March 2015

Hey sorry guys but Ive been going over Cascade a lot an there are still so many questions I have, hope that's okay. Firstly was the green sun the source of energy for guardians of both kids and trolls universe? But since the tumour was there because the session was failed why did the green sun come out of the tumour? Doesnt it have to be in ever session? Why did its becoming kill Doc Scratch and did it kill becsprite too? Also since sn0wman died was the destruction of both universes necessary?

Yes the Green Sun is the source of the first guardian’s powers in both universes.

The tumour paradoxically destroyed and created the Green Sun.

The Green Sun didn’t kill Doc Scratch, the collapse of the trolls’ universe did.

WHERE DOES DAVE TAKE HIS GLASSES OFF?

[S] Jade: Wake Up

John did a Chaos Dunk in Act 4

Before the end of the three year journey (so essentially between acts 1-5), did Rose and Jade ever meet in person?

No and neither did Dave and John.

The way I saw it, the tumor didn't directly destroy the two universes. Both versions of Jack from the trolls' and kids' sessions caused the actual destruction. Meanwhile, Doc Scratch misled everyone by saying the tumor had the power to destroy the Green Sun. While that was true, it also had the power to create it. Which it, in fact, did. The sun wasn't there when Rose and Dave arrived to its location because it didn't exist yet. It was always meant to be created by the tumor

How do the Alpha Kids and the Cherubs know so much about the game?

Dirk was awake on Derse for a long time and probably picked up some info from there.  Also I’m pretty sure Roxy and Dirk’s guardians left some kind of information for them but I’m not positive on that. 

And Calliope has a journal that Rose wrote her knowledge of Sburb in.

How did that whole password thing with Terezi work?

You put in the password in T3R3Z1’S QU1RK AND TH3N YOU COULD V13W TH3 R3TCONN3D 3V3NTS. You can go here for a list of the passwords.

If Nepeta would have died first instead of Equius, what do you think would have happened?

Equius would have killed Gamzee, hands down.

What's exactly is the 48 squiddle session

Hussie said (in a now deleted tumblr post) that the session that created the troll universe was played by 48 squiddles.

Didn’t Feferi make the dream bubbles? If so, how the heck did she make them? I’ve been wondering for a while 0_0

She convinced the horrorterrors to make them.

hey, i was thinking: when vriska died, she had her eye and her arm back, so why is meulin deaf, or why is kurloz still mute even though they're dead?

Vriska became her dreamself before dying which had her arm and eye.  So either Meulin and Kurloz never became their dreamselves or they choose for their dreamselves to remain that way.

Does Gamzee know Karkat's blood color? Since he was technically there when Spades Slick stabbed him?

Everyone knows Karkat’s blood color now.  

In all honesty, do you like Eridan at all?

I like all homestuck characters.  Eridan is a great character, he’s just not a great person.

This might've been asked many times but I was told that Terezi was blinded by the Alternian sun by one person but someone else said it was from her unborn lusus's eyes. Please explain.

It was the Alternian Sun, her lusus, under the control of Tavros under the control of Vriska told her to look into the sun.

Do we actually know anything canonically about Blood or is the bonds/emotions thing just a really prevalent fanon about it?

It’s speculation, the blood aspect has not been explicitly explained in canon.

If there's more than a 12 person session wat will the god tier's be, because aren't there only 12 god tier's?

There are more than 12.  If Lord and Muse can exist, surely others can as well.

Why don`t the alpha kids have their own Jack?

They do.

johns dreamself was still alive when john went godtier?

Yes, he was on Skaia.

when do the other trolls find out about karkats blood?

Terezi could smell it, and Gamzee saw it.  So either word spread or everyone saw him bleed at some point since they were playing the game for a few weeks, or he just told everyone.

in reality, shouldn't two of the same class/aspect be able to be in a session as long as they aren't the exact same role? like say a Thief of Mind and a Thief of Void, since they don't serve the same purpose within the session. hell, two of the same God Tier could be able to be in the same session if one is a positive player of the role and the other is a negative/antagonistic one. that works in any other game with a class-based RPG system, so why not SBURB?

We don’t know if it’s impossible for repeat classes and aspects in a session.  But we also don’t know if it’s possible so it might be.  It’s never been touched upon in canon and I don’t know if Hussie ever revealed the answer in his old formspring Q&A’s

I was ReWatching S: Cascade, When I realized that Jade GodTeired and her corpse was still laying on her Quest Bed. What happened to it? Why is it still there? And Why am I asking so many questions?

If a person god tiers with another life (Jade’s dreamself in jadesprite) then the other life is made the main life so Jade’s consciousness was transferred to her  Jadespriteself.  John’s body stayed on his questbed when he god tiered as well.  I’d imagine that someone buried all the corpses over the three year gap. As for why you’re asking so many questions, it’s because homestuck is confusing as shit.

Can I have an list of all the flashes in order of appearance.

There’s a wiki page for that

I feel like it bears adding onto that other ask about the Green Sun that that tumour could've *only* created the Sun when both universes were destroyed. In a way, they were both contained in essence within the bomb, and as they were destroyed in reality, their masses exploded from the bomb. This was foreshadowed when we earlier learned that the Sun was "the mass of two universes". It's literally made of the destroyed universes, which is how the hotel got inside of it, at the eye of the hurricane

How did Calliope get Rose's journal?

Gamzee left it.  We can tell this because he used the blood of a void player (Equius’s) to cover up every mention of himself in the book.

How many times have the mods read Homestuck?

I’ve read through it about 2 and a third times.  And I’m planning on reading it again once summer comes around and I have more free time.

Are there any conversations between feferi and gamzee?

Not between just the two of them. They both speak in two different memos.  But they might have spoken to one another in one of the walkaround flash games.

is march drag eridan canon or is it a joke in the fandom?

The image for, I believe the 2011 Homestuck calender for the month of March depicted Eridan crossdressing. He is also shown wearing the outfit in the Ministrife flash.  So to answer your question, kinda both.

If you need to became a dreamself/get tiger to heal, how did Tavros get his legs back when he died?

He became a ghost.

At the point of REUN1ON, what was (from Karkat's perspective) his most recent conversation with John?

I believe it’s Karkat: Contact John

That’s not counting the note that John sent to Karkat before entering the yellow yard.

John’s dad apparently doesn’t have any hair.
Source

He doesn’t have any hair because he shaves relentlessly 

Yo do have a FAQ? Could you link it if possible, I'm on mobile :(

It’s doesn’t have a ton of stuff on it yet but here you go.

Why exactly does John have these retcon powers? I mean It's not a godteir thing right?

He got them by touching a very powerful juju

how did Gamzee get to Earth in order to raise Caliborn

The Cali’s were raised on the meteor on Earth in the distant future so Gamzee just had to fast forward along the meteor’s timeline to reach them.

I have question that's been bugging me for a while. If Bec Noir knew how the quest beds work (he brought Jade to hers after she died) then why did he stab John when he was asleep on his? Wouldn't that have just created another powerful enemy for him?

I’d argue that he doesn’t know how quest beds work and that he put Jade on her quest bed because whenever Jade would have a narcoleptic episode Bec would always put her in bed.

I have a friend who is new to homestuck and has been bothering the glub out of me (yes im a pieces, deal with it) over 12 perigree and gristmas. so I want to know, are either actually canon or fan made?

Gristmas is fanmade, the 12th Perigee’s Eve is canon.

couldn't he have also realized it after stabbing john

Yeah, I guess.  But the Bec instinct is sadder so I’m gonna go with that.

is it canon that kanaya had a crush on feferi?

I don’t believe so

i noticed a lot of troll cosplay/art depicts them with yellow fingernails. is this ever mentioned in canon? (like how the kanaya panel explicitly stated that trolls have naturally black lips)

Yes, it’s shown in canon that trolls naturally have yellow fingernails.

How does Gamzee move across timelines? (To raise the calis for example) Is it juju stuff like John or what?

He has a pair of music box time machines that he got from one of the megidos

What do we know about the very powerful juju?

Yaldabaoth gave it to Caliborn when he finished his session.  It can be used as a weapon twice, once by Caliborn and once against him.  Caliborn used it and hid it in the furthest ring in hopes that no one would use it against him.  It allows the user to move freely through time and space without risk of creating a doomed timeline.

Wasn't it proven that Jade's narcoleptic fits were Vriska seeing what her mind control powers could do to humans?

Yes

Did Tavros ever reject Gamzee's offer to make out or…?

What happened to Gamzee's dream self? I don't remember seeing him dying, but there's no other Gamzee other than Codtier shown.

It died but it wasn’t shown in canon to make us believe that Gamzee had gone god tier.

Do you need to complete ectobiology to win sburb?

Only if you were created through ectobiology.  If you were born like the Cali’s then you don’t have to.

How did the Condescension obtain so many powerful abilities? And did she work for Lord English at some point?

She did experiments and figured out how to use them over time.  And yes, she is still under Lord English’s employment.

Do you think things could have turned out differently had Gamzee been the one paralyzed? (Asking for a friend whose working on an AU)

If Gamzee had been in Tavros’s place and thrown off the cliff he probably wouldn’t have been paralyzed since he’s a highblood and more durable to damage.   If that had happened though the cycle of revenge wouldn’t have started so Aradia wouldn’t have died, Terezi wouldn’t have gone blind and Vriska wouldn’t have lost her arm and eye and Tavros, obviously wouldn’t have lost his ability to walk.

About the Gamzee's Dream Self thing, isn't it implied that Gamzee doesn't die in any Timeline, Dream Self or not? The only Timeline where we've seen that happen didn't even become doomed, it was erased from ever being by John's retconning. And the lack of any Gamzee Ghost in the Dream Bubbles (Jadesprite showed to have been in the Bubbles it's to be assumed they have separate ghosts) would indicate it's still. Sort of perhaps drifting in the Furthest Ring? You can't keep the clown down. Sadly.

All ghost Gamzee are in the same place, a bubble separated from all the rest, all of them lying in a great giant horn pile and eating pie.

Meta question: How in the world do you remember so much about Homestuck? Did you major in MSPAology in college?

Gosh I wish I could major in that.  I just have a good memory and I usually check the comic/wiki before I saying anything I’m not 100% positive about.

Caliborn has watched Dirk sleep.
