when aradia was killed why did her ghost remain on alternia instead of going to the dream bubbles (which i think already existed because the alpha trolls reside in them)? is it because the game hasn't begun yet?
Has it explicitly been said why rose won't follow her quest?
After learning that their session was null, Rose no longer wanted to play by the rules or play to win. In this new session Rose may be motivated to complete her quest since it looks like she will need the grist hoards of her planet to help Skaia give the Genesis Frog nutrients.
do god tiers age? is it possible for them to alter their form to stay any age they want, or do they age normally? because if the latter is true that means sooner or later all of the kids are gonna be really fucking old and wrinkly and still wearing brightly colored pajamas
I’m not sure if the godtiers will age completely. My guess is that they’ll age until they’re adults and then stay that way, eternally youthful.
difficult question: was shown in the canon what each class does? If not all, what?And what do they do? (if you want to link instead of writing in the post, fine by me)
Calliope explains the abilities of Princes and Bards here and discusses Rogues and Thieves abilities here. The other classes are left to speculation but some fans have come up with a pretty cool mass Classpect post. A class determines how the player will use their aspect so each combination of class and aspect can have a wide range of powers.
If the game affects the players and the area around them, does that mean that the people(if there were any) living around John are dead? Or is it as if the Kids are the only humans left on Earth?
They were probably killed by the massive meteor that John escaped by entering the Medium. When the kids use their cruxite artifacts they’re transferred into the Medium, which is a separate dimension.
“In round two of Dave’s strife, he tries to escape from the relentless puppet pummeling, but bro slashes the ABSCOND command, just like he sliced all the other battle commands in round one. The message is clear. Dave can’t escape until he has been dealt the requisite daily helping of domestic abuse, wait I mean ninja training. What did I say there? Nothing. It was nothing. Homestuck is a lighthearted and funny cartoon dealing in highly abstract and stylized household situations, and nothing about it shall evoke the gritty realities experienced every day by real life victims of abuse. Now let’s watch this 30-something year old man pound the daylights out of his adopted 13 year old brother and biological son.”
Do Jaspersprite and Roxy have the same typing color? Because in the recent update they seem to, although I recall Jaspersprite having a slightly darker shade of pink/purple in the past updates.
Jaspersprite’s text color did change. This could be because there are now two Jaspersprites and the text was changed to differentiate the two. Or maybe it was a mistake by Hussie as he was feverishly churning out these panels. I guess we’ll never find out
Question- were the kids that were sucked into the house juju from a different timeline than the gameovers and the kids we have now? and their being in there is what enabled john to get his retconning powers? if so, then how did the timeline where they fought caliborn and create lord english happen?
They most likely are the kids we are seeing now, only in the future.
Has it ever been said what apartment floor Dave lived on?
He lives on the top floor which we first see in [S] Dave: Retrieve Dead Bird . We also know this because the top floor of the building is the only one that’s on his planet.
I'm so confused about Vriska yelling about not touching the sprites, because in the beginning of Homestuck, John highfived his sprite, before it was prototyped twice. By Vriska's logic, he should've gotten prototyped with it. ??? (I wouldn't put it past vriska to be wrong though lmao)
Sprites who’ve only been prototyped once have been touched before without being prototyped again so she’s most likely wrong.
What did rose see in the cueball(or what its called, the thing where you can see answers and what Doc Scratch was prototyped from) that made her grimdark? And didnt Vriskas ancestor have it first?
There are multiple cue balls that have been dispersed by Doc Scratch. She asked the cue ball whether the Horrorterrors were benevolent and this caused her to go grimdark. What she saw wasn’t shown but the answer was obvious: they’re not.
In part of the recent updates Vriska mentioned Gamzee has "plot armor" and that she will probably throw the fridge into the ocean on earth when all is said and done. Being that Lil' Cal is also in the ocean and both he and Gamzee are on Caliborn's earth, could this be how Gamzee got there? just chillin' in a fridge until earth dries up and a cherub lays an egg there?
Yes, that’s most likely how he got on post-scratch Earth unless he finds a way to get out of the fridge.
has hussie ever stated what he called each character since they were named by the fans at their introduction? like before karkat was named maybe he was "candy red/grey troll 2" or dirk as "orange human" in hussie's head
He said in an answer on his old formspring page that he based each of the trolls off of super heroes. As for the kids, he drew up their character profiles before Hs started but left the naming up to the fans in the suggestion box.

I think that whether or not the horrorterrors are benevolent is up to the reader. You could argue they aren’t by saying they took over Rose and corrupted her. You could also argue that they are as they gave Rose excessive amounts of power so that she could seek revenge on Bec Noir for killing her Mom.
It’s entirely debatable.

Do sprites prototyped with a player still retain their original class/aspect abilities?
We never see Davesprite use any sort of time travel and Jadesprite’s teleportation abilities were because she was prototyped with Bec. Aradiasprite never used any Time abilities either. Roseprite has mentioned that her “abilities” will help in placing the fenestrated panels at the most useful locations. As a Seer of Light, she can see can fortuitous paths and the best choices so it may be that a player must be a godtier and then be prototyped to retain their class/aspect abilities.
hey someone asked about davesprite being alive isn't there a chance he could still be alive and come to this timeline like jaspersprite did when he brought rosesprite to this timeline.
Pre retcon Davesprite’s fate is unknown. He could’ve easily hitched a ride on Lowas like Jaspersprite did or he could’ve died. But considering how important of a role he’s had so far it would be a little disappointing to just have him die off-screen.
Considering when Dream Selves and Prospit and Derse were explained, the least I could say would be I was a little confused. If you wouldn't mind explaining them in more simpler terms compared to Homestuck's explanation, it would be greatly appreciated! c:
A dream self is an extra body for the player that remains asleep until they’re woken up. Everyone’s dreamself can be awoken differently. They can change their appearance but lose this ability if the main body dies. If the player wants to ascend on their Quest Bed then the dream self must be alive. When the player dies on the bed, their dreamself will ascend to godtier. If the player uses their Sacrificial Slab, which is located in the center of the moons of Derse and Prospit, then they don’t need an extra body.
No they’re not dating currently. Dirk broke up with Jake during the Trickster part (epilepsy warning for that page) although later on he said he regretted how forceful he was with Jake’s courtship and that him and Jane should’ve talked earlier about their mutual interest in him.
Is luck in the domain of light players, or was that just Vriska, because I don't remember Rose doing anything that involved luck.
Luck and knowledge are the domain of all Light players. Aradia refers to Rose as a “knower of all fortune” because she can see the most fortuitous paths. Vriska is a Thief of Light that steals luck and information for herself. Aranea is a powerful Light player that has gathered knowledge over time and is prone to having certain 8r8ks in her favor.
In addition to his data structures book and ~ath manual, John also has a book about discrete mathematics, a book called “automata”, and manuals for what appear to be programming languages called “karat cake” and “disasterisk”. Source Submitted by ==>

John’s retcon powers were overshadowed by the end of that Act 1 flash. If you look close enough, somewhere in the left, you see a piece of john’s hair disappear in blue. The very same scene happens when John zaps out a thousand pages later, but you actually see his whole body.
Actually Hussie went back and added that after John got his powers. You’ll find oil from Lowas, John’s hand and even John himself spread throughout the comic, but they weren’t always there. Changing what was been previously stated is the definition of Retconning.
can you actually find a full out john in random pages after he touched the juju?
I don’t think so, the places he’s teleported are usually right outside the point of view that we get, but it is possible to catch parts of him on occassion as seen in the end of act 1 flash.
(Because we did, until just now) - On the 22nd, Hussie posted a small news update: there will not be a May 25th update, so we’ll have to wait until May 26th (in some indiscriminate European country) for this short break to end.
You once said that players only have 24 hours to beat the game, but wasn't it mentioned in comic that it took the trolls several months before they won?
Players have 24 hours to beat the Black King once he starts the Reckoning.
As far as I’m aware, the average amount of time before he starts the Reckoning is usually a few weeks like Karkat’s group had, although it might differ by session.
The Beta kids’ Reckoning started super early (Less than a day in) due to interference by Bec Noir.
what happened to vriska after terezi back-stabbed her in god tier?
She died, came back as a sprite, exploded, became a pirate, found some treasure, her crew left her, her pre-scratch ancestral counterpart turned out to be a dick, she realized that she was also a dick, then learned about the power of friendship and made out with a fish-lady.
Stopped Equius from possibly killing a bunch of people by being his Moirail, got Aradia, possibly the most helpful member in their session into the game, AND most importantly fucking allowed Fefeta to exist, poor, sweet, dear, precious Fefeta.
