AR was Dave’s Exile

Source

Excuse me, but where's the source saying Eridan hates landdwellers because of them polluting?

I was wondering why karkat made all the grubs when he's in the post scratch sesson?(wouldn't it be one of the pre scratch trolls?)

That was one of the reasons the pre-scratch trolls’ session was doomed to fail.

Wasn't the FIRST prototyping the eldrich doll ?

Please watch the flash

Does Dave ironically (rude) have gaffing tape for photography or just to have it. (002281)

It says straight up in his introduction that he’s an amateur photographer.

How did tinkerbull die?

please please please clear something up for me that i've wondered over and over again. ive read hs 3 times and this confuses me to no end: john created him and the other 3 kids, AND their guardians (well, nanna wasn't really one, but w/e). they all got sent to earth in john's session. how is it that the other 4 kids were created and sent to earth from john's session to theirs if we literally saw the babies get sent back and become guardians? if those were the only 8 kids/guardians made, then...?

When the Scratch was initiated the portals that sent the babies to Earth changed.  So the babies were sent to different times.  The babies that grew up to be the beta kids in the beta timeline grew into the guardians of the alpha kids timeline and vice-versa.  

Hey, can you leave a Link to when the ancestors were introduced or a refresher? I'm really in need of one. Thanks in advance. 😊

The ancestors are talked about on two separate occasions.  Here is the first and the second.

Is it possible to kill a sprite?

With enough hard work and determination anything is possible!

some say never states that sollux HAS bipolar,and that biploar is used to describe his moodswings. "It's one of a number of things you SORT OF BEAT YOURSELF UP ABOUT for NO VERY GOOD REASON during sporadic and debilitating BIPOLAR MOOD SWINGS" What's your take on it?

I personally don’t have an opinion of the matter and I feel it’s up to the individual how they want to interpret it.

What difference would the extra plush near tavors's death possibly cause?

This is right around the time Murderstuck is going on, Tavros and Feferi are already dead, Eridan is about to die by Kanaya’s hand, everyone thinks Kanaya is dead and Sollux is half dead.

Gamzee is about to manipulate Terezi into killing Vriska. During the investigation the first time Terezi loses her glasses but she was distracted by the plush and now still has them.  Gamzee would have taken the glasses so potentially Terezi won’t fall for his tricks and Vriska’s death won’t happen.  Gamzee also had Terezi’s glasses when he killed Equius and Nepeta so potentially their deaths will be averted.  Maybe Equius will end up killing Gamzee?  Who know? What this change will cause is up in the air at this point but it will definitely be significant. 

The trolls' sprites were all killed by time we played the first Alterniabound flash.

Yes, Bec Noir killed them all when he first appeared in the Troll Universe.

Karkat attempts to contact Terezi via her glasses soon after she takes them off, to alert her of Gamzee's breakdown.

Idk I feel like you're a really intimidating person

I’m not intimidating, I’m a loser.  I run a homestuck blog after all

I know your real name

Considering there’s a link to my personal blog in the faq, I’m not impressed.

I lobe you

I lobe you too anon

I know my real name

Good job

Hey there! Can I ask a question? I've heard a couple of times that Dave is left handed/ambidextrous but I'm not sure. Do you know anything about it, or are you able to prove it in any way?

I guess he’s been shown using his left hand for a number of things

For the person who asked about Dave being left handed- It's not entirely confirmed, that I know of, but if you watch the kids do stuff they're majorly right handed except for John, who's left. And with the trolls they're majorly left handed except for Karkat, who's right handed. But Hussie has a habit of drawing stuff and flipping the panels around so it can be difficult to figure out who's doing what and stuff :P

how is it that only terezi could see brain ghost dirk in the dream bubble aranea took jake and brain ghost dirk to?

She’s a Seer of Mind. 

I keep seeing a picture of karkat with 3 holes in his chest, when he's dead. When was that? I think I missed it.

That was when Jane killed him in order to demonstrate that she can bring someone back to life one time.

Seers can hear their guides better than other players

When combined with the Felt poster, Dave’s broken record icon becomes a broken 8-ball.

Doc Scratch explained the Pre-Scratch Trolls’ session long before they were introduced

Where'd Terezi get the scarf?

She made it

how did jade wind up with dog ears and a tail again?

Her sprite was prototyped with Bec and her dreamself.  After Jade died on her questbed she became her dreamself and retained the Bec traits such as the ears, tail, and affinity for snausages.

Could you give me a summary of the events that took place in the trolls pre-scratch session between Meenah and Damara? I vaguely remember it having something to do with Rufioh, but I can't recall much more. Thanks in advanced!

Meenah picked on Damara relentlessly, particularly over her former relationship with Rufioh.  Damara eventually snapped, beat the shit out of Rufioh, killed Meenah, and then basically used her time abilities to fuck with the team and sabotage them.

Right before she kisses him in an attempt to revive him, she removes her glasses. Before the password brings John here to make an alternate timeline as seen in the recent updates, Gamzee takes her glasses and uses them to send another message to Karkat, through her own account. This occurs in Karkat: Answer Terezi, and after Karkat has a small breakdown over Sollux, he messages Equius and asks him to go after Gamzee. This sparks Equius: Seek the highbl00d, during which Gamzee kills Equius and subsequently kills Nepeta.

Everything after that - right down to this shifting of events - stemmed from Gamzee stealing the glasses and causing a chain of deaths that only less than half of the trolls survived(and in Sollux’s case, not even long enough to do much more than fire the meteor towards the new universe).

Now, however, Terezi was interrupted by the witness.

She put her glasses back on - BEFORE Gamzee can steal them.

Now, when Karkat messages her while he’s with Sollux, she can answer him.

This changes a lot of things;

1. Gamzee won’t have Terezi’s glasses to scare Karkat, and even if he ordered Equius after Gamzee, he wouldn’t have the glasses on to momentarily trick Equius into thinking it’s Terezi(see first image)

2. Because he will not be ordered to fight Gamzee, Equius will still be with Nepeta by the horn pile. What will happen to them is unknown.

3. Terezi will have her glasses to respond to Karkat, and they will discuss, as Karkat puts it, “GETTING THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.” This will likely prevent the escape and/or death of Vriska.

In essence, it wasn’t necessarily the witness himself that changed the timeline; it was Terezi’s glasses. There are probably other things that this changed, but the big one is that in this edited timeline, Terezi(likely) stayed on the roof longer, Karkat didn’t utterly panic and send off Equius, and Gamzee never scared anyone with the glasses.

Could it be that the terminals the exiles used to command the kids represent the things the kids destroyed in order to get into the session. WV used a bottle top terminal located around where Rose lived to cotrol John, the apple that grew where John lived was used to view Jade, Daves eggshell teminal was used to talk to Rose, but how did AR command Dave?

Wait did the trolls have consorts? Just wondering.

Most likely.  They were never shown in canon but it was hinted at

But Nepeta's still dead and in the same place she was before.

Yep, which means Equius is also most likely dead.  But we don’t know for sure quite yet  >; ]

I need some clarification. I thought that the alpha kids were made from the beta kids ghost slime, and vice versa. But I have heard other people say that the alpha kids where normal clones of the guardians.

The alpha kids are the normal paradox clones of Bro, Nanna, Mom, and Grandpa.

Can I get a link to when the pre-scratch trolls are introdused? I can't find it and I have been looking for 2 weeks!

This is the first one. They were all introduced in Act 6 Intermission 3

Alright gang, Nepeta’s confirmed to still be dead in the new retcon timeline.  As such, I think we can all agree to bring back the old “Nepeta’s Dead” meme.

Well come to think of it I guess without a dead Nepeta there wouldn't be a Fefeta. However if there's no dead Equius maybe that'll mean that AR won't get prototyped? I don't know, it just seems like something which might affect what happens since AR seems to be kind of... not sure how to describe it, they seem a little malicious to me.

There’s a great theory out there suggesting that AR/Lil’ Hal eventually becomes Doc Scratch

how did gamzee get sobor and why did he kill all the trolls ? sorry i forgot

He got sober because he ran out of sopor, and he killed all the trolls because Doc Scratch told him to.

I can not for the live of me figure out terezi's passwords, i can't tell if im just stupid or not paying attention probably both

You just need to write it in terezi’s quirk.

Example: when you enter the password Justice, type it JUST1C3

What was the "Nepeta's Dead" meme? I don't think i was in the fandom back then :)

Long ago in the year 2012 it was basically a meme to make jokes that Nepeta was dead like “Nepeta walked into a club” or “Why was the meteor so warm? The AC is broken”.  You could probably dig some up if you looked for them.  There was also a shortlived meme of “With Equius” which was just adding Equius into things.

The memes gave the characters a huge popularity boost as they were fairly unpopular before hand.

Why does jade have the coloured bands on her fingers?

She wore them to remind herself of stuff cause she was very forgetful.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the first one to theorize that Equius is possibly alive in this retconned timeline, since his body was never shown next to Nepeta's, and John only mentioned her body, and nobody else's. What do you think?

Equius’s body wasn’t there in the non-retconed timeline.  Gamzee moved it.

You've mentioned Terezi keeping her glasses on in the Tavros scene a lot lately, but the panel in MURD3R shows her without them regardless. Do you think Gam got them anyway? Sauce: /?s=6&p=009213

As you can see four pages later, she is wearing them again.

You know how like all of the images of the ancestors and how they all have pitch black skin? Does this mean that the older trolls get the darker their skin gets...?

No, the ancestors are drawn so that they have very little details shown.  Kinda like how the kids’ guardians are all blank white with very little detail.

But if you’d like to headcanon that trolls’ skin gets darker with age that’s totally cool and up to you

I'd just like to confirm, but Patron Trolls are chosen from who they like, and not from numbers and birthday codes, right? There's a lot of people who I know keep on trying to convince me that it's based on birthday numbers and dates, or by the other way that determines the dream planet and character.

In the story the patron troll was the one the Beta kids talked to the most/got the most help from.

Fandom-wise, there are several ways to find a patron troll, all of which are fine.  There is no right way to pick a patron troll.

Aren't the Ancestors drawn with very few details to emphasize the fact a lot about them are unknown and their stories are extremely ancient and thus quite forgotten ?

I’m not sure if that’s the reason but it’s definitely an effect probably intended by Hussie

So who did Gamzee kill on the asteroid and which of them are still confirmed to be dead in the retcon timeline?

Equius and Nepeta.

How did Dave and Rose die on their Sacrificial Slabs?

A bomb exploded them to death in [S] Cascade

I heard that it was mentioned that Gamzee always had red feelings for Tavros and hit on him several times. Is this true?

Yes
