How long did it take you to come up with and write up all of this lore?
(Also it's beautiful I love lore and I think this should be canon.)

Do you have the symbols for your aspects, particularly Rain?
Any thoughts on what the God-Tier outfits for your titles look like?
Is there going to be a Law chapter? Because I just made up a bunch of Law ability names and I hope none of them contradict anything.
(Seconding BS)

How long did it take you to come up with and write up all of this lore? About two months. This answer creates the false impression that I prepared lore meticulously like a scholar. Ha ha. What it actually was like: I wrote and doodled scraps about Sburb until it built a little tower of paper pages next to my bed. It helped me go to sleep. Then it spilled into a huge document on my deskop and I was like " There's nothing to do with this, Hussie is going to explain everything about Sburb in the next update or something". So I put it aside and sat on it for a month. In the end, I started writing stuff in November and I actually shaped something that would be a fic in February. I devised a preface and introduction and I wrote and rewrote them 500 times. Then I looked up HTML code and tested what AO3 custom skins could do (it made my face sparkle). I worked out a Table of Content that made me feel confident to debut an actual fanfic. I had about five chapters planned. The rest was "make up stuff if you still care". I guess I did.

Do you have the symbols for your aspects, particularly Rain? I doodled some symbols in mspaint. i.imgur.com/PQ5nt.jpg?1They are terrible and none of them are fic-canon. If anybody who claims a fan-aspect wants to propose a symbol, he/she is free to do so. Shit might just get real. Any thoughts on what the God-Tier outfits for your titles look like? The Bane outfit has doggy ears on the hood and the Muse outfit shows the belly button. Is there going to be a Law chapter? Because I just made up a bunch of Law ability names and I hope none of them contradict anything. I don't know? I actually don't. It's too far ahead. I mentioned earlier that I stuck with the plan "write up something when you get there". It's still in motion. I keep 3-4 chapters planned ahead and anything else is lost in the haze of "I refuse to think about it". Law is somewhere in there. I want to focus on the immediate chapters ahead. Once I churn them out, I plan the next thing. That way I don't lose motivation. I'm weird like that. But hey it worked for 50 chapters so far. Law should get written eventually, but I can't promise it.

I love the "comments" on those symbols.

How long does the average session run? 8 months This is vaguely the length that I had in mind when I started the fic. It's a weird detail that I don't insist upon. I mean I guess there are people who insist on their lore and headcanons? I don't. You can think 4 months if you want, or 4 weeks. Personally I just grabbed unto the idea that the trolls are part of a race engineered to speedrun through Sburb - and miss all the growing up experience. That way they would reach the ultimate reward while still being immature. They ushered the Reckoning earlier, carelessly produced a cancerous world and thus created the birth scenario for Lord English. Haa haa hee hee haa hee hoo hoo. So the trolls won Sburb under one month, but normal people aren't trolls. Also they didn't do shit for their Land. Exploring a planet inside out would take a lotta time. In my head, like, 6 months out of 8 is just doing the main Land Quest. I don't have any headcanon for the time spent on a session by people who actually know how the game works. It's kinda specific to the circumstances. Also, sessions where nothing happen isn't the norm. I figure that most sessions have bugs that shorten/obliterate stuff.

Are you going to write more about Scratching? And maybe how to escape from a Pre-scratched session to a Post-scratched?

I don't have any plan to write about scratching for the moment. It is a situation where you're on your own, buddy.

How do you think Bards and Princes of Breath work? Bard and Prince are the classes of destruction, and breath is the aspect of destruction; they would translate as "destroyer of destruction". How does that even work?

The title is a vocation and the aspect is the tool you work with. A Bard or Prince of Breath would end things with destructive wind powers. It's not redundant, it's straightforward.
I based the interpretation of titles/aspects of this AU on what UU said about them. She explained to Dirk that a Prince of Heart is someone that destroys souls or destroys through souls. That's two different things. That is alarmingly weird. However, UU implies that the mythological role could mean both. From this I infer that Dirk's control over "Heart" is malleable, but his job as a Destroyer is not.
This premise, that the aspect is malleable but the title isn't, makes it possible to imagine what a Bard of Breath would do. Take Gamzee and imagine that he acted the same but he blasted people with wind instead of going angry and clubbing them. Okay a few details would be different but you get the idea: same end, different tools.
As another example of what I mean, take John Egbert. He has control over destruction but that's only his tool. His used destruction for positive ends. He created a typhoon that stopped a firestorm from ravaging his Land. He drilled through Skaia to reach an important item. He destroyed hordes of monsters in order to perform the scratch. Those are all useful things that he did with a tool of mass destruction while inheriting new responsibilities.
Oops I talked a lot.

All right. I'm writing a certain fanfiction and need a bit of clarification on some points. - What in the name of Hussie does a Thief of Void do? He chose this one himself. - Does killing/kiss-resurrection clear Angel corruption as well as Other corruption? - Is there a chapter on Rain coming up? One of the many music people seems to like that characterization for some reason.

- What in the name of Hussie does a Thief of Void do? He chose this one himself. Similar to what Roxy does: stealing things using void-related themes, but more self-centered. The Title's specialty is pretty much to be an invisible thief. In terms of action, anything that is related to theft and void is boosted. It could receive a hefty class bonus from stealing something that is related to Void, like stealing DD's void RING OF ORBS NOFOLD. Void also means "hiding knowledge", a thief would displace this advantage. If somebody tries to use concealing tactics, the thief of void would know how to reverse the table, revealing the person and become elusive oneself. Ya, I think it should. I don't foresee more specific chapters on Rain. I think I already explained my fan aspects a good bunch and I don't want them to become too heavy.
