wait. i think i missed something regarding arquius and doc scratch. is arquius a part of doc scratch's personality? if so, how so?
Doc Scratch was made using Lil Cal which housed Arquius (along with Gam and Caliborn) in it, and Doc Scratch’s personality is exactly like Lil’ Hal’s with a touch of Equius’s.
Everyone enters, everyone does their planet quest or kills their denizen, the frog is breed, the players fight the Black King, players release the frog and claim their prize.
How did Vriska take the jacket off her dead corpse when it (and the Quest cocoon Tavros placed her on) exploded when she ascended? And did we ever find out why that happened, given that John and Jade's bodies/beds didn't when they ascended in similar ways?
She didn’t take it she probably made new clothes, as for why is exploded, my guess is because she’s a troll.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe Vriska exploded when she ascended because of her cybernetic parts? We've seen dreambots and such explode when a sudden disconnect occurred? Just baseless conjecture.
Possibly, or that could just be how Quest Cocoons work, I guess we’ll never know
aren't ppl from doomed timelines cursed? does that mean john & roxy (and davesprite and jasperosesprite) are cursed?
Nope, John’s powers are a bit different than normal time travel. In this case it was post-retcon John, Davesprite and Roxy that were doomed. And since Jaspersprite merged into a different being all together it and the other Jaspersprite aren’t doomed either.
How would humanstuck!Porrim act? I'm writing a fanfic and I want to introduce a couple of characters at the same time but I'm stuck on Porrim!
I don’t see why human Porrim would act any different than troll Porrim (except for the references). She’d still be a bit flirtatious, and a vocal feminist but not a radical one, she’d still be fashionable and a bit of a “mother hen”
is ectobiology always necessary? since the cherubs session doesn't involve any I had a theory that only sessions destined to be scratched would involve ectobiology.
To our understanding, the cherub session is the most unordinary kind of session so ectobiology is probably required.
how do you explain Homestuck to someone who has never read it though
It’s this webcomic where these kids play a game and their like “holy shit whats going on???” and then the world is destroyed and then some alien dudes that also played the game are like we have to work together to survive because you guys suck and made a really strong bad guy. So then they work together and like rewrite history and spend three years traveling to the new earth that they caused to exist by rewriting history. But then on that Earth there were more kids that then played the same game but the planet wasn’t destroy it was just taken over by two clowns, Guy Fieri and an alien empress and they ended up killing all the people but the planet was still okay except is was flooded. So then everyone meets up in outerspace and are like “we all got to fight these bad guys that are super strong”. Oh yeah, also there’s ghost of all the people that played the game and died and they find some bullshit thing that basically makes one of the kids a fucking consequence-free tardis. And the ghost are like gonna fight the big bad skeleton guy as like this huge army and stuff and that’s kinda where we’re at right now. It’s a piece of shit and if you start reading it now you might finish it before next months starts
Hi, has Sollux's virus (the one that Karkat compiled in a fit of spite) had any repercussion yet? Karkat believed it created a "curse" that killed all their lusus, but that idea was refuted by Kanaya. Other than that, the only thing that we know is that it had to do something with both universes.
Did the Alpha Kids had a session before the scratch, or did they exactly start to exist when the beta kids scratched?
Now this is hard to explain due to temporal mechanics. But, the Alpha Kids did not exist as the Alpha Kids until after the scratch, but they also landed 13 years before the scratch. It’s similar in the way the a player’s planet doesn’t exist until they enter but the planet has existed for ages. Essentially, a long amount of time was compressed into a short amount of time.
I know this isn't a shipping blog, but in the flash on page 005338 we see Nepeta's shipping wall. She shipped Dave <3 Tavros. Was there ever any evidence of this in cannon?
Dave and Tav only talked twice before seek the highblood but considering one of them lead to the below image I can see why she’d ship it.
So today I was redoing the game on Act 6 Intermission 3 and I happened to reread the part at the end where Aranea talks about Porrim. Basically what I'm trying to ask is did Aranea sleep with Porrim or were they just red for a good second or so? Thanks!
They had a red fling for about half a sweep which is roughly a year.
If ecobiology is required, why didn't the prescratch trolls feel they had to do it? Like, with the kids, the pre scratch kids created everyone, where as the post scratch trolls made the pre scratch ones. I'm sorry if this question is confusing. Thanks :)
do u have a screenshot of when it states or who states that damara works for LE? or, if it is mentioned in the flash thingies, don't worry abt trying to hunt it down, haha.
Can you explain the whole ectobiology thing? Like I've heard Dirk is Dave, and Dirk is bro, and that makes bro Dave??! I still get super confused about it.
Dave’s bro is pre-scratch Dirk and Dirk’s bro is post-scratch Dave.
Ectobiology is necessary to produce the players and complete the time loop and in case of a scratch where you would have another group of players available.
Thank you for the g cat answer but wtf is earths first guardian?? Is that like what jades dog is? Whats the deal with jades dog? Im sooooo confused im sorry :( ;-;
A First Guardian is an entity that draws power from the Green Sun and “facilitates the planet’s true purpose”. Each planet has a First Guardian. Jade’s dog Bec is the pre-scratch First Guardian of Earth and Gcat is the post-scratch First Guardian. They’re created with an especially potent genetic code that grants them omniscience and other powers like teleportation.
