#askapalooza

((hey, here’s a bunch of asks to be answered! honestly the first bunch is a lot of really amazing and sweet asks that are just nice words so feel free to skip those if you want, and theres a bunch more asks i have left too but i plan on using them for later.))

(Skaia) Happy 4/13 everyone!

I know I could drag this on for another MONTH at least, but let’s just blow it all out of the way with one big post for all the “relativity” asks since Nora got around to answering the above Ask and that covers all the rest, even the ones she hasn’t seen yet. So in order:

Well, yes, to /other people/ you’re going faster, but your own perception of it is lengthened; that’s why going faster than light would mean time travel.

sanctferum said to nora-reads-homestuck:

IIRC Hussie explained the “science” behind the three years somewhere. tl;dr he was aware that it didn’t make scientific sense, or only made scientific sense in reverse, or something like that, but fuck it, he went with 3 years anyways for narrative purposes? something like that

acamaeda said to nora-reads-homestuck:

The 3 nanoseconds/3 years thing might just be because Hussie is allowed to fuck with them in that one yard.

megazaprat said to nora-reads-homestuck:

I am going to blame the light speed weirdness as it existing in Hussie’s dimension, and Hussie not doing the mat properly

get-thee-to-a-shrubbery said to nora-reads-homestuck:

there’s a really good metareason for the time dilation being reversed, but one good reason is “thats just how things work in Hussiespace (where the kids are now)”

borktastic said to nora-reads-homestuck:

Hussie was asked about (and answered) the speed of light question in a tumblr ask, archived at mspaintadventureswiki*tumblr*com/post/63809439957/mad-answerins-archive. It’s pretty long, but I recommend you give it a read. (It was posted December 14 2011, which is past where you are in the comic right now.) (Skaia: Nora never saw this question because I’m lumping it with the rest and there’s too much for her to go through already (and the other link was edited for Nora’s viewing that she already saw), but the Heart Powers answer made me sad and laugh again.)

Remember that speed (and possibly by relation time) are relative. Its one of Einstein’s theorems or something. Source: recent portal episode of game theory

elmach said to nora-reads-homestuck:

The idea behind “being tiny makes you see the world slower” is that since they see distances larger (because they are smaller), they should see time as longer as well, to the same proportion (to keep their measurement of c to be the same as an unshrunken observer); a few other stories rely on this idea. However, for this to apply, the ship would be about the size of an atomic nucleus, so this is a moot point. (Skaia: Nora…never saw this Ask, which is amusing considering her answer below.)

(Skaia) Okay, I think that’s all of them!

(Past!Skaia to Nora) It’s clean. And finally a solid Word of God answer to all these time-dilation questions! (And a really good one at that.) Thanks for finding this!

Headcannon A: Yangs a pretty good cook. She’s not some 5 star chef building fancy fancy versions of meals but she can follow recipes just fine.

Headcannon B: Yang absolutely is aware of Blake’s bad romance/porn book collection and periodically goes through to move/rearrange them just to watch blake flip out wondering *who knows*

Headcannon C: Yang has a special box she keeps keepsakes from Summer in. Its all little things like ribbons Summer would tie her hair in and photo booth pictures because Summer worked *so hard* to make sure Yang didn’t feel replaced/threatened by Ruby and always made a point to introduce Yang as “my daughter” and not  step-daughter etc.

yES! *CRACKS KNUCKLES*

Headcannon A: Waverly learned Esperanto just cause she could.

Headcannon B: Waverly is absolutely 100% the national champion at cupstacking. 

Headcannon C: Waverly is the one who looks the most like their mother and is probably why she was Ward’s unfavorite the fucker.
