are the trolls and humans still playing sburb/Sgrub to present?

The humans are still playing Sburb and the trolls are helping them, yes.

Do all Time player have the ability to reset a session.

If they possess needlekind and their session hadn’t been reset prior then yes.

i was under the impression that the trolls had 24 hours to beat the black king and spent those several weeks hiding in the veil AFTER they'd beaten him

That can’t be true because Karkat and Kanaya were frog breeding for weeks.  If they had left the Incipisphere after a day they couldn’t have done that.

wait are u doing asks yet or no

no

Is there a reason that Dirk made Jake kiss his head?

To wake up his dreamself that was unconscious 

When the session is won, who would be able to take over the new universe? Would it be all the kids, just the beta kids (since its their frog), or just the alpha kids (since its their session)?

It should be all the kids. 

There’s no basis for this in canon but I like to believe that anyone that walks through the end game door has some ownership to the new universe.

Can we have a random forgotten fact about Mr. Horuss Zahhak?

He starts all his sentences with a happy horse face 8=D

Wait, when they win the session, what will happen to the trolls??

They’ll go with them

have we ever seen dirk and jake have an actual conversation in homestuck? which doesn't involve brain ghost dirk or AR?

They’ve had just 1 one-on-one’s seen in canon.  It was  just Dirk asking where Jake is and Jake ignoring him.  

When do we find out Dave's eyes are red? I don't remember that part

It pops up a few times, the first of which I believe being [S] Jade: Wake Up

does anyone ever call karkat "kitkat" in comic or is that purely a fandom thing

Fanon

Is Caledfwlch even a thing someone can pronounce?

(Kal-ed-vool-ch) Caledfwlch being the original Welsh name of Caliburn, aka Excalibur

How long has it been since we've seen an underling on screen? (Not counting carapaceans)

I don’t want to say Act 6 Act 4, but I’m really thinking it was Act 6 Act 4, so it’s been like 2.5 years : /

Seeing as part of him is Dirk and Gamzee, can Lord English drop some sick rhymes?

Don’t forget that Equius was also a slam poet, 3/4th of Lord English are rappers, so there’s no doubt in my mind that the final fight of Homestuck will be a rap off between the Striders & Tavrosprite vs. LE

((How long does it usually take to respond to a message?))

It really depends, somewhere between 5 minutes and two years

about that ask pertaining if time players could reset timelines, could you explain that a little more? where does it say they can do that, and why is needlekind necessary?

In order to reset the timeline you need to initiate a Scratch.  If the player’s session had already been Scratched they can’t do it again.  In order for a Scratch to be initiated someone who has Needlekind must wield the Quills of Echidna  to scratch the session’s Scratch constructed located on the time player’s planet.

Have any of the megidos done anything you’d consider bad??

They’ve all kinda murdered some people, that’s kinda bad.

Can you explain lord english ,like how is he part dirk and all tht i didnt really get tht i do know dirk trapped his soul in cal and he got ripped and stuff (i do know about him when he was young like the journey w/ the leprechauns and the screens)

Lil Hal, Dirk’s computerized self was part of Arquiussprite who also got stuck in Lil Cal and became part of Lord English.  So essentially LE is part 13 year of Dirk 

i just saw a post saying how the beta kids souls were sucked out and are stuck in a house or something (hence homestuck) but ive never heard anything about that??? did i forget or is that not actually a thing cuz i got no explanation from that post

It happens on this page during their fight with Caliborn. 

apologies if this has been answered before, but im forgetting my lore. Did terezi go blind due to an incident or was she simply created blind?

Terezi was blinded by Vriska, she wasn’t born that way.

Im REALLY confused about what happened when the trolls went on a murder spree and half of them died. Could you just explain that part?

Vriska killed Tavros because she didn’t like him and she was also being a bitch. Gamzee killed Nepeta and Equius after he became sober and looked into Lil Cal’s eyes. Eridan dueled with Sollux and knocked him out. Feferi thought Sollux was dead so she went to stab Eridan and he killed her with his White Wand. He then killed Kanaya but she came back as a Rainbow Drinker and sawed him in half.

where is the lily pad with the door to the new universe located in a session? Is it in the center of skaia or?

It’s beneath Skaia.

regarding the ask just answered a bit ago about the Scratch and needlekind--I thought Bro initiated the Scratch in the beta kids' session, but doesn't he use bladekind?

Bro tried to initiate the Scratch but he didn’t succeed. A player needs Echidna’s quills to cause the Scratch. 

is it canon that eridan stutters on his vs and ws???

He doesn’t stutter, he has an accent.

I recall you said all of the trolls in Karkat's session were based off of superheroes? Who was based off of who?

I found these on Hussie’s old formspring page. 

Aradia - Jean Grey

Sollux - Cyclops

Tavros - Professor X

Nepeta - Wolverine 

Terezi - Daredevil and Two Face

Gamzee - Joker and Two Face

Eridan - someone from Harry Potter

Kanaya - someone from Twilight

Feferi - underwater hero

Equius - strong guy

Vriska - “ hell, take your pick from her powers buffet”

Karkat - “ :( ………. he has red blood at least!”

I'm really confused about all the Jacks, can you clarify?

Spades Slick is the Jack Noir from Karkat’s session, he changed his name to Slick to make the Black Queen mad since she hates Bilious Slick. Bec Noir is the Jack Noir from the Beta kid’s session. Lord Jack is the Alpha kid’s Jack Noir.

Was it ever stated in canon that Terezi has a 'crazy voice'

John calls her voice weird here.

can you tell me why all the adult trolls left alternia? is there another reason except for exploring space and conquering other planets?

The Condesce sent them away from Alternia to prevent another rebellion like the one caused by the Summoner.

Hey, is Jade's patrion troll Karkat or Tavros? My friend said it was Tavros, and I always thought it was KK. I'm confused.

Karkat is her patron troll. He helped her extensively throughout Act 5 Act 2 and helped her coordinate her plan to escape her session in [S] Cascade. 

its still not clear what happens after they finish the game. was it ever explained?

They go through the door that appears underneath Skaia once Bilious Slick is done growing and enter the new universe. 

Is what ever happens after they enter the door mentioned? I don't recall it ever being confirmed, unless Scratch or Hussie mentioned it somewhere.

No, we’ve never seen what happens after players enter the new universe.

Whats a Patron Troll? And how are you assigned one?

For the kids in story a Patron troll is just a troll that helped that specific kid a lot through their session.

So is Sburb won when the team kills the black king qnd successfully breeds the genesis frog?

Basically

Older answer, but did Jane ever get actual proof that Roxy's mom wasn't around?

Apart from learning Roxy was from the future, no.  Roxy’s mom was still alive when Jane was on Earth.

Can explain what the Yellow Yard is. I know it's The Yard Stick Hussie places between the two 4th walls that John and Jade traveled between but what is its purpose of being between the walls in the first place?

Okay so Hussie is a character in the story and he said that while his self-insert’s appearances would increase his direct involvement with the story would be limited to the space of one yard. That one yard being the Yellow Yard, or the two fourth walls he set up for John and Jade to travel between.  

Why did it take the Prospitian Battleship 3 years to cross the yellow yard?

Because they were just moving so fast that the 3 seconds it actually took them felt like three years to them. Physics were involved.

Can a strike specibes be given or is it just something a player has.

A strife specibus is just a card and can be given.

If Calliope is waking Jane and Jade up with the yellow brick road of magic, what'll happen to her? She's dreams so she can't exactly wake up, yet she's getting rid of the place she's residing??? Idk I'm probably being silly :P

The yellow brick road is not Calliope waking up the kids. She was going to use anti-sleep majykks to wake them up but didn’t get the chance because they fell through the floor and are now on this new adventure to figure what the fuck is going on. Jane was awoken by Arquius removing her tiaratop which is why she vanished.

has damara ever interacted with the humans

Yes, in the third openbound flash she can talk to Rose and Dave

do trolls naturally have the whole tentacle bulge thing or was that just a fan thing????

They do have a bulge, it being a tentacle though is fanon.

Im a little confused on the whole DaveKat is cannon thing, because ive heard it is but the ive also heard its not, and if they are pale or flushed, im just confused :o

They are in some kind of relationship but it has not been specified as to what kind it is.

Do the Dersites and Prospitians have quadrants? Or is it regular human romance?

Yes, Dersites and Prospitians can experience the full range of quadrants. 

How did Lord Jack happen? I feel like I understand almost everything except that and it is really bothering me.

The Alpha kids’ Jack Noir looked into Lil Cal’s eyes and was possessed by Caliborn. He then stabbed out his eyes and replaced them with Lil Cal’s and cut off one leg and replaced it with a golden spike.

Do you think you can explain Brain-Ghost-Dirk and just how he came to be? Sorry if it's been asked!

Brain ghost Dirk is a projection in Jake’s mind that only he can see. He’s a startlingly close approximation of Dirk’s mannerisms and behavior based on Jake’s intimate knowledge of him. Jake can actually bring him into existence once he tapped his full Page powers.
