I was wondering. Did Karkat make the pre-scratch trolls like how John used ectobiology to make the alpha and beta kids? (Kankri, Rufioh, etc.) My friends told me he did and but I'm a bit skeptical.

Yes he did, but Karkat’s ectobiology was a lot more complicated than John’s

Is it possible that when john enters the medium and is being commanded by the blue text to do stuff that the blue text could be caliborn? just the all caps and choppy sentences and sentence fragments make me think of caliborn

It was WV giving the commands.

vriska and kanaya were moirails at some point, right? why were they separated after that ?

Yes, Kanaya had flushed feelings for Vriska though and after she saw Vriska kiss Tavros she broke it off with her.

so now, with john changing the timeline, whats his position now? i mean wheres he, whats he doing? also at the last panel he and roxy transported to somewhere but where? whats going to happen to them? im just confused lol

He’s teleporting them into the Alpha session which is currently lacking his planet, Roxy and himself

So Dave had a lot of nightmares about Cal, right? Who exactly caused them? Cal himself, or maybe some troll with a voodoo? Is that mentioned somewhere in Homestuck?

Gamzee caused Cal with his chucklevoodoo. Cal actually caused the nightmares but it was because of Gamzee.

Spades kissed snowman???

Yes.  Then Doc Scratch beat the shit out of him.

Actually there probably wasn't a Jack Noir in Caliborns session. As it didn't have the conflict between Derse and Prospit whatsoever.

I begged to differ

Do we know who made sburb? It's been around for some unknowable and paradoxical amount of time because its use creates universes but I was just wondering if there was a creation of it or anything

It was made by different people in each session but all of them are based on a technology found in the frog temple which is paradoxically created by the game and sent to the planet so that the game can be made.  So I guess technically the game makes itself?

Didn't the Jack Noir from Caliborn's session get turned into Jack English and sent outside the jnsiphisphere?

That was the Jack from the Alpha kid session.

What are the requirements for god tier and how does kissing play into death??

Requirements for god tier are to die on your quest bed if you have another life or on your sacrificial slab if you don’t. 

 Kissing a dead person wakes up their other life.

A quick reminder that the pre-scratch trolls are indeed the alpha trolls and that the post-scratch trolls are indeed the beta trolls. People are often confused and believe it is the other way around, like how it is for the kids.

When did Roxy kiss Dirk?

Trickster time

Can you please clarify which set of trolls is Alpha and which ones are Beta? Like is Karkat, Gamzee, etc. Alphas or Betas?

Technically Karkat’s group is the Beta trolls.  But because everyone mixes up which group is which I just refer to them as pre-scratch or post-scratch.

hi, this is probably a dumb question but wasn't meenah's ghost 19 and vriska's ghost 13? the whole thing kind of creeped me out :-(

Vriska’s ghost had been in the dreambubbles for a long time so while her ghost may look 13 since that’s when she died she’s actually a lot older because time works differently in the dreambubbles.  Meenah’s ghost on the other hand only recently arrived in the dreambubbles so she’s still relatively the same age.

wouldn't karkat's group be the alpha trolls since alpha sessions are post-scratch and karkat's group was post-scratch?

It has been explained in canon that Meenah’s group was the Alpha and Karkat’s the Beta.  Whether or not that makes sense isn’t up to me.

Dirk mentioned something about the Condy's plan with the lussi and how she was hiding them somewhere on earth, and since we see them on Jake's island would that mean she hid them there thinking that it was unhabited ever since she killed Jade there?

Yes

Who did tavros message first after his "accident"

Karkat

didn't rose write game walkthroughs? does that mean she's a gamer? I forget

She wrote the Sburb walkthrough, we don’t know if she wrote others.

Wasn't it stated that the Alternian sun is too hot for normal trolls to be in direct contact with? So the trolls are nocturnal except for Kanaya's caste?

Yes to both.

Wouldn't the cherubs' session be technically post scratch because it's sort of post apocalyptic? Perhaps a pre scratch counterpart will be introduced later... Which leads to the question; could a one-player session like Caliborn's lead to a Scratch?

The Cherub session is not a post-scratch session.  It couldn’t be scratched because you need Echidna’s needles to scratch the Beat Mesa and there is no Echidna in Caliborn’s session.

Is the reason that Alpha sessions and Beta sessions are named those because of WHICH session did the ectobiology? Karkat, the post scratch, did ectobiology. His session was Beta. John, the pre scratch, did ectobiology. His session was Beta. Am I right on this, or has this been brought up before in canon?

Actually the Alpha and Beta sessions are named such after the version of the game played.  John played the Sburb Beta thus Beta kids.  Jane played the Sburb Alpha, thus Alpha kids.   To the best of my knowledge Karkat’s group just played Sgrub, no alpha or beta about it.

Alright gang, here’s an easy way to remember it.

The Beta trolls were introduced alongside the Beta kids.

The Alpha trolls were introduced alongside the Alpha kids.

What are your hopes/expectations for Caliborns masterpiece?

Probably something bad involving Callie.

Wait why did karkat have to do ectobiology? I thought the whole point of the scratch was that the order of the meteors that were sent back in time with the babies were switched.

If the Pre-scratch trolls didn’t initiate the scratch the meteors wouldn’t have even been sent out at all and they wouldn’t exist.  So in order to close the paradox of their creation they had to scratch.

To all of you saying that Meenah’s group are the Beta trolls

Would it be correct to say that successful sessions are Beta and unsuccessful sessions are Alpha? It seems the chronology of everything goes Alpha - Beta - Alpha - Beta, with the second beta creating the first Alpha in a loop.

How did Meenah ghost come just recently to the dream bubbles unlike the rest of her gang?

Time shenanigans.

here's a good one: Nepeta is autistic

I’ve had this one submitted a few times and I don’t want to take it as a fact.  If you headcannon it it’s fine, good for you.  But just because Karkat calls her that once it doesn’t mean it’s true. 

Not a HS fact, but I think it's worth noting that the 'injuries' of Harlequinsprite/Nanasprite mirror Vriska's, namely damage to the left eye & a fake left arm. Vriska is also the patron troll of John, the guy who 'injured' Harlequinsprite.

reaverbro replied to your post: welcometoalternialandofthetrash a…

It’s still possible for it to be POST scratch though. Since there is a Space player (Calliope), then Echidna would have been there if the session went normally. However, I don’t think (and REALLY HOPE) that Hussie would go there.

Actually it couldn’t be a post-scratch session as the scratch only changes where the meteors with the players go.  The Callie’s on the other hand were not created through ectobiology but biologically. 

How did Glyobolb (no idea how to spell that) manage to release the Vast Glub if Feferi had prototyped her and entered LODAG?

Gl'bgolyb released the Vast Glub, then died and fell into Feferi’s kernelsprite right before she entered.

Not quite a fact but Gl’bgolyb is supposed to be pronounced "Glub Glub"

Has it ever been said or hinted at that the non-player scratch selves (Signless, Dave's Bro, Roxy's Mom, ect) are in the dream bubbles or have different bubbles, especially since some like the Condesce and Nanna have extremely important roles in the alternate sessions anyway?

It hasn’t been seen or mentioned at all in canon so a guardianbubble probably doesn’t exist.

The “Typheus” in Jade’s house is actually a Typheus minion.

How did Vriska's god tier hapened?I mean, all the 8loody thing and torturing Tavros to kill her........

Aradia beat the shit out of Vriska to the point where she was dying so Vriska made Tavros take her to her Questcocoon where she eventually died and ascended. 

Jake died at [s] game over a heroic death , being a prospit dreamer doesn't mean he will come to life because of the god tier ?

A Heroic death means he stays dead.  But he’s still alive in the retconned timeline.

Dunno if this one has been answered, but did we ever find out what Aranea was doing with all those mind-controlled Damaras?

She used them to move the ship to Derse and to move the planets in [S] Gameover.

What were the totems used in the alpha kids sessions to bring them into the medium? I was talking about it with my friend and we know the ones for the beta session (John is apple, Rose is bottle, Dave is egg, and Jade is tree) but we can't remember any of them for the alpha kids. I also think that there's some sort of meaning in them (like why each person got that specific thing as their totem) but I'm not sure what.

Roxy and Dirk’s weren’t shown but

Jake’s was a little Cherub guy

Jane’s was a tree

Is Vriska X Meenah likely to come back, meeting through sleeping and appearing in the bubbles still, or has my ship eternally sunk?

The way I see it it still exists.  Because if John changing Vriska’s death meant that Vriska never was a ghost she never would have formed her pirate crew and John never would have got his powers.  So GhostVriska has to exist because if she doesn’t John wouldn’t have gotten the ability to change the past.  Plus GhostVriska recently underwent a huge design change, most likely so that we could distinguish GhostVriska from Vriska (Vriska). 

All I’m saying is why would Hussie go through the trouble of giving GhostVriska a new design if she was just going to stop existing in five pages?

if gamzee is immortal because clowns can't die then why did kurloz die?

Kurloz’s a mime not a clown

sorry i forgot but a just or heroic death means you stay dead or come back to live

Stay dead. 

why did hussie spend the time drawing two fantrolls in his style yo just kill them afterwords? why anything? hussie. that's why

He was paid $20,000 to do that though…

Where did the fantrolls show up? I missed them on my readthrough.

During Aranea’s exposition on cherubs

You off-handedly mentioned a GhostVriska redesign. I was curious what you meant, and if you knew about what page we notice said redesign. (are you talking about Ghost-Eyes Vriska?)

I meant this one.

Would it be correct to say, since in the retconned timeline Vriska never died, that FollowedTerezi'sAdviceAndDied!John never dated Vriska? And that from Vriska's perspective, she and John are almost dating?

Considering John just punched Vriska in the face, probably not.
