Tag: Xefros

Here’s to the start of a new series! Hiveswap Lore will run concurrently  with Homestuck: Explained, and will be aimed at covering various parts  of Hiveswap’s deep story that you might not glean from one or two playthroughs.

We start by covering Xefros Tritoh, as we explore how he  affects others, and how the roles forced onto him by Alternian society affects his state of mind!

Full disclosure: This is a reading I’ve developed through my own research, so I could well be getting some things wrong! If anything I say here is disproven, I’ll definitely raise the subject again in future videos.
We’ll be talking about Xefros’ (and others) Classpects again as more Acts come out regardless.

Strong Female Characters from “Hark, A Vagrant” by Kate Beaton http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php…

A thought occurs regarding Xefros’s Rage alignment. Could it be possible that Dammek’s behavior(general paranoia and a desire for destruction of authority/anarchy) is a result of Xefros’s Page of Rage status? Could it be that his desire to protect Xefros is so powerful, and that he is so saturated in Rage, that it has made him unstable and destructive?

Maybe to some extent. I do think Dammek is in an unhealthy state of mind, for sure. We won’t be able to say for sure where he’s involved until Hauntswitch lets us get into his head, though, I think. 

Taz I was thinking that while you are right to point out the butlering stuff that Xefros has I feel that it is misguided to presume it is an actual interest of his. As far as we understand that could be what he is being groomed to be rather than an actual interest. In addition, the first song we heard by The Grubbles seems a pointed opposition to it. Just my two cents here dude.

I agree that’s the likeliest scenario! It’s why I felt it necessary to explain how Roleplay works.

It’s possible Xefros’ interest in butlering is something he can develop healthily, and if so I’d expect the game to treat him as a Knight or Page in some way. As in, those would actually just be his class.

But it’s more likely, from what I’ve seen so far, that the butlering motif is something his growth is at odds with. If that’s the case, then while the butler motif may show up to begin with–probably with some links to Knights in particular–I expect he’ll later discard it as he overcomes that struggle and grows as a character. 

It’s likely that at that point the game will also be showing us hints as to his true Class/where Xefros’ talents lie strongest.

So it could go either way currently, though I definitely think the second route is likelier.
