Before you ask, I don't know where I'm going with this either. So far, the plan is to do Hivebent, but if I get enough requests, I'll do the whole of Homestuck, and go back to Act One. Enjoy.


Act 5 (Act 1), Part 1

Elsewhere in paradox space, we examine another planet, forgotten by time. But we will STRIVE TO REMEMBER!

What was this planet's name?

Oh, ha ha, nice one smartypants, hilarious. Lets get real here, no more clowning around. Try again.

Thats much better. In fact, as it happens, your guess is preciseley correct. What are the odds? We examine the planet Hetalia. Somewhere on this planet is a young troll.

Hivetalia. This young troll stands in his respite block. It just so happens that today, the fourteenth bi-lunar parogy of the seventh seasons equinox, is the day of this young trolls larval awakening, also known as his wriggling day. Though it was six solar sweeps ago he was given life, it is only today he will be given a name.

Six Hetalian solar sweeps, for comedic reference, is equivalent to thirteen Earth years. Earth, also for conclusive reference, is a planet that does not yet exist.

What will the name of this young troll be?

You enter something predictably derogatory and this guy tires of your shenanigans and wanders off to find someone to stick his bone bulge in. This guy has a lot of troll pals and their adventures are going to be quite extensive and convoluted, to an even greater degree than one may have become accustomed.

He thinks that if you think we have time to drag out every little gag and expected pattern along the way, he would rather be making sweet l'amor than amusing you people. He thinks you should gently place that agreement in your squinthole and root it firmly in with your most exquisite of cartilage nubs.

Your name is Franci Bonnef. As was previously mentioned, it is your wriggling day, a thing most definitely worth mentioning, as it is the anniversary of the coming of the most beautiful and handsome troll on the planet, of which there are very few beautiful or handsome trolls worthy of comparison, in your opinion at least.

Equally, a thing worth mentioning is your interests. You have a pass for spectacularly bad romantic movies and rom-coms. You should really be embarrassed for liking this cinematic tripe, but for some reason you are not. You like to draw digital art, but are notoriously pretty awful at it. You artwork invariably look like crayon drawings drawn by a hyperactive two-year old, which is just excellent, as you like to think you specialise in alternative artwork.

When you mature, you aspire to join the ranks of the most gorgeous members of your society, the Romancexcutioners. You like to practice with your Royal-Coloured Stem Supported Flora, but just end up feeling forever alone with no-one to talk to in your room.

You like to chat with some of your other troll pals, most of whom are unfortunately completely immune to your romantic advances. You have been trying out a new chat client beta called Trollian, and you are not really sure what you think about it yet.

Your trolltag is champagneGarcon, and you speak in manner, 3- THAT IS VERY FLIRTATIOUS AND EMPHATIC AT ALL TIMES!

Later, you will play a game with five other friends, and go on a big adventure. This game, for convenient reference, is a game that does not yet exist, but it will soon.

What will you do?

In the corner of your room is your Recuperacoon, full of nourishing Sopor slime. Every young troll enjoys the the sensual embrace of such a vessel at night, and the relaxing fluid helps stem the visions of an exotic and erotic manner that plague the twisted subconscious of your species.

Needless to say, you refrain from using it as much as possible, but a few minutes couldn't hurt…

Oui, relaxing, but there really is no need to sleep without an exquisite body beside you. Besides, there are many important things to do today. you are sort of a big deal.

Uh, slime. You remember another reason why you do not use you recuperacoon on a regular basis. Now you shall have to change your clothes too.

Luckily all your clothes are simply variations of the same fabulous outfit. Most trolls do not appreciate the style that goes into such a wardrobe.

My my, you have gotten off track, haven't you? You must continue your exploration of the young trolls' respite block.

You space out and get caught up reading the titles of the films for about five minutes. Wow these movies are great. You don't care what anyone says. Pure magic.

Is that…

Is that Johnny Depp?

The thing that most people don't realise is that Johnny Depp is a universal constant.

This movie… ok, this one even you have a hard time defending. But still, it's so best thing is how Troll LaBeof doesn't make you want to punch anything.

Like, nothing at all, really hard of anything.

You grab your trusty Flora with your Artwork modus. To retrieve it, you'll need to draw exactly the item contained within to open the drawing pad left behind.

This will obviously prove to be a completely ridiculous and untenable way of managing an inventory, and lead to a great many follies. Later on, you would swap your modus with your otaku friend, a person who unlike you, happens to be competent with a mouse. It would only make sense.

But for the time being it makes your life kind of a nightmare. There are so many stupid things that happen because of this modus. So many, you just have no idea. You take the drawing pad.

Sacre bleu!

You hear some unhappy grumbling through the hole below. This was not the most practical thing you could have done right now.

You make quite sure NOT to captchalogue a large black book, and simply pick it up to read it

It is a thick how-to-draw manual called "~ATH - A HANDBOOK FOR THE ARTISTICALLY HANDICAPPED."

~ATH is an insufferable drawing style to draw in. Its logic is composed of nothing but infinite loops, or at best, loops of effectively interminable construction.

You have a whole bunch of art samples you've been messing around with on your computer. It's been frustrating at best, and debilitating to your 'important' hand at worst.

You step outside your respiteblock, onto one of your hive's numerous extraterraneal landing slats. You were allowed to design this hive when you were young, after you emerged victorious from your trials deep in the brooding caverns. You have lived here with your custodian ever since.

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.

Getting to build your own hive at a young age using whatever meandering design you chose likely has left you jaded to the notion of customizing your abode. You certainly wouldn't get all that worked up about a game that happened to allow you to do such a thing.

At least not for that reason.

You head back into your block and hit up your computer station. No word from any of your wonderfully available pals. Though, no news is good news. 'Tis sweet music to your auricular sponge clots.

You examine a magazine on your desk. It's the latest issue of GAME GRUB.

This one appears to boast about "exclusive leaks". They all boast about that. You're not even really sure what it means.

You pick up on of the many discs scattered around your desk. It is a DVD of one of your favorite series, Hetalia High School Host Glub.

It's about a rust romancexcutioner cadet who sasses up the bluebloods in her learnsquad pretty good. Their blood is literally blue. Lousy snobs. But Troll Caitlin Glass shows them all how to loosen up. She is pretty much your hero.

Troll TV shows have shorter titles than troll movies because TV is a much newer form of media in their society. Which is a good thing because it would be pretty hard to make this funny joke otherwise.

Ok, enough messing around. Time to get some work done maybe a little art- ooooh, my.

It figures that installing this new beta chat client would open the floodgates. All your beautiful friends are going to be hounding you relentlessly. Not that they needed an excuse before.

You wonder what this young troll wants.

Why, who is this strange, interesting troll?

You do not know. Many things elude you. You do not know how much of the world works, only that it is strange and mysterious and very, very interesting. Who wants life to be boring? Uninteresting people, thats who. People who take lemons and make lemonade instead of of sweet, stupor- inducing troll vodka and making everyone wonder how the hell you did it.

It is very strange.

So what is your name?

Your name is Ivanbr Aginsk. You get pretty excited by flora of a lowblood hue which easily die facing towards the harsh Hetalian sun. You belong to a very exclusive group, which prevents the development of technology beyond what is available to prevent the excellence of the higher castes. Despite this, you feel no need to help anyone and instead spend ludicrous amounts of money on weapons, troll vodka, and classic airships.

You like to fly your airships, though you have yet to purchase one that can actually leave the ground. You enjoy copious amounts of troll vodka and indulge in a little redfruit soup sometimes. You have many faucets scattered around, for protection against you many enemies of both the black and red persuasions.

You like to chat a lot with your pal Franci, who is usually pretty hormonal, but he is your best friend. You have a lot of other great friends, and some other great friends who like you less than they really should. Your trolltag is trotskyChelyabinsk and you speak in a manner which EmphAsisEs ThE posiTivEs ANd NEgATivEs iN Your spEEch.

What will you do?

You take a bottle of troll vodka. To consume the beverage is what your fellow trollcoholics refer to as 'getting totally shitfaced.'

It is captchalogued through your one modus. Everything is categorised as one and the same thing in this modus.

As it should be.

You take your Unitop.

Sometimes you just like to pick stuff up and watch everything be shared equally. It's so beautiful. Life is beautiful.

You decide to attempt to make one of your classic planes leave the ground. Maybe one day you will find an honest dealer who you won't have to execute once the plane malfunctions. But for now, you try to fly this one.

You just need to figure out which button to press.

You cause a troll Michael fucking Bay explosion and blast from the carnage back into your hive.

You spot a bowl of redfruit soup cooling on the counter from your spot on the floor.

It is still piping hot but you can't help yourself. You sneak a taste of the redfruit soup. You aren't supposed to eat that soup, it does funny things to a troll's head. But you were never taught that on account of a lousy upbringing. Your custodian was always out to sea.

That is where he is now. Maybe you will go outside and see if you can spot him. You grab a faucet pipe. You'll need it if you are going to go out. It is dangerous to leave unarmed. You leave your hive and head out to the beach. There is no sign of your custodian. You should not stay out here very long. The SEA DWELLERS are quite hostile.

Someone is contacting you. This is exciting. You're always down for proposing to become one with anyone that who'll put up with you. Except for GA. Fuck that guy.

Now if only you could figure out how to get your Unitop out of this stupid thing. It'll certainly be strange if you can manage.

You contemplate the perfection of everything as one, and cautiously access your modus. Your sylladex launches your troll vodka far, far into the ocean.

Since there is nothing actually left in your modus, you grab your Unitop right out of it. Very strange.

Finally some peace and quiet. Now you can bear down on your artwork. This will surely last all evening, without interruption.

You reopen one of your ~ATH projects you started recently. You are still horsing around with the conditions for redrawing the loops.

What many ~ATH artists do is sketch finite constructs and bind the loops to their expanse. For instance the main loop here will terminate on the end of the circle. That way you only have to wait billions of years for it to end instead of forever.

Your otaku buddy is obnoxiously good at it. She's sent you some pieces which you still don't understand, but you're not going to admit that. She is even better at making erotic art than you, which really gets stuck in your nook.

This series of artworks, when played consecutivleyy, immediately causes the user's computer to explode, and places a curse on the user forever, along with everyone he knows, and everyone he'll ever meet.

Not surprisingly, later on you would run this code in a fit of stupidity.

You don't know how she does stuff like this. What does this even mean? It's nonsense. Is it even pixely viable? Are those positions even legal? ARGH. Maybe you should ask her about it some time.

Oh speak of the devil. Here she is bugging you about something. Time to put on your game face and pretend you don't think very highly of her abilities.
