Players who have multiple dreamselves definitely have a unique set of advantages and difficulties. Obviously its nice to have the ability to be revived twice. I can imagine, however, it is confusing to be bounced from moon to moon. As[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This is absolutely possible, but of course, as with nearly all mutated sessions, it depends on the shenanigans of the players, generally due to time loops. One querent to this blog apparently had to deal with ‘a pair of 200[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I realize that sexuality in Carapaces is not a subject I have discussed in depth yet, which strikes me as remiss- or perhaps only somewhat modest- of me. Allow me to address some of it now. As I have discussed[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The King’s power is absolutely transferable through possession of his scepter. Any carapace holding it would be able to wield it, and yes that does include the Black Queen. Obviously, prototypings would not double, but the Queen would receive the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Ask-Derse Guide to Dreamself Awakening:Using Astral Projection and Lucid Dreaming Methods The number one question I receive on this blog is ‘how do I wake my dreamself up?’. Historically, I have had no answer for this, as my own dreamself[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This is an interesting question. I hadn’t read Homestuck until I had been in the medium for some time, due to the strange way that our computers interact with the internet here. In the main, Homestuck has not presented much[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I am afraid this is a very, very broad question. I cannot answer it unless I know what your situation is. Please, feel free to ask me a follow up with more details. As for ‘how this works’ I suppose[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
You are absolutely forgiven, querent, as I am happy always to give advice. I am sorry that it took so long to give you an answer- things have been busy on Derse today. Here are my answer for you First:[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Obviously there is an economy on Derse, as goods and services are exchanged. Such exchanges are made in money (Boondollars, as with the rest of the medium). Dersites are paid by their employers for their labor, their wages are taxed[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Bowing (single arm across the waist, bend at the small of the back) or curtsying (dip knees apart, arms slightly extended holding your skirt if one is present) are considered gestures of respect toward a monarch or politician of suitable[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Unfortunately, that is a real possibility. I am deeply sorry that I was unable to answer your question until now, and I am curious if you ever regained your connection to your dreamself. Given that you were on Prospit, it[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This is a difficult question and one I do not entirely have the answer to. Of course I have plenty of musings on the matter, but nothing concrete. The most I can say is typically about my own session and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I must tell you this. Yes, sburb is very real. It comes by many names, but you will know it when it arrives in your timeline. Are you searching for it?
If you are lucky enough to know your session mates before the game begins, and one of them is awake on their moon, you could simply ask them what moon you are on, and even what your title is. As[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I would say that the ‘problem’ with this plan would be that it is very difficult to forcibly wake up your dream self in any way. I have never heard of someone trying to shake awake their own dreamself, but[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The main currency used on Derse is the same as on Prospit and throughout the rest of the medium, Boondollars. They are also referred to as boonbucks or boonies, and the symbol for the currency is a longtailed uppercase B[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Ah, my apologies for misinterpreting your question; allow me to elaborate here. The Queens are typically referred to as ‘Your Majesty’ when speaking to them, or ‘Her Majesty’ when speaking about them to someone else. They are also referred to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The relationship between the two queens begins the session as apparently nonexistent. When I awoke on Derse the Black and White Queen had neither seen nor spoken directly to one another since their genesis on Skaia at the beginning of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Carapaces (both Prospitians and Dersites) have two names; a personal name, and a title, sometimes called a ranknym which is officially bestowed, and reflects their job, temperament, achievements, etc. The ranknym is a carapace’s public name, used in identification, to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I received several questions today about waking up on Derse and Prospit, so I have to wonder if another batch of games has gone out. If those of you who asked would like to give me more information, I’d be[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It is socially acceptable for anyone to ‘go pants-less’ assuming the length of the dress or tunic reaches the middle of the hip/thigh area. I would liken this to wearing a daringly cut miniskirt in terms of length– not however[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I may need some clarification about what you mean here, because when I read ‘no pants and no shirt’ what I understand is ‘naked’. It is socially unacceptable for Dersite to appear naked in public. It would be considered either[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Dersites do wear undergarments, often in any case, though no universally. Below I will outline the types of undergarments I have or haven’t seen available, and worn. As a note, you will find that all carapace undergarment types are unisex,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
You are quite right, there is no authority that could directly punish the Black Queen for breaking prophecy in some way. However, due to the nature of the medium it is believed that if this were to happen then Skaia/Prophecy[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I have many questions to get to and rest assured that the answers to them are coming. However there is a topic of particular interest to myself which I have wished to cover, and, returning to this blog after its[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Firstly I must apologize as in a rather stuporous state I accidentally deleted this ask. Fortunately however, I keep screenshot backups. Secondly I would like to apologize for my prolonged absence. I am afraid I indulged a little too heavily[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
To put it simply, both the King and the Queen rule Dersites, but only the Queen rules the planet of Derse– this is the same for the Prospitian royalty. Because the King spends his life of Skaia waging war, the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A peaceful resolution to the conflict over Skaia *can* be reached under certain circumstances. Every session is unique, as is every group of players, and I am sure that numerous solutions are possible, however there are several key points I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I feel by now it should be apparent, but I will state here for the sake of transparency. At this point, I live full time on Derse. Before our session began, I was one of those rare and in some[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This is in fact a question I had intended to answer quite soon myself, so I’m glad that you asked. There is in fact, an exact, reflected physical duplicate of each person, on each moon (for the most part.) This[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
