Yesterday's Paradox Space page made me wonder - did we ever see Gl'bgolybsprite?

Nope

Hey, where does it say in canon that the Vast Glub happened? I remember being confused about that.

Feferi mentions it a few pages prior but this is the first confirmation we get that it happens. X

does grimdarkness last forever. When rose became grimdark she died after. does that make her a doomed timeline? is that the same rose? its been so long i dont remember.

After grimdark rose died John kissed her which awakened her dreamself.  So it’s the same Rose just a different body, I guess.  

how'd you find out your God tier? did you take a test? did someone give it to you?

I just read up on the classes and aspects and decided which one fit me best.

I'm not sure if you've already answered this, but can you explain Sollux's death? I mean, I'm aware that he had two dreamselves and he came back as one and the other died, but what then? How come he was "half dead?" why was there a Sollux already at the Green Sun with Aradia before Sollux died in Cascade?

1st Sollux died from the Vast Glub.
2nd Sollux was killed by Bec Noir, but was only half-dead (we still don’t really know how that works) so he was able to leave the dreambubbles with Aradia.
3rd Sollux died from overexertion moving the meteor to the Green Sun.

But when Erisolsprite was formed, the half ghost was sucked out of Sollux #2 so now he is full alive again only blind.  It’s complicated and confusing.

Its unknown whether vriska would have done more damage to the black king than gamzee because it was the final hit

True.

The Felt mob uses a card inventory system just like the Midnight crew. Instead of having the four standard suits they have what looks to match up with their romance system, a possible nine suits if cards.

Since the lands were smashed together and the Condesce's ship was in it does that mean the Helmsman died or atleast is still in the ship?

The helmsman died a long time ago.  He was killed by the vast glub just like his descendant. 

When Dirk was talking about living in the future, did that really happen? Like, Dirk growing up in the future, or was that a lie?

It was true.  Dirk and Roxy grew up in the future.

I'm seeking your help here, because I'm confused: If a God Tier dies a heroic/just death they used to stay dead/be revived. But then suddenly not? Was that because of Slick destroying that special clock of Doc Scratch?

I’m confused as to what exactly you’re asking.  God tier players have always stayed dead if they suffered a heroic or just death and always been revived if they had not.

Has it been stated in canon what the significance of Rose's MEOW letter sequence is? I know it's replacing the letter sequences for DNA but what is the point of it?

It was used in the creation of Bec, just like Jake’s BARK book was used in the creation of Gcat.

how exactly did the beta kids escape the scratch?

They left their session. Jade and John went through the fourth wall while Dave, Rose and the trolls escaped to the Outer Ring which is the area between sessions.

Does troll blood colour have anything with how big their lusii are?

It shouldn’t.  Sollux is a lowblood and his lusus is a lot bigger than Eridan’s

So say John wanted to get to Dave's world, he'd have to use his client portal to get to Jade's world and find a client portal on her world? Would he be using one of Jade's green portals because it's her client player, or would it be a blue portal somewhere on Jade's planet?

He could do that or he could just go through his 4th gate.  And I’m not sure about the color of the portal but it’s most likely that all the portals on a planet are the same color.

Could sn0wman possibly go trickster?? Like is it possible? Cuz i rly wanna draw a trickster sn0wman lmao

There’s nothing saying Carapacians can’t go trickster.

Vriska cannot mind control those with strong minds, right? She can only control those with weak minds?

Pretty much, the more impressionable and insecure someone is the easier she can control them.

can i just say thank you for running this blog? like you make things so much easier to understand. So thank you for making this blog

You’re welcome, and thanks for the support!

But here’s a Forgotten fhsf Fact for you:  I didn’t create this blog!  There were originally three admins  F, L, and A.  Almost two years ago they got tired of this blog and handed it over to me and two other peeps.  Those two other peeps didn’t last long though and were only active for like a month.  And that’s how I became the sole owner and mod of this blog!

How did Terezi go blind?

 Vriska mind controled Tavros, making him use his psychic powers to control Terezi’s unhatched lusus into telling Terezi to go outside and look into the Alternian sun which then blinded her.

Are the rings of void and life jujus?

They might be, we aren’t sure yet.

Who are the people with weak minds who Vriska can control?

Tavros for sure, Sollux, Carapacians, Hussie, and others I assume but those are the only ones shown in canon.

Was the Subjugglator killed? I know the vast glub kills all landdwelling trolls, but isn't the dark purple blood semi-acquatic?

He died before hivebent started, we don’t know how he died though.

I've never really understood how did Aradia get god tier

check the FAQ.  I recently updated it with a handful of questions, this being one of them.

stelera replied to your post:Who are the people with weak minds who Vriska can…
She controlled the dead Amporas and made them punch each other in the face.

Right!  Who could forget

How did the condesce get vriska and tavros' powers to control trolls and animals?

It’s in the FAQ

Davesprite died with John in the retconned timeline

Hey there! Can I ask if it has ever been explicitly stated or implied that Kanaya is a lesbian?

All trolls are a kind of bi- or pansexual as they lack the concepts of homosexuality and heterosexuality, but since all of Kanaya’s romantic interests have been girls isn’t a popular headcannon that she’s a lesbian.

is there a reason that jade's and rose's kernel sprites hatched before entering the medium as opposed to john's and dave's which hatched upon entering the medium?

Rose’s hatched because it had both prototypings done and Jade’s was a special prototyping so it also was allowed to hatch early.

Where is the FAQ?

If you’re on a desktop go to the blog and in the top left corner click on the block that says “navigation” and a drop down menu will open from which you can find the FAQ in.


If you’re on mobile, go to the blog and click on the three little lines in the top left corner and click on FAQ, you can’t get to the FAQ through the app though so go through a browser

What's Homestuck?

Was Aranea's plan to rule multiple universes?

No, her plan was to change the timeline so that Lord English was never created, which would also doom the timeline, and she thought she would be able to heal it into the alpha timeline since.

and what do they mean by the term "rule 63" in homestuck?

Rule 63 is internet slang for “gender bending”, i.e. drawing a character as if they presented as a different gender.

You can find the Homestuck Beta by clicking BETA LAUNCH

how did karkat get his lusus if his blood is mutated?

The Sufferer’s followers secretly breed a special lusus for centuries so that his descendent would have a lusus.

Assuming that a session is perfect, what would its timeline of events be?

>Everyone enters
>They do their planet quests (optional)
>Hephaestus lights the forge
>The frogs are breed
>Players fight the Black King
>Players release their Genesis Frog so it can grow
>Players claim their prize. 

how did carapacians get to earth in universe B? i know the condesce brought them but where did she get them

Probably Derse since she took over the thrown there. 

Are you sure that Hephaestus lighting the forge is a necessary part of every session? I thought that in the particular case of the beta kids' session thay needed it to melt the snow on LOFAF, but space players' lands aren't always frozen, are they?

Hephaestus doesn’t light it, my mistake, the Space player does.  But it always needs to be lite.  It melted the snow in Jade’s land and dried up the water in Kanaya’s.

What was the glitch that made the pre-scratch trolls unable to win their session?

They couldn’t do ecto-biology.

Do you read Paradox space? The current comic makes no sense, trolls would die in the sun wouldn't they?

On the third page of the comic Karkat says the comic is a work of AU fiction that he wrote

How would Dave's death in the gigaupdate be considered heroic?

He died trying to save Jade.  He chased Bec Noir and PM because Jane said she could bring Jade back to life. And since he died trying to save someone, it was considered heroic.

When the beta and alpha kids die in doomed timelines, they go to the dream bubbles where the trolls are right?

Yes

As someone who looked into quite a few things and making up my own theories, i came across a question you answered about god tiers. We know that our interpretation of Heroic/Just deaths are really up to us to decide, but what do they do? When a GT player dies in one of the deaths are they revived or do they stay dead? or do they get revived when their death isn't either of the causes? Recalling from John's fight with Jack i thought they revive from a Just/Heroic Death?

No a heroic or just death means they stay dead.  They come back if their death wasn’t heroic or just.

Sooo, if lusii pick trolls when they are still grubs, how was Terezi even picked? Did an egg just pick her or what?

The dragon could communicate with Terezi through telepathy.

Did Aradia help Kanaya in frog breeding?

I don’t believe so, from my understanding it was only Kanaya and Karkat and took forever.

People seem to always draw the trolls with long pointy ears, where in canon has that actually been shown?

It hasn’t, it’s just one of the popular headcanons

I have a question, if Dirk and Roxy grew up in the future. And Jake and Jane in the past. How are all Dave Jade John and Rose in the present together? (Sorry if it's infront of my face XD)

The Alpha kids’ and Beta kids’ timelines are completely separate until they meet up.    Dirk and Roxy are not Bro and Mom.  Here’s a crude rendition of the their timelines to try and help.

I've got a question that's been bugging me for a while. How did Karkat survive as a grub? I thought that lusii would kill a grub that had mutant blood? I know the only reason that The Sufferer survived was because The Dolorosa took him.

The Sufferer’s followers breed a special lusus that would choose the Sufferer’s descendant rather than kill him.

How did Jake God Tier if his dreamself died?

He died on the special “in the middle of your dream moon” bed which can work with either.

the first time aridia was killed (by sollux) why didn't she go god tier?

She didn’t die on her questcocoon

whats the prize for winning sburb?

A new universe

Is Gamzee responsible partly for the creation of Bec Noir and the slaughter of all the dream selves? He did haunt Johns dream and put Harlequins in em and John drew em out and his Dad thought he like them so he bought the one John prototyped. sooooo

Yes.  If Gamzee didn’t chucklevoodoo John then he wouldn’t have draw harlequins on his wall and is dad wouldn’t have thought he liked them and bought him the harlequin doll and if the harlequin doll wasn’t bought it wouldn’t have been prototyped and if it wasn’t prototyped the Black Queen wouldn’t have made Jack wear the clown hate and Jack wouldn’t have killed her and obtained the ring.
