The Beforus Ancestors

honestly, i didnt like how the drawings turned out. i searched for references for the ancestors but i didnt manage to draw them the way i wanted to. most of the designs are okay, though i still feel like some of them are missing something, like colors.

more info abt them ↓

The Treasure Huntress (aka. Beforan Aradia) She was a very skilled adventurer and loved finding historic artifacts. She had a special taste for East Beforan art and culture. During her adventures, she met a violetblooded sea dweller who also had a fascination for history and dedicated his life to study and learn more about it. Together, they traveled along each other with the goal of learning more about the history of their planet, and eventually, they developed feelings for each other. However, the warmblooded girl was pale, while the coolblooded boy was red. The unspoken tension between each other lead to a fight, which ended in surprise on both sides over the admittance of feelings. Not wanting to disappoint each other, they agreed to just stay friends.

The Guardian (Beforan Tavros) He he stood up for the rights of trolls in special needs, and by that, he was also heavily against culling (as in the Beforan meaning of culling), saying that nobody should be treated that way (as helpless and fragile, making them too dependant) and by doing that, they would be "hiding the truth of the world from the children" by basically being way too overprotective. He was a farm boy, living in the country sides with his moirail, who mainly took care of the stables. Their farm was open to public visits, and one day, a certain coolblooded visitor has caught his attention. He wished to re-encounter with the man someday. One day, he has suffered a very sudden mutation that made him sprout wings, with him finally being able to realize his dream of traveling the world to spread the word about the dangers of culling and the rights of trolls in special needs.

(please correct me if I got the wrong meaning of Beforan culling, as I will talk about it again)

Radiical Psygamer (Beforan Sollux) He was, perhaps, the greatest programmer that Beforus has ever seen. With his magnificent skills, he was responsible for massively improving trolls’ technology and has contributed to the creation of a few robots and helped with the coding of various popular games. He was, however, a terrible teacher, given his introversion and general social awkwardness. He was a big figure in the world of console games and was the first to actively encourage girls to play games too.

The Unculled (Beforan Karkat) Because of his rare candy red blood, no lusus wanted to raise him, leaving him there all alone. One day, he was found by a purpleblooded man who took him to his hive in hopes that someone would pick him. They waited, and waited, and waited… but no lusus came. Tired of waiting, the big troll decided to raise the grub himself. Because of his caretaker, the mutantblooded grew up to be loud, tough and intimidating, but had a big, friendly heart and cared for his loved ones a lot.

Sharpeye Furrline (Beforan Nepeta) She was a very skilled huntress. According to herself, she only killed what she ate, and if she didn’t eat, killing them would be mean. She could hunt creatures from a very small size to ones that were the double of her own. One day, while hunting for her dinner, she has killed a creature that was going to become a Lusus of a small wriggler. Therefore, she has accidentally unlocked the rage of a coolblooded troll. Terrified, she knew she couldn’t fight back, so she ran as fast as she could, far away from that beach. No one knows what happened to her.

The Seamstress (Beforan Kanaya) A rare jadeblood with a rare taste for fashion. She became known for her dresses with odd patterns, inspired by the landscapes around her. She also traveled in search of different sights and, consequently, more ideas for dresses. Her works have eventually caught the attention of the Empress, who offered her a job as her official seamstress.

The Attorney (Beforan Terezi) She was a blind woman who did not allow her disability to hold her back. She fought back against Beforus’ culling policy and became a excellent lawyer. Dedicating herself to fight against crime and bring justice to maintain the order and peacefulness of her planet, she chased a mischievous pirate lady who seemed to cause trouble everywhere she passed. She was The Unculled’s matesprit.

Arachnid Cap8tain (Beforan Vriska) A troublemaker who caused mischief together with her pirate crew. She considered The Attorney her rival, as she was the only one who insisted in chasing her and never gave up on her quest to capture the spider pirate. A completely platonic rivalry. She held a special interest for snooker and said that the Ball 8 was actually “her lucky ball”.

The Horseman (Beforan Equius) A STRONG man who really liked horses. He lived in a farm with his moirail and was responsible for taking care of the stables. Because of his interest, they ended up having way too many horses, which resulted in them having to build a larger stable for all of them. He loved every single one of them and took great care of each one. He said he occasionally had dreams where he was half a man and half a horse (basically a centaur), which is the origin of his title.

The Clownish Caretaker (Beforan Gamzee) He rescued lususless grubs and wrigglers with an absent lusus and took care of them temporarily, until a new lusus came to become their official guardian. Despite being tall, lanky and overall intimidating, he was a very sweet and cheerful man, and loved entertaining others. Just like others, he was also heavily against culling and said that “every motherfucker should know and be able to defend themselves.” One day, a lusus was coming to his hive to pick up a grub, but it was killed by Shapeye Furrline. The man never felt so much rage before. The pure platonic hate he held towards the woman was bigger than the amount of hate he thought he could feel. Despite that, and contrary to popular belief, he did not chase the lady and took him quite some time to calm down. He was responsible for raising The Unculled and made sure to treat him properly.

The Historian (Beforan Eridan) A seadweller with a huge fascination for history, he dedicated his life to learn more about the mysteries of his world. He read diares and looked for accurate informations, instead of believing in telltale stories. He studied ancient walls and occasionally collected some artifacts, purely for research reasons, and that’s when he met The Treasure Huntress. They decided to travel together, and it did not take long for him to become flushed for her. Unfortunately, she did not return the feelings, instead being pale for him. They agreed to stay friends, but very deep inside, he was still a bit disappointed.

Her Glorious Imperialist (Beforan Feferi) The ruler of Beforus. She was a very kind and sweet woman, undoubtedly one of the best rules Beforus has ever seen. She treated her people with fairness, yet despise that, she was pro-culling, saying that some should not face the dangers of the world. After offering a job for The Seamstress, she and the jadeblood grew close. Despite being the one in charge of the planet, she decided to take care of Arachnid Cap8tain herself, and being a seadweller, it wasn’t hard to find her. She still congratulated The Attorney for her efforts in chasing the troublemaker pirate.

[completelyandtotalyuneventful]

Since the general pattern for Humanstuck aus is to make the beta trolls the younger siblings, the dancestors the older siblings, and the alternian ancestors the parents, I think we should start making the beforus ancestors the grandparents.

Beforus Feferi : I think that all poor people should be adopted by rich people like dogs :) that will solve poverty :)

Meenah : ok grandma let’s get you back to bed

Then they can start having ancient family beef with one another. Karkat’s grandpa hates Feferi’s grandma, Karkat’s dad hates Feferi’s mom, and Meenah hates Kankri, so every time Karkat and Feferi hang out or invite each other to the others birthday party it’s always suuuper awkward. Meanwhile most of the Captors and the Amporas hate each other but their respective grandpas are best friends and hang out all the time so they’re always forced into awkward friend reunions and family dinners with them.

Idk I feel like we could have more fun with the beforus ancestors if we wanted to.

Not to be that guy but the amount and frequency in which Mituna employs slurs is so vastly overstated in fanon that it's kind of hilarious. I've seen people assert him as being a bigot as well when we genuinely don't have evidence for that. Just because he's a 4Channer doesn't mean he's a /pol/ dweller. We know for a fact that he isn't a /pol/ dweller, because he's literally based on /co/.

Just to fact check a little: We have seen Mituna say One (1) slur, once. Not only was it a fictional slur, but it is literally just the troll equivalent of "cracker". This is made painfully obvious by... Kankri's entire explanation of the word "Wader".

"Wader" is a slur against people who have the most systemic power in Beforan society- the Violets and Fuchsias- and lower caste Trolls who contribute heavily to furthering this oppressive power structure. Higher caste Trolls on Beforus see themselves as genuinely higher beings and more human than the lower castes, mutants, and the disabled. They essentially "adopt" them the way one would adopt a pet, and forcibly strip all autonomy and humanity away from them, reducing them to simultaneously a helpless child, a trainable pet, and a trophy signifying their own good will and status. This is how their Culling system works- those Trolls that are "adopted" by an able-bodied higher caste Troll have absolutely zero say in the process. It's forced upon them against their will. It's a fucking nightmare.

Like... You know what? I think the canonical mutant disabled lowblood has every right to say that, actually. I think the guy at the absolute bottom of the food chain as far as Culling goes has every right to employ a slur specifically against the same people that want to reduce him to something less than human, if not less than an animal.

#dont ever immediately believe kankri when he says that something someone did/said is bad politically. #read what hes saying just a bit closer. whats he actually saying? #homestuck #homestuck meta #homestuck analysis #alpha trolls #beforan trolls #dancestors #beforus #mituna captor #meenah peixes #kankri vantas #cw dehumanization #beforus.pdf #mituna.pdf #mituna.prtsc #meenah.prtsc #kankri.prtsc #nekro.pdf #nekro.txt

So I hear you all on Beforan/Alpha Karkat being a gritty and cool revolutionary,

but

can I sell you on “Karkat Vantas, famous novel and movie reviewer”. Like can you imagine reading a Beforan history book and it’s like

The rivalry between Her Imperiousness and Karkat Vantas was intense. Vantas (better known by his channel handle The Critical) was known for his ability to sway others through words. His most subversive video essay, a piece dissecting a biopic of the Empress which eventually led to great social reform, was known as the Great Screenrant. The Empress would forever more be hounded by the video, formally titled “Everything wrong with Her Imperious Diffidence”.

Henceforth, certain movie tropes were forever known on Beforus as ‘Cinemasins’.

Depictions of Vantas today are often drawn in the style he preferred, arms crossed as he was loudly elucidating a point. Many dress up as him on the anniversary of the Great Screenrant’s upload, adopting their own “rantsonas”.

Kankri: I wanna 6e just like this guy

The Unchained

Had to draw this after a friend shared the idea of beforus ancestor gamzee having been like a reverse signless/summoner or been locked away at one point like his sburb counterpart.
