July 2012

I feel like you should point out that stuff happened in the banner at the Scratch part, since I know a few people who didn't notice until I told them about it.

Trust me, we noticed, I think we have two or three already on this blog.

-Mod F

What about dad was banned from Cirque du Soleil? Sorry i cant find the page

We got that one already friend.

-Mod L

I always thought the plural of "lusus" would be "luses", like "crisis"; "crises".

I’m pretty sure the wiki says lusii but I could be wrong.

-Mod L

on the alternia album, there's a song that calls them "lusii" (death of the lusii)

Ok, so that settles that then.

i dont have the source here because hussie deleted his formspring or an image to go with it but a commonly forgotten homestuck fact is that the nature of troll sexuality means that kanaya isn't a lesbian as we think of it??????????? she prefers girls, but she could look at a guy and think "wow thats hot" and be attracted because it's more in the nature of a fetish than of a sexuality. i feel like ive done a bad job explaining this but yeah

Yeah this sounds familiar to me.

I’ll just put this here.

-Mod L

Okay stop. You guys just have the best reaction pictures i have ever seen werjghsiedo

Thanks I guess

I get most of them from the combination of homestuckreactiongifs and The Batman from homestuckpetpeeves.

Some I just stumble upon on my own though.

-Mod L

I have quotes from the formspring archive. Relevant bits on Kanaya: "But then, homosexuality in a society where bisexuality is the norm is kind of a different thing. Rather than being a swapped preference, it is a more exacting preference. Somewhat like a fetish for a particular gender." and "Not that any of this changes how we view Kanaya. From a human perspective, she's an unmistakably gay character."

Well there you go then.

-Mod L

I read somewhere from one of Hussie's many accounts on various websites that trolls have two dicks- one hate dick and one love dick. Unfortunately, I can't remember where it was (I think it might have been formspring) or whether or not he was being serious. U_U;

A few things to keep in mind on that.

1) I believe Hussie once said something along the lines of “people ask troll sex questions all the time and I never once gave a serious answer”

2) Formspring is where fat Vriska came from.

Can we get the sexuality thing rebloggable please.

Sure thing.

-Mod L

Most people forget John is left-handed!

-cough cough- SOURCE -cough cough-

-Mod L

Actually everyone, from what I've gathered, is left handed in homestuck. Or atleast all the boys are.

With all the sprite flipping nonsense it’s really hard to tell.

-Mod L

how about everyone is ambidextrous

Sure, let’s go with that.

-Mod L

I'm really bad at submitting stuff, but I just wanna add that all the kid's internet browser names match the names of their denizens, which I thought was pretty cool.

Woah.

I did not know that.

-Mod L

did you really not know that or was that sarcasm

I genuinely did not know that.

-Mod L

On 006867 you see Dirk drawing with his left hand and on 002366 Dave is typing on his phone with his left hand. John is right handed shown on page 002373 when he types on his PDA.

Typing really doesn’t prove that though, I’m left handed and I type with my right.

Then again I may be the exception and not the rule. Who knows.

-Mod L

I'm left handed and type with my right, too! Are you me...? I'd also like to add that in most instances, characters that have their sprites flipped correctly and are doing stuff are using their left hands. It's probably just because the Huss is a leftie.

That or he just doesn’t care enough.

Also I’m fairly certain you’re not me…possibly

-Mod L

John is ambidextrous because he can wield a hammer in both hands

He was also waving them around like a manic and not doing anything really dexterity intensive.

-Mod L

Hi, Mod L and Mod F. So I made a side tumblr on this for us to post notes to eachother without having to post it on the main blog or send duplicated asks or whatever. Mainly as a means of organization and timesaving. Just follow that blog on your personals and we won't have to clog up forgottenhsfacts with metablogging and stuff that doesn't pertain to the followers. If this is a stupid idea ignore it. -Mod A

Nonono, it’s a great idea. Thank you. :) It would be helpful instead of having to tell each other things through asks, or this blog or whatever. I am answering this publicly so that Mod L can see it too.

-Mod F

You guys are great.

You think so? Thanks, that actually means a lot to me, I’m sure it means a lot to the others as well.

-Mod L

I think with all the sprite flipping nonsense and such, the dominant hands of the characters don't really matter

Pretty much.

-Mod L

eridan is the only male troll with black lips.

Nope. Sorry friend but I’m pretty dang sure you’re wrong on this one.

-Mod L

A few pages after Kanaya's intro, she states that a troll's lips are naturally black

Yeah see.

-Mod L

"eridan is the only male troll with black lips." I know they already said you are wrong, but let me remind you that he is also the only one that is a "fish" that is a male, therefor without Feferi being a male, (since she wears makeup) your argument is invalid either way. Sorry :3

I have absolutely no idea what you’re trying to say.

-Mod L

I think that second anon is trying to say that Seadwellers aren't trolls? I'm not sure, but that's what I'm getting.

-Mod L

Maybe it's that he's got big lips because he's a fish troll?/shot a million times

That is also a possibility.

-Mod L

What he's saying is that since Eridan's the only sea-dweller male, your argument is invalid. Not sure why it's invalid, though.

I’m not sure either.

-Mod L

just kinda wondering, is there any particular reason sollux is your icon?

I was wondering that myself, maybe Mod F will have a real answer for you.

-Mod L

Could someone cite the actual comic rather than the wiki for this jade blood fact?

Bro, there is a link to the page that it’s on right on the fact.

-Mod L

I'm just wondering, but since Jadebloods are so rare (and I think I recall seeing that Kanaya was the only living one at some point?), wouldn't you think that technically she'd be on the top of the hemospectrum, regardless of the actual blood color?

I’m fairly certain that their blood’s rank isn’t based off of rarity, if it was then Kanaya would be on the top.

-Mod L

I thought it was Feferi that was the last of her kind, not Kanaya? Jadebloods are rare, but I'm sure she's not the only one??

Heck if I know, despite the fact that I admin on the blog about remembering the little details I remember very few little details.

-Mod L

"You are one of the few of your kind with JADE GREEN BLOOD. As such you are one of the few who could be selected and raised by a VIRGIN MOTHER GRUB, an event so rare as to elude documented precedent." So Kanaya isn't the only jadeblood, just the only one to be raised by a mother grub.

Well there you go then.
