I do wonder if we'll be seeing the Empress fleshed out at all. Would be a shame to have her relegated to the depths of headcanon forever.

It would, in all likelihood, have to be something yet to have been introduced, as all other non-human characters are either accounted for or are unlikely to have filled the role (any hypothetical Prospit exile wouldn't have had the described personality and a Derse exile would have been too obviously inhuman in appearance for the plan to have worked).

From everything we know now, the Troll Empress is the most likely candidate, despite the unlikelihood of this entire scenario.

Well, either she's dead or she's Betty Crocker.

Or she's floating around in a spaceship full of dead trolls, wondering what the hell to do next.

Naw, in this story, you are either relevant to the plot, dead, or both.

Also, the whole point of the stories about the trolls' ancestors was to explain why the Empress decreed that all trolls except her would be sent into space upon reaching adulthood, so that she wouldn't have to worry about mind-controlling pirates and subjuggulators and red-blooded mutant rebellions all the time.

When Nanna said that Betty Crocker wasn't human, "Troll Empress" immediately came to my mind.

First: No I wasn't. I quoted some in-story evidence saying the glub would have killed her when someone (I can't even remember who now) was asking about it. You quoted Hussie saying it's possible, even likely that she survived. My response wasn't exactly what I'd call poopooing that. I just said possible doesn't mean certainly. Hell, I even threw in an edit suggesting that she might be the one behind the door.

Second: So what? Even if I came in here and said The Empress is definitely dead forever and anyone who says otherwise is stupid, why would that even matter. Hussie doesn't take his cues from me. Well, except with the Kid Chameleon thing. The update where Terezi used the Kid Chameleon boxart totally came one day after I posted the same boxart in here, and I choose to believe that he was stalking my posts and got the idea from that. Actually no, I'm changing the story. I choose to believe TEREZI was stalking my posts, and got the idea from them.

I mean, if I'm gonna be egotistical and unrealistic, I might as well cross the line to completely delusional.

Edit: Wait, ALL of us were poopooing the idea of her being alive? I thought I was the only one posting anything close to that. Did I miss another discussion?

Who would most likely be dead from Meteor impacts on Earth.

Unless...

Since the Empress's only job on Earth was to keep Nanna and Grandpa Harley separated, once her task was complete Doc Scratch brought her back to the Troll universe for safe keeping where she is locked away behind the door.

Actually, Nanna stated that, one day, the Batterwitch simply vanished mysteriously, leaving her entire baking empire to Grandpa Harley.

So I find a homestuck update, see the discussion is going well, then I turn my back for it to derail into Betty Crocker conspiracy theories.

Though admittedly it's not 100% crazy.
