Fridgestuck: Roxy Lalonde (Facts/Theories)

It may be Karkat's birthday, but we talking about Roxy, my favorite kid from Homestuck's original run.
Why is her name ironic and iconic? How many video game easter eggs does she sport? And Mom Lalonde? Underappreciated! Peer past the Void in this Rougishly fantastic video!

15:05 Wow Hussie that is not the answer I would have given... I would have said. "All of them are canon, not all are alpha timeline, some are doomed timelines. It's up to you to figure out which is which."

Epilogues: exist A majority of the fandom: im gonna pretend I didnt see that

[@dappershinx9234]

I love them personally for all they represent. I think the difference in experience comes with the fact that I stopped caring so much about the individual characters because Act 6 kinda ruined a lot of them in my mind so I was more focused on the themes which were executed very well Homestuck^2 can burn though

I don't want to change your view, I agree

[@shinypaintf588]

no need to.

[@hoarsebard]

I often think about Dad Crocker and Dad Egbert. Like, they're exactly the same person just with a different parent and children. It makes me wonder what Dad's classpect could be in particular if he were a player. I'm tempted to say he's a time player as he may have some kind of power similar to Lord English's property of being "already here". Like, the IDEA of him seems to be a universal constant. Except instead of being "already here", he's "always there". Which, as an aside, is a very fatherly property.

[@kitkatmuffin]

Roxy is best boy/girl/enby (depending on if ur talkin sequel/canon/epilogue in that order). No matter what Roxy is, Roxy is the best.

2:18 Gnostlagic is also a real alchohol brend. 16:10 Yes, except Hiveswap, Hiveswap is 100% canon. 16:13 You are thinking too small THE BIBLE is HOMESTUCK!

[@rhymebeat1142]

I think the end conversation about dubious canonicity is rather fitting for Roxy. Void is the aspect of, among other things, doubt. The fact that Roxy's gender identity is in flux is a product of the same idea. How can one be certain of anything, even their own identity?

[@valthepal4065]

no one: me as soon as jen posted this video: N Y O O M

[@philippelizotte3760]

10:52 This isn't just a reference to c++; void is a very common keyword present in most programming languages, usually used for functions that don't return anything ("public void function()" doesn't cough up any variables, while "public integer function()" gives you an integer to play around with).

[@DrTimes99]

Roxy was always my favorite kid and the sequelitis done her dirty.

[@nsane9998]

Okay so, hear me out here. Could void players hypothetically become stronger than every other possible type of player with enough effort due to the whole "making stuff from nothing" power they've got? Is that power limited to just items? Because if not, a void player could hypothetically come to understand how other classpect powers work in the game and manifest those powers via just making them appear. Even if those powers aren't personally retained, imagine a void player just spawning in a dangerous wind pattern from a breath player, or even the beam thing heart players use to rip out souls. Lets take it a step farther and say they could theoretically spawn entire concepts for themselves, like narrative power? Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm sure there's something in Homestuck that shoots this down lol.

[@Thorn773]

Well, the "making stuff" seems to be specifically for the Rogue of Void, stealing the nothingness from things to make them real. You do bring up an interesting point though, and a Seer or a Mage of Void likely could gain those understandings through their aspect and class abilities. They would certainly have to be God Tier, and likely a master of their classpect even beyond that. Theoretically though...

[@thumbsup8985]

Conceivably, a prince of void could to the same thing by destroying the nonexistence of said items.

[@dexxus8078]

Pretty sure that Lord of Hope is outright the most powerful possible classpect.

[@darkpince1310]

VIDEO ABOUT BEAT GIRL!!! LET'S GOOO!!!

wha

[@june9914]

‘Is homestuck the bible?’ I mean it is an 8 thousand page long creation story so I guess it is

[@DefinitelyNautBenjamin]

Beautiful cosplya *cospaly *cosplay

[@jt0n]

you said olimar helps the pikmin increase their numbers, that might be a reference to how roxy creates a matriorb for kanaya to restart the troll race.

[@ericquiabazza2608]

Yea, for me Hiveswap is "Possibly canon", and how Friendsim and Hauntswitch are very connected, it also will share this when they ascertain each other, as we know they are all incomplete now, making them "Non-canon" for the moment. The Epilogues are "Possibly Canon" too, as they are in part supported by direct Canon but also go in such a wild enterprise that loss connection, as it itself explain. But anything out from them like: H^2, Pesterques or other Sims that have already come out are Definitely non canon, as they are sequels to something doubtful and thus loss even more relevancy

[@absent612]

PIKMIN GANG LET'S GOOOOOO

[@robertsmithfan877]

ur forgetting roxy was too drunk to ever make food for rose! but yes she was a great parent who never did anything wrong

Isn’t it ironic that Roxy the riflekind user probably had constant double vision back on Earth?

[@8bitalien647]

dang roxy was always my favorite alpha but learning she liked pikmin makes me like her even more

[@PentacleArtist]

I'm thinking if Roxy knew she needed to do whatever Jake wasn't doing because she probably saw how it affected Joey and Jude.

One funny thing is that Roxy's mom keeps buckets all around the house. . .

[@kiapor99]

Fascinating video! Well done. :) Commenting to help the algorithm.

[@matheusm.santana6527]

One thing that will never not be funny is that the term "canonically" comes from bible discussion, amd it got adopted by fandoms to the point that very few people who use "canon/canonically" don't know it was used to discuss bible interpretatipns and "fanfiction"

[@xmascritter2383]

This video was very good, and Im extremely excited to see rose's video

[@coda1665]

i love that the symbol for fistkind is the black power fist

[@jensenw4982]

Also, little side note. So in Homestuck all of the characters have there chum handles and the shortened version of those handles right? Ok well there's a trend in the handles of the human kids (and a little bit in the trolls tho it's not a strong trend) all of the girls have double letters (tt- rose, gg- jade/ Jane) and the boys have different letters (GT/ EB- John, TG- Dave, GT Jake). This trend is true for all human kids, except for Dirk and Roxy, TT- Dirk, TG- Roxy. The theory is that double letters doesn't mean girl it means AFAB (assigned female at birth). And different letters doesn't mean boy it means AMAB (assigned male at birth). HENCEFORTH Dirk and Roxy are trans. Also, double letters is xx chromosomes and different is xy chromosomes. This makes perfect sense considering that all the kids handles are also linked to dna in some way or another. (Don't ask me how just look on the wiki page, I'm sorry I don't know biology) Although it is worth noting that the trend does appear in the trolls in that the only ones with double letters arer girls. Though it would make sense for the trolls to not follow the trend so much because they don't have strictly male/female biology like humans. Is this the best way to show characters as trans? No, but it is one way to do it and it feels very in line w Homestucks way of doing things Just something I felt like adding.

[@jameslamberton7671]

14:40 it does Make sense that they would get together and have a child in candy timeline, even if it was only for a short while.

[@knate44]

Jen, I love you, but technically the council of Nicea was about the Aryan Heresy, not the canonicicty of various Bible books. It is most likely that the books of the Bible were agreed upon in a more naturalistic way as various church groups interacted and found out which were the most popular. Also I 10/10 recommend Religion for Breakfast here on KZbin who I am mostly parroting from, he is an actual religious scholar and I have learned much about my own faith from him.

[@malekartorian3054]

I'll say it Best girl

Roxy: hey sorry i killt ur cat heres it back

[@gil_and_homestuck_official]

Nice talking, buddy!!! :)

[@Malowith]

The situation with the canonosity of the PS comics is typically referred to as a 'B Canon' whereas the original webcomic would be 'A Canon'. B canon works in any continuity are typically considered canon until proven otherwise, though there is no issue in excluding them from your headcanon. The terminology expands, by the way, with C Canons, D Canons, and more being possible, each yielding to the one above. With Homestuck's track record, it's no surprise there's, like, at least 4 different B Canons.

Where did you get your Roxy necklace? It's so cute!

[@gunjfur8633]

Can't wait for Rose

[@Thorn773]

Huh, speaking of the XY in Roxy's name *SPOILER WARNING* Epilogue and HS2 minor spoiler I wonder if that might have been foreshadowing the fact that Roxy is trans (or non-binary, I'm not exactly sure which). I think it'd be neat if so!

[@williamcoleman496]

Yep wish she covered this.

[@lordbuss]

Ironically, it's a self-fulfilling/defying prophecy.

[@leviathantb4014]

it was because of this that a lot of people (including me) viewed her as a trans girl for YEARS and then the epilogue ruined things as usual OTL

[@lordbuss]

@@leviathantb4014 I think the though process was: "Hey, there is a head-canon that Roxy is trans. Let's fulfill it! Who wants to write it? Okay, you would write it. Go!" So essentially, it is a self-defying prophecy - because too much people believed that Roxy a trans girl and too much people talked about it, seeing Roxy as a trans girl is even harder than just continuing to see her as cis.

[@wotrudoin6023]

@PsychicSkitty It really wasn't. If anything, Hussie saw people discuss this and thought, "You know what? Fuck it." and threw it in to see how everyone would either lap it up or reject it.

[@benzur3503]
