When was any kind of pact formed between Karkat and Eridan? I don't remember that at all!

They mention it here, and in [S] Kanaya: Return to Core.  They don’t say exactly what it is, but based on their conversation in Karkat: Begin another memo it might have had something to do with fixing Eridan’s emotional issues.

In [S] MSPA Reader: Mental Breakdown, was that an original song composed for Homestuck?

forgottenhsfacts:

Yes, it’s called Moonsetter and it’s from Homestuck Volume 9 that came out in 2012

Oh wow, okay, this is wrong, this is for the Vristagram flash, I have no idea how I got that mixed up. But no, the song from [S] MSPA Reader: mental Breakdown was not original it was Hello Zep by Charlie Clouser it’s the Saw theme

Do the people who ask you questions know that there's a low-tech search page on the mspaintadventures website? The conversation with Vriska talking to John about killing Tavros can easily be found on the search page; in fact, I just did so. There are many things that can't be found with the search page that have been asked about here, but it's starting to look like people aren't even trying to find it before they come here.

That’s one of my main tools in finding things actually

.... I thought Arasol was canon, didn't Vriska literally refer to Sollux as Aradia's boyfriend here? /?s=6&p=004146

Yes, but they were like 12/13 at the time. It’s entirely possible (and fits Vriska’s character) that she was just teasing  Aradia in the fashion that pre-teens tend to do.

Is it just a common headcanon that Dave's middle name is Elizabeth?

Yes

So far you two have provided a wonderful service, but we who follow you do not know much about you. I am interested in knowing more about you and would like to start by asking you about some of your favorite things. Would you please compile a list of some favorite homestuck characters, scenes, ships, etc. as well as a few things like favorite color or band? Thank you so much for everything, and I understand if you do not want to make the list. ^u^

Well golly, thanks! I’m really bad at picking favorite things but I’ll give it a go. My favorite characters are probably Equius, Caliborn and Roxy.  My favorite scenes are probably the Equius/Dave rap off, the hidden [S] Rides, Cascade obviously, and a lot of Caliborn’s exposition.  You can see my ships here. My favorite colors are black and purple and my favorite bands are Panic! at the Disco, Imagine Dragons and Steam Powered Giraffe.  If you want to know more you can check out my personal blog, kinglypanda

hello this blog is incredible you never cease to amaze me it would take me ten years to be able to understand the comic to the level that you two do.

Thanks! I’m just really good at understanding temporal mechanics and how paradoxes work, I’m actually fairly rusty at a lot of the stuff that happens in the comic and have to actively search for stuff to answer alot of the more specific questions.

do aranea and mituna have any canon interactions?

Nope

Is there a way to know the canon trolls (and human?) heights? Because fandom always take nepeta as smaller than equius, but in the images from when they were in nepeta's planet they were almost the same height.

They do not have canon heights, that is one of the many physical details that Hussie leaves up to the readers.

wait does dave have a middle name?

Not canonically

what happened to the homestucks in 2011?

hanari502:

Oh you sweet sweet summer child.

2011 was the beginning of the end.

Homestuck had just become popular in the beginning of 2011 and already troll cosplays were popping up at conventions. Absolutely nobody knew where it came from and it seemed to have sprung up overnight. Within the course of several months cosplayers all across the country, and the world, sprouted out from the ground. 

It was a time where the word ‘Update’ was sacred and anticipated. It was the beginning of the grey paint fiasco, before anyone even knew what armsocks were and even thought of using them. There was grey everywhere. It was like a rising tide of candy corn horns and cursing children spitting in buckets and playing ‘Spin the faygo’. It was hell and those of us lucky enough to survive it wouldn’t wish it on any of our enemies.

Following into 2012 was a nightmare. Homestuck photoshoots gathered roughly 500-600 people and lasted two and a half hours at conventions. The fandom was obnoxious and nobody knew how to seal their paint. Complaints from hotel staff about there being grey everywhere in the bathrooms at conventions and it clogging the toilets and drains were numerous. There was horn honking in the hallways and loud renditions of ‘How do I live’ every twenty minutes. Broadway Karkat was very much a thing that existed. Panel rooms for Homestuck Q&A’s spanned two entire rooms and filled up to standing room only.

Andrew Hussie visited Florida once and it was a goddamn nightmare.

The homestuck fandom you know now is tame, lax from the extended exposure and tired from the excitement of the past several years. The veteran homestucks look back at it as a time to never be repeated. The children just entering have no idea the glorious terror that the fandom once was.

What happened to the homestucks in 2011 you ask?

We don’t talk about that anymore.

when does kanaya clock vriska. me and one of my friends have been in a big argument cause i don't think it actually happened and she can't remember when exactly it happens and we can find it

She punched Vriska here

what happened to nepetas hat AFTER she gave it to equius

Gamzee took it from his body and wore it around until it was knocked off his head when Kanaya kicked him in the bone bulge here

Hello,I was wondering if you could give me the link to first flash game with the trolls, I've been looking every where for it. (Thanks in advance :3) Also when I mean flash game,I mean the one with the talking sprites in it.

Here

could you link all the alpha troll game flashes?

You can find them on the wiki

did/does karkat like terezi and were/was the feelings mutual?

Karkat did like her and it was mutual but he also started to send her blackrom advances which confused her so she broke it off with him.  

is there any dialogue that meenah says she likes bakery or is only a headcanon?

Yes, Meenah likes to bake and she even made the pre-scratch trolls a cake once. 

Ok woah so in the latest update (6/24/15) there's this part that shows this weird skull thing dripping ooze and all these signs are popping up around it. I guess it's the mother grub skull but it just feels weird that there are signs other than the actual zodiac signs floating around. So my question being, what the heck are those signs?

Those would most likely be some of the other Jade blood signs that Hussie created for Hiveswap.

What did rose mean when she said "She's a... sprite SQUARED?!" I don't understand what she means by that.

1 Sprite x 1 Sprite = Sprite^2 or Sprite Squared

Would it be possible for someone to fly out to the Furthest Ring, or would that be too hard?

It’s possible

For the Anon asking about Canonical heights, Hussie once said (Joking, probably) in a Q&A, "I’m gonna go ahead and canonically confirm that Gamzee is in fact the shortest troll of all." ((I Know he probably said this jokingly... but what if he didn't?))

Yes he did, because Gamzee’s sprite is the tallest

The calliope that was recently revived is the same that was raised by gamzee right? Is there a possibility she can recognize him if she gets to see the clown now??

Yes and no. Caliborn didn’t recognize him so Calliope probably wouldn’t either. After all, the last time they saw him they were just a tiny snake thingy.

Are Karkat and Kanaya canonly pale?

No

I never really understood how Callie knew so much about the trolls, is it explained somewhere and i missed it?thanks for answering!

She read about them in Rose’s journal

How did Davesprite lose a wing?

It got cut while he was fighting Bec Noir, it did later grow back though

Does it ever explain what happened to sollux and aradia after they were left at the green sun??

They went to the dreambubbles, we’ve seen them there several times.

How did Vriska acsend to God Tier? I thought her dream self died

No, her dream self didn’t die. While Vriska was exploring her planet, Aradiabot showed up and beat the shit out of her then left. Tavros then brought her body to her Quest Cocoon. Her dream self was dying from the injuries her main body suffered so she mind controlled Tavros to write out her messages to him asking him to kill her main body quickly so she didn’t have to die slowly. Tavros was overwhelmed by the task and left in tears. She died via blood loss and her dream self then ascended.   

Are seadwellers physically stronger? Like when feferi killed that whale lusus and just proceeded swiming like it didn't really weight nothing, is that only a fandom headcanon or is proven somewhere?

The higher on the hemospectrum the trolls will get stronger and longer lived. The lower castes typically lack these traits but make up for it with their psychic gifts. 

Do you know which page it is where Caliborn has Calliope killed? I can't seem to find it!

Here

Does Lord English have a goal beyond killing Calliope again? What will killing her accomplish?

Is Rosemary truly the longest lasting ship in Homestuck(that's still canon)? Or is there another I'm forgetting about?

Mituna and Latula have been matesprits for billions of sweeps. 

how many pages of homestuck are there as of 6/24/15

7724

is it stated in canon that Jake and Jane are British or is that just a popular headcannon?

Headcanon

ok, this kind of is really stupid of me, but when exactly did caliborn suck the beta kids into the house? or was this on a doomed timeline?

It is in the future

Is it canon that Kurloz had a crush on Cronus when he was in his wizard phase? Or is it some fandom creation? :0

Fandom

Does every session needs a knight to work?. Like, for helping the space player with the frog thing or something like that?

No, knights are optional

does gamzee still end up on earth to help caliborn and calliope? because john changed stuff

Yeah, Vriska said she was gonna throw him on Earth when she’s there

How old are all the kids as of the current page?

16

witch of life weapon???

Feferi used 2x3dentkind

Is Feferi responsible for the dream bubbles?

She’s responsible for the ones that our players use, yes.

Do you think that the reason that Nanasprite was able to heal John when he was fighting ogres was due to Nana biologically being an older Jane? Or do you think that that is just a power that all sprites have to help their players through the session?

It’s just a power that sprites have

Was Caliborn ever a godteir or is he in a cosplay like Gamzee is?

He says he god tiered but we just don’t know

If Feferi is responsible for the dream bubbles, how are the A1 trolls "alive" in them, if they came before that? Was it like a retroactive, weird time shit thing?

Time works differently in the furthest ring so while the bubbles were created after the A1 trolls they existed before them.  It’s complex timey-wimey stuff that can’t really be explained.

Were Sollux and Aradia at all affected by the retcon? And when do you think they might show up again in the current post-retcon timeline? It's been a while since we last saw them, seeing as they hadn't had any screen time in three years in the comic.

They were affected by it, and they might show up again, probably sooner than we think.  But they’ve had screen time fairly recently in the comic, they were there when John got his retcon powers.

Is it canon that Mituna has raggedy hair covering his eyes or just a popular headcanon?

It’s canon as seen in [S] Ministrife

What would happen if you were killed in a dreambubble but were already dead?

If your ghost was killed you would doubledie and be dead for good. Lord English is the only one able to kill ghosts though.

Why is Meenah so obsessed with skewering John with her 2X3dent?

Because John’s class is Heir and Meenah as an heiress is predisposed to attack other heirs and heiresses.  Plus she can’t actually kill him since she only ever meets his dream phantom so maybe she just likes being able to stab people with no real repercussions

hey,I wanted to ask you how did alpha session Jack end up in jail,because i've tried to remember but I cant. thank you!

He got arrested for trying to murder Jane’s dreamself
