I thought nana was Jane?

Nanna is pre-scratch Jane, yes

I've asked twice before but I'll try one more time. Does the Cutlass of Zillywair have smiles on both sides of the pink balls or on just one side? Thanks for your time :33

One? I don’t know. We’ve only seen it on three occasions and from relatively the same angle.

isnt nanna johns grandma through adoption also? like wasnt nanna Dad's mom?

Yes, Nanna is John’s adoptive grandmother and also his genetic mother.

Wait? So in the most recent updates gamzee never went sober?

Gamzee’s still sober post-retcon

Where did Dad Egbert and Dad Crocker come from?

Answered that here.

Is nepeta actually mentally ill, because ive seen a post saying that nepeta was mentally challenged but the only time I recall anything being mentioned in the comic was when Karkat had called her "retarded" maybe it's a thing people deducted from the way she acts?

Karkat called her autistic not retarded. Which could have just been him being a dick. Whether or not you believe Nepeta is mentally ill is up to your own interpretation and headcanons

The signless and the disciple were in a relationship in every quadrant right?? How would auspitice (I don't know how it's spelt) work if every quadrant was stated canonly

It wasn’t a relationship in every quadrant, it was a relationship Beyond the quadrants. Meaning what they had was so intense and they were so close that it couldn’t be labelled as any quadrant.

What are some of the worst theories you guys have ever heard? Like a theory that made a really far leap?

I really think bladekindeyewear’s “3rd Scratch” theory is stretching it. Caliborn’s session can’t be scratched because a) no scratch construct and b) the Cali twins were born naturally and not through ectobiology so a Scratch wouldn’t change anything.

Why can't Fefetasprite talk?

She can, Hussie was just being cruel since neither Feferi or Nepeta had talked in such a long time.

do you have any theories about homestuck you could tell us?

I am actually really partial to the theory that the Caliborn we’ve been following in story isn’t the Caliborn that will become Lord English and is from an alternate timeline.  This Caliborn focused more on art and less on combat. This would explain why Hussie stopped talking to him abruptly and why the Caliborn in the masterpiece was surprised by things. Surely, if the Caliborn we’ve been watching who had seen the fight had been the Caliborn in the fight he wouldn’t have been surprised.  If Art!Caliborn was the Alpha!Caliborn then there would be stardust in the current post-retcon timeline as well, but we’ve seen no trace of it and John hasn’t been back long enough to blow it all away.

A bunch of things about John Egbert that make him my favorite character but people never seem to remember about him:

Hello, I am the Anon asking about Fefetasprite. I thought she couldn't talk because Nepeta's brain got smashed to bits. Unless that's just a headcanon

That is not canon at all. Even after Fefeta exploded and Nepeta and Feferi’s ghosts returned to the dreambubbles neither of them talked.

Assuming that the time line revolves entirely around John, how long have they been playing? How much time has passed since John got the mail? Like, if he went way back in time the time line doesn't start there, but the time spent there counts

Still three years, John has only spent a few hours time travelling

Just thinking on your theory there, when WAS the last time Hussie spoke to Caliborn?

Act 6 Intermission 5 Intermission 5

Are there any chances that Eridan, Sollux or Erisolsprite will be seen again?

Sollux is likely, Erisolsprite is unlikely, Eridan is even less likely than that

When in the comic has Eridan said "Wweh"?

Never

Is it said anywhere that different lusi are different species? Because I have a head canon that they're all the same species just different breeds. Is that specified???

They are all the same species, Lusus Naturae

Does any past injuries affect your dream bubble self? Like obviously kurloz's mouth is still sewed shut and meulin is still deaf but none of them are affected by the explosion that killed of them.

They still have those imperfections because those characteristics are a defining part of themself and they choose to keep them. Similar to why Terezi’s dreamself was blind and why Caliborn (if he did ascend) is still lacking a leg and tooth.

Before todays upd8 was it ever canon that trolls cry their blood color or was it just a huge head canon i cant remeber

It was canon, as seen at the numerous times Karkat has cried in the story

(Different anon) didn't fefetasprite talk to Roxy? I remember Roxy saying she'd had conversations with her.

Yep, WE just never got to see her talk which was kinda the joke

Wweh was basically just a popularized headcanon by octopimp or something along those lines

Yep, same with Nyeh

sometimes i laugh really hard at your replies because i read it in the most sarcastic voice

Good, that’s probably how I said them

what does the matriorb do exsctly? i know it will hatch and stuff comes out, to help rerun the troll race, (or somefin similar) but once it hatches what is it gonna do? if they said? Thanks in advance (:

It will hatch a new Mother Grub which use troll reproductive fluid to lay new troll eggs. A Mother Grub is the only way trolls can reproduce. 

where is it stated that alpha!rose remembers her beta life?

Dirk states here that Alpha Rose had visions and “knew things” which is why her and Alpha Dave were able to prepare for Dirk and Roxy’s arrival. Roxy also says here that her mom had “VISION OMNIFOLD”.

I saw your Caliborn theory and I just... I thought Hussie stopped talking to Caliborn because he (Hussie) was killed by Lord English?

Hussie spoke to Caliborn after he died. 

Oh no oh no is it possible that bro is still alive in a dream bubble? I can't remember how who gets in them actually works.

The bubbles are only for sburb/sgrub players. 

This might be a personal question but I wanted to know what fan fictions that you guys liked and thought all the characters where really well written and had Canon personalities. Sorry I'm not good with words this might be confusing. gomen

I really like The Serendipity Gospels and Motherfucking Perspicacity myself.

When was the first time Eridan said " Nyeh?" I've seen it a lot in fan-comics, but I don't remember him saying it in the MSPA comic :/

That was because he never said it in-comic

How did Grandpa Harley enter the Medium?

This is in the faq my friend

Not sure about this but I think davesprite could potentially exist in the dream bubbles. He is an alternate dead dave, who is destined to defeat LE in some way and is now in the same general area as him. Could this also apply to rhe retconned trollsprites as well if true, along with(if she dies)Jasperose^2? Just random thoughts and I want to hug all the daves both dead and alive:,(

Davesprite can’t be in the dreambubbles, the ghost of the Dave that prototyped himself is in the dreambubbles, but Davesprite himself is not.

Not entirely sure on quadrants and qualifications of cheating. I think karkat explained it at some point but is it okay to be in a flushed and black quadrant at the same time? Like John with Terezi and Roxy?(sorry I ship both just making sure it isn't cheating)

Yeah, having multiple quadrants filled isn’t cheating, it’s actually expected. So Roxy<3John<3<Terezi totes fine my troll standards. The question being, it it fine by human standards??

how do you think cubed JasperRose Sprite will bring back nepeta, or do you think she just wont even?

Jake’s kernelsprite is still empty

Does Jake have any sort of connection to LE, and is he some type of vessel like Doc Scratch was??? (i haven't read HS in a long time so I've forgotten a few teeny things)

His last name is based on Lord English but he’s not a vessel as far as the exposition has revealed. Although some theorize he is.

In your opinion, who is the most likely candidate that Kanaya referred to as 'Him' in the recent update? (Also, many thanks to both mods for all the work you do ◠‿◠ )

It was Karkat. Echidna just told Kanaya that he will be needed to raise the Troll species back into a society.

What ever happened to Kanaya's torso wrap thing? The one she used to cover her hole made by Eridan?

The torso rap was Eridan’s cape and it was covered in blood so she probably got rid of it.

i'm not sure if i remember correctly, but were there other people besides the beta kids who played sburb? would they show up in the dreambubbles?

Yes and no, the dreambubbles we’re familiar with is exclusively for Feferi and her friends and other players related to their sessions.

Can you give me one meuloz fact and do you ship it

Kurloz is the one that made Meulin deaf and in repentance he sewed his mouth shut, and no I don’t ship it.

Do both the king and queen have rings? Or is it just the queen who has one?

The Queens have rings and the Kings have scepters

i was reading through the pages where you said hussie was already dead talking to caliborn and i just noticed that he gets his candy corn tooth from the top of the page from hitting everything with the crowbar. is this a forgotten fact do you remember this because its still Pretty Darn Great

I do remember that, it was a fun upd8, very fourth wall breaky.

When was the last time Nepeta spoke?

The last time we saw Nepeta say something that wasn’t just faces was July 2nd, 2011 when she was talking to Jaspersprite

so u answer one of the questions about a mothergrub, like the trolls need a matriorb to become a mothergrub to reproduce, but i have a question about a possible loophole. so you know how most of the trolls put their lusus in their kernelsprite? since kanaya's lusus was a mothergrub, could they use her sprite to reproduce?

All the trolls’ sprites were destroyed, so no she can’t use it

Do all space players have a partial title of "frogs" in their planet name, or can it vary?

All Space players need it if they are in a session that is to bear fruit

who's bigger in size, Dave or Dirk?

Did they ever say how Act 1 - Act 5 Part 2 lasted? Like, was it just a really long day?

Just over a day for John, Jade, and Rose

Probably about a week for Dave because time shenanigans

And just shy of a month for the trolls

DO you know why kanaya knocked karkat out

To keep him safe, so that he won’t be killed in the coming fights. He’s needed to lead the new troll society they are going to form.

So are the beta kids doomed to be sucked into the house thing?

Yes

May we have a source on Kanaya's torso wrap being Eridan's cape?

Well for starters, Eridan takes off his cape before he duels Sollux so it was definitely in the room when Kanaya “came back to life”. Also, 

image

What actually is the house thing?

It’s a juju that will be used twice, once by the Lord of Time and once against him.

Can you show me the page where Eridan expresses sorrow over Sollux being killed in the Vast Glub?

I wouldn’t really call it sorrow, he just said he felt like an asshole

does the scepter function like the ring (whoever holds it gets the power?)

Yeah
