Hello folx, I want to plant my flag here and create a safe space for enjoyers of the dancestors and their mysterious beta counterparts.


Personally I have a mighty need for a full d/ancestor story/adventure, if there’s any recommendations please share! (I have high hopes for Befriendus!)


Also just share your love For your faves! Tell me your HCs! I stan The Worst Character In Homestuck, so this is a judgment free zone.

if you guys haven't listened to the unofficial 'tomb of the ancestors' album i would totally recommend, it has a track for each of the ancestors and it's sooo good. i thought it was official for years but it really hits the vibe for all of them super well, one of my favourite fanworks ever

@degbert

if you see this youre real as fuckkkk. mischaracterization is my mortal enemy in homestuck because 99% of the fandom cant read lmaooooo


@moonsprinquel


yeah i get why some headcanons can be useful for characterization, but i feel like ancestor characterization specifically needs to be based off the dancestors, and vice versa for the beta trolls and the alpha ancestors. for example i think it makes a lot of sense for kankri to have been culled by a highblood alpha ancestor, my personal guess being alpha eridan. im of the opinion he took some of alpha eridan's better talking points (he would be a pretty aggressive public speaker/protestor) and got them fucked up in his cringefail twitter user brain to better serve his personal motivations and desires

scorpio. classes don't apply to real people, but i'd be a light or rage player

I'm not a big dancestor person (although I love both Aranea and Meenah) but man, the ancestors are the best! Their story was absolutely captivating to me ever since I read Homestuck for the first time. Watching the animation "After Us" by ToastyGlow definitely didn't hurt ;)
