Cut-off Gag: "Alexander Hamilton" from Hamilton
Hello, Description Reader!
I cannot believe we're almost 3,000 subscribers strong! :D
I have not been in the happiest mood the last few days because our family dog, Pepper, was put to sleep. But 17 years old is not too bad of a run for a dog his size! He's been in a few videos on this channel, but I can't name them specifically.
Summer classes have been going for a week now and they're pretty fun. One is a Science-fiction/Fantasy class and I'm learning a lot in it. Like, did you know Homestuck qualifies as a Space Opera?
Anyway, that's all for now! See you later!

I think that Sollux's lisp, might be related to the fact that he has two pairs of fangs instead of one and it makes it difficult for him to speak. I'm not sure though ^-^

[@20firebird]

in canon, that's the explanation, but outside the comic he was probably given a lisp because of the programming language

[@bluestorm2369]

For some reason, I thought he had two tongues too...

[@spallspacecrayon8861]

Am I the only one that thinks Andrew hussie put waaaay to much thought into the small details of homestuck? But I love it with my whole being

[@siIentmagician]

I absolutely love stories with tiny details

[@user-vw4xp5nt9f]

it seems just good luck that it's related sometimes.

[@AJ-wx3oo]

I actually LOVE the tiny details, they just show how much the creator pays attention to little things!

[@pungorma]

@Noemie Letman-Burtinovic yeah, they act like homestuck isn’t a big collaboration. There are others who were important in the creation

[@jadesapphira4325]

Sollux's Lusus is called Bicyclops which is a reference to the beatles movie, The Yellow Submarine which also coincides with sollux's colour

[@youmebothorneither]

Jade Sapphira no it’s biclops

[@homestuckhoovy1135]

@@youmebothorneither no it's bicyclops

[@Hirundo-demersalis]

9:18 the fact that his two dream selves would fight to the death reminds me of another thing, this time relating to bees (since he is/was a beekeeper). When more than one virgin queen bee hatches, they will also fight to the death until only one remains alive, after which she will embark on her nuptial flight. This may not be an intentional coincidence, but then again Homestuck is full of those.

oh my troll jegus

[@necr0va]

i know this is a bit late but here's a possible reference you missed. there's a blind prophet in the epic "The Odyssey" that warns Odysseus to not eat the sun god's cattle or else he'll never reach his homeland. Not only is sollux a blind prophet too, but this is also similar to how sollux warns karkat to not activate the virus. Not to mention both stories end with the opposite effect.

[@theKobaltPossum]

My session has both a Witch and Knight of Doom. Yep. We’re *DOOMED*

[@veredsun]

Suuuper late but Sollux was in love with a time and life player. one that deals with death and, well, life

[@ari3727]

i love u for this reply thank u thank u suffpsii is beautiful and should be celebrated

[@multigrandmarquis]

In [S] Attempt Rare And Highly Dangerous x5 Showdown Combo, Sollux (probably) wasn’t fluctuating between quadrants for Gamzee. Since the others were talking to Karkat about his (KK’s) relationship with Gamzee, it would make MUCH more sense if Sollux was asking Karkat whether he was flushed or caliginous for Gamzee, and didn’t realize he was talking to Cal.

[@KarcharodonAstra]

For any blind viewers who use their tastebuds to watch this show, the episode isn't over until the inception bwam starts.

[@empress9554]

Sollux is one of the best characters of all time

[@ChesSkelington]

I Heard That The Psi Symbol Originally Was Pronounced As Thi, Thiioniic, As In How Psiioniic Would Sound If Pronounced With A Lisp. Just Another Fun Fact That Convinces Me That Hussie Had A Legion Of People Looking Up The Most Random Of Random Shit All Linked Together For The Soul Purpose Of Fucking With The Fanbase.

[@20firebird]

sollux and his ancestor also both died at the same time for the same reason - killed by the vast glub.

[@CrimCrim]

It says in the printed copy of Act 5 act 1 that someone requested the name "Pollux Castor" in the suggestion box, but Hussie thought was too on the nose so he swapped some of the letters and changed it to "Sollux Captor"

[@gnostic423]

Sollux was actually trying to ask Karkat what quadrant he was in with Gamzee

[@Atomicrow]

The Ψ symbol in Greek is pronounced like "th" The Thiioniic.

[@pokewang2514]

I'm making a crossover with Homestuck and Hamilton. HOW

She should do a Fridgestuck on Trickster Mode if she hasn’t already- I wanna see someone analyze it :>

[@RoseMultiverse]

Sollux is/was polyam and you can't convince me otherwise

[@LaureledEevees]

Did you watch all the way to the end? ARE YOU EXCITED? Anyway, since the next few Fridgestuck episodes will be big productions, I'm taking August off to write, film and edit them so there will be videos during my next semester. I don't plan to be AFK all summer though! I plan on doing smaller projects, but I make no promises. Summer semesters are no joke!

If you do Feferi, be sure to mention that Feferi is technically John and Jade's great aunt.

[@isabelrafanan1419]

LaureledEevees DO JAKE

[@enderspy9529]

Great video Jen! Though, you did miss a fact: Sollux is also partially based on Cyclops from X-Men. Anyways, can you do Jade next?

[@kidsfornia4394]

Enderspy She has to do Vriska next though, it's the 8th episode

[@code8155]

after seeing that i would love to see one about gamzee (or eridan) these episodes are amazing

[@clipdump22]

galactic Conjurer eridan*

[@code8155]

oh.... thanks

[@honestlykillme4908]

I'd say the mage class suffers from their aspect and learn/teach people about their aspect sollux being the mage of doom suffers from doom you can relate to this in the comic because both trolls sollux love die Aradia and feferi Meulin is the mage of heart she suffers from heart because relationships fail or end up hurting her

[@shay3189]

actually karkat is the most paired troll . Sollux only has 4 ships and karkat has 7.

[@gayboi1012]

Shayna-Chan The Neko Tsudere Queen He has 5: Solkat, Solrezi, Erisol, Arasol, and Solfef (Ik its a difference of one but I read that like "that cant be true" and you werent far off)

[@roseveil621]

Actually, all the trolls have the same amount of ships, just Sollux has the most canon.

[@blairblue6769]

But Rufioh

[@Blitz-tk4jh]

youre not trying hard enough

[@achillesdykeza2063]

Since Mituna and Kurloz are (or was idk) Morails, it could correspond to Sollux having mixed feelings for Gamzee. Since Gamzee already has a Morail (Karkat), Sollux can't go that route like Mituna did. Gamzee also has a Kismesis (Terezi), but no Matesprit. This means he can't be an Auspistice (since Kanaya is automatically everyones Auspistice). That leaves Sollux with no way to express his feelings, so he's confused. Of course, Sollux has a Matesprit, and Eridan had pitch feelings for him at one point. In canon, Sollux has the most love interests and the most trolls want to be with him. In the end: *clears throat* No one can resist a man with 2 dicks.

[@iguessmynamesriya7658]

I just want to know how the fuck he manages to die 3 times and manage to survive as not one, but two independently distinct entities. He dies once due the vaste glub in his waking form, dies in his prospit self at the hands of jack, and dies piloting the ship through the furthest ring. And yet he lives on as both aerosolsprite, and half dead sollux. And the thing is that due to aerosolsprite existing he isnt even half dead anymore. I know that john retconned his (aerosols) existence but since the dream bubbles arnt affected that means that sollux dies 3 times and is still alive.

[@luckyc4t110]

I would love to see an Eridan video. Also, you'll need to take that ending down. I don't think it's allowed to be that perfect.

[@niel5595]

i'm so hype for eridan but the next you can do gamzee pleaaaase

[@emeraldarwyn5367]

GAMZEE FÉMININ agreed

[@fitombstne709]

GAMZEE FÉMININ I've been saying that since this Series has began

[@GarryDumblowski]

The next one needs to be Vriska, because it'll be the 8th Fridgestuck episode.

[@emeraldarwyn5367]

Clownpiece dammit

[@jamescameron5090]

You're the only person ,currently ,who thinks this. Sorry. It has to be Vriska.

[@robustcolma6430]

Can your next Fridgestuck video be on Jane please? She never gets a lot of attention and I think she might have some pretty cool facts!

[@missbitsbobbles3561]

The symbol 🔱(closest thing I could find to the phyonic symbol) is technically pronounced as ‘th’ Thionic

[@taimunozhan]

I think you're confusing the Psiioniic's Psi (pronounced as the PS in 'capsule') with the different Greek letter Theta (pronounced as the T in "take" in Ancient Greek but as the TH IN 'think' in later varieties). People might also confuse them with Phi (P as in 'peace' in Ancient Greek, PH as in 'physics' later on).

[@Kimikachu22]

Either Eridan or Gamzee please! The only two confirmed by Hussie "villains" in the Alternia Trolls.

[@Soliac.Trahkorsky]

[@user-wl4dm5kk7w]

These Fridgestuck videos are one of the best things on KZbin. Considering the fact that Homestuck is kind of dead at this point, it's really wonderful to see people making content based on it. I wish though it would come out more often, and be noticed by more people.

[@JP-cs5zr]

[@crowbird0540]

The 8lood also makes the Roman numeral 3 (III) showing that he has one more death left as he used the other two to fulfil the prophecy, I see this as a reward the game/universe gives him for following his task and not defecting despite it 8eing the most 8enifital for the rest.

[@sriramramesh5318]

I actually believe the whole "The 2 ascended dream solluxes have to duke it out to the death" thing. Why? Sollux has a big connection with bees. When a queen bee of a hive dies, worker bees scramble to prepare new queen bee larvae. This can sometimes result in multiple queen larvae hatching in close proximity. When this happens, the queens duke it out to the death and kill any unhatched queen larvae.

[@goopy9068]

i rlly rlly like fridgestuck and i hope im not being rude, but i saw something somewhere and if i could remember who it was id tell you but i cant remember, just the last fact i think you got slightly wrong! i think that sollux was asking karkat on his feelings for gamzee but since sollux is blind he couldnt tell it was lil cal! and of course, karkat being a piece of shit in the background not telling sollux that he was not talking to him, but to lil cal. i really love this and i hope you didnt take this as rude as i certainly didnt mean it that way! your channel is quite god and youre wonderful! keep doing the thingetydoo my lovely friend!

I love that Alexander Hamilton reference :D

[@nicolassagrillo1442]

sollux is also called a mutant by himself and also karkat, further connecting him to the tumor, which some characters in story specualate to be mutation specific to their session(the a1 trolls also had "a bomb", but it was never cofirmed to be another tumor, and even if it was, that session was ALSO "glitched as confirmed by scratch) sollux color being gold may be why the condesce wanted him other than for his powers, since meenah was also obsessed with riches and gold. his lisp also comes from having DOUBLE the number of fangs in his mouth finally, while agree with the view that the mage is the active understanding class, I do think your definition is plausible( there's actually some possible overlap, but I only have so much time and willingness to write about this). on the doom aspect, i dont think you got it right, neither with it meaning death nor self-sacrifice. death is usually ascribed as meaning to both doom nd time, which i take to mean "limitations" and "progression", respectively, opposing life and space, i.e.: "growth" and "(criative) potential". life is the ability to grow and create, to surpass limits, but there's only so much one can do, and that's where doom comes in, and sacrifice is born of the interaction of the two(and indeed, of the interaction of any two pairs). if the mages inverse is the heir(IM NOT BKEW) of life, then it would make sense that sollux is so LIVELY despite being DOOMED so often. on space time, space is a canvas that is meant to be filled, akin to void, but while void is meant to be illuminated by light, thus tempering uncertainty with kniwledge, space is changed by time, tempering the presence, and the things ARE, with possibility of adaptation, growth, the things that were and will/can come to be. see how every aspect is connected to every other? you need to think of it as a loop, which is hard because we think linearly. homestuck is one big self referenece of all things including itself. anyway, sollux. he uhhh is immortal probably? i forgot what i was talking about.

[@kittygurl16]

when sollux shows the fluctutation between spade and heart, i had read a theory that he and the other trolls there were actually trying to figure out which quadrant karkat was going for with gamzee. this is kinda hinted at with kanaya seeing clubs with both of them in it. it was just that sollux was newly blind and thus didnt know where karkat was, and karkat being the asshole he is he just left him to yell at lil Cal XDD

Don't forget the X-Men parallels Hussie mentioned on his formspring. The trolls are loosely based on the X-Men, with Sollux and Aradia fitting the Cyclops/Jean Grey roles.
