Hello All!
Welcome to the Headcanon Board!
This will be the place where you can fangirl/fanboy all over everything and talk about your headcanons. This should be great fun, and you might even adopt a new way of thinking about the Homestuck universe. This is exciting, yes.
Okay, but there will be one rule here and one rule only...okay two rules.
1.) Do not ever ever EVER tell anybody that their headcanon is stupid. That is mean and since we all know each other, it's stupid to pick on your friends...whether they are internet or otherwise. If you do this, I will find you. (Just kidding)
2.) Don't launch canon balls into any ships. You can ship whatever you want. We don't care, but shipping wars are not allowed because we are not pirates. Only pirates do that kind of shit (and I ain't talking about internet pirates either). Hurr hurr!
Okay, all the jokes aside, have fun and revel at my bad hostess skills.
Okay. Moving on.
Post what you want! GO GO GO!

going off Haiku's headcanon, I like to think despite being STRONG Equius has a soft voice. x3
That or I imagine he has the voice of Krunk from Emperor's New Groove.

I've always thought Equius had a soft, breathy voice.
I can't decide if Vriska is all valley girl/stereotypical bitch voice or not.
And I agree with your verdict on Fef, Haiku.

Okay, so I’m going to talk about some of my headcanons because I actually like them and stuff so okay…
KIDS For me, the kids have nationalities. I know in canon they are all colored white but that doesn’t mean that they are white, just “blank” in a sense where they can be any nationality you want. And I kind of noticed that people were tripping about this recently. I just thought I’d say something about it.
John, to me, is this guy who is kind of sarcastic, but doesn’t really mean to be as sarcastic as he is. He is trying to be funny, but it sometimes sounds that like he is being mean when he is not. I also think he’s a really sweet kid who is kind of a doofus but only like half the time. He’s like that friend I had in the fifth grade who was just weird and cool and funny but was kind of awkward in social situations, so he turned to being funny as a way to deflect his insecurities.
John is much shorter than Dave, but only a little shorter than Rose. He is Caucasian. And I totally looked this up and it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is a must that he is of European decent, since technically it can originate from light skinned peoples from northern Africa, and western and southern Asia. (Just in case you people want to fight me on it. But I’m totally kidding so there.)
John’s Nick Cage crush must stay. I think it’s an adorable little thing and everybody has their celebrity crush, and his idea of a date would be to take a girl to the movies. I think he likes movies a lot. It might not necessarily be his thing, like music is Dave’s thing, but I think he likes movies more than the average person. (Since I have yet to meet a person who does not like movies at all.)
When it comes to girls, John loves to show off his little magic tricks. He would be very good at them, but also has a habit of telling how he does his tricks, in which case he would immediately beat himself up about it. If he really likes someone, he’ll do a little magic show and semi-awkward-flirt with them and that is just the cutest thing ever and you can all go home.
Dave is the tallest kid. He is definitely a cool guy. And he doesn’t try too hard to be cool, he just is. This being said, I also think that sometimes he is also a little awkward, like when it comes to his brother and Cal. He doesn’t like to talk about Cal at all because he has a slight fear of puppets. I just think he would rather not have them everywhere in his house, but he pretends not to care when it really makes him uneasy.
Dave’s music choice is more like hip hop, but I’m thinking a little more old school where you can, you know, actually understand what they are saying. I also think that some singing would be in order, not too much, but he can sing better than he raps. He just chooses not to sing. His rapping can be a little forced sometimes in an effort to keep up his cool, which he does with varying levels of success.
As far as girls go, I think Dave is way reserved. Like, he’s not a man whore who wants to bag every girl he comes into contact with. I also don’t think he’s the kind of cool where girls with just swoon at his feet so he doesn’t have to work for them. I think he likes to play games a little bit and enjoys a girl who would play the same game with him. Like the drawing pictures thing he does with Terzei
Dave is Latino. I don’t really know the criteria for using this particular word because I am not familiar with all the Spanish speaking countries. I don’t know if Hispanic decent would be a more proper term to describe this or if it would be better to be specific, like he is Puerto Rican, Spanish, Mexican, Argentinean, Columbian, or what have you. If anyone could tell me that would really cool. But yeah, my god he is Latino. Yes, this is perfect. Latino Dave.
Rose is the tallest girl. She is taller than John and shorter than Dave, but only by a little either way. I think that she is definitely not that psycho crazy goth girl. No, be quiet. I think that her choice in clothing is a little darker as far as color palette is concerned, but she is not a brooding angsty person. Yes, sometimes she is quiet, but when she does talk, she is concise and straight forward except for if she knows the person in which case she is almost “purple prosey” with her word choice. I think that as she was growing up, she read a lot and by the time she was thirteen, she had read so many books that reading did not really interest her unless it was something strange. (Which is where her monsters books and stuff come into play.)
Rose is like a nice person who is kind of abrasive when first meeting people. She has a way of insulting people that really isn’t insulting, but kind of feels like she’s insulting your intelligence. People tend to take her with a grain of salt and avoid her because she is so smart. When she’s with her best friends she’ll cracks jokes, but sometimes they don’t get it and she is okay with this because she’ll explain them.
I think that Rose is an independent girl. She doesn’t need anybody to complete her in a mushy lovey-dovey way. When she meets a guy she likes, I think she reverts to this super sophisticated girl and plays hard to get. She sometimes plays too hard to get and when the boy doesn’t show interest in her, she falls into this kind of sadness where she’ll vent her feelings by writing stories. But she tries not to dwell on it for too long.
She can figure things out rather quickly when in hard situations. Her problem solving skills are top notch, and when time allows, she’ll let others solve the problem first so she doesn’t seem so know-it-all. For people who notice this quality, they have a new respect for Rose as a kind hearted girl who may be a little guarded emotionally.
Rose has a little darker complexion than John. I’m not sure where the darker complexion would come from. I was thinking more Hawaiian decent, but it would be far removed. I don’t know, Rose strikes me as an island girl. Sue me why don’t you.
Jade is an avid daydreamer. I think she has a hard time focusing on the task at hand sometimes because she is so engrossed in the depths of her imagination. I think when she sets her mind to something, she’ll strive towards it, but she’ll sometimes stray off the path. I think she is within the furry fandom, but is not about the sexual aspects of it. Maybe she identifies with the more animalistic traits within her personality, so the only way to express this is for her is through anthropomorphic animals.
Jade’s daydreams are filled with fun, and this is shown in her personality, but she has a habit of inserting semi-disturbing images into her day dreams. End of the world scenarios that involve her friends, but they figure out a way to beat it and save the day. If she had a way with words, she would write stories about them, but she finds writing to be not fun. She prefers to just live in her mind’s eye when it comes to her adventures.
Jade is serious. Definitely. But her seriousness doesn’t seem that obvious because she is a daydreamer. And her friends don’t notice it that often because it isn’t all over her face. She is easily annoyed and she gets headaches often. Jade is mostly no nonsense and takes a lot to heart. I also think that she wears her emotions on her sleeves and is easily offended. As for her level of independence, I think she tends to be a tad clingy at first, but then mellows out over time. She is not, however, an I-can’t-fend-for-myself kind of girl.
Jade’s nationality has yet to be set for me. Sometimes I see her as Asian, more Korean than anything else, and sometimes I see her as this English girl. I haven’t decided on which one quite yet.
TROLL SOCIETY
There are a lot of things in troll society that I’ve thought about and I’ll just talk about it extensively.
The Blood Castes
I think there are more mutant bloods than just Karkat, but they live far away from other trolls and try not to interact with anyone outside their color. If they are found, they tend to beg for their lives and attempt to flee. I think they generally have a low self-worth. Karkat would be an exception because of the limited knowledge I have about his ancestor. Mutant bloods would have horrible social skills and would tend to act very aggressive towards each other without being physically violent.
I think that lime bloods, which have not yet been introduced, are the worker trolls. I think that they come after jade bloods and before teal, so they are in the middle of the hemospectrum. They might be the behind the scenes trolls, you know, the ones who manufacture things, build buildings, own the businesses that sell things and make movies/TV shows/music. You don’t see them very often because they have to live on the opposite side of the rest of society, so they can make all of these things without being seen. Almost like the trolls who make everything run smoothly.
I do not think they have any psychic powers of any kind.
They would be gentle, but I think their blood-wide fetishistic trait would about organizing things so they run like well oiled machines. (I noticed that the more blue-blooded trolls have obsessions with breaking things, like Vriska with the magic eight balls and Equius with his robots. And the more green blooded trolls have semi-obsessions/it’s-a-major-part-of-their-life that have to do with animals like Nepeta with her hunting and Kanaya with caring for her virgin mothergrub.) It’s sort of like a segue between blue bloods and green bloods.
Lime bloods I think would also be the segue into the more artistic side of the hemospectrum, since only the highbloods take interest in that kind of thing, but their art involves more work. Perhaps they don’t speak as much.
And that’s it for lime bloods. It might change as time goes on.
I think that Tyrian purple bloods like Feferi are very possessive and jealous, even if they don’t act they way. The females are definitely more dominant than the males, who tend to be more passive. This is because I also think that only females can rule. So the competition for the seat to the throne is fierce amongst females only. I think that there are more males within this caste, but because they are not allowed to rule as powerfully as the females do, they do not become targets for assassination.
The female Tyrian bloods are mostly catty and they are sly and manipulative, whether this is through innocence or outright bullying is up to the individual. There are cases, like Feferi, where they choose to be more gentle and fair, but they are also killed off faster. Feferi’s massive lusus is the reason she is still alive, yes?
Tyrian bloods have a lot of hair. I mean a lot. Even if size is not an issue, their hair is thick and hard to manage and a comb is not going to do a goddamn thing about it. I also think they prefer to stay in the sea because at least in the water, you can’t see how thick their hair is.
TROLL CELEBRITIES
There are some already in canon, but I thought I’d just add the troll equivalent of things and some troll celebrities. This was fun to think of.
Troll Mariah Carey—Yes, this must be a thing.
Steven Trollberg—a troll director who made blockbusters such as “The Movie Where An Alien Who Looks Even Stranger Than The Ones We’ve Encountered Has Come To Alternia And Can’t Figure Out How To Get Home And Must Before He Is Culled”, “A Movie Where A Bunch Of Wigglers Find Another Alien Species And Manage To Help It Escape And With The Use Of Film Equipment And A Clever Plan”, And “This Movie Is About Building Character As The Actress In It Should Have Gotten A Osskglub For It, But Got It For A Different Movie Instead That Wasn’t That Good”
Steven Seagull—he’s a seadweller actor
Natalie Portman—Get it? Port.
Oscar—Osskglubs Emmy—Glub Emmy Grammy—Glubby Golden Globes—Golden Glubs
Warner Bothers Movie Studio—Warner Glubbers Movie Studio Def Jam Records—Hearing Impaired Records Goldman Sachs Investment Firm—Glubman Sacks Investment Firm Wa-cove-ia –this one speaks for itself Wells Faygo—this one speaks for itself too PNC—PN SEA Bank of America—Bank of Alternia
I could go on, but I’ll stop now. Okay, sorry.
TROLL BIOLOGY
Troll biology is something I’ve thought about only briefly, because I don’t even understand biology/anatomy like that anyway, so I’ll give it my best shot.
Troll skin is firm. Not hard like a shell, but not soft like human flesh. I think it is firm, because it has to take a lot of damage throughout a troll’s life. It doesn’t really tear like flesh, but maybe cracks, like when it gets cold outside and your skin gets dry and then splits and bleeds. I think that when it takes a hit and the skin does break, it starts as a scratch at first, then splits to accommodate the amount of damage done.
Maybe the closest I could actually get to explaining this better is that when the surface is scratched with a force from, say, Nepeta’s claws, the skin looks like it had been etched with a needle first. The skin takes the damage and spread the force out a little with the help of a thin layer of muscle, leaving only a thin line of damage behind. As the brain fully registers the damage, the muscles and skin react together to open the wound and allow blood flow. I don’t know if this makes sense, but whatever, I can see it in my mind.
Troll horns. Troll horns feel a little fuzzy. There isn’t actually any hair on them, but they feel like that material that I don’t know what it’s called. Sorry, this is bad.
I think that when trolls clench their fists or blush, there gray skin turns white and you can see a faint shade of their blood color in that area. I also think the palms of their hands are gray, tinted with their blood color as well.
From what I can remember from reading in passing, troll adults live in space because of things that happened in the past. I don’t know how true it is, but if it is true, this is my headcanon, if it is not, then ignore this and burn it from your mind.
Trolls are adults when they are about half of their projected life span. Maroon bloods have shorter life spans and Tyrian bloods have the longer ones. The half-life is the average life span, considering that they could be longer or shorter in reality. This gives all trolls a chance to add to the incestuous slurry before going off to battle in space. The closer to the half life, the more mature and responsible the troll. Someone has to run the businesses and stuff so I figure, why not?
The only exception to this rule would be educators at schools. (That is, if trolls even go to school. I would think that they do, but not until later in life. Maybe not until their eighth sweep and they don’t have all that elementary/high school bullshit either. They just go to university and that’s it. I don’t know why I think this.) The educators at the university return after service in the intergalactic armies and teach younger trolls how to go about living in Alternian society. After school, they live out the rest of their lives doing whatever.
So, yes, what next?
Ah, the recuperacoon. This is actually a very interesting idea in my opinion because I thought that it would be more like a mother’s womb is to a baby. It’s filled with spoor slime, which makes a troll not right in the head, but they sleep in it. So, spoor slime is like amniotic fluid. They dive head first into it and as they do so, they take a deep breath so the slime will fill their lungs. There is an epiglottis that seals off the stomach so trolls will only allow the slime into their lungs. They also sleep in a fetal position right side up, even though initially, they are upside-down.
The slime has a lot of nutrients in it that allow the trolls to regenerate during the day. Not to mention, it is similar, I guess, to slime within their eggs before hatching. They feel safe in their recuperacoons. It is soothing.
When they are ready to come out, they poke their heads out of the slime and heave up whatever is in their lungs. It is purely instinctual and they have no control over the intensity of their heave, so it can be quite violent and can hurt the muscles sometimes. Then they climb out and wash the slime off their skins.
I would probably go into more detail about this during RP, but I don’t know how well this idea will be received.
I guess I would move onto voices right now, but I already spammed my tumblr with my headcanon voices. I could do it here too, but then that would be over kill.
That’s all I have for now and I’m sorry I spammed this board so bad. I just tl;dr'd really a lot.
My apologies.
