* [[Ancient Conspiracy]]: All of the Human Guardians, save Dad (who is [[Locked Out of the Loop]]), are tied into massive unknown conspiracies. While for Post-Scratch Bro Strider and Mom Lalonde, it takes the form of being [[La Résistance]], for the Pre-Scratch Mom Lalonde and Bro Strider, they're suggested to have outright created Sburb.

* [[Dropped a Bridge on Him]]: Almost all of them are killed offscreen.

* [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]]: It looks like intially the Beta guardians are off working on some mysterious plan to stop Noir. This is never resolved as they get killed off midway through it.

 

 

[[File:Dad_homestuck_6025.png|frame]]

* [[Private Detective]]/[[Vigilante Man]]: He had a short-lived stint as a private eye.

{{quote|It turns out the police aren't as grateful as you'd think when ordinary citizens go around roughing up a lot of crooks. }}

* [[Properly Paranoid]]: As the end of Act 6 Part 1 shows, he really did have a point putting a refrigerator in front of the door to keep Jane inside.

 

* [[Kitsch Collection]]: Like Mr. Egbert, only her house is filled with artwork of wizards rather than <s>clowns</s> [[Insistent Terminology|"harlequins".]]

* [[Lady Drunk]]: Is always shown with a gin martini in one hand, and it's implied she's an alcoholic.

** [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002885 This is what happens] when Rose discovers that what she previously believed to be her mother's room is, in fact, a bar.

* [[Mad Scientist]]: The passage underneath Jaspers' mausoleum leads to a gigantic underground laboratory that houses cloning machines, among other weird devices. There is another passage that leads up to Mom's bedroom (or what Rose thought was Mom's bedroom), so she's clearly in on it.

* [[Cool Shades]]: '''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Kamina]]''' [[Triangle Shades|shades]], to be precise. John's referring to them as "dumb anime shades" seems to confirm this is deliberate.

** [[Word of God]] says that it wasn't deliberate at first, but was [[Sure Why Not|made a retroactive reference]] once his forum-goers asked him about it and brought Kamina to his attention.

** Or [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002771 this one] even moreso. He moves so fast that Dave, who is pretty fast himself, winds up actually fighting ''Bro's afterimage.''

* [[Crazy Prepared]]: He carried around a baby-sized copy of his own [[Cool Shades]] for the day when Dave would come hurtling out of the sky in a meteor and destroy his favorite record shop.

He also played the role of Judge Stone in the Alpha universe's version of ''[[Night Court]]''.

** Dirk at least suggests he was just simply a really nice guy

* [[Anime Hair]]: Just look at the picture.

{{quote|[[Punny Name|GL'BGOLYB]], a deep sea monster also known as THE RIFT'S CARBUNCLE, EMISSARY TO THE HORRORTERRORS, or in more hushed tones, SPEAKER OF THE VAST GLUB. }}

* [[Kraken and Leviathan]]: Feferi's lusus is reminiscent of certain giant sea monsters.

* [[Mercy Kill]]: Vriska puts her dying, trapped spider lusus out of its misery.

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Gamzee's lusus was widly assumed by the Trolls and Gamzee himself to be kind of a lazy idiot. However, his neglect and letting Gamzee eat his slime pies led to Gamzee living a more normal and happier life as opposed to subjuggulating everyone.

* [[Olympus Mons]]: [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004341 Gl'bgolyb]; it's not really clear if she's an actual Horrorterror or just one of their representatives capable of releasing a [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004364 psychic shockwave] capable of wiping out every troll in the universe (except for the Condesce and Feferi, who share her blood colour and have a natural [[Psychic Block Defense]] against it).

* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: Terezi's lusus is a blind dragon that communicates telepathically, "sees" through smell and taste (which it taught Terezi how to do), spends it childhood in a giant egg, and hatches from it fully grown.

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Gamzee's lusus can be safely assumed to have not been there ''at all'' for Gamzee's entire life. [[Tear Jerker|And yet, he still goes outside every night to keep an eye out for him.]]

* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: The pre-Scratch trolls got screwed.

* [[Beast of Battle]]: Redglare's dragon lusus, Pyralspite.

** The Condesce is decked out in so much bling she has more than every other character in the story combined and then some.

* [[Bolivian Army Ending]]: Redglare was last seen in the middle of an angry mob of lowbloods.

** Neophyte Redglare, who either didn't know about or severely underestimated Spinneret Mindfang's powers. Mindfang mind-controlled an entire stadium of lowbloods into lynching her, hence why she never got past "neophyte."

** The Sufferer was tortured, flogged, ''shackled with red-hot irons'' and shot with arrows before he died.

* [[Crystal Dragon Jesus]]: The Sufferer. [[Promotion to Parent|The Dolorosa]] was almost literally the Virgin Mary. The Disciple has a lot of traits of the Apostles mixed with Mary Magdalene.

* [[Cult]]: Following the Sufferer's execution, his followers -- including Redglare -- were reduced to being little more than a secret cult carrying on his beliefs and teachings on the down-low. Eventually even that faded away into little more than superstition, but they managed to make sure Karkat would have a lusus and a sign so he wasn't killed at birth.

** [[Insistent Terminology]]: And it is always a ''capital'' The as well.

** [[No Name Given]]: We know from Doc Scratch's narration that they ''do'' have names, with possible exception to The Handmaid. Based on the Pre-Scratch Trolls (and if patterns shown with John and Jade hold true), Mindfang's name would be Aranea and the Condesce's Meenah.

* [[Sure Why Not]]: The slave girl who is assassinated by Dualscar ends up being the Dolorosa having since been sold into slavery, probably mostly because fans speculated that Kanaya's ancestor was said slave.

* [[Team Mom]]: The Dolorosa, the Sufferer's adopted lusus.

* [[Unreliable Narrator]]: Maybe. While Word of God states that anything a troll says about their history and biology is true unless otherwise noted, we're getting this information from [[Glory Hound|Vriska's]] ancestor/clone; then again, Mindfang is less "[[Large Ham|dramaaaaaaaatic]]" than Vriska. Later on further information is revealed by Doc Scratch, who is unreliable [[Half Truth|in his own way]].

** Hussie (or his stand-in) further complicates matters a little by calling all this information [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005963 Doc Scratch's "troll fanfiction"] in the banner altext. On the other hand Scratch is the author of [[Darker and Edgier|post-scratch Alternia]], and Hussie pretty much hates the guy for taking over his story.

* [[Used to Be a Sweet Kid]]: The Handmaid used to be such an [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005968 adorable little grub].

* [[Victory-Guided Amnesia]]: Revealed [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005953 here]. Well, more like [[Heroic Sacrifice]] guided amnesia.
