Well, as a thought, perhaps the direct references and use of Homestuck characters (i.e. the Condesce, the Sufferer, etc.) could be effectively scrapped and receive "replacements" if they are important. I mean, I don't want to intrude on any established canon things or berate Homestuck as a thing, but in the past we have been working to make characters and concepts and things more original in a sense (Grodus -> Poxten, retconning ponies, etc.), and things like this seem like a logical movement

Now, I'm not saying that Homestuck-related ideas are of the same quality or wish for removal as those other things I used for examples. I'm also not saying that we have to do any grand retcon of S___B stuff or Alternia or Trolls or anything else-- this stuff can all stay effectively the same, though without taking direct basis or influence from Homestuck; having the stories function as if Homestuck doesn't matter or doesn't effect it, or doesn't exist. I'm not sure exactly how to put this, but... the general HS community is flexible enough that the only things that a differentiation would be preferable to a change would be the inclusion of events and characters stemming from Homestuck-- being the trolls playing SGRUB and the ancestors. The former thing mentioned was inconsequential, and the latter may seem like an issue, but I assure you, this actually gives more freedom to us as a canon

Specifically because this is universe A3, events here can be drastically different from A2, thus providing a lot of room for, say, important roles player ancestors, any unspecified/impossible event for A2 being canonical for A3 if wished, and identifiable and preferred cultural differences for establishing the setup for characters. The Condesce can easily be replaced in the sense of being a fuschia-blooded troll who holds the traits and design of whatever you want it to be who may be called the Empress or whatever other title similar to something used by HIC that isn't exactly the name/s used for her in HS

I know it might seem like this is kind of a stretch as a suggestion for this but tbh I've kind of considered the thought that we could remove some elements of HS from canon since we started doing it with MLP stuff so that's where this came from

Bluh
