What made you give Nepeta and Meulin a human dad instead of a troll one

Just a spur of the moment choice.

Bill is a kind and detail oriented man with a lot of patience, the perfect kind of dad for Nepeta and Meulin.

Are some of the troll parents just the ancestors but with names like Kalger is just the Sighless and Beteye is just the Condescend just to name a few of them

initially, yes, that is how I conceived them, but characterization wise, they have drifted into being their own things.

Are candy red Trolls still mutants in this timeline

Yes, in fact there are a number of "mutant" blood types in this timeline. Candy red being a mutation of the lime blood type.

Are you aware that Canton is a real place in Ohio 😭

I am now, but was not when this AU was being workshopped.

The name being a reference to Can Town in early homestuck.

The real life Canton is south of Cleveland, our Canton is just north of Columbus.

I have to ask,

Who TF is Raven

Friends OC who ended up heavily folded into the fabric of the AU during the concept stage. Roses fraternal twin sister.

A bit more warm, a bit more of a people person than Rose.

All trolls tend to have that moment of "oh" when it comes to same sex attraction.

American society in 1979 being overwhelming CompHet colliding with trolls being overwhelmingly CompBi.

Usually sometime around highschool a troll realizes "hey, those girls in my gym class are pretty fit" or "damn, didn't know that guy could move like that."

For Aranea Serket, her realization is more overt, a game of seven minutes in heaven with Roxy Lalonde leaves her spinning in delight.

it was a friday morning, july 13th 1979. for Canton, it was a typidcal friday morning in the summer. at the Egbert House, Jim Egbert grabbed the paper off the porch, and then sat down at the kitchen table to both catch up on the world and have his coffee. weather predictions, national happenings, but his eyes first sought out the sports section. John shuffled down the stairs, eyes stil not fully open. jim flipped through the newspaper "Looks like the second game of last nights double header got called off." this perked John up right away "what, really?" john said while he cut into his flapjacks. Jim passed the paper to his son.

John read aloud "Pandamonium between games as Chicago radio disk jockey Steve Dahl demonstrates a spectical of musicial ire by blowing up crate of disco records, leading to fans storming the field and causing a riot like conditions, fires lit, White Sox forfeit second game to Tigers, chicago police forced to break up crowd." Jane turned her head away from her own breakfast. "That's crazy. people blowing up disco records!". John took a gulp of Orange Juice. "waste of a perfectly good baseball game."

"Says here the explosion left a sizable crater in the outfield. I'm guessing that's why the second game was called off." Jim said, his eyebrows raised with mild incredulity. "well that's about as hollow of a win a team could get. victory by forfeit because hooligans ruined the ball park."

"And all this over a genre of music they don't like." add Leeann. "I can't imagine how Roxy is taking this. do you mind if I run down to the Lalonde house after breakfast to check on her?" Jane said. "by all means, dear." her mother granted.

On July 12th 1979, WLUP-FM DJ Steve Dahl hosted a promo event between the games of double header between the Chicago White Sox and the Detroit Tigers. As part of the promotion, game tickets where priced are 98¢ on the condition that attendees bring along a disco record to destroy.

After the first game, Steve Dahl rolled onto the field in a jeep, dressed in military fatigues with fishing lures stuck to it simulating metals. He led the crowd in a loud "Disco Sucks" chant before blowing up the crate of disco records, sending shards of vinyl into the air, after which drunken fans stormed the field, setting fires and looting from the park, this went on for a good few hours before the Chicago riot police had to come in and break things up. The second game was forfeited to the Detroit Tigers.

This sent ripples through the music (and baseball) loving citizens of Canton, Ohio on the morning of July 13th.

quick rundown on Dianes friend group

Cory Gibson- human boy who is an aspiring stuntman and can make a damn good chilidog

Teelah Lampit- gold blood troll girl who seeks to express her psionicly influenced dreams in the form of art, acrylic on canvas is her medium of choice.

Darlene Hodgee- human girl who was adopted by a troll couple and has two younger troll bothers. a poet, she sits at an interesting intersection of having a troll upbringing as a human, for what differences there are.

running link between these friends, they take their art forms seriously and wholeheartedly.

Dave has a stylophone, and it's usually one of the items he keeps on him.

Dave will often be seen experimenting with compositions of his own with that stylophone. He'll on occasion switch into familiar riffs and melodies when bored.

#au #canton 1979 #homestuck #dave strider

Diane Strider, the middle child of the Strider family. 14 years old in '79.

She's always been into the things that weren't popular. she is into the avant garde and the passe, the stuff that is three years ahead of what's popular, or stuff that hasn't been popular since her parents were young.

Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Glenn Miller, Roy Brown, John Coltrane, Louis Armstrong, and Little Richard being a regular in her rotation, and yet she had her finger on what would become new wave before it truly gripped popular music.

She's always seen with these big round sunglasses, fitting the whole Strider visual language. Ankle length skirts, patterned cardigans, her blonde hair hanging straight down to her mid back. always with the energy of a girl who gives of an air of effortless coolness.

She's always teased Dave about his respect and enjoyment of disco, and snarking about the state of popular music from time to time.

Antagonists to Canton, Ohio in order from least to most relevant.

4. Leonid Brehznev, General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The big pair of eyebrows in the Kremlin. A figure that is always there in the background of the setting, he becomes briefly relevant when the USSR invaded Afghanistan in December of '79 3. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the Iranian Revolution and the Iran Hostage Crisis still happening in this timeline, his face becoming another grand scale character who is more or less a face and name on the news to the kids. 2. Poser Hippies. the fakers, the ones who were in it for grass and ass, the ones who cleaned up in 1970 like the last 3 years meant nothing. the ones who sniffed teargas once and then spent the next decade riding that credibility to every meal and couch they could get. the Makaras and the Harleys seeing eye to eye on people who wear their lived experience as costumes. 1. Steve Dahl, The Insane Coho Lips, and the whole disco sucks movement. with Roxy and Dave both being appreciators of disco on various levels, Dave cannot help but shake his head when he reads about Disco Demolition Night, and Roxy takes it quite personally, becoming a one woman protest of Earth, Wind & Fire that afternoon.

I genuinely love this au so much

and this has genuinely made my evening, thank you!

#not au related #appreciation

The Serket family and the Egbert family regularly have card night, which means Aranea and Vriska end up hanging out with Jane, John, and Jeannie. In late 1979, we have Jeannie asking Aranea about who the guy with the eyebrows on the news was (Leonid Brehznev) Aranea starts with just who Leonid Brehznev is, then realizes she needs to provide context to how he came to power, jumping back to 1964 when Khrushchev was ousted. Then she realizes she needs to provide context for Khrushchev so she jumps back to 1953 with Stalin's death, then WW2, then the great terror, then the Russian civil war, then the Russian revolution, Czar Nicholas the 2nd, until eventually she's all the way back to the Golden Horde.

Hey Vriska how is going with asking him to the dance, did he say yes?

UUUUGGGGHHHHH I cannot believe I was agonizing over that! It took me two days of prep work to build up the guts to ask him and he responds "oh, sure!" Like I asked him to pass the salt.

*exasperated sigh* at least he said yes.

Feferi got anyone in mind to ask out for the dance

Oh glub. I mean, I have a few candidates in mind. I wanna ask Eridan, but I think Raven is gonna ask him. Glub, I think I might just go stag and see what happens.
