How did the grand highblood die?

Old age ┐(´-`)┌  It was never stated.

You mentioned Snowman having an origin, and that got me wondering what said origin is.

She was the A2 Black Queen and she got exiled.  Doc Scratch picked her up in the desert and was like “Wanna join my gang?” and she was like “s’okay”.  Then Doc Scratch made her a universe and gave her a hat with a eight on it. And that’s pretty much exactly how it happened.

I'm sorry if it's complicated to answer, but I never understood very well what happened to the bunny that John had. how was it created? who gave it to who? etc, etc. would you mind explaining or sending a link of the explanation?

Okay this is a long story. 

PRE - SCRATCH

The bunny came from the movie Con Air, Dave got it for John on his birthday. John, in a Con Air reenactment gives the bunny to baby Rose in the ectobiology lab and she is sent with it on the meteor. 

Rose eventually repairs the bunny with wool and was going to give it to John for his birthday but John found it in her room and took it. 

He would later give it to baby Jade in yet another Con Air reenactment and she was sent with it on her meteor. 

Jade with her penpal Jake upgraded the bunny with mechanical parts and weapons and gave it to John for his birthday and he named it Liv Tyler.

Liv Tyler would eventually stop the Tumor from being stolen and bring it to Dave and Rose.  He was with them when it exploded and he died, rip in peace.

POST - SCRATCH

The bunny Rose was sent with was given to Roxy who put it in a wizard costume and gave it to Jane for her 13th birthday

The bunny Jade was sent with was given to Jake who put it in an Indian Jones costume and gave it to Jane for her 13th birthday.

Technically those were all the same bunny.

Now the bunny from the post-scratch version of Con Air was in Dirk’s Bros museum.  Dirk stole it and built Lil’ Seb around it and gave him to Jane.  Lil’ Seb eventually got knocked into ocean on Earth where he stayed until he was found by Gamzee and given to Caliborn.

Scratch made Snowman a whole universe? I can't believe he's that strong. Do you remember what panel?

You misunderstand.  He made Snowman the embodiment of the Troll Universe.  He made her into a universe.  Which is why the troll universe ended when Spades killed her.

Was it ever stated if Redglare was blind or not?

She was not.

What is Calliope's status? Is she still alive in the dream bubble with Jade and Jane?

That’s where Calliope is but she’s not alive. She’s been dead for a while now.

This might have been answered already, so sorry if someone already asked, but we're the hands and ink blots already there in the old panels the ENTIRE time or did huss just super edit? Thanks!

Hussie retconned that shit, he edited it in.  They weren’t always there.

i still dont understand the relationship between jake and caliborn (like with lord english and jake english, and jakes shirt logo) could you please explain ?

Okay so Jake’s Grandma was raised by Condy and she knew that Condy worked for English and hated him so Grandma made her own company to compete with Crockercorp.  To sprite the Condesce, Grandma named her company after English and design all the produces in his image and even changed her last name to English just to piss the Condesce off.

Why doesn't Kanaya have a dreamself again? When did her dream self die, when it was killed by Bec Noir?

Yeah, Bec Noir killed it.

The troll universe ended? Forgive me, I'm a bit rusty on my homestuck, but what happened after it ended?

Well, a lot of stuff was destroyed.  Some of the stuff still exists inside the Green Sun though.

caliborn also seems to plan on taking Jake's surname for himself "after defeating him"

And thus the paradox origin of the last name English.

IRT the ask on His Honourable Tyranny, why would he have black blood? If it was age, wouldn't this suggest that the condesce has black blood too? I get the feeling if limeblood/sopor theories are true, maybe its degenerating/unhealthy sopor blood?

His Honorable Tyranny isn’t a troll. He was a monster.

how did Condy get to work for English? I know LE is making her stay alive for all these years (right? Correct me if I'm wrong), but when did she have him do all this?

Condy has been expanding her own lifespan. English wasn’t involved with that. She began serving LE when she killed the Handmaid and inherited her curse.

Do you know how the retcons work for new readers? Are arms/Johns/oil there when they first see the panels or are they added later once they get to the point where John changes stuff? (I assume it is possible to do something like that with a webpage, but I'm no expert)

They’re there on the first read.

I already asked this, but maybe it got lost or I missed the answer - do you know if trolls on Alternia are supposed to live isolated, due to their violent nature? Every troll we've seen lives alone in the middle of nowhere (except for Sollux, but on his building there's only his lusus, so we don't know if there are other trolls around), but in the game footage there are train stations and cities and stuff, so I don't know how it works anymore.

Karkat had neighbors. One of them got killed and he invited Terezi to move out of her treehouse and into the empty hive.

Is there any facts this blog hasn't forgotten? :D

I haven’t forgotten when Hussie said that Sollux was short for Solluxander

Was Latula blind?

No, she could see but not smell

Who is "His Honorable Tyranny"? It doesnt sound familiar :/

He was the head of the Alternian justice system, until Mindfang killed him that is.

The way I understand it, each session of Sburb creates a new instance of the Medium (with a new instance of Skaia) within paradox space. Am I interpreting that wrong? If not, what happens to that instance of the medium/Skaia when a Scratch is made?

You’re right, a new medium is created for each session.

Do you know if the dreambubbles are linked to each other? Like, are they all the same onirical place or are they separate worlds, each with their own ghosts who can't interact with ghosts in other bubbles?

They are separate and it’s really difficult for a ghost to move from one bubble to another, but not impossible.

am I in trouble if I skipped over the meenah flash game things

I’d recommend against it but anything plot important learn in the flashes can be picked up through dialogue later in the story.

Could you tell me exactly what happened with the Green Sun during [S] Cascade?

It was created.

I've always been confused about this. Aranea and Vriska have the same abilities right? They can control certain trolls and control humans sleeping patterns, but in [S] Game Over Aranea was controlling the sword that killed Jake and Jane. I thought telekinesis was the Megido's ability only. Am I wrong?

Yes, Aranea was controlling several Damara ghosts to move things for her.

Hey can I ask how the trolls and kids were able to travel to each other's planets even before reaching god tier?

The gates above their planets lead to other planets.

On page 003953, we learn that Terezi uses her cane like nunchucks. But later, I think it's during [S] Cascade, we see her using her caneswords. Is this just a continuity thing, or did I just miss something?

Those were two different canes.

What was the Handmaids curse?

She was forced to serve Lord English and her lifespan was extended.  

Why don't the alpha kids have sprites? (like nannasprite or davesprite, not their icon sprites)

They do, or did I guess, Tavrissprite and Fefetasprite both exploded.  But Arquiussprite and Erisolsprite are still around.

supposing Gamzee still got involved in the new retconned timeline

mod T im terrified of your homestuck knowledge

Wait, when did Cal get the bunny?

Lil Seb got knocked into the ocean on Earth and he stayed there for a really long time until Gamzee found him and gave him to Caliborn.

YES MY SECRET IT OUT. IT IS I YOUR LORD CALIBORN. YOU WONDERED HOW I CAN KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT HOMESTUCK AND NOW IM TELLING YOU THAT I LEARNED IT ALL BY WATCHING THE SCREENS ON MY PLANET THAT I WORKED SO HARD TO UNLOCK. IT WAS A LONG JOURNEY BUT NOTHING I COULD NOT ACCOMPLISH WITH MY GREAT AND MIGHT SWAG. AFTER THE SCREENS SHOWED ME MANY THINGS I DECIDED TO FORGE A TUMBLR AS A PLACE TO CONTINUE MY MASTERPIECES. I KNEW IT WOULD BE CHILDS PLAY FOR ME SINCE I HAD ALREADY CONQUERED THE DEVIANTARTS AND THE VINE. WHILE TO YOU ALL IT SEEMS LIKE IVE BEEN POSTING FOR YEARS IT FOR ME HAS ONLY BEEN A FEW DAYS. I DECIDED TO GO UNDERCOVER SO PEOPLE WOULD NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY MY COOLNESS. DID YOU EVER WONDER WHAT THE T IN MOD T STOOD FOR? BECAUSE IT STOOD FOR TIME WHICH IT WHAT I HOLD DOMINION OVER AS ITS LORD.

Probably a stupid question, but what is Hussie's class?

THAT PIECE OF TRASH IS A WASTE OF SPACE

How did the Handmaid start serving Lord English? I completely forgot :/

THE CUEBALL GUY RAISED HER TO SERVE ME BUT SHE RESISTED SO I PUT A MIGHTY CURSE ON THAT BITCH THAT MADE HER SERVE ME TILL SHE DIED HAHAHAHAHAHA

chronologically speaking, how long about did it take for Caliborn's art to improve from just scribbles to how it is now?

IT ONLY TOOK ME A FEW MONTHS. ITS VERY IMPRESSIVE HOW MUCH I IMPROVED IN SUCH A SHORT TIME. IM SURE ALL YOU WATCHING AT HOME ARE EXTREMELY JEALOUS OF MY ART SKILLS.

How much swag are you Caliborn?

11 SWAG

Where is it stated specifically in canon that Caliborn is Lord English?

YOU SHOULD READ TODAY’S HOMOSUCK UPDATE, I MAKE IT PRETTY CLEAR THAT ONE DAY I WILL BE THE BEEFED UP VERSION OF MYSELF AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE.

how come when Jade became a god tier, she absorbed Jadesprite, but when Dave became a god tier, he DIDN'T absorb Davesprite? o:

THIS IS AN EASY ONE. ITS BECAUSE THAT BITCH PROTOTYPED HER SPRITE WITH HER DREAMSELF WHEREAS THAT COOL GUY’S SPRITE WAS PROTOTYPED WITH DOOMED TIMELINE VERSION OF HIMSELF. AND WHEN YOU DIE PN A QUEST BED YOU BECOME YOUR DREAMSELF.

Caliborn, who's your favorite homestuck character?

AS IF YOU EVEN NEED TO ASK, OBVIOUSLY ITS MAPLEHOOF WITH MY JUJU LIL CAL COMING IN A CLOSE THIRD RIGHT AFTER MYSELF.

Caliborn, would you do the naughty with Dirk?

I WOULD LIKE INTERATE THAT WHILE I AM BEING CALIBORN FOR THE DAY THIS IS NOT BECOMING A ASK CALIBORN BLOG AND WILL FUNCTION AS USUAL SO DONT SEND IN ASKS THAT ARENT ACTUALLY ASKING ANYTHING OF RELEVANCE , BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION I MIGHT BE AS SCANDALOUS AS TO HOLD HIS HAND BUT ANYTHING FARTHER THAN THAT WOULD JUST BE PLAIN DISGUSTING, I DO HAVE SOME CLASS YOU KNOW.

How did Gamzee go godtier and how did he end up raising Calliope and Caliborn?

THAT STUPID HONKING MORON IS NOT GOD TIER ITS JUST A FUCKING COSTUME. AS FOR HOW RAISED ME AND MY DEAD SISTER, HE USED TIMETRAVEL.

how did Gamzee use time travel... ?

HE USED A TIME MACHINE HE GOT FROM SOME BITCH IN ONE OF THOSE DREAMBUBBLES

Was there no one else living in Dave's apartment.... At all?

UNKNOWN BUT THAT DIRK LOOK A LIKE THAT LIVED WITH HIM HAD A LARGE SUM OF EARTH CURRENCY SO HE COULD HAVE OWNED THE WHOLE BUILDING FOR ALL I KNOW

I'm a little confused as to how the hell your session even worked. I get that it was far from normal, even compared to all the other messed up ones, but that's about it. Something about playing planetary billiards??

I DONT KNOW WHAT BILLIARDS IS BUT HERES HOW MY SESSION WORKED. I HAD TO DO A BUNCH OF BORING SHIT WHICH LET ME TALK TO MY DENIZEN. HE GAVE ME TWO CHOICES ONE THAT WAS STUPID AND THAT I WOULD NEVER CHOOSE AND ONE THAT LET ME CONQUER WORLDS AND KILL THING. AFTER I PICKED THE OBVIOUS CHOICE SKAIA EXPLODED INTO FIFTEEN PLANETS. I HAD TO CONQUER EACH ONE IN ORDER EXCEPT I HAD TO SAVE THE EIGHTH ONE FOR LAST FOR SOME REASON. EACH PLANET HAD A TIME LIMIT THAT GOT SHORTER AS I WENT FROM ONE PLANET TO ANOTHER. THEY ALSO HAD MINIONS THAT GOT STRONGER AS I PROGRESSED AS WELL. TO CONQUER THE PLANET I HAD TO GO TO ITS CORE AND GET A CUEBALL BOMB WHICH I HAD TO USE TO LAUNCH THE PLANET INTO THE BLACK HOLE. AND EVERY TIME A CONQUERED A PLANET I GOT A MINION GUY WITH A COLORED HAT MOST OF THEM WERE PRETTY USELESS. AFTER I DESTROYED ALL THE PLANETS MY HOME TURNED INTO THE LAND OF COLORS AND MAYHEM AND EVENTUALLY I’ll TAKE MY PUPPET MINIONS AND KILL YALDBOOB FOR WHICH I WILL BE GIVEN IMMORTALITY FOREVER AND THE ABILITY TO KILL WHATEVER I WANT.

Today is my birthday, an i have been greeted by an onslaught of Caliborn on my dash. Today is a good day.

WHAT IS A BIRTHDAY

Caliborn, what spontaneous new art medium will you use next to portray your tragic life story and rise to power? Personally, I'm hoping for finger puppets, but you only have like what, three fingers on each hand?

I WILL HARNESS THE POWER OF GOANIMATE TO MAKE HOMOSUCK THE MOVIE

When you ascended to god tier why didn't your tooth and leg heal? Are you faking god tier like your clown friend?

THE CLOWN IS NOT MY FRIEND HE IS MY HENCHMAN. HOW DARE YOU PUT THAT PIECE OF SHIT ON MY LEVEL. tUmUt

This has become an Ask Caliborn blog. Happy 4/13

THIS IS NOT AN ASK CALIBORN BLOG. THIS IS A BLOG WHERE I EDUCATE YOU INFERIOR BEINGS ABOUT THE TRUTHES OF HOMESTUCK.

Oh my god, I started it. I started making you Caliborn.

HOW COULD YOU MAKE ME CALIBORN WHEN I WAS ALREADY HIM

How Karkat gave cancer to that one universe?

HE DIDNT, HE JUST THINKS HE DID BECAUSE HES A SELFLOATHING PIECE OF CRAP. THE CLOWN TROLL WAS THE ONE THAT ACTUALLY DISEASED THE UNIVERSE.

Is homestuck trash?

VERY MUCH SO
