January 2016

Hey so I've been re-reading HS this week and something just occurred to me: all of the kids had a copy of the Sburb, but Dave lost his copy (the whole crow, sword, window thing) and ended up stealing his bro's copy to connect. So, my question is this: by the fact that bro also had a copy of the game, does that mean that he was supposed to play the game too? Or was it just the game's way of making sure that Dave had a copy?

It was the game making sure Dave had a copy as Dave losing his was the game’s was of making sure Jade had a copy.

When Dave prototyped the crow and the sword into the kernal sprite, why did it not become crowswordsprite

Living things take priority.

If character X gets prototyped, does all of X's ghosts disappear as well?

No, just the one that belonged to the body that was prototyped

if this isnt too weird a question, what pages were published on any march 4ths??

There are 17. Follow this link, and search for 03/04 to see them

Why was it called the "Retcon Timeline"

Because it’s a timeline that originated out of a retcon which is when a previously stated fact is changed

I saw one of your posts where you said that Meenah's group was made after Karkat's group by Karkat, but I also remember that Meenah's group is the alpha group, so I was wondering if I had been wrong all along about alpha being the first ones created by the ectobiologist. So I want to ask, what does alpha and beta actually mean?

Alpha and Beta for the Kids means the type of Sburb they played. The Beta kids played the Sburb Beta and the Alpha kids played the Sburb Alpha. But their is not Sgrub Beta and Alpha there is only Sgrub. The Beta trolls started being called the Beta trolls due to there connections with the Beta kids. The Alpha trolls are called the Alpha trolls out of consistency.  As Calliope said “From alpha to beta, then beta to alpha”

Is it possible to have a one person session? Would the game give them some all powerful classpect?

Caliborn’s session was a one player session. And they should have a master class if they play one.

is there an archive or something with all the news updates hussie has posted on mspa?

I found one 

do you guys ever have to research stuff before answering? or are you a bit like me where you kind of remember everything just by reading and picking it up.

Some things I don’t need to research, some things I like to look up just to make sure I’m right, and some things I don’t know and have to search mspa high and low to find the answer

he does on page 008516

Ah, one of them damn picture words.

They don’t show up in the mspa search feature

GCAT aren't proteins, they're nucleic acids. Both are types of basic biological molecules, but yeah, they're different.

My apologize, it’s been 5 years since I’ve taken a biology class

Does prototyping a kernel Sprite require something dead/dying? (nana's ashes, the crow, jasper, dream jade, the trolls lusii) or is that something unique/a coincidence?

Sprites have an affinity for the dead or soon to be, but it’s not a requirement

Do we have any idea how long it was between the vast glub & the condesce v. Handmaid fight? Was this when the Condesce self-experimented to have all the troll powers?

612 sweeps, and possibly

Did Dragonmom ever hatch out of the egg to become a giant dragon, or...?

Yes

Who made sburb

Skaia

hi i wanted to know, how did the jack from the alpha's session became lord jack? i know it was because of cal but, what did this transformation imply exactly?

Yes that the one. We learn that Lil Cal’s mad mojo is in his eyes.

I'm a little confused on this. If a cherub's ghost was to possess the Ring of Life, would it be able to inhabit its old body again or would it have a 100% new body all for itself?

100% new body

If Calliope and Caliborn shared a body, why did they have separate dream selves?

Because the game registers them as two separate people

If a sprite can only have two things prototyped into it, then how did a Dave get prototyped into the Crowsprite?

The crow with the sword through it was one thing

random John egbert fact?

he glasses are face

Is Porrim a lesbian?

She doesn’t have a canonical sexuality so you’re free to headcanon what you please

i heard that some of the trolls have confirmed heights,, but i can''t remember any of them or where in the comic it says that ://

There are no confirmed heights in homestuck

what happened to lil Hal? Is it true he has a canon body?

He is part of ARquiusprite now, and yes, his fanon made “android body” was shown in  [S] MSPA Reader: Mental breakdown.

During John's conversation with Dave and Karkat after fixing timeline problems using Terezi's passwords, John mentions he had a catch up conversation with Dave in a grassy place before he changed the timeline? At what point would they've had that conversation with all the crazy zapping around and fighting? Thank you so much!

It was when Jade zapped the meteor crewall to Jake’s planet

How did Jake's session work out? Don't you need a time player and a space player to make a session work?

Dave and Jade are their Time and Space player respectively. The Betas and Alphas were always meant to come together 

so... the whole "mad mojo" from lil cal is just LE controlling anybody through the eyes, right? what would LE gain from making Lord Jack?

A powerful minion

so john is eyeless?!

yes, no eye only glasses he get that trait from his father

For an explainatiin, the reason a ring of life cherub doesn't go back into its body is because the ghost itself is what becomes alive. That's why losing the ring makes you a ghost again. Maybe helps characters that were blown to bits or crushed.

is Dave eyeless too? Or there's a sprite with him without his shades?

We’ve seen him take his shades off before, he have bright red sight orbs

how many troll

38 troll

You forgot to count the Hiveswap trolls!

*169 troll

ur a homestuck nerd lmao

Random Katkat fact?

>Try Again 

Just a sudden idea I got, if Jane were to heal Calliope back to life with her lifey powers (with the ring on or not), would that make her alive-alive for real? Do you think it might happen?

That is an interesting idea, I really don’t know. Possibly?

who has the best ass

me

How many times can Jane heal someone back to life? This can be either how many people can she revive or how many times can one person be revived

Everybody gets one

In the comic does it ever show Gamzee getting the hammer of zillyhoo or does he just kinda appear with it??

He just kinda has it, at least that we know of now

was Jade's last name actually Harley, or was it something else and someone said Harley instead and it just stuck?

It’s Harley

Rose showing interest in guys/not just women?

She flirted with Dave a bit at the beginning but it was most likely ironic given her character

Does your dream self have to be alive to become a god tier? If so, how is Jake a god? Wasn't his dream self killed because Clubs Deuce force-fed him peanuts?

This is explained in the FAQ

why was john desperate to get the package out of his dad's car?

It was the birthday present Jade sent him

are there any canonically or hinted asexual characters

I think John’s been hinted at as asexual but he’ll never truly realize it because he is just the “Straight Guy”™ and will never really question his sexuality. But maybe that’s just me.

I also personally headcanon Eridan as asexual.

When Nepeta was killed by Gamzee ( :'c), did Gamzee break her wrist or just grabbed her wrist to make those cuts in his face? Or did she make em?

Well he grabbed her wrist which stopped the cuts from digging into his face too much, if he did it hard enough he could have broken her wrist.

Are trolls Pansexual?

In the same way that humans are Heterosexual, yes

Wait, sorry, the word "SNAP" appeared when Gamzee grabbed Nepeta's wrist. I thought that implied bone damage

Oh, you’re right, I hadn’t noticed that

Was homestuck ever good?

what happens to someone if they are sleeping and their dreamself dies? does it become dangerous for them to sleep?

If they go to sleep with a dead dreamself, their “dream phantom” shows up in the furthest ring. Which used to be terrifying (as seen in [S] Jade: Wake Up) before the dreambubbles existed.

What is the FAQ???

The Land Of Facts And Quotation

Can a session with a Page of Void, Maid of Rage, and Rogue of Hope have any chance of winning?

Nope, needs a time and space player

How did gamzee end up in caliborns session?

Time travel
