caliborn more like caliDEAD

IM AFRAID YOURE MISTAKEN, YOURE THINKING OF MY SISTER

yUo are forgetting yoUr qUirk, my fair brother.

NO IM NOT, I KILLED YOU AND STOLE YOURE UPPERCASE U

How did Gamzee disease that universe??

He used chucklevoodoo to create the harlequin puppet to haunt John’s dreams which caused him to draw Harlequins on him wall which made Dad think John liked harlequins and got him that big one which John would prototype and then the Black Queen made everyone wear harlequin hates which prompted Jack to kill her, take the ring, and eventually become Bec Noir the unbeatable opponent that started the Reckoning early and fucked up the trolls.

I heard that on the 15th Homestuck's "masterpiece" will be complete. Does that mean the whole series is ending soon or just the current act?

MY MASTERPIECE WILL BE ENDING ON THE 15TH. HOMESTUCK WILL CONTINUE, PROBABLY FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 1.9 YEARS.

Hey are you ready to get your ass handed to you by the good guys? XD

THIS IS A TRICK QUESTION.
I WILL NOT BE GETTING MY ASS KICKED BECAUSE I GOT MY ASS KICKED ONCE AND DECIDED I DIDNT LIKE IT SO I WONT BE DOING IT AGAIN

You sure are sure of yourself even though the one who kicked your ass in the first place is with them.

YES WELL I HAVE GOTTEN STRONGER SINCE THEN AND NOW I ALSO HAVE THE CLOWN AND THE TINY ROBOT TO HELP ME

How was Dirk able to disappear like that after Game Over?

HE DID NOT DISAPPEAR HE WAS ENGULFED BY THE GLITTER

how meme are u caliborn

I AM THE BEST AT MEMES

When did we learn your planet's name? Was that just in the recent update? Also when was calliopes speech (to roxy I think) about the alpha session?

IT WAS THE TITLE OF TWO HOMESTUCK BAND CAMP ALBUMS AND WAS PRETTY UNANIMOUSLY THOUGHT TO BE ON OF THE CHERUBS PLANETS AND IT WAS CONFIRMED TODAY.

sorry if you answered this already but do you know the meaning of Sollux' blood ending right in the middle of his symbol on his shirt? after his fight with Eridan if i remember

It was most likely a reference to his ancestor the Psiioniic.  As it made his symbol look more like a Ψ

What's the significance of Caliborn having the 13th Zodiac sign as his symbol? Besides the whole snake motif does he have a more closer relation to the trolls zodiac than does Calliope?

EMBARRASSINGLY MY SISTERS SYMBOL IS AN OLDER VERSION OF THE ONE I BARE.  IT’S CALLED THE OPHIUCHUS AND ITS THE SERPENT BEARER.

jane's birthday is 11/11 or 4/13?

IT IS 4/13

What was the deal with the Dirk created by Jake? the one that vanished.... was he real or what?

BRAIN GHOST DIRK WAS REAL BUT THEN STOPPED BEING REAL WHEN JAKE RAN OUT OF EXCESS HOPE-ENERGY.  HE ESSENTIALLY IS A MAGIC GHOST BABY PIGGYBACKING OFF OF JAKE AND DIRKS POWERS SINCE HE IS ANOTHER SPLINTER OF DIRK AND WAS CREATED THROUGH JAKES HOPE ABILITIES.

AND THE DIRK THAT DISAPPEARED INTO THE GLITTER WAS ALSO REAL. HE WAS THE ORIGINAL.

how is gamzee still alive if he's not god tier? I'm pretty sure getting shot multiple times is fatal.

HIGHBLOOD TROLLS ARE VERY DURABLE.

Do you know where I could read the ud8 on iPad because I don't have access to a computer and a lot of it doesn't work.

I DO NOT BUT MAYBE SOMEONE WHO DOES WILL REPLY TO THIS ASK OR REBLOG WITH A LOCATION.

What in God's name was able to kill the grand high blood then?? D8

OLD AGE OR THE VAST GLUB OR ANOTHER HIGHBLOOD MOST LIKELY

DOES THE PRE-RETCON TIMELINE STILL EXIST OR WAS IT ALTERED SO THAT NEVER HAPPENED

It technically never happened.

Caliborn why does Gamzee look like a buttplug? I mean, it is a pretty accurate representation but still...

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT

Hey Caliborn. I would like to take a moment to say: CALLIOPE RULES (AND IS A SWEET PRECIOUS CINNAMON ROLL THAT NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS), CALIBORN DROOLS (AND ALSO HOPEFULLY DIES BECAUSE HELL YOU ARE THE RUDEST CHERUB I KNOW)

I AM DROOLING BECAUSE I AM ABOUT TO EAT THE CINNAMON ROLL THAT IS SO PRECIOUS TO YOU UNTIL IT IS NOTHING BUT CRUMBS FLOATING THROUGH THE INFINITY OF PARADOX SPACE tUmUt

I was under the impression that the Summoner killed the Grand Highblood.

YOU ARE MISTAKEN, IF ANYTHING THE GRAND HIGHBLOOD KILLED THE SUMMONER BUT WE DO NOT KNOW IF THAT HAPPENED.

Is it known where Calliope's hiding place (like with the stage etc) is located? and what exactly it is? It looks like what was left after Caliborn entered his session...

HER HIDING PLACE IS SOMEWHERE IN THE FURTHEST RING HIDDEN AWAY AND IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND HARD TO FIND.

IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE EXACTLY IT IS LOCATED PLEASE TELL ME BECAUSE I LOST MY SISTER TO MURDER SOMETIME AGO AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE HER AGAIN. AND I DEFINITELY WOULDN’T HAVE HER DOUBLE KILLED AT ALL THAT IS NOT MY INTENTION I JUST MISS MY SISTER.

Caliborn, what's up with your typing? DON'T YOu uSuALLY TYPE LIKE THIS?

NO, DO YOU PEOPLE EVEN KNOW MY STORY? AFTER MY SISTER WAS MURDERED I STOLE HER U AND HER BLOOD COLOR TO PAINT MY TEXT.

Hey, quick question. Who DOES have John's wallet right now?

THE LAST TIME IT WAS SEEN ARADIA HAD IT IN THE NOT SO DISTANT PAST

hey i was just curious about something. so jade and jake lived all alone for years right? is that actually possible? i mean how can a child survive in an island without anyone at all. kinda same with dirk and roxy i think. did this ever explained?

Dirk and Roxy were left supplies by their ancestors.  Jade had Bec to take care of her so she wasn’t really alone.  Jake on the other hand lived alone on an island full of monsters from the time he was like five, and he’s not the brightest guy, I have no idea how he survived.

Okay, that was a fun 413 gimmick but I think I’m done being Caliborn now.

Obviously not everyone enjoyed it considering I lost like two hundred followers today.  They obviously don’t have any 413 spirit.

About the survival thing : why would Roxy and Dirk learn to speak and write if they were raised by basically themselves ? Robo-nannies maybe ? x)

TV probably

Can you explain Caliborns transformation into LE? Im sorry for bothering, keep up with the good blog

Well he bit of his leg and broke his tooth and got gold versions of them. Obviously the next step would be to invest in a pair of Anchor Arms and put billiards in his eye sockets.

do you happen to have a link to the upd8 vines or maybe caliborn's vine account???

They aren’t actually vine.

1. the sound icon in the corner is the one used in the other Homestuck flashes, not the ones located on vines.

2. Vines have their audio buttons on the bottom right corner, not the top left.

3. Vines always link to their vine page even if embedded.

4. If it was an actual vine it’d be viewable on ios devices.

Has the Psiioniic been killed, or is he still alive in the Condesce ship?

He was killed by the Vast Glub which is why it took Condy 612 years to get back to Alternia.

Does that mean that the timeline of the Alternian universe is Vast Glub -> 612 years -> vast honk -> condy and damara fight -> sn0wman shot, universe ends?

Switch “Vast Honk” with “Condy and Damara Fight” and yes

i know you guys responded as caliborn most of the day, but i think the mods of forgottenhsfacts need to actually go back and reread homestuck

I plan on rereading it once the semester ends. Might I ask why you think I need to though?

What exactly is the Vast Honk?

The Vast Honk occurred when Lord English entered the troll universe and made a loud honking noise.

Wasn't the Vast Honk after Snowman was shot too?

You’re right, I forgot that LE wasn’t able to enter the universe until it was destroyed.

because most of your answers are 80% wrong or only half right. sourcing things would be a good bet too.

I’m sorry but I’m only human and Homestuck is a complicated story. Sometimes I remember something wrong, if someone corrects me I make sure to let people know I was wrong and to give them the correct information. I currently have over seven hundred messages in my inbox and I try to answer as many questions as possible when I’m on. But I just don’t have enough time to put thirty minutes of research into each answer. I know I’m flawed and could use a refresher, that why I’m planning to reread it.
I appreciate the criticism though.

so squiddles made the troll's universe, and the trolls made the human's universe, so who made the cherub's universe?

The humans

I forgot, who were the eight or so people who went to Derse? I think Vriska was there alongside them?

Rose, Dave, Vriska, Karkat, Kanaya, and Terezi.  They went to rescue Jake and Roxy.

Can you please explain how Grandpa Harvey was able to get dream Jade's corpse to their island home? Or for the man to get into the Medium in the first place? The other guardians were dragged along with the kids, but Grandpa Harley was dead by then. And how did he time travel to the future in order to collect the said corpse and come back again in order for Jade to become familiar with her dead dreamself?

He used the teleporters in the Frog Temple in the past but since the Medium doesn’t exist until the players enter he was teleported into the future where he collected Jade’s dead dreamself and brought it back into the past with him.

on some panels I saw it showed Gamzee and dirk and Gamzee was crying, when did that happen?

I think you are referring to [S] Ride aka the best christmas present ever, where Arquiussprite is formed.

I don't really understand the update. Is it okay to recap or dumb it down please?

Okay, some backstory first.  The juju that gave John his retcon powers, we knew that it was Caliborn’s and it was destined to be used by him once as a weapon and then once against him.  Obviously John using it is against him.

So in today’s update we saw Caliborn get the juju and he used it as a weapon and then banished it to the furthest ring with the Ring of Void.  The weapon allowed him to take the souls of the Beta kids and trap them inside so they are effectively stuck in a house, homestuck if you will.

Then Caliborn beat up Jake, Jane and Roxy and had a most macho duel with Dirk and defeated him but Jake got back up and started to emit a bunch of Hope energy.

(Keep in mind that all of this is happening in the future so the kids aren’t trapped or beat up yet)

I thought somebody should have find Jake and Jade... They lived in our world I mean and just some ship or maybe a helicopter or else should have see and save them. Or maybe the island was soo far away from everything. Idk ._.

You under estimate how large and empty the Pacific Ocean is.

You said at some point high blood trolls are very durable and Feferi is the highest of the high bloods. How does gamzee get shot multiple times with a machine gun and lived almost like it didn't happen and Feferi died by one shot of a science wwand ?

Yes, well Gamzee while being a high blood troll is also a clown, and you can’t keep down the clown so that make him like a thousand percent more durable.

because gamzee went on his rampage (inferred from nepeta's still-dead body), wouldn't sollux be blind / lispless from what karkat dropped him down the stairs?

Yes.

When was the first time Dave's eyes were shown as red? I need to know for a friend... Thanks!

[S] Jade: Wake up

but if Aradia's real-self was dead, how could her dream-self ascend to godteir?

Using her Sacrificial Slab.

I'm sorta new to the hs fandom and I was wondering if 6/12 is celebrated the same way 4/13 is?

Not really.  There might be some stuff since it’s also Karkat’s wrigglingday but nothing near the magnitude of 4/13.

In the upd8 where vriska and meenah are hanging out together are they in the dark carnival? and does that mean there is a chance the GHB and other ancestors might make an appearance since dream bubbles are memories and Gamzee hasn't seen the dark carnival and isn't dead and I don't think beforus had a dark carnival for Kurloz to remember...

Gamzee’s planet was the Land of Tents and Mirth and it’s been indicated the the dancestors’ planets were similar so I assume that they were in one of the Beforan trolls’ memory, possibly even Meenah’s.

I have seen the terms "waste/gent of piss" fly about a few times, are they just very popular crack classpects or do they appear in canon somewhere?

Gent is canon.  Hussie’s said on his formspring that Fedorafreak had ascended and was the Gent of Piss. 

Waste is fanon. It came about because Hussie wore a space shirt in canon and people assigned that class to him.

Is there really any declarative proof that the humans created the cherubs? It seems more like speculation, but a speculation I would support nonetheless.

Go back to the pesterlog Aranea had with Meenah right after she came back to life.  Aranea gives the reasoning for coming back as  “ ARANEA: If I can stop this universe from 8eing cre8ted, then the young Lord of Time will never have hatched in the first place.”

As well as Earth and the Trolls’ Meteor being in the cherub universe, we can assume that the children’s session creates the cherub universe.

I'm pretty sure the anon who asked about Aradia going god-tier even though she was already dead meant how did her dream self get to the slab in the first place. Unlike the other players who's Sacrificial Slab's were on their planets, hers was located on Derse, so when Jack destroyed it it caused her to die while on the slab, thus ascending her to god-tier

Quest Beds/Cocoons are located on the player’s planets.  Sacrificial Slabs are usually located in the center of Derse and Prospit’s moons.

Aradia’s was an exception and hers was in the center of Derse and her dreamself was placed on it since she died before the game started.

are we chill to ask big multi-part questions pertaining to the mechanics of SBURB/SGRUB but not necessarily a specific plotpoint the comic itself? (like say if we're planning out a fansession or a fantroll's happenings within SGRUB)

I would recommend reading the wiki page on Sburg first.  If you still have questions afterwords you can ask and I can try to help.
