adding onto that other homestuck question u got, what are your hc's for their blood colors, if they were trolls? Some I see fitting blood colors that match w/ their zodiac, like Taka, but others don't really fit the blood color associated w/ theirs, like Byakuya being a Taurus = bronzeblood.
I’ve actually thought a bit about this before! From what I have heard, astrological signs aren’t as big a thing in Japan as they are in America, so there have been some times when I’ve looked at the official astrological signs for characters and just kinda had a flat “no” reaction to it. Like, Jotaro Kujo as an Aquarius? Absolutely. Jonathan Joestar as an Aries? Nope. 
I think Byakuya would definitely be Violet. He has a massive superiority complex and definitely says stuff that sounds like things Eridan would say (I’m keeping THH as Alternia and GD as Beforus), like that comment he has in school mode that very unfortunately sounds like he’s talking about ethnic cleansing.
Due to their association with psychic powers, I could see Sayaka being a goldblood! Although some of her sprites remind me of Aradia, for some reason? 
I’m kinda doing this out of order because Byakuya was the first one I thought of, but I’d always thought that Hina had a similar personality to Nepeta, or maybe closer to Meulin? Potentially because I think she’s also a Heart player. I think Chihiro’s friendship with Mondo is close to how Equius & Nepeta’s moirailegiance is, or maybe like how Meulin & Horuss are? But the Homespectrum section of the Homestuck wiki said that Olivebloods tends to have assassination type jobs which. I just. Did not remember. I gotta reread Homestuck, lol.
Okay, about Jadebloods: “Jade Signs are the zodiac’s caretakers. Intelligent and steady, they are excellent organizers and planners. They are detail-oriented, and can tend toward perfectionism, never satisfied with their endeavors. If you hire on a Jade Sign, be prepared for an excellent product, but also no peace until that project is flawless. They are fussy and particular, which can cause friction with those around them, although a Jade Sign holds no one to as high a standard as they hold themselves.”
So. That’s definitely Taka! And I think that it’s especially cool how that fits his canonical astrological sign, although his birth date was meant as a joke. 
I’ve seen people drawing Taka before as Tealblood, and that does make a certain kind of sense since he is drawn to justice, but I think I would place this one as Kyouko. Being involved in legal-type stuff is apparently a, like, requirement of their blood type, and Kyouko went into being a detective because it runs in her family. 
Celes is Cerulean: “Let’s not mince words: Blue Signs are the ones to watch. Of all the sign classes, they have the potential to do the most good, but also cause the worse harm. They can be incredibly effective, and also incredibly destructive. Tell a Blue Sign this and chances are they would agree with you. They are magnetic and adaptive, able to adjust how they present themselves in any situation. They have a mask for every occasion. They are obsessively dedicated, willing to throw themselves into work, play, and everything in between. Because of this, Blue Signs are highly valuable allies and friends. However, they are very selective when it comes to who they let into their inner circle. You could be best friends with a Blue Sign and still never truly know them. They are powerful and successful, but they also tend toward jealousy. They often resent those they see as more well-positioned than they are. A well-adjusted Blue Sign is fantastically competent and inspiring, but a Blue Sign at their worst is a force for chaos.”
I’m sure the comparison between Celes and Vriska has been drawn, but for whatever it’s worth, I think Ardata Carmia is a closer fit. I’d go into details, but that would constitute Hiveswap Friendsim spoilers so I won’t!
Reading about Indigo signs, I’m kind of surprised to say this but I think that may fit Hiro best. Excitable, changing their tastes in an instant (I was thinking of that time when he says something about like, “my character wasn’t fully developed then!”), tactless comments and flailing limbs (his jacket, oh god), digging their heels in to insist they did nothing wrong when they hurt peoples’ feelings. 
I’m going to say flat-out that Junko is Fuschia because Meenah and HIC definitely fit Junko. 
Makoto…if I opted to make him a troll instead of a human, would probably make him mutated blood, for his role as the leader and having uniting forces among his friend group and would probably be the one most likely to form bonds outside the boundaries of quadrants. But I could also see this fitting Mukuro, because there’s not much we know about her and Junko would absolutely hold her being a mutant over her head to manipulate her.
Now, for who I have left…. there’s
LeonChihiroMondo HifumiSakuraToko
I think Toko could maybe be Burgandy. She has a lot of self-esteem issues in regards to her looks that I think would translate well into the Homestuck ‘verse as self-esteem issues relating to the hemospectrum and her likelihood to be culled. I could also see Burgandy working well for Chihiro, because of its relationship to ghosts. I feel like I’ve seen people headcanon her as Bronzeblood, mostly so they can have a thing about Mondo as cerulean killing her and that…I just do not think is fair to compare Chihiro & Mondo’s relationship to that of Vriska & Tavros’. They have completely different contexts to them. 
Alongside Makoto, I would actually probably make Sakura & Leon humans. I’m not sure where on the hemospectrum that they would fit. Maybe Leon would be Violet as well? He doesn’t really ring a lot of the same bells as Eridan, but I could see him being more like Cronus, maybe. Or even a bronzeblood as Rufioh: an equal opportunity himbo. 
I would not put Mondo as a Purple blood at all. I know that’s common because “ohhhh big violent big scary!” but Mondo really isn’t a wildcard, I don’t read him as a Rage player and I don’t think he’d be that high up on the hemospectrum. I could see Junko fitting as the wildcard with ridiculously strong psychic powers who fucks with the timeline enough to ruin things for literally everybody. I know I already said she was Fuschia for being like Meenah or HIC, but I think the purple description fits her as well. Maybe she’d be the Gamzee (or Kurloz, given that he was capable at brainwashing) with Mukuro as the hands-off Fuschia blood, more like Feferi? 
I saw someone draw Hifumi as bronzeblood before, but like Sakura and Leon I don’t really see anyone I think he really fits in terms of parallels. It’s something that I guess would make sense if you have Celes-as-Vriska but I’m not sure comparing him to Tavros is fair. So for the bronzeblood…I don’t know, I guess Mondo? I could see Mondo being Indigo, as he clearly has some kind of magnetism to be able to run that gang - he just wouldn’t be a particularly well-adjusted Indigoblood. He is careless - at least emotionally - and sometimes is unintentionally tactless. I would only put him as Bronze because Gundham isn’t in this game and he’s the closest we get to someone who might be able to commune with animals. 
Hbu, what do you think?

Homestuck^2 - Reactions Chapter 1 “Ghostflusters” (Pages 33 - 56)
Time for Chapter 1: Ghostflusters!
So what's it gonna be? Ghostbusters Earth-C rip-off videogame? Furthest Ring ghosts something something?
In any case, presumably perspective switch incoming in 3... 2... 1...?
Page 33:
OH HELL. FUCKING. YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!
IT'S FUCKING CANDY EARTH!!!!!!
HOLY SHIT I SCREAMED OUT LOUD AT THIS
I HOPED FOR THIS
I HOPED FOR THIS SO FUCKING HARD
I'm so happy about this!!!
I was SO afraid that John, Vriska, Jane, Jake and Alpha Calliope would not appear at all in Homestuck^2, give or take a brief conversation from Terezi with John and/or Vriska or something.
But this!!!!
THIS!!!!
Oh man I screamed of joy and pumped my fist at multiple parts of this page. First the image! Then the "wind skims the void" esque quote. Followed with the confirmation that this is Candy Earth. And finally, the mention that it's JAKE and not John!
I've mentioned it before, but I absolutely loved the way Candy Jake was portrayed, and I thought it was a shame that we'd never see him again.
I hadn't dared dream we'd revisit these people on Candy Earth!!!
Oh god oh man oh god... are we PLEASE going to get official art for Tavros Crocker, Harry Anderson Egbert and Vriska Maryam-Lalonde???? :O
Also, can we just appreciate the fact that John has finally removed that banner of his 18th birthday? :P
abundantChewtoys has a good point, is Dirk the narrator here?
To be honest, the fact that the next arrow seems to be within brackets, and how the Candy path was portrayed before, for now I'm going to assume that we've returned to a speakerless narration.
Page 34:
LOOK AT HIM. HE'S GROWN A MUSTACHE! :D
He's starting to look more and more like good ol' Grandpa.
This entire bit of narration... god, I'm so proud of him. You go, Jake!
This seems to imply that this isn't taking place very long after the events of the Candy path, in any case. Not very long after they moved in with John. Seeing as he's still talking about the state the house is in because John was gone for so long.
Heh... so Tavros is out with Vriska right now. Please don't tell me this will be an excuse for them not to show up in Homestuck^2. :P
Anyway, I wonder where this will be going.
Just, for now, some Jake introspection and perhaps dialog with John or... hmm, what if this is taking place around the time of Dave's death? That Jade might have found his body and will need someone to talk to? :(
I'm incredibly curious if there's going to be some kind of overlap between the Meat and Candy stories, now after Calliope, Aradia and Davebot have left this reality.
Or are we going to get 2 separate stories? One for Meat, and one for Candy, fully separate?
I'm leaning into the overlap theory, if only for the fact that otherwise I'd have assumed the two to have been split up just like the Epilogues were.
Page 35:
I absolutely love this art.
Eesh... Jake might have developed a drinking problem. I wouldn't really blame him after all he's been through, but still. Maybe he should have a good talk with Roxy.
Page 37:
Holy shit! For a second I thought we were switching perspectives to someone else, but I think abundantChewtoys is right!
That looks like Jake's old jungle. The good ol' Homestuck sun, and all those trees...
Oh man, what is Jake dreaming about? Brobot/Dirk? Grandma? The Lusii? Something else entirely?
Haha, just before moving on to the next page I noticed that John's old drawing is still attached to the fridge. That's adorable.
Page 38:
Wow... okay, it's being made clear that it's a dream and not reliving a memory or such. He's not his 16-year old self, nor is he dressed like it (his outfit and gun are from SBURB).
I wonder what he's being chased by? Some kind of Jane-like monster? :P
Or Dirk.
...Gl'bgolyb? It DOES have way too many limbs, after all.
Page 39:
...Welp. It's fucking Dirk.
I sincerely hope it's "just" a dream, but I'm getting afraid it's going to turn out that Meat Dirk can contact Candy Jake in his dreams. :(
Page 41:
HOLY MOTHER OF A FUCK IT'S BRAIN GHOST DIRK.
HELL YES
Oh jeez, I did NOT expect that
Looks like he even transcends any individual Jake, because he remembers the events of the Game Over timeline!
Also, Jake remembers meeting Aranea in his dreams? Then I guess that happened before his pre-retcon and post-retcon selves became separate beings?
Oh man, is it just me or is Brain Ghost Dirk totally ripping on the normal Dirk here?
I always loved Brain Ghost Dirk. Those were the main moments we could see Jake and 'Dirk' talk to each other back in the original Homestuck.
Is... is he going to warn Jake about what his Meat self is up to?
On the other hand, there IS some kind of connection between Brain Ghost Dirk and 'normal' Dirk, what with how he transformed into Dirk in that one Dreambubble meetup.
I'm really curious what's going on!
But if Brain Ghost Dirk truly is the "last sane Dirk standing", then I fully approve of it! And immediately I'm starting to hope that he's going to materialize into a real person again.
I'd absolutely love to see Brain Ghost Dirk fight ordinary Dirk.
...
Holy fuck, abundantChewtoys is right. "Ghostflusters" is probably referring to Jake and Brain Ghost Dirk, haha. Is that now the official shipping name for Jake and Brain Ghost Dirk? xD
Just imagine what Jake must be feeling like now. Dirk has been dead for DECADES from his perspective. So to see him again, in some form, after all this time...
Pages 42 - 43:
...Welp, that was sudden! Why did Brain Ghost Dirk wake him up again so soon?
Did he mean it as a warning, a warning not to trust Dirk?
Or is Brain Ghost Dirk now going to appear in front of Jake in real life now, just like how he used to see Brain Ghost Dirk alongside him while nobody else could?
Page 44:
Huh, why is he looking at his hand? Is there something between his hand and the table? Did Brain Ghost Dirk somehow provide him an object that now materialized in the real world?
Page 45:
OH YES, I KNEW IT. He's seeing Brain Ghost Dirk!!!! :D
I'm starting to wonder... what with how the Candy Earth seems to be out of reach for Meat Dirk, maybe that's going to be key to defeating him?
I mean, other than Alternate Calliope being capable of suppressing his narration, anyone else from the Candy timeline could be essential too!
I guess it depends, can he get control on them if they are to enter the Meat universe? Or is he unable to control them even if they enter his universe, just because they come frmo Candy?
Page 47:
!!!!!
Oh man, this is the Brain Ghost Dirk I love so much. Being absolutely Dirk, but doing what's best for Jake. I love this guy.
Looks like, for now, the plot on Candy Earth will continue to be disconnected from the Meat universe! This is actually going to focus on Jake standing up against Jane, holy shit!
I'm so curious just what exactly Jake's going to DO here.
But I'm liking it very, VERY much already! :D
Page 48:
Holy SHIT, we're not wasting any time here! STRAIGHT to Jane's battleship it is! And here comes Jake with Brain Ghost Dirk right behind him.
Wow... just look at this ship. Looks just like The Condesce's ship, with a slightly more colorful make-over.
And sporks. Goddammit, the sporks. xD
I wonder, are we going to get a reprise of that scene on Derse? With mindcontrolled Jane visiting Jake in his prison cell and upsetting him, while Jake was also talking to Brain Ghost Dirk.
I wonder what Jane will look like... I wouldn't be surprised if it's more like her mindcontrolled self. And like abundantChewtoys suggested, perhaps with a bit of business suit and Condesce jumpsuit thrown into the mix. :/
Page 49:
Jane LOOKS like she's receiving Jake with open arms... but it's gonna be so much of a trap isn't it?
She's gonna appear sweet and kind for a second, lulling Jake into a false sense of hope that she's back to normal... and then she's going right back to being a jerk, isn't she?
That, or she's holding out her hand to instantly give him a slap in the face or something.
Page 50:
...Well then! That I did not expect.
Looks like Vriska took Tavros right with her to the rebellion! The question is, did Vriska force him or did Tavros voluntarily go?
Nonetheless, it's not like he's gonna be in a prison camp there or something.
I love Jake's reaction here. He knows Tavros is better off there than with Jane.
Unbelievable. Jane didn't know Jake was GONE all this time? Damn.
Well uh, at least Jake won't have much trouble infiltrating then I guess. xD
Page 51:
Oh man, what's Brain Ghost Dirk going to do? Shit on her desk? xD
Pages 52 - 53:
Ahahahahha, Dirk, no, what are you doing. xD
This is the Dirk I want to see more of, oh my god.
Page 54:
Omfg, Jake's shirt!!! It's a mix of John's slime t-shirt and Jake's own skull logo!
I wonder who created that. Did John give him this t-shirt, or did Jake take one of John's t-shirts and put his skull logo on top of it? :P
Page 55:
Oh man. I like how the light effects make the bottom of his shades more orangey, like Meat Dirk's new shades.
Page 56:
That dialog definitely created some awkwardness there!
But it's definitely good. It shows Jake a bit more of what Dirk really thought like, that it wasn't all good stuff.
That's the end of the first chapter! :O
I didn't expect the chapters would be relatively short. I guess they'll be mean to differentiate between different scenes, and when the perspectives will be switch? And not really like the gigantic acts of Homestuck. :P
I gotta say, I'm really liking the way this Epilogue is going so far.
I can't get enough of Candy Jake. To me, he was the absolute highlight character of the past Epilogues, and I'm SO glad that doesn't stop being a thing here in Homestuck^2!
Oh man, "Clown Logistics" is the next chapter... that's definitely going to be something Gamzee related!
But... what, exactly?
Is it going to be a department here on Jane's ship? Perhaps we now switch over to Jane's perspective?
I'm having a hard time coming up with anything else, considering we've never seen Meat Gamzee and Candy Gamzee is supposed to be... well, uh, dead.
Definitely doesn't look like we're headed back to Meat Dirk just yet!
