What do the heroic and just deaths mean?

A Heroic death will result if the hero was killed while opposing a corrupt adversary, or in an act of self-sacrifice for the greater good. A Just death results if the hero is directly responsible for terrible actions, or if they have been subject to corruption by an evil influence.

Do you need your dreamself alive to go godtier?

If you want to ascend on your Quest Bed then yes you do but if you want to ascend on your Sacrificial Slab then no you do not.

Has the thing about ascending with dreamselves on Questbeds and without on sacrificial slabs been confirmed? Or is it just a theory based on the ascensions we've seen so far? And where did the name "sacrificial slab" come from?

Calliope uses the term here and mentions that since the Alpha kids have no more dream selves that dying on their Quest Beds would do them no good and that they need to use their Sacrificial Slabs at the center of Derse and Prospit’s moons. 

Would the concept of kismessitude exist on Beforus?

Yes, the Beforan trolls had all four quadrants. 

You guys are a blessing to this earth for answering these questions. This blog has helped me understand homestuck more and I'm very grateful

Thank you and I’m glad you enjoy the blog. 

If a death is neither just nor heroic, say, the player is sitting around doing nothing, and someone kills them, or, say, if they are neutral and got caught up in the fight somehow, what happens to the player?

If they’re a Godtier then they’ll be resurrected.  

Is there any other deaths other than 'Just' and 'Heroic'? Not like the 'die-and-come-back, but is there a third permanent death for godtier?

No, Just and Heroic are the only ones. 

Can a troll be in more than one quadrant with someone? For example, like if their matesprit wanted to auspisticize between them and someone else.. Is that allowed? o3o

The relationships in the quadrants can malleable especially in the concupiscent half. One trolls could have black feelings while the other has red feelings. This can cause them to vacillate between the two quadrants.  I’m not sure about the matesprit also serving as an auspistice, that seems like it would be a difficult relationship. 

Me and my friend are fighting over if Eridan went grimdark or not, I know he didn't but she still says that he did. So did he really go grimdark or nah?

No, Eridan never went grimdark. The panel where people say his skin looks darker than usual is because of the color contrast. 

I have not read Homestuck but I know few things and have a question. Is Sburb Sgurb is like a game yes? So when characters die do they die just in game or do they die real life too? (English is not my first language sorry)

Sburb/sgrub is just a way for them to enter the Medium which is another dimension. So yes, if they die in game it can be permanent. 

Do you know whether or not if jade's teleportation abilities are a part of her bec-based powers, or her space powers.

Jade herself has stated that she doesn’t know which powers come from Bec. 

what happened to the beta kids after they were sucked into caliborns house juju?

Their fate is unknown. 

is johnkat canon?

No it is not. 

Do any of the kids or trolls have middle names? I thought I heard Dave's was Elizabeth, but idk if that's canon or just something random i read on my dash.

None of the characters have been revealed to have middle names. 

I have never been able to find the pages for the Beforus(?) trolls, where are they?

The Beforus trolls were introduced in three flash games. 

No, no it’s not, it’s just a different tub.

Is it stated in canon that Latula lost her sense of smell? (Also that Kankri had a crush on her?)

Yes, it’s canon. In this flash you can talk to Aranea at the end and she’ll tell you. Kankri’s crush on Latula was canon as well.

So would it ever be possible to, if you die on your Quest Bed while your dream self dies on the Sacrificial Slab, to have two of the same God Tier player?

No because if you die on your Quest Bed you become your other self while if you die on a Sacrificial Slab you stay the same self so even in the scenario you suggest you’d still end up with one God Tier player.

would the scratch be possible in Calliborn's session, since he technically is a time player? I mean he clearly had some sort of planet on which his quest bed was on when he died, so could there be something there to scratch?

The scratch is caused by sending the Time player’s scratch construct to Skaia and switching the meteors from the Reckoning. Since Skaia blew up in his session and there was no meteors to switch I doubt a scratch is possible in his session. 

Let's say you never woke up on Derse/Prospit would you still be able to become God tier using your quest bed?

Yes, your dreamself would wake up when you ascend.

Who are all the people Roxy canonically has a crush on?

Roxy has a crush on Dirk and has also stated she finds Jake attractive. She may also be interested in John. 

is there a difference between a sacrificial slab and a quest bed/coon? the only one I know is that the slab is on your moon and the quest bed/coon is on your planet, but do they serve different functions?

No, their functions are the same. 

//crawls out of the shadows// Could I get a random Ampora fact please?

Eridan keeps wands in his fridge

Why are time players necessary to a session? Is it just in case something goes wrong, or is it something else they have to do?

Time players are necessary in case the session needs to be scratched. 

doctor who is better than homosuck

Homestuck is also better than homosuck

Wait so Rosemary is still <3 canon right?

Yes, they’re still canon. 

Seriously? Superego lock is WAY BETTER than you SHITTY WEBCOMIC ffs

The Sord exists

Wait when did Terezi and Vriska become moirails

Vriska calls Terezi her moirail on this page. 

So from that talk of raising mother grubs in the last upd8, while albeit short, does this or does this not mean that the Matriorb was not destroyed by eridan in this timeline? I mean that I do know Kanaya was still killed by him (still came back though) but I am unsure as to whether or not talk of raising one means that they still have the Matriorb?

The matriorb was still destroyed.  If Roxy practices some more she’ll have the ability to make another one though.

What do you think would have happened if Jade had prototyped her own dead dreamself pre entry?

Then all the Beta kid’s underlings would have her characteristics. 

In the current update, why isn't Vriska wearing her God tier outfit and wings?

Godtiers can change out of their outfits if they want to. 

excuse me homostuck SCUM!!!!!! how DARE you insult the U L T I M A T E FANDOM!?!?!??!??!?! TAKE YOU'RE DUMB WEB COMIC AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR A$$! ! ! ! ! !! ! !

Hussie once made a New Year’s ball drop joke in comic on new years day

Was it explained as to why Dave's Bro was trying to initiate the Scratch?

Possibly because he knew the session was going wrong when he saw that Jack Noir got the queen’s ring. 

I'm sorry that I'm sending this to this blog, I'm on mobile so I can't find the link to the giveaway blog. When will the winner be announced for the giveaway?

The winner was decided and the package shipped, I’ve just neglected to post about it.

So every session always has a time player and a space player? (obviously except void sessions) What do the time and space players do? I'm guessing the space player breeds frogs?

The Space player breeds frogs and th Time player is there in case of a  scratch. 

What if a session would succeed? Would a time player be necessary then?

If a session succeeds then the Time player would still be there. You cannot have a session without Time and Space players.

Why does john hate betty crocker so much?

Because his Dad uses betty crocker brand cake mix to make all his cakes. 

why is vriska x terezi sometimes called scourgecest? isn't scourge sisters" just a name they came up with (as in not actually siblings), or am I remembering that wrong? how is it incest?

It’s just a ship name, it doesn’t need to make sense

Is it canon that Tavros would have grown wings if he'd survived?

Not unless he ascended

Can I get a random Zahhak fact?

Equius killed Vriska’s lusus because a robot looked at him funny while he was putting the moves on an empty Aradiabot

Does Karkat use 1 or 2 sickles while fighting? I forgot, sorry.

Just one.  We’ve never seen him fight with two in canon.

I feel so bad for you. Fight the good fight against retarded 15 years old who just found out about TV.

I don’t like you.

Will you answer asks privately if it's requested?

Yes

Gimmie a Dave fact. I'll see if I don't already know it.

Dave’s toilet was moved so he planned to pee in an apple juice bottle and then send it to John.

hey can you tag ableist slurs please...

my bad, I’ll be sure to tag any that come up in the future

What is the difference between Dirk and Bro?

Bro is from the Pre-scratch universe and Drik is from the Post-scratch universe

Are quest cocoons literally shaped like recuperacoons?

No, Quest cocoons are circular

on what page does the song "Ballad of Jack Noir" play?

It has not been featured in comic.

so, uh, this is sorta a weird question, but does john have his own animal? i mean, dave has his crows, jade has dogs, and rose has cats.

It would be the bunny
