Herding Cats is a Homestuck Fan Fic by childishGambino.Nepeta has completed all of her tasks in her portion of the game and goes to confront her Denizen, Psyche. Psyche declines to fight Nepeta, but offers instead to give Nepeta an important task. As the Hero of Heart, Nepeta must ship all 12 of her fellow trolls (including herself) until they each have a matesprit and a moirail. Psyche reveals that they're in a doomed timeline, but offers to keep the timeline from being destroyed like the other doomed timelines while Nepeta completes her task, and that this timeline can even exist permanently if Nepeta succeeds. Psyche has 3 conditions: 1) Nepeta must only use her heart powers to guide, not force, her fellow trolls into relationships, 2) she must tell no one why she's doing this, and 3) she must save the matespritship for herself and the boy she loves, Karkat, for last, and tell no one of her feelings for him until it's time.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })So Nepeta posts a memo she calls "The Shipping Wall". Vriska immediately shows up to mock and laugh at her attempts to ship everybody, saying Karkat would go ballistic over it. But Karkat shows up and actually approves of the idea, mainly because he's spent a week having to put up with everybody's relationship problems, and is so sick of it he's more than eager to foist the task onto Nepeta. He even orders her to ship Vriska first, mainly to keep every memo from devolving into Vriskachat.And so Nepeta starts her epic shipping quest! Hilarity Ensues! Complications arise! Trolls become pale or flushed for each other! Black rom and ashen even enter the picture!This Nepeta Quest 2012 is one of the longest Homestuck fanfics out there at 31 chapters and nearly 500,000 words. It's length is justified because while Nepeta is the main character, all 12 trolls have important roles to play, and all 12 of them will have all 4 of their quadrants filled. This means no fewer than 22 different relationships (6 moirallegiances, 6 matespritships, 6 kismesissitudes, and 4 auspistices) will be explored in this Door Stopper of a tale, with only one of them - the moirallegiance of Nepeta/Equius - stable from the start. According to the author, there were just two epilogue chapters remaining, though the story has been marked as 'completed' since 2013.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })In 2019, in response to The Homestuck Epilogues, childishGambino rebooted the story under the name Herding Cats All Over Again.All regular personality tropes for the 12 trolls apply here until they no longer do. | |

Tamer and Chaster | |

Tamer and Chaster: One of the reboot's objectives. childishGambino felt that at times the original story got a little too smutty, considering that by the end of it all of these troll kids - worth reminding that the equivalent human age is 13 - were casually talking about having sex and listing all their kinks. | |

Poor Communication Kills: Terezi gets Aradia to come to Sollux so they can reveal their flushed feelings for each other. At the same time, Feferi goes to Derse to elevate Aradia's dreamself to God Tier, bringing her fully back to life. Two good plans that result in the Aradiabot blowing up in front of Sollux driving him to attempt suicide. | |

Heterosexual Life-Partners | |
| Herding Cats / Fan Fic / int_1dfbbf31 | comment |
Heterosexual Life-Partners / Platonic Life-Partners: The moirails. We have Nepeta/Equius, Vriska/Tavros, Gamzee/Eridan, Terezi/Aradia, Sollux/Feferi and Karkat/Kanaya. The moirails of the same gender (Gamzee/Eridan, Terezi/Aradia) are HLPs, while the moirails of different genders (Nepeta/Equius, Vriska/Tavros, Sollux/Feferi, Karkat/Kanaya) are PLPs. Although most of these moirallegiances Virska/Tavros, Eridan/Gamzee, Terezi/Aradia and possibly Sollux/Feferi are crossing the line here. | |

Wrong Genre Savvy | |
| Herding Cats / Fan Fic / int_20a14df0 | comment |
Wrong Genre Savvy: After becoming Vriska's moirail, Tavros becomes more confident and assertive, but also more egotistical. He outright tells Aradia that he's the Dogged Nice Guy who fell for the Alpha Bitch (her) who constantly rejected him in favour of a Jerk Jock (Equius) who she later spurned, but after becoming a confident, handsome guy in his own right, he's over her, and she's pining after him. Everyone pitches in to tell him that in fact, he's the former Nice Guy who became a Jerkass, while Aradia's the old friend he fell for who he's now blaming for refusing to fall for him. Tavros isn't convinced, until they point out that a Nice Guy wouldn't try to blame Aradia for his spine being broken. | |

Mythology Gag: Some of the story directions from the original are mentioned in the first chapter, such as Nepeta's shipping sweeps, and Chapter 2 has Aradia straight up dump the fact that they're in a doomed timeline rather than spending half the story investigating it. | |

| Herding Cats / Fan Fic / int_310f67d2 | comment |
Unrequited Love Switcheroo: Karkat (wrongly) fears this is happening between him and Nepeta. Initially, he figured out her feelings for him, but he despised her at the time, and so did nothing about it. Now, after he's seen her take a level in badass, he's flushed for her, but fears she no longer feels the same way about him. | |

| Herding Cats / Fan Fic / int_351205d2 | comment |
Friends with Benefits: Or " 'rails with pails" as Vriska calls them. It's happened with Eridan/Gamzee, Vriska/Tavros, and Terezi/Aradia, and may or may not have already happened with Sollux/Feferi. ''->"CC: But t)(en, t)(at is )(ardly t)(e ONLY TA I've forked in t)(e past couple of days!!" As of this suggestive line in the beginning of chapter 26, it is fair to say that Sollux/Feferi is explicitly implied. In explanation, Sollux's trollian handle is twinArmageddons, and is shortened by the chat client to TA. A "TA" which Feferi has apparently forked. | |

Aliens Made Them Do It | |
| Herding Cats / Fan Fic / int_3c681ed8 | comment |
Aliens Made Them Do It: Double Subverted. Psyche's rules state that Nepeta can't force the trolls to fall in love or tell anyone that their lives are on the line. On the other hand, Nepeta knows that if she doesn't ship everyone, Psyche will allow their timeline to fall out of existence, so at the very least this trope applies to her. Seemingly played straight in Chapter 13 when Equius nearly gets Nepeta to admit her feelings for Karkat. Just as she's about to in her pesterlog she types "not the right time" in familiar pink typeface of Psyche's lines from Chapter 1. Nepeta's confusion after that suggests that at that moment, Psyche briefly possessed Nepeta to keep her from breaking one of her three conditions. It is implied that this is more of Psyche subtly telling her that this isn't the right time by nudging her response, as it shows up a lot more in chapter 26 when Karkat declares his feelings for Nepeta. | |

Loving a Shadow | |
| Herding Cats / Fan Fic / int_516f986d | comment |
Loving a Shadow: Eridan for Feferi. It also turns out this is why Sollux wouldn't commit to what his relationship was with Feferi. Sollux had been flushed for Aradia all along, but thought she was now unobtainable after she got killed and her spirit possessed a robot. Feferi, with her cheerful, friendly personality, reminded Sollux of the way Aradia used to be. So he was trying to become flushed for Feferi and become her matesprit. It wasn't working. | |

The Courtroom Index: Chapter 15 with the mock trial of Nepeta uses quite a few tropes from this index: Ambulance Chaser: Eridan tries to claim that he's the Alternian maritime equivalent, a "submarine chaser". No one buys it. Courtroom Episode: What Chapter 15 is all about. Decoy Trial: No one seriously believes that Nepeta was trying to murder Eridan as charged. They're just trying to get her to admit that she and Eridan are now kismeses. Hanging Judge: Feferi but more for the 2 rebels in the audience, Tavros and Gamzee than for Nepeta. Kangaroo Court: Tavros accuses this trial of being a "kangaram" court. Penultimate Outburst: From Tavros. Stock Legal Phrases: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you "Her Imperious Condescension"? How do you plead? I plead the fifth. Eridan makes this without knowing what it's called. Objection! Defendant is quite clearly "muskbeasting" the witness! Objection! Relevancy. Permission to treat the witness as hostile? (To which Feferi responds "This is an Alternian courtblock. You ALWAYS have permission to treat the witness as hostile!") Silence! Order in the "courtblock"! Artistic License – Law: Eagleland Osmosis: Feferi has the witnesses cross examined, which is pointed out isn't done in Alternian courts. Feferi does it anyway "because I say so!" (Also it resembles the type of trial we're familiar with.) Courtroom Antic: Accuse the Witness: Nepeta accuses Eridan of faking her bloodstains on his coat. The Perry Mason Method: How Nepeta is forced to admit she's Eridan's kismesis. Smoking Gun: Done twice against Nepeta. First, video footage of her hive shows her leaving on the night in question when she tries to claim she spent the entire night at her hive. She then changes her story, by claiming she went out to go on some game quests. Terezi then produces the video footage of her attacking Eridan. | |

Equius is a subversion. At first, he wants Nepeta to ship him with Gamzee, but that's only because Gamzee is a highblood. Equius admits he likes nothing else about Gamzee, and later becomes his kismesis. | |

Kangaroo Court: Nepeta is on trial for the attempted murder of Eridan when Tavros leaves, accusing the others of holding a "kangaram court". He's correct, but everyone else was just trying to get Nepeta to admit her caliginous feelings for Eridan, not actually prosecute her. | |

| Herding Cats / Fan Fic / int_5d414804 | comment |
Just Friends: Given the specific quadrant take. It turns out that, pre-game, Tavros was flushed for Aradia while Aradia was pale for Tavros. And even though, thanks to Nepeta, Tavros now has a matesprit and Aradia now has a moirail they're both happy with, they still have partial flushed/pale feelings for each other. It's the frustration that arises from these incompatible feelings that's one reason they are now kismesis to each other (see Took a Level in Jerkass below for the other reason). | |

This also happened in Chapter 23. The end goal of the Team Charge Reunion FLARP session was to get Tavros and Aradia to admit their black feelings, but it all happened a lot quicker than Eridan anticipated because Vriska, who was the only one Locked Out of the Loop, messed with the drops. | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Inverted. Eridan tries to pull this mostly for Karkat's sake rather than Terezi's. Played painfully straight with Aradia in regards to Sollux. And Equius to Aradia - he breaks up with her because he knew neither of them were really happy and he wanted her to be happy. | |

Off the Rails / Gone Horribly Right: Vriska's plan to get Kanaya and Feferi to admit their black feelings for each other by 'innocently' flirting with Feferi starts going wrong when Feferi works out what she's doing and starts taking it into her own hands. This also happened in Chapter 23. The end goal of the Team Charge Reunion FLARP session was to get Tavros and Aradia to admit their black feelings, but it all happened a lot quicker than Eridan anticipated because Vriska, who was the only one Locked Out of the Loop, messed with the drops. | |

Death by Sex: Sollux's eyes explode during a round of hatesex with Vriska. Subverted in that he's brought to his Quest Bed and then ascends... and then they get right back to it. Feferi accidentally kills Equius during sex because they were trying erotic asphyxiation and he didn't use the safe-word. Like Sollux, he's taken to his Quest Bed and ascends. | |

Feferi again got called out earlier for her tactics in trying to incite a pitch romance with Kanaya- she publicly declared that Kanaya has a "dysfunctional and abusive relations)(ip wit)( Vriska" in chapter 28 and Kanaya angrily calls her out in the next chapter for spreading such damaging lies about her pale relationship and for implying she's an abuser. | |

Driven to Suicide: Sollux when the Aradiabot explodes. This leads to: Goodbye, Cruel World!: Sollux says these words sarcastically, knowing it's a cliche, but still fully means it. Interrupted Suicide: Interrupted by Aradia no less! Happily Failed Suicide: Since the troll who saves Sollux from killing himself is the same person he was committing suicide for in the first place. | |

The Watson: Terezi is this to Aradia's investigation as to why this doomed timeline isn't being destroyed. Inverted to the point that Terezi/Aradia's investigation bears a closer relationship to Nero Wolfe/Archie Goodwin, where Aradia/Goodwin does all the investigating while Terezi/Nero comes up with all the solutions. Terezi even says at one point, "Elementary, my dear Megido," implying that it's Aradia who's the true Watson in this investigation. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| Herding Cats / Fan Fic / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Nepeta gives an EPIC one to Eridan on why he and Feferi were such lousy moirails and why they'd be even worse matesprits. This not only inspires Eridan to become Nepeta's kismesis, but even to start black shipping everyone else. Karkat delivers one to Vriska at the start. More recently, Tavros gave one to Sollux for the way he's been treating Vriska. Eridan calls these things a "calliginous diatribe". He gives one to Nepeta that's only partly this trope, but is mostly about why kismesis is an essential part of the quadrants. Aradia and Tavros make these to each other just before the hatesnogging. Nepeta and Karkat give Terezi and Eridan a major one for engineering the Road To The Undoing FLARP session in order to get Aradia and Tavros together as kismeses, and completely ruining the fun night out both players were expecting to have. | |

OT3 | |
| Herding Cats / Fan Fic / int_83445309 | comment |
OT3: invoked Vriska ships Mindfang/Dolorosa/Summoner. In the context of her FLARP session's post-Heel–Face Turn Mindfang, anyway. Vriska would also like to have this with Kanaya and Tavros. And it may or may not have happened with Aradia/Sollux/Feferi. A caliginous one occured between Vriska and Sollux/Aradia. And now Sollux/Aradia have another one with Tavros. Another has happened as of chapter 26, with Nepeta, Eridan, and Terezi. It seems Aradia and Sollux are trying to spread this to everyone, with a moirail/matesprit version too. Eridan is asked if his Auspistice sessions with Equius and Tavros result in this. He replies, "Not all of them." Chapter 28 leads to BOTH a threesome AND a foursome that are discussed in more detail in Chapter 29. The threesome is Kanaya/Vriska/Feferi. The foursome is Gamzee/Equius/Tavros/Eridan. | |

Eridan has gone from a whiny, heartbroken, pathetic douche to a confident, happily shipped, successfully blackrom-shipping douche. After Gamzee sobers up, he starts, with Tavros' encouragement, heaping piles of abuse on Equius, who for the most part stands still and takes it. After a while, Equius grows a spine, stands up for himself and starts giving Gamzee shit back. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Herding Cats / Fan Fic / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: Chapter 12 is largely a memo celebration of the matespritship of Eridan/Terezi. Everyone (except Sollux) seems to be having a great time... and then a heartbroken Karkat shows up with his outburst. Chapter 19 has a lot of this. It starts off as an adventure where Nepeta and Feferi travel to Derse to retrieve Aradia's dreamself, goes to heartwarming as Sollux and Aradia (still in robot form) reveal their flushed feelings for each other, turns to horrific when the Aradiabot explodes and Sollux tries to kill himself, switches back to heartwarming when Aradia rescues Sollux and he gets both of his red quadrants filled, and ends on kinky. | |

Smoking Gun: Done twice against Nepeta. First, video footage of her hive shows her leaving on the night in question when she tries to claim she spent the entire night at her hive. She then changes her story, by claiming she went out to go on some game quests. Terezi then produces the video footage of her attacking Eridan. | |

A gentler Take That! is made in Chapter 20 as the trolls discuss the nature of the Auspistice quadrant and realize how confusing and ill defined it is especially in comparison to the other 3 quadrants, speculating that whoever came up with the quadrants just threw it in to complete the set, intending to be nothing more than the butt of a few cheap jokes that everyone ended up taking completely seriously (which Hussie admits is percisely what happened with the Auspistice). | |

Everyone's roleplaying, but except for Feferi as the judge and Equius as the bailiff, everyone's playing themselves based on an incident (Nepeta's attack of Eridan) that has actually happened. The Road to the Undoing FLARPing session, although there's no actual roleplaying. Even the deaths are real. Fortunately for both players, Death Is Cheap. | |

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Invoked in Chapter 23's FLARP session. The players are granted bonus Experience Points for insulting each other, but if either player dies, they're both sent back to the previous checkpoint. Given that Tavros was flushed for Aradia, who at the time of the session was Sollux's matespirit, and Aradia was pale for Tavros, who at the time of the session was Vriska's moirail, the situation went downhill very fast. | |

Chapter 27 has the robot Equius builds for Feferi. It's a cuttlefish, and its name when he and Sollux were building it was Sovereign. The name Feferi gives it is Captain Antoine Mack. Chapter 28 has Nepeta's If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her... speech: Ch 28 also has this lovely speech by Equius: Chapter 28 also has Vriska, who was a great adventurer until she took an arrow to the knee. Chapter 30 has Karkat's suggested names for the towns on the Land of Rays and Frogs: Lilycove City, Shelldock Isle, and Jolly Roger's Lagoon. Ch 31 has Kanaya's magic words: Accio Devotio Mahaa Kalaa Barada Nikto | |

What the Hell, Hero?: Both Aradia and Feferi chew out Sollux for trying to kill himself even though both of them had told him that Aradia had not died when her 'bot exploded. All the other trolls (even his matesprit and moirail) do this to Tavros in Chapter 24 for becoming a jerkass. Karkat gives one to Terezi for threatening to reveal his blood colour, because she's a blueblood and she has no idea what it's like to live as a mutant. In the Chapter 31 Re-Cut, several trolls chew out Feferi for forcing an unwanted French kiss on Karkat. Feferi again got called out earlier for her tactics in trying to incite a pitch romance with Kanaya- she publicly declared that Kanaya has a "dysfunctional and abusive relations)(ip wit)( Vriska" in chapter 28 and Kanaya angrily calls her out in the next chapter for spreading such damaging lies about her pale relationship and for implying she's an abuser. | |

Bi the Way | |
| Herding Cats / Fan Fic / int_e77f74ca | comment |
Bi the Way: Nepeta's equal opportunity in suggesting matespritships of the same gender. Among the other trolls, the one most Bi is Vriska, who even after happily becoming matesprits with Kanaya, still has some flushed feelings for Tavros. Equius is a subversion. At first, he wants Nepeta to ship him with Gamzee, but that's only because Gamzee is a highblood. Equius admits he likes nothing else about Gamzee, and later becomes his kismesis. Recently, Eridan, despite having a matesprit in Terezi, has got caught up in a "flushed infidelity" with his moirail, Gamzee. Gamzee's matesprit, Tavros is actually relieved to hear this since it now means he and Virska can act out their flushed feelings for each other. And now Terezi's getting into it with Aradia. And now thanks to another maroonion, Sollux is riding the bi-cycle. | |

Stock Legal Phrases: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you "Her Imperious Condescension"? How do you plead? I plead the fifth. Eridan makes this without knowing what it's called. Objection! Defendant is quite clearly "muskbeasting" the witness! Objection! Relevancy. Permission to treat the witness as hostile? (To which Feferi responds "This is an Alternian courtblock. You ALWAYS have permission to treat the witness as hostile!") Silence! Order in the "courtblock"! | |

Running Gag: A few. Gamzee's constantly changing guesses as to what his consorts are. People's comments on Nepeta's "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Eridan. Names for the various romances that the trolls participate, always ending in a reacharound and "is that really the name?" And, furthermore, various characters refusing to explain what a maroonion is. Gamzee talking about Equius and accidentally making sexual statements, such as saying he had to 'undress' him (when he meant 'dress down'). | |

Friendly Rivalry: According to Eridan and Terezi, this is what the relationship a troll is supposed to have with their kismesis. Terezi even uses these exact words to describe it. Nepeta/Eridan, Vriska/Sollux, Tavros/Aradia, Kanaya/Feferi, Equius/Gamzee and Karkat/Terezi have all been confirmed to be kismeses. | |

Brick Joke: In Nepeta's first Shipping Wall memo, Vriska at her bitchiest declares that if she ever finds herself making a cat pun, she'll hang herself. Instantly Terezi "FIVE DAYS FROM NOW" shows up on the memo and asks for Vriska's neck size. Kanaya gives it and Terezi leaves. Five days later, at another Shipping Wall memo, a now successfully shipped and much nicer Vriska offhandedly makes a cat pun. Terezi promptly presents her with a cat collar to wear instead of a noose. After they become matespirits, Kanaya and Vriska explain an 'absence' as having to fight off a sudden basilisk attack. Later, Karkat and Kanaya are attacked by basilisks for real. Kanaya is killed, and ascends to the God Tiers. | |
