What is "get tiger" exactly, some HS pages I can't see cause my tablet doesn't support it..

In an old Hussie Q&A someone misspelled God Tier as Got Tiger and it’s just become an ongoing joke.

Who was controlling Jade in her Grimbark mode?

The Condesce

Wait what's the homestuck map? Is it like terezi/vriskas map?

All mspa stories have a map. They’re kinda like photo summaries of the stories. You can find them on mspa by clicking the Map link at the top of the page

Hi, sorry if this is a dumb question, but what made John draw harlequins on his walls?

Gamzee used chucklevoodoos to create a harlequin doll in John’s dream room which caused John to write self-depreciating remarks on his wall and draw harlequins. 

In a previous ask, someone asked if Hussie had names for the trolls in mind before the audience decided and the Mod who answered their question said it was in Hussie's forumspring (sorry if I misspelled that), but I was wondering if you could link it, or if it's deleted possibly find out what some of those names were?

Here you go.

Actually, only Homestuck and Problem Sleuth have maps. Hussie was apparently supposed to get to the other two eventually, but considering how old/abandoned they both are, he probably won't at this point.

Thank you for pointing that out. I just saw their links and assumed, my bad.

Did Bro ever use Dave for porn in canon?

No, god no, he was bad but he wasn’t that bad

What *DID* bro do to dave

Physically abuse him, deprive him of food (at least to the point where Dave had to keep food in his room) and affection, raised him in an inappropriate environment, etc.

Where are aradia and sollux currently?

In the dreambubbles

Upd8

Bruh, is eridan in the dreambubbles?

Yes, since Erisolsprite never happened in this timeline, Eridan is in the dreambubbles.

Do you think that the new alt timeline Calliope speaks in red, because she "triumphed" over Caliborn, much like how Caliborn took her blood color after he killed her?

Yes, that’s most likely the explanation.

what is meant by retcon? i've never fully understood the term, especially in application to homestuck

Retcon means going back and changing something. When people say pre retcon and post retcon, they’re talking about the changes John made to the timeline per Terezi’s instructions. 

all we know about this alt calliope!

wecansexy:

Okay, I get the feeling that a lot of people could use a refresher on all the stuff that we’ve been told about this doomed Calliope before we go into this encounter! 

This Calliope is from a timeline where she predominated instead of Caliborn. It hasn’t been totally confirmed yet, but it’s implied that this Calliope never had contact with the Alpha Kids, due to living in a doomed timeline.

(Our Calliope would probably not say something like this since she grew up interacting with humans!) 

Anyways, we do know that her predomination was not the Union that our Calliope was trying to achieve with Caliborn by getting him to co-op with her. She predominated in a very similar way to the way our Caliborn did. (Maybe by having his dreamself killed?) 

image

This is why she is seen speaking in red, as a counterpoint to Caliborn speaking in green. It symbolizes her domination over him. (Speaking in the blood of your enemies and all. Pretty hardcore) 

Like Calliope said in that picture, Alt!Calliope went on to play SBURB and was most likely given a choice by her denizen. It was likely the same Choice that Caliborn had in the main timeline. 

image

So, this Calliope made the Choice to die, and her death will allow her to help our Calliope and the rest of the heroes beat Lord English. 

I hope that helped! Feel free to add on anything I missed in reblogs!

Quick question, where is Dave's Strife page?

He has two Strife pages

hey do u guys mind tagging posts about very recent upd8s? kinda spoiled a bit for me when i didn't even know there was an upd8 :/

I tagged it as upd8

So is the Callie in her trollsona a fake Calliope? Or is it because they're in a dream bubble and weird stuff happens in dream bubbles? I am so confused?

Trollsona Callie is our Calliope, the one we’ve known and seen for years. The other one is a Calliope from an alternate timeline where she predominanted instead of Caliborn. And now their ghosts are meeting.

when did bro deprive dave of food? like, can i have a link?

Dave says here that he has to hide food in his closet.

do scratched players appear in dream bubbles?

Yes

is it ever stated in canon if/when the GHB died?

He died, it wasn’t stated when though. If he lived up till Hivebent started then he would have been killed by the Vast Glub

I thought scratched players just ceased to exist as they were, and that if Meenah had not blown herself and her team mates up they would never have ended up in the dream bubbles.

Yes that’s true, I misunderstood what the other person was asking.

Jake’s Sweet Bro Tattoo
Source
Submitted by==> kinglypanda

Does Jake still have is sweet bro tattoo?

It’s entirely possible but unknown if going God Tier can get rid of tattoos. I guess we’ll find out the next time Jake goes sleeveless.

Do we know what the beta trolls (aradia, feferi, karkat, etc.) were called on beforus?

Nope

if meenah killed herself and all of her friends off at the same time then why does she appear in the dream bubbles after everyone else?

Time works all wonky in the Furthest Ring

So, in the FAQ I know you said the Condesce learned the powers, but then how does it work with the Captors/Nitrams/Serkets/Megidos? Are they just born knowing the ability?

They were hatched with the abilities and most likely learned how to use them over time as they grew.

wait didnt meenah appear in the bubbles at the same time as everyone else but just stayed in her hive for a long time??

Nope, she arrived far after everyone else

How did the Dancestors die in there session?

Meenah esploded them with their tumor

So, it's Dirk Jake a thing that happened? Or was it implied? Sorry for the vague question. >0^0<

They were a couple in canon for about five months and then broke up

Does Dave love John? Do you ship pepsi-cola?

I’m sure Dave loves John at least platonically. They were pretty tight bros back in the day. And no, I don’t ship them.

So are Aradia and Sollux still 13 from dream bubble physics?

No they still aged, they should be 16 if not older

Would the Psionic technically still be alive, just on the Condesce's ship?

No, he died from the Vast Glub. That’s why it took the Condesce 612 sweeps to get back to Alternia.

So if meenah used the tumor then where is it in karkats session and how did it get in hers in the first place

The Tumor is at the center of the Battlefield. John got his by drilling into the Battlefield with wind, I’m not sure how Meenah acquired hers.

So, Jasper knocked out his and rosesprite's second prototyping by fusing the sprites? Do we still have sprites on the disk that aren't fully prototyped?

Jake’s kernel sprite hasn’t been prototyped at all and Tavros could still be prototyped a second time.

whats the difference between spades slick and jack and where does all the felt stuff (green buildings) take place in relation to everything else? are snowman and the black queen two different people?

Spades Slick is the Jack Noir from Karkat’s session, he just changed his name. The Intermission inside the green Felt manor takes place on Alternia long after the events of Sgrub. Snowman is the Black Queen from Karkat’s session so yes, they’re the same person. 

When one dies on their dream bed or sacrificial slab after scaling the echeladder and ascends to god tier, does that person always take the body of the dreamself when ascended? What said person's dreamself were to have been destroyed, such as nepeta's or karkat's? Would that person be unable to attain god tier, even after meeting the requirements?

A player requires both their main body and dream body to ascend on a Quest Bed and yes, they always take the dream body. If they use their Sacrificial Slab then they only need one body, either dream or main. If someone’s dream body is destroyed then they can’t ascend using a Quest Bed, they need a Sacrificial Slab. However, all of the trolls’ dream selves and Sacrificial Slabs were destroyed so they have no way to ascend. 

Given recent events, what do you think would happen if two unprototyped kernals bumped into eachother?

It’s entirely likely that Caliborn’s kernel sprite was prototyped with what would have been Calliope’s kernel sprite. So empty sprite + empty sprite = black hole???

So when the Retcon happen did that mean off screen that the Alpha Kids went through everything that happened to them throughout Act 6? Because we did see the meteor kids misadventures after the retcon

Yes, the Alpha kids experienced everything relatively the same up until they entered, then there were some small differences.

So my freind Mikayla is making a yellow blood and i said it would be hard because ill have to find out how a yellow blood oc works: does every yellow blood have to have psiionic powers ((or is it just something Sollux has?)) does every yellow blood have two bulges? ((Or just Sollux?)) if you could gimmie a link or something, or just tell me.. Thank you again! :33

Not every gold blood has psionics and the bulge thing (if canon) would only be the captors due to their duality theme

Can you gimmie a link to when we see the hellsman? My bff said the ancestors wernt in the comic and that they were all fanon made

You can see the Helmsman on this page.  

what was condesce doing in the ship for all those years

She was exploring space and conquering new races and planets. 

Why did the Condy make Jane her Heiress?

The Condesce made Jane heiress because she was a Crocker and she was going to inherit the Betty Crocker baking empire when she became of age. 

Alright, time to bombard you wih some questions. First, which earth was the one that got sucked into the black hole in [s] Caliborn: Enter, second, HAVE YOU SEEN THE VIDEO CALLED [S] Cryscalmetheborn: Enter??? It's [S] Caliborn: Enter synced with Crystalmethequins :oo

Post scratch Earth got sucked into the black hole in [S] Caliborn: Enter. I just watched [S] Cryscalmetheborn: Enter and that was a pretty cool dub over.

Is dirk wearing tights under his godtier puffy pants or are those his bare legs?

I’m pretty sure those are tights.

i always was confused about homestuck's multiple selves. so there's the real self and the dream self... the real self dies and the dream self becomes god tier, but if the dream self dies before that then you're fucked? like... that one green cherib's dream self died and she's never appeared again. but i think they said that lots of trolls' dream selves died, karkat's died especially fast, but karkat is still alive but can never go god tier?

The dream self only becomes a godtier if your main body dies on your Quest Bed. If your dream self dies then you can still use your Sacrificial Slab at the center of the moons of Derse or Prospit to ascend. Calliope’s dream self was killed and she never came back because Caliborn took over the body. Karkat’s dream self died and he has no way to go godtier because both his Quest Bed and Sacrificial Slab were destroyed by Bec Noir. 

Is the meteor fall event that starts in SBURB restricted to each session chain? As in would each session chain experience their meteor apocalypse at different times?

The meteors flying at Skaia is called the Reckoning and it’s initiated once the Black king and his army defeat the Prosptians. Depending on how many players there are, yes the Reckoning could happen at different times in different sessions. The Beta kids’ Reckoning happened early because Jack Noir killed both kings and started it before the war was over. 

How do ghosts and dream bubbles work?

When you die, you wake up as a ghost in a dream bubble. The dream bubble’s environment can change according to the memories of the ghosts in the bubble. 

few questions: 1)since John died in the new session(a2?) and we have the 'original' John, would that mean that this Jade(A2) would be his sister stilloe not because she is the same/ different person, 2)what happens to your actual body when you ascend? does it stay dead or is it healed and asleep? and 3) what happened to everything in the pre-recton session? Was it erased/never happened or was it kept there(with the exception of LoWaS)

1. Jade is still his sister she just has different memories of their three year journey than he does since she was alone the entire time. 2. Your real body when you ascend stays dead. 3. The pre retcon timeline was erased since John prevented Aranea from getting the Ring of Life in the first place. 

Is it true that nobody knew Aradia was dead until Nepeta saw her prototype herself or am I remembering wrong?

There were a few that knew but most of the group did not know she was dead.

wait isnt davesprite dead now i thought he was on lowas with john when it exploded in the new retconned timeline

Yes, as far as we know he is dead and not coming back.
