Who of the ancestors are alive? And where are they all?
All trolls in the A universe were killed by the Vast Glub save the Condesce since she is a fuchsia blood and eleven of the troll players since they had already escaped to the Medium. Sollux didn’t survive because Karkat didn’t get him into the Medium in time but Feferi later revived him.
Do you think Jake and Tavros are going to fight Spades Slick, or are they going to gain a (sort of) ally who hates LE and wants to punch his skull face?
Tavros won’t be going with since he’s grounded. As for the Jake/Slick meeting I see two possibilities. Either A) he gains an ally like you suggested or B) Jake mentions his last name is English and Slick tries to beat him up.
where has johndave been canon? (pictures please!) ((im roasting someone))
It has never been canon. In [s] Caliborn: Enter there’s a dead John and Dave standing next to each other and people insisted they were together as desperate shippers tend to do but there’s no real evidence to support that.
Okay, can you explain the Meenah situation with her hiding out on a moon? Like did it happen before the sgrub game was played or something? I'm just kinda confused on it.
Yes it happened before Sgrub. She hid on the moon because she didn’t want to become Empress.
I have a question!! I vaguely remember that moments before Rose entered the game, she noticed that many other people were playing Sburb at the moment, which caused meteors to frantically rain on Earth, destroying it. Is it safe to assume that there might be other humans who managed to enter the medium but in other sessions, unconnected to that of our 8 main human kids and, therefore, unbeknownst to them?
Yes, although based on the walkthroughs written by others playing the game a lot of them never entered.
Would that mean there could be alternian players that entered the medium at the same time as the zodiac trolls?
Not in story. For the kids Sburb was manufactured and distributed by a corporation (Skaianet pre-scratch and Crocker Corp post). For the trolls however Sollux created it using ancient tech Aradia found in a frog temple and only sent it to the 12 that were playing.
In other words, Sollux sacrificed himself to save Feferi (who managed to enter the medium)? Is this what that scene of Karkat crying while being slapped by Jack (with Gamzee stoned in the background, honking) was about?
No Karkat was Sollux’s server player and was crying because he felt Sollux’s death was his fault for not getting him in fast enough.
So according to this information regarding the public availability of Sburb/Sgrub in human and troll societies/market, this means that headcanons where other children/humans entered the game and lived/are living their own adventures are plausible and supported by the official canon, whereas headcanons where other trolls (not included amongst the 24 we know) entered the game are not?
Nope, other trolls playing has no basis in canon. Although if you want to write a fanventure there are definitely ways around it. In a fanventure I was planning three years ago one of my trolls was supposed to play with Sollux but he booted him in preference for someone else after he sent the code and my old fantroll copied it and sent it to their friends and that was how they played.
Is there any way one person could acquire a link for trickster mode, all the way in the beginning? Because I am afraid that during the omega-pause, there will be nothing to do! And it never hurts to start again from a new perspective :)
Do you mean for the Trickster mode theme of the website? Because I can’t get that one to stick, probably due to it’s heavy gif load.
Why is there a thing called ....well i forgot it but all the beta kids are rather scary dave has a mask on and is a weird bird rose is some kind of vine cat and jade is some dag and john is like a creepy jester thing?
I think you’re referring to Heinoustuck, a popular fanventure from 2012
Where does it say the alpha trolls' age? I've heard the 9 sweeps thing quoted a number of times but I thought it was just fanonised because its a neat +3 (units) mirroring the kids' age differences. How do we know?
They were six sweeps old when they started sgrub and stayed in their session for three sweeps before starting the Scratch.
Is it confirmed that John's Dad's biological mother is Nana/Jane? And he's John/Popop's biological son in the post-scratch universe? Or is he just some weird entity that bridges the universes????
Dad Egbert is Nanna’s son and Dad Crocker is Poppop’s son.
Doesn't the Condesce work for Lord English? I thought she and the Handmaid fought because the Condesce wanted to be associated with Lord English's power, so she killed the Handmaid and then began working for/with him?
The Condesce was forcibly recruited into Lord English’s service.
We know that Sburb was a game sold by multinational companies in both Alpha and Beta Earth universes, but what about Sgrub? What's the origin of the codes found by Aradia in the ruins? Billions of years prior to that, what's the origin of the original Sgrub, found by Meenah during her escape to the moon?
Aradia found a Frog Temple in a ruin and sent the code in the ruins to Sollux who adapted it into a computer game. Meenah found the game on her pink moon and had her friends start playing.
Could you please explain the whole scratch thing to me? I'm so confused - I don't get it at all!
The scratch is a release of temporal energy that causes Skaia to switch which portals the meteors go through. It results in a reset universe and a switched set of players.
Would you mind summarizing what happened in the new flash?
We saw a flashbacks to when the Scourge Sisters were little and we saw bunch of people that died wake up as ghosts. Then (Vriska) and Game Over Terezi meet and hugged while looking at the cracks in spacetime.
I read the new update and I'm confused about something, in [S] Terezi: Remember. You can see pre-retcon!Karkat in a Prospit outfit. Does this mean this works as an replacement for his dreamself? Just because of the outfit, will it still work for retcon!Karkat to reach god tier then? (Or maybe this is really stupid reasoning :p)
No, that’s just Karkat’s dead dreamself. Dreamselves have their own ghosts.
the last upd8 let me confused, it shows that every dead in homestuck leaves a ghost, dreamselfs, people who dies on questbeds or even people that are then revived via kisses, did i got that right? if that so, why eridan and eequius leaved a ghost if they were revived via sprite? like, when tavrisprite or fefetasprite ware created their ghosts leaved the dreambubbles until they exploded, and as far i understud erisol and arquisprite^2 escaped with the other sprites or were erased on the retcon
I assumed that the murderstuck trolls waking up as ghost was a thing that happened in the past, not a thing that happened just now.
Possibly. That still isn’t exactly clear. We see Sollux with Aradia on 9841 flying unassisted which means he isn’t blind which would indicate a post-retcon Sollux. But we don’t know if the pre-retcon one still exists. Same goes for Aradia.
