What exactly is Cal?

Lil Cal is a puppet who has been identified as a juju so his existence is an ontological paradox and he has no true point of origin. For a timeline see this post. 

Does Caliborn's masterpiece, particularly the fight that occured, take place before, during, or after John's retcon?

Caliborn’s timeline has always existed post-retcon.

did eridan ever go grimdark? (im very confused sorry ;;)

No, Eridan never goes grimdark.

What is the goal everyone is trying to reach in the game? I see all these events happening, but I don't see what they're trying to get. Are they trying to reach skaia?

The kids, the trolls, and the Condesce are trying to complete the session to create a new universe. Spades Slick has unknown intentions and Bec Noir and PM also have unclear motives. Jack English is possessed by Lord English so his motives can’t be benevolent. 

How are all the kids together? Aren't they in different sessions??

They all recently arrived in the Alpha kids’ session. The meteor gang traveled through the Furthest Ring which is the area in-between sessions. John and Jade travelled through the fourth wall into a different dimension and into a different fourth wall and now they’re all in the Alpha kids’ session. 

wait, if karkat never became godtier, where did all the pictures of him being the knight of blood come from???

That’s a doomed version of him.

Daily reminder that Karkat hardly ever uses the phrase 'fuckass'. Jade says it more times that Karkat does.

John and Karkat have said it once and Jade has said it twice. 

WaiT... What is exile??????

An exile is a carapacian who has been exiled from their place in the Medium to the post apocalyptic home planet of the player they command. They type in commands in the stations to their player and the player hears these commands as a voice in their head. 

Why did Terezi wake up early?

When she was mind controlled to look into the Alternian sun, her dream self looked at Skaia at the same time and woke up.

What are the powers of all the trolls blood (Brown talking with animals, etc.)

Red bloods can have telekinesis.

Brown bloods can control beasts.

Yellow bloods can have telekinesis and some may have the eye rays.

Blue bloods can have mind control powers.

Purple bloods can have chucklevoodoos.

What the Pre-Scratch trolls are based off of

Hussie never intended to intoduce the Pre-scratch trolls outside Meenah and Aranea so to save some time he based them on Internet Archetypes

Meenah and Aranea being relevant to the plot aren’t based on anything but themselves.

Damara- the Naughty Schoolgirl trope + Google Translate

Rufioh- Rufio from Hook obviously

Mituna- 4Chan user

Kankri- SJW

Meulin- New tumblr user

Porrim- Feminist

Latula- Rad 90′s Gamers

Horuss- Otherkin and Bad Dragon Dildos

Kurloz- Satanic Mime

Cronus- and then what ; )  + “fake” otherkin

Sorry, but can you explain sburb? Like what do you do what is the archagent and how do you win. Thank you

Sburb is an immersive simulation that transports you into the Medium. The player’s goals are to build up their houses to each of the seven gates to reach Skaia and complete their own Denizen quests to win the grist hoards. The Space player specifically will breed frogs until they produce the Genesis Frog. On the Battlefield, which is the planet at the center of Skaia, a war is waging between the Prospitians and the Dersites. The Dersites are fated to win and the Black King will initiate the Reckoning causing all the meteors in the Veil to accelerate at Skaia. Skaia defends itself with portals, redirecting some of the meteors to Earth. The players have 24 hours to kill the Black King before the Battlefield is completely destroyed by meteors. After they defeat him they place the Genesis Frog at the center of the Battlefield and he’ll grow, eventually releasing the Vast Croak. A door underneath Skaia will appear in the shape of the logo which leads to the new universe.

Not really a forgotten fact since it happened like last week, but why were Vriska and Terezi arguing over who to use Kernels on to revive when Jane can just bring Nepeta Feferi and Eridan back to life?

Their corpses were mangled and their heads were cut off by Gamzee so Jane probably can’t resurrect them successfully. 

How many people run this blog, answers get posted so fast! Can i help out?

FAQ

tahwarts replied to your post: What the Pre-Scratch trolls are based …

whats the source for hussie never intending to introduce anyone except for meenah and aranea?

Of course, he actually didn’t intend to introduce Aranea and Meenah either but since they were important to the plot their characters got fleshed out a little more.

As for the source, in an old Q&A in response to someone asking if the 12 other trolls wold be introduced he said:

That would be such a shitload of trolls!!!!!

Do we need twelve more? I mean, if I introduced twelve more trolls, I might as well introduce another hundred. Right?

devourer-of-poptarts replied to your post:WaiT… What is exile??????
I thought only some of them heard it as a voice, like Terezi and Rose.

No, everyone heard the voices.  Rose and Terezi just heard it more clearly, probably due to them both being Seers.

snager-dragon:

forgottenhsfacts you ever get fanart before, brough? 

Nice

Which sessions Jack is Lord Jack and how did he get that way?

Lord Jack is from the Alpha kids’ session and he was taken over when he looked into Lil Cal’s eyes and was possessed by Caliborn. After this he gauged out his eyes and cut off his leg, replacing them with Lil Cal’s eyes and a golden spike respectively. 

Seeing as the Condesce plans to win the game/ claim the reward for herself. Could a citizen of Derse or Prospit do the same? (Spades Slick when he saw Skaia)

The Condesce wants the kids to complete the game so that she can resurrect the troll race in the new universe and rule over them. She herself cannot win the game because that would involve speaking to Echidna to claim the Genesis Frog and Echidna wouldn’t give the frog over to a murdering sociopath. Only the players can complete the session.

Aranea said that Jake was important to her plan so his powers must be important, right? But in the updates he has been treated like he's garbage. is it because mentally he isnt stable or is Vriska and some of the others just being mean?

Vriska is being a jerk to him because that’s just how she is and she doesn’t realize how powerful his godtier abilities are. 

How about a Jake fact?

Jake likes girls of a cerulean complexion which is something that he and his pre-scratch self have in common. 

How are rainbow drinkers and regular vampire lore (immortality, severe food allergies, etc.) different?

Kanaya states on this page that regular vampire and undead lore don’t apply to her Rainbow Drinker condition. 

on page ?s=6&p=008090 we see John tearing up. Do you think that this is because he's happy to have zapped into a great movie, or upset or something. Its been very confusing to me.

He was overwhelmed with nostalgia over his renewed love for Con Air.

Where is Nannasprite?

Still on LoMax possibly.

What does retcon refer to?

The series of changes John made to the timeline when he followed Terezi’s scarf instructions.

Why did the exiles blow up their base thingys?

So that Bec Noir couldn’t use them.

The Beta kids have collaborated on music and have a shared file.

Can we get a random Mayor fact?

The Mayor doesn’t have any nostrils but does have a sense of smell.

Why the trolls sleep in a horn pile?

There weren’t any recuperacoons on the meteor.

What do you mean by active/passive god tier? And which god tiers are consider as active/passive?

Calliope mentions active and passive classes here and here. Active classes exploit their aspect to benefit themselves and passive classes allow their aspect to benefit others. Some active classes include Thieves, Princes, and Lords. Some passive classes include Bards, Rogues, and Muses. 

How many Mods do you have?

FAQ

What are horrorterrors?

Already explained that.

who put the tea set and bed in skaianet labs? was it rose's mom?

Yes, Rose’s mom put them there.

Is it a fact or a common headcanon that highbloods are rarer than lowbloods?

Lowbloods have shorter lifespans than highbloods and Doc Scratch calls them common and that they have “strength in numbers” so yes, it is canon.

which alpha trolls made it to god tier in their session

Meenah and Aranea have confirmed their ascension. Mituna said he could not remember and Damara would not answer the question. The other alpha trolls said no.

So Bec Noir is essentially a cancer on two universes, right? I can't remember if the kids' and trolls' sessions count as different universes.

Noir is the ‘cancer’ that Karkat says he gave to the human’s universe. The sessions take place in the Medium which is separate from their universes. So yes, the kid’s and troll’s have different universes but only the human’s universe is cancerous. 

Is it mentioned how the alpha kids met?

Dirk and Roxy received technology from Calliope to chat with Jake and Jane from the future. In doing this she laid the foundations for their session.

is it "wiggler" or "wriggler"?

Wiggler

is lil' cal the first guardian of calliope and caliborn's session?

Sessions don’t have First Guardians, planets do. 

Was the situation in which Terezi was able to be close enough to figure out Karkat's blood color (their "moment") ever actually explained?

Their MOM3NT was never explained.

There’s 48 signs that the Trolls on Alternia have.

So ya know how Vriska said Echidna is like the mother of all Denizens? In greek mythology, Echidna was the mother of all monsters. Hussie is at his usual shenanigans. I just think its funny to mention

So Sburb/Sgrub is just sort of a thing that just exists within the mythos of Homestuck right? Like it just will always exist and will make new universes. It's not just that one dude made a game or something that does this stuff or anything?

Right, a version of Sburb is destined to arise in every universe. The code to create the game is carved in the Frog Temple so whoever has access to the temple will make the game. As such playing the game allows it to paradoxically create itself by sending the frog temple to the players’ planet during the reckoning.

When a sprite dies, do they end up in dreambubbles if they are available?

If the sprite was prototyped with a Sburb/Sgrub player then the player’s ghost will be in the bubbles, but not the sprite itself. This is seen with Tavris and Fefeta

What did the Horrorterrors whisper to Dave? Is it relevant?

They were asking him for help. They were being killed by Lord English so it’s sorta relevant.

On the post about Jade being awake early, you also had a list of others who had awoken early. On this list was Dave, and I don't remember ever seeing him awake before sburb began. Where was this?

His dreamself was awake but didn’t realize it.

Who is the "tyrant less an arm and an eye"? I've never heard of them but apparently Aradia mentioned them at some point

That would be Bec Noir.  He’s a tyrant with only one arm and one eye since. (Technically he has two eyes but one of them is cut so yeah)

random felt fact?

The Felt are leprechauns and they display their romantic intentions by dancing and singing riddles which means that Clover wanted to be in a relationship with Caliborn. 

After the game is beaten what will happen to all the sprites that are alive?

The details of the endgame situation in the game haven’t been discussed in-comic but my guess that the sprites may not be able to leave the Medium and enter the new universe with the players since they’re game constructs. I don’t want to say for sure though.
