: i mean, yeah, sure it would be fun to do something like that with her, i think.
CEB: but...
CEB: beyond that, it's a little confusing!
CEB: i don't think i have ever actually liked a girl before in that way, so i am not really sure what i am supposed to feel or do...
?CG: HOLY FUCK WHAT AM I EVEN READING HERE?????

I still want more out of god tier Aradia. We got a great idea of Aradiabot's personality (awesome fatalism), but it seems like god tier is still a bit of a mystery. She's definitely more cheerful about the inevitability of the future, but I don't know if it's because she has genuine hope or is just resigned to it at this point.
So let's see how far we can get into Hivebent. And tonight we're also back in the actual "drunk" part of "Drunkstuck", as I'm enjoying a couple glasses of Woodford Reserve bourbon.
Though it was six solar sweeps ago he was given life, it is only today he will be given a name!
All together now: SIX SOLAR SWEEPS!
Your name is KARKAT VANTAS.
It's sort of hard to remember that, at one point, the trolls didn't really have names. I used them all throughout my Act 3 and Act 4 recaps but I almost didn't because of that. Anyway, for each troll I'll kit the wiki for the meaning behind the name. So:
Vantas is a prostate cancer treatment drug, and Karkat is "Karkata," the Hindu astrological equivalent of Cancer, minus one letter. Additionally, his name may be drawn from "Karkinos," a giant crab who fought Hercules of myth, also the origin of the Cancer astrological sign. His online handle is particularly nefarious sounding, implying genetic engineering and carcinogenic factors.
The thing that most people don't realize is that John Cusack is a universal constant.
This was pointed out to me earlier. If nothing else, I guess I won't forget this again?
As a programmer (as in, it's my day job) I remember spending a lot of time trying to figure out ~ATH.
It's almost as if your people have placed great cultural importance on teaching children to become architecturally adept while very young. It has been this way since ancient times. No one seems to know why that is.
Well, we do! Well, now.
Does that purple moon have another, smaller thing orbiting it? Huh.
You have a feeling it's going to be a long night.
Understatements, part 2.
TC: but uh, i don't have to...
TC: uhhh see?
TC: but i mean man this feels so motherfuckin unnatural and shit.
This scared me until I remembered, "oh, right, we're not there yet".
Your name is GAMZEE MAKARA.
Gamzee was named after forumite Gammy, as well as "Gamze", which is a Turkish word meaning "dimple" or "coquettish look". Makara is the Sanskrit counterpart to the Capricorn sign. Makara is also a Hebrew name for 'Blessing'.
Okay, I just have to quote one more thing from his introduction page:
You get pretty excited by CLOWNS OF A GRIM PERSUASION WHICH MAY NOT BE IN FULL POSSESSION OF THEIR MENTAL FACULTIES.
You should not stay out here very long. The SEA DWELLERS are quite hostile.
I just now realized this refers to the Eridans of the world.
I was going to ask why Karkat has himself in his Chumproll, but then I remembered I do the same thing. Whoops.
Your name is TEREZI PYROPE.
Terezi is the Azerbaijani word for Libra (or Balance) , while her last name, Pyrope, is the name of a red mineral, specifically a type of pyralspite garnet. This is most likely a reference to her red spectacles as well as her burnt red eyes, especially given that "Pyrope" also means "Fire Eyes". It is also possible that the name Terezi was based on the blind prophet Tiresias of Homer's Odyssey and Sophocles' Oedipus Rex. Additionally, the second part of her Trollian name, Calibrator, has the word libra contained within it.
This is key. It's not entirely leetspeak, otherwise it'd look like this: 5p34k w17h t3h num3r415 t3h b11nd pr0ph375 0nc3 u53d. And that's just a mild version with nothing like k -> |<
Nonetheless, Terezi's voice to me is the kind of script-kiddie 13-year-old that would use leetspeek unironically.
I feel like this is a good time to mention one of my favorite songs from the Alterniabound album is "BL1ND JUST1C3: 1NV3ST1G4T10N !!".
And now, one of my favorite callbacks:
CG: YOU CAN SEE ME RIGHT.
CG: TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE. GC: NO 1 C4NT S33 YOU DUMB4SS
EB: you can see me, right.
EB: tell me what is wrong with this picture. TT: Sorry. I keep losing the wireless signal.
GC: WH4T COLORS YOUR BLOOD? CG: WHOA NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!
CG: SERIOUSLY WAS THAT A SERIOUS QUESTION?
CG: UNBELIEVABLE.
GC: 1 W1LL F1ND OUT SOM3 D4Y
Knowing what we know now, there may as well be a :winky: after that.
Adult trolls supply their genetic material to the FILIAL PAILS carried by imperial drones and offered to the monstrous MOTHER GRUB deep underground in the brooding caverns.
I bet if there's anything S_O regrets about Homestuck, it's that buckets are involved in troll reproduction. Would probably rethink that one, given the chance.
"Sollux" rather transparently divides into "sol-lux" - Latin roots for "sun" and "light", respectively. In addition, if you switch the S and P in his name it becomes "Pollux Castor". Pollux and Castor are the two brightest stars in the constellation of Gemini. It is also worth noting that Pollux is a red giant, while Castor is bluish white, complementing the red/blue duality theme. "Castor" and "Pollux" were famous mythological twins, which is where Gemini - Latin for "twins" - gets its name. "Pollux" and "Castor" were also the names of two characters in the movie Face/Off, a Nicolas Cage flick that came out the same year as Con Air and one that John Egbert has a poster of in his room.
Your visions foretell of the planet's looming annihilation, and yet unlike the typical sightless prophet of doom, you are gifted with VISION TWOFOLD.
For now.
So many things are just so obvious in retrospect.
We got a lot of mileage out of the "Dave staring at his own blood on his hands" thing.
GC: OBV1OUSLY YOU W3R3 GO1NG TO S3T UP R3D 4ND BLU3 T34MS COM3 ON TA: you dont know what iim goiing two do, 2top beiing a2 though you can read my miind.

AA: and will s0w the seeds 0f 0ur failure
AA: a failure which will ir0nically pr0ve t0 be missi0n critical
She's right, of course, but alive Aradia really is so much better.
Karkat and his friends and everyone they would ever meet thereafter would experience great misfortune on account of the curse unwittingly implemented through Sollux's esoteric MOBIUS DOUBLE REACHAROUND VIRUS.
Welp, that explains everything! Okay, we're done here.
A few things:
1) Apparently UNIX is a universal constant.
2) Apparently, so is vi. Well, at least vii.
3)
You delete the file, but it won't do much good. The program is already running elsewhere.
HE IS ALREADY HERE.
Your name is TAVROS NITRAM.
"Tavros" is Greek for "bull." The Latin word "Taurus" is derived from the Greek, and most modern Romance languages have a similar word for this reason. His name also resembles that of the Doctor Who villain Davros, the wheelchair-bound creator of the Daleks - this allusion may not be intentional, but it fits with his disability as well as his later acquisition of robotic parts. "Nitram" may be "Martin" written backwards. There are two possible connections for this. Operation Taurus was the name of a planned prosecution by the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) against Martin McGuinness, and Mary Martin played Peter Pan in the 1954 musical.
You like to practice your jousting outside. One day you hope to prove yourself worthy of recruitment into the halls of the dreaded imperial CAVALREAPERS. Assuming you are not slated for culling first on account of your disability. Or really any other arbitrary reason.
Such as "trying to finally fight back against your nemesis but it's waaaaaaaay to late".
That's your wallpaper Tavros? I mean, really dude? Anyway, this is the first chatlog appearance of everyone's favorite/least favorite character.
Meanwhile, more ice has frozen! Woo, drunkstuck can continue! I will probably do a couple more introductions and stop for the night though.
Her name appears to come from Aradia, a goddess and witch from Pagan folklore and Megido, the place that a number of religions believe the final battle will take place (the word Armageddon is derived from the Hebrew name for Mt. Megido). The word Megido also contains the Japanese word "Meido", or "maid", fitting her title as Maid of Time and her ancestor's role as an "Asian schoolgirl".
Thank goodness we know how the Crosbytop got there now, eh?
GA: Hi Again Aradia AA: 0h n0000000
GA: So I Guess Tonight Is The Night You Blow Everything Up AA: 0_0
GA: Is There Nothing I Can Do To Change Your Mind
Wow, really? This almost seems like the archive readers are being toyed with here: "how long do we have to wait to find out about this 8luh 8luh huge 8itch?!?!?!?!"
You try to be the mysterious spider girl and fail.
She's way too mysterious for you to be her yet! Seriously, what's up with those glasses? What's up with that robo-arm? What's her deal!
She guesses it's flattering that you want to be her though. She guesses she doesn't mind. It's cool.
We'll learn all about her a little later.
Okay, look, I am no huge Vriska lover or hater. But either way you roll you have to admit: Act 5 is basically her act. It's a pretty risky move, if you ask me, introducing such a major player this late into the story - after all, we actually already met several trolls in Acts 3 and 4. Which is one of the major reasons I don't think there'll be any sort of magical Vriska resurrection here in week and a few days. She can continue to play a role as her deadself, of course, but her time as a major player is played out. I think.
TA: iit wa2 liike the handle wa2 a bald guy goiing really fa2t, and ii wa2 hii2 twoupee.
Dude, what's your deal with handles? Seriously.
YOU DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE EAT THE MIND HONEY
I am not going to lie: sometimes I wish my brother read Homestuck just so I could be like "HA YOUR TROLL IS A LOLCAT". But alas, I will not @ him here and now despite the fact he reads the forums because he'll probably just give me shit for spending my Friday nights drunkenly recapping Homestuck. Anyway.
Your name is NEPETA LEIJON.
Her first name is derived from the scientific genus of Catnip, and Leijon is taken from the surname of Anna-Greta Leijon, who was a Swedish Minister of Immigration in 1976 and victim of a kidnapping plot dubbed Operation Leo. The Swedish word lejon ("leijon" is the archaic spelling) means "lion", and is pronounced LAY-on. Also, the Finnish word for lion is leijona (which is most likely a Swedish loan word).
POUNCE DE LEON is the best kitty cat.
This is a totally awesome name for a cat. Unfortunately, I am allergic to them
CG: HOW CAN YOU BE BEST FRIENDS WITH THE ONLY GUY ON THE PLANET WHO'S A BIGGER ASSHOLE THAN ME. AC: :33 < hes not so bad!
Ahahahahahahahaha.
CT: D --> As it happens I have arranged to play just such a game tonight
CT: D --> Aradia and I have a private engagement to be co-leaders of the b100 team
A "private engagement", eh?
AT: aNYWAY,
AT: tHAT'S REALLY ALL THERE IS,
AT: tO REPORT ON THE SUBJECT,
AT: oF ME GETTING HURT, CG: HEY ASSHOLE, STOP PLAYING GAMES FOR GIRLS.
I gotta agree with Karkat here. In all honesty, I think I feel less sorry for Tavros now than I did back then.
AG: Can I join your team? CG: YES I'M GLAD YOU ASKED, BECAUSE THERE IS A WIDE OPEN SLOT FOR THE MOST VILE BACKSTABBING SOCIOPATH WHO EVER LIVED.
CG: YOU REALLY HELPED ME OUT OF A JAM BY STEPPING FORWARD.
AG: Vile 8acksta88ing sociopath? Karkat, did you copy and p8ste that phrase directly from your personal ad descri8ing what you are looking for in a lady?
Well...
AG: I don't see how we're supposed to 8e 8ecoming friends if you recoil from my olive 8ranch like I'm twitching a mummified 8ovine phallus in your direction.
CG: I'VE GOT THE BETTER SCOURGE SISTER ON MY TEAM AND IF YOU BREAK YOUR TRUCE YOU'LL HAVE TO ANSWER TO HER.
As I read this, I realized, "oh yeah, when do we get to find out about all that?" Turns out, the answer is "in the extremely near future":
CG: THE FUNNY THING IS SHE WAS ALWAYS WAY BETTER THAN YOU EVEN WITHOUT ANY POWERS.
CG: YEAH THAT'S RIGHT, I KNOW YOUR WHOLE STORY.
CG: YOU WERE ALWAYS JEALOUS SHE COULD MANIPULATE PEOPLE SO WELL WITHOUT RESORTING TO CHEAP MIND TRICKS.
Despite what happens later in this pesterlog, he's basically right. And it's why Terezi wins in the end.
OH FUCK SOMEONE ANYONE ELSE PLEASE
And though she would ask why, and you would always delay the answer, the fact remained.
AC: :33 < why are you the floating frog all of a sudden? AA: im dead
AA: my spirit merged with the fr0gsprite
AC: :33 < wow
AC: :33 < dead
AC: :33 < really? AA: like a gh0st
This wasn't really, like, a certainty back then. We didn't really know the significance of the white eyes for sure until this.
Bluh bluh.
Your name is VRISKA SERKET.
Her surname is taken from 'Serket', the Egyptian goddess personifying the scorpion. Serket was conflictingly associated with stings or bites and with the cures to such maladies, mirroring the duality of Vriska Serket's personality - she alternates between seriously injuring other trolls and helping them, or at least attempting to do so. Vriska is a shortening of "Vrishchika", the Hindi name for Scorpio, but could also refer to Kalpavriksha, a wish-fulfilling tree below the fourth chakra according to Zentra Yoga. This tree is said to fulfill both positive and negative wishes, again corresponding with the duality of Vriska Serket's personality. Even further, in Norse mythology, the sign Scorpio represents Hel, or Hela, the goddess of death and rebirth, also known as the misunderstood goddess. She governed over the Norse equivalent of hell, where souls that do not reach Valhalla go. However, she both judged the evil among them to the icy pits, while provided safe haven for the just until they were reincarnated, also expressing the duality of her helping and hurting. Hel is also usually represented as a woman with the right half of her body alive, and the left half of her body dead, similar to how Vriska was when her left eye and left arm were replaced by unliving metal.
So many irons in the fire. Such a tangled web. It is a web full of flaming irons and mixed metaphors.
All the metaphors are mixed. All of them!
You equip your enchanted dice set, the fabled FLUORITE OCTET.
It consists of eight D8, plundered from a ghost ship during a particularly challenging campaign. In ancient times such weapons were employed by roving bands of GAMBLIGNANTS, deadly marauders with a passion for chance. They all died off though. Took too many crazy risks.
This isn't exactly unprecedented. There've been religious sects throughout history who took their vows of celibacy a little too seriously, eventually resulting in there being no one left to propagate the sect.
Gotta catch a br8k!!!!!!!!
When you get worked up about stuff you put 8's in places that don't really make a lot of sense phonetically.
:whistle:
Hello.
I still need to do that Doc Scratch OP some day.
AG: I thought you said you would 8e 8rief???????? I'll say one last thing.
Though the magnitude of the ensuing destruction resulting directly from your actions will be neither possible or necessary for you to fathom, there nevertheless ought to be a silver lining.
The only question is whether you will live long enough to see it.
I'm not a gambling man.
But if I was, I wouldn't bet on it.
Goodbye.
Well, I quoted this passage a lot in the days leading up to Vriska's eventual demise. And, well, apparently ol' Doc Scratch would've won this bet.
Anyway, let's meet Kanaya and finish this off.
AG: Is this a trick? Are you trying to sa8otage me? Are you in cahoots with someone???????? GA: Uh No
AG: Cahoooooooots!!!!!!!!
AG: Cahoots I say.
Cahoooooooots!!
Oh god dammit.
Your name is EQUIUS ZAHHAK.
You love being STRONG.
I didn't even to include that last one, but it muscled its way in! That's how STRONG it was! Fuck.
The name Equius takes its root from the Latin Equus, or "horse". It may also be in reference to the play "Equus", in which a boy discovers his sexual affinity towards horses. This would explain Equius' almost unhealthy obsession for anything relating to "hoofbeasts". Zahhak is a figure in Iranian mythology, who was strong and clever, but was easily manipulated by his evil counselors into world domination. Zahhak was also known as Bēvar-Asp, which translates into "[he who has] 10,000 horses" (100²). The use of "centaur" in the chumhandle is a reference to Greek mythology, in which a Sagittarius was identified as a centaur. Equius' typing quirk includes adding a bow and arrow (D -->) before speaking.
Dammit, it's like another 100 pages before we meet Kanaya. Okay, I'm going to stop here then. Up next, tomorrow night (well, or Sunday night, we'll see): more Hivebent!

And now, one of my favorite callbacks:

TT: Sorry. I keep losing the wireless signal.
Knowing what we know now, there may as well be a :winky: after that.

to be honest i have no idea why i thought that would be funny
@tynic
STRAYYA
it's really hard to believe
wasn't that pretty soon after the character was introduced
and aradia is DOA anyway
who
cares
This hiatus hasn't been so bad really.
it's a sad moment
Aradia is established as a completely unfeeling character
and then the first time you see her express any joy at all it's for a split second before vriska murders her
I just think the humor of it overturns the sadness of it
