Do you think a troll could be colorblind? Like red-green or blue-yellow? Would this have an effect in their veiws of the hemospectrum because they can't see all of the different blood colors?

There’s a theory that Sollux’s is a type of colorblind which would explain why he doesn’t care about/understand the hemospectrum. (You can google “Sollux colorblind” to find some examples)

Do you look up some of these answers or is your knowledge of Homestuck just that good?

If I don’t know something 100% I usually look it up just to be sure. I also frequently look up specific pages to use as sources.

Was the prize that the alternian trolls supposed to win the same thing that gave john his weird teleporty Powers?

Their prize was to rule over the human universe as gods

Why don't the dreambubbles hold the ghosts of the past sessions? Like the 42 squiddles and such?

They didn’t exist. After Bec Noir destroyed Prospit and Derse Feferi convinced the horror terrors to make them.

What does the f in flarp stand for I only remember vriska saying that she thinks it means fun but I'm not too sure

It’s been suggested that the f stands for fatal which makes sense but it’s never been stated in canon.

in which universe do calliope and caliborn live

It should be the universe created in the Alpha kids’ session.

Do you know if a heroic death still counts if the person is fully aware of how heroic it is?

Yeah, it still counts

it might seem silly, but in a place like the furthest ring, wouldn't the dream bubbles ALWAYS have existed? maybe they're only exclusive to feferi and her friends shrugs

I’d like refer you to [S] Jade: Wake Up and the pesterlog on the page after it.

im pretty sure caliope and caliborn live on the alpha kids earth, just in the far distant future, just like the exiles

The Condesce had Jade bring Earth to the current B2 session so she could put it in the created universe. So yes, it’s the Alpha kids’ Earth, just in the distant future and in a different universe.

Regarding the slabs, aren't they only to be used once a player has no dreamself left? I feel like the Quest Beds were made to use the dreamself, and the slabs were made in the event there is no dream self left.

Yes

If the fact that Feferi hadn't created the dream bubbles yet is a reason for players from other sessions not to exist in them, how are the dancestors there? Meenah learned about the bubbles and killed all the players in her session to send them there before the scratch that created Feferi's universe in the first place.

The dreambubbles have pretty much always existed but they were unstable and kinda spooky (see [S] Jade: Wake Up). Feferi convinced the horrorterrors to make special bubbles that the protagonists could use. Time works differently in the furthest ring so while Feferi had only just had the bubbles created they had already existed for years. This can be seen with Jadesprite talking about all the friends they had made and acting like they’d been in the bubbles for a long time even though the bubbles had only technically been created s few hours earlier. So having the Beforus Trolls in the special bubbles Feferi had set up is totally possible.

how exactly sollux came out of his dreambubble if he was dead

He was also half alive.

But Aradia's GT happened from her dreamself dying on the slab? So was Dave's? I can't be arsed to look into it but probably more too? I THINK it's for when there's ONE self left, regardless of if it's dreamself or not.

Yes

who died first, nepeta and equius or feferi?

Feferi

Are you ready for tomorrow?

I sure hope so,

how did jack come to be?

Which one? There’s kinda four of them.

Sorry if you've already answered this before, I'm a new follower, but why is Meenah's group considered the alpha trolls? That would make Karkat's group the betas then, right?

Yes, it’s based on what version of the game they played.  Karkat’s group played the Sgrub Beta and Meenah’s group played the Sgrub Alpha.

Who died first, Feferi or Tavros? Not in terms of the order it is read it, but in terms of the timeline of events (like, we saw Tavros die first, but did he actually die first or was it time shenanigans?)

Tavros died first.

wait wait wait... so alive people can leave dream bubbles, and not alive people cant? is this right

Yes

So betas were told they wont go god tier (at least Terezi told smthn like that to Dave i remember) but they p much went god tier and even tho their dreamselves were dead alphas also did that.You think it can be somehow possible trolls to do that too?

Nope, there are no Sacrificial Slabs left so it’s impossible for any of the remaining trolls to get that tiger.

way is the quest of a space player? what is a forge?? sorry I'm a confused egg

The Quest of a Space player is to breed the Genesis Frog which will grow into the universe they get to rule if they win.  The forge is the volcano that accompanies the Space players to their land.

If a player had two lives, but used the sacrificial slab anyway, any idea what would happen to the other life?

My guess would be that the one that died on the Sacrificial Slab would die and the other life would become the main one.

Was it ever explained why Maplehoof was tiny in the Post-scratch universe?

Nope.

Think it's possible for the slabs to become available, like say the alpha prospit troll slabs from mituna theory or though John's powers?

It’s possible that that could happen but I doubt Hussie would take the story that way.

How did Aradia and Vriska get god tier? I don't really remeber that part...

Aradia’s dreamself was killed on her slab by Bec Noir.

Vriska got the shit beat out of her by Aradia and then made Tavros take her to her Quest Cocoon.

hey hello! about that trolls going to god tier thing... we didnt know about the sacrifical slabs until act 6, right? (im not really sure about that but yeah) what if theres a way we just dont know yet? homestuck's all about plot twists anyway

Act 5 Act 2 actually, that’s when Aradia ascended.

How many people are allowed in a canon session?

The highest we know of is 48

Is it always the job of the Knight to help the Space player achieve their quest, or is that just a parallel between the Beta Kids and the Beta Trolls? Do we know if Latula assisted Porrim with her quest?

It could be a session constant for the knight to assist the Space player in breeding.  We don’t know for sure, it could just be a coincidence.

Why the space plauer needs turn on the forge?

The Forge is used to change the Space players planet so they can breed the frogs.  Jade’s melted the snow and Kanaya’s drained the water on her planet.

how did meenah survive the bomb she set off?

She did not.

Could you explain WHY the highest is 48 please :?

The session that created the troll universe was played by 48 Squiddles

Do you think a player with the same aspect as a sacrificial slab could use it even if its not technically theirs?

Possibly, but there aren’t any left so I guess we’ll never find out.

Okay, I'm really sorry if someone already asked this, but seeing all these asks on my dash got me all confused and I just spent hours reading and researching the homestuck wiki, but I'm still really really confused on one thing. So the pre-scratch trolls, (with meenah, and kanri and stuff) created the beta trolls (with karkat and co.) and karkat created the ancestors (the sufferer, and co.)???? But in chronological terms, the ancestors came first, then pre-scratch, then post-scratch??

Nope, the pre-scratch trolls didn’t do any ectobiology.  Karkat made everyone.  And no, the Ancestors lived in the post-scratch universe.

My friend really screwed me up in class a while back with a question. If Terezi were to be a Rainbow Drinker, would she be able to taste the color of the blood , or just the blood itself?

I would say she’d taste the blood since when she tasted Kanaya’s blood she did not enjoy it.

okay, so when did each set of trolls exist chronologically? Which group came first chronologically speaking? this the part that confused me the most

The Beforan Ancestors (karkat end etc.’s pre-scatch selves), Meenah’s group, The Alterian Ancestors minus the handmaid, Karkat’s group, the Handmaid.

Could Kanaya rise on Jades quest bed?

No, Kanaya doesn’t have a dreamself.

How did dualscar die?

He was killed by the Grand Highblood

What page was it stated that the trolls' universe was created by squiddles?

Hussie said it back on his formspring

What do you think the upd8s will be about after caliborns masterpiece?

John and Roxy get back and meet up with the Meteor Gang.  Then Players vs. Condy.

What's the theory on psiioniic? I'd he supposed to be mituna or sollux?

Psiioniic is Mituna’s Post-Scratch self.

Wait, what do dream selves have to do with quest beds?

To ascend on a Quest Bed/Cocoon you need two lives.  Dreamselves are additional lives.

What would happen if snowman was hit with Crowbar's crowbar?

Good question since Crowbar’s crowbar is a juju breaker.  I think she’d get annoyed at him.  Snowman isn’t technically a juju since she has an actual origin.  Juju’s are all paradoxically formed and have no true place of origin.

How dod Miss Min8fang die?

The Summoner killed her.

I would argue that Feferi died first, since Terezi contacted Karkat as she put down her glasses when Tavros' body fell by her, right after Karkat dragged Sollux's body down the stairs. I hope this ask made sense... (p=005327)

They’d died pretty close together, after rereading a bunch of the section I can’t really tell who died first.  Terezi kissed Tavros at the same time Karkat kissed Kanaya.   Tavros fell for a while, landed, Terezi messaged Karkat, did her inspection and then kissed him. Whereas after Feferi and Kanaya were shoot Karkat spent a hot minute talking to Doc Scratch and Gamzee before kissing Kanaya.  After that he dragged Sollux out of the room, fell down the stair and replied to Terezi in the pesterlog you are talking about.  So it was really close.

So does that's mean that redglare and psiioniic might have a had a thing when they were younger?

Possibly.

why did summoner kill Mindfang?

He was had to.  Magic Cueball said so.

i'd like to mention that there wouldnt have probably been anthing between redglare and the psiionic because of heir age differance (they lived at completely different times as far as i know) and the fact that no other relationsips seemed to have carried over from ancestors to their respective players. like, at all.

I dunno, I kinda think the mom relationship between Porrim and Kankri carried over.

So I'm confused. I know terezi is blind and can smell/taste colors but does she just see things blurry until she licks them? (Judging from the panel close to her introduction where it shows her computer screen)

Yeah, stuff seems blurry to her until she licks it.  Here’s some examples.

What is Sollux's current living status?

He is 100% alive, but blind.

Sorry but I am confused, when Jane is with Jade and Caliope what story is she telling? Is she talking about what happened after John did all of the time shenanigans?

Yes she’s talking about how the events went down with the mystery surprise guest.
