The fandom had a scare after the excitement over Hiveswap finally releasing revolving around the possibility What Pumpkin would go silent and the next chapter would end up in another Troubled Production.
In Hiveswap, the game is giving characters time to talk about their world and descriptions to numerous objects that flesh out the planet's society. One criticism from a camp of Homestuck readers is that due to Homestuck being a very character-driven comic, there was little to no worldbuilding given to Alternia beyond the basics.Justified, in that on Alternia, everyone is Conditioned to Accept Horror. Angst? What Angst?: Xefros seems pretty chill when explaining how Alternia's caste system works to Joey, albeit he's probably in shock due to the rubble falling on him.Is he really a Bastard Moirail to Xefros who manipulates a troll with a massive inferiority complex into being essentially his slave under the pretense of being his Moirail, or does he have Xefros' best intentions at heart and a combination of his absolutely horrid interpersonal skills and rampaging (and totally justified) paranoia keep him from realizing how bad his actions really are? Until we actually get to learn more about him in Hauntswitch, we just don't know. Dammek's character being inferred through other people describing him and his actions make him a prime target for this.Even if Amisia is a murderous discriminator against lowbloods, she has a youthful appearance and cute expressions.Aside from his design, Diemen's socially awkward yet kind-hearted mannerisms in Friendsim throws him right into this category.Especially when he finally beats his sport based lock for his Lusus' sloth treats. Given how massively insecure but excitable and friendly Xefros is, it's little wonder he comes across like this.
