    Some discussion on Tumblr about the theory that the Alternian Empire never actually conquered any aliens because there aren't any (note that the only evidence we have that Alternia conquers aliens is that Alternians tell us so):

    I feel like I recall something in canon that said like each of the planets (Earth, Alternia, and Callie/Caliborn's birthplace) were ALL Earth so it strikes me that outside of SBURB, that there are no actual aliens in Homestuck until you actually get into the game. Which, if true, would lend some huge support to that theory.

    The Big Bangs are underway!! We've been Considering having a winter miniswap (it would be for Polyswap, so Poly Homestuck Pairings Only, do not show up and tell us "I'd be into it if it was [other thing]", that gets you nothing but Pissed Mods), but that would depend on several factors, e.g. how quickly mods finish their own assignments, how busy we are with work/school, and how our IRL stuff is going

    this is kind of an...interest check? If we can manage to get all the ducks in a row, would people want a winter miniswap?

    (note: miniswaps are 500 words or one sketch)

    Since miniswaps are fairly small prompts, I'm game for it

    it would also probably be themed! we have a few suggestions (okay we have one) and some mod ideas (we have several of these) for what it would be

    ...we're also going to be hammering the "we're not drone season" point a little harder from here on out

    DON'T GET ME WRONG the mod squad loves drone season it puts out good shit but it's also SUPER difficult to mod kink-heavy stuff in a Minors Included swap @_@

    I would totally do a miniswap!

    General fandom exchange question: how difficult or feasible would it be if someone wanted to make something for someone, but didn't want anything in return?

    You could be a pinch hitter or just a gifter (when the prompts are released to the public near the end ppl usually are free to submit) All the joys of making without the wanting things in return

    GB's got it right! you could also do what we've had some people do—list off a few characters that you enjoy seeing and say "go wild, anything on [theme] in your style with these guys, please and thank you"
    certain exchanges also allow "any character" for prompts, so that's an option too @Saro—polyswap doesn't, because we match by hand (HELL!!! IT IS HELL!!!!!!) but if you want to include some notes on "hey I tagged these six bc they're my faves but ANYONE [except hard no characters] is good!" we'll take it into account and wish you many many winter blessings

    Question: is the ARG stuff real? I'm having a really hard time wrapping my mind around the fact anyone would ever think that was a good idea at all. I just want like... confirmation its real so I know whether to be upset or not

    Well. Then someone really really really really really really fucked up beyond what I thought was possible for a series that has so many people who can doublecheck something before it gets posted.

    Can somebody actually just straight up say what the fuck has happened because I just keep getting a bunch of sidestepping around the fucking issue.

    the “history” straight up claimed the holocaust was einstein’s fault because he was a fraud, and hitler knew he was a fraud, and this “made” hitler antisemetic.
