i'm sorry if this is an obvious question or if it's been asked before but if Meenah killed all the alpha trolls with a bomb, why did her death appear to happen so much later than everyone elses? Aranea says at one point that she's been waiting for Meenah for a long time, but wouldn't they have all died at the same time?

Time works differently in the Furthest Ring.  Just to prove this,  Dreambubbles didn’t exist until long after the Pre-scratch trolls died.

How high does the sportspile go?

why are the mods so sassy?

Because just saying the facts can get boring, gotta add some extra fun for everyone.

are there any instances of dave being able to move forward in time, or has he only ever been shown/mentioned going back?

We haven’t seen him travel forward in time. He hasn’t really had a need, all the important stuff happens in the past.

Is there any point in Homestuck where Gamzee calls salad "hilarious"? My brother insists on this, but I don't recall.

I can’t find any point where Gamzee called salad hilarious, in fact I can only find one instance of salad being mentioned in the entirety of homestuck.  I think your brosky is remembering a meme

Didn't the Dolorosa and Orphaner Dualscar have some sort of relationship?

correctedhsfacts:

forgottenhsfacts:

It’s speculated that Dolorosa was Dualscar’s slave. It hasn’t been confirmed though

you mean Mindfang’s slave?

also, Dualscar killed the Dolorosa. that’s kind of significant.

Dolorosa was sold to seadwellers

Mindfang stole a slave from Dualscar (supposedly the Dolorosa) which she forced to be her lover. 

And Dualscar eventually killed the slave (still supposedly Dolorosa)

So technically, supposedly, Dolorosa was both Dualscar and Mindfang’s slave, at different points in time. If that slave really was Dolorosa. Again, just speculation.

Why did Equius like Aradia even though she was one of the lowest on the hemospectrum? Not saying that the equara kiss was a bad thing. Just curious.

He like her because she was so low on the hemospectrum and didn’t care. Such breaking of the norm was so, so 100d.

dave is always travelling forward through time at a rate of one second per second

I'm pretty sure the Gamzee calling salad hilarious thing was from an old Ask Gamzee comic. It can be found on the youtuber Octopimps channel with the original artist linked in the description.

Like I said, a meme

The joke that lead to the creation of Ms Paint. She’s named after the website that is named after the program.

In Ministrife, right in the front and center of the Beforus group, Rufioh is wearing an outfit with a top had and a cape that I assume is a reference to an anime. Would you happen to know just what that's from? (Also, I really appreciate everything you do keeping the fandom informed, and marvel at your memory.)

Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon

What, uh. What was that one instance of salad being mentioned. I need to knkw because of reasons.

It is in the YOU THERE BOY flash game

to the anon who asked if dave has moved forward in time, you said yes to that which cant be true because dave went forward in time and saw him self die (friendly fire by jade)

No, he saw a future Dave who had time traveled to the past get killed by Jade

Did any trolls (or humans other than roxy) survive in GAME OVER?

Dirk and John, but they weren’t there so I’m not sure if I should count them.  Rose and Terezi technically survived it but then died shortly after.

okay okay Does Dirk hate roxy because there's a bunch of people saying that

no, they buds

I remember there was a lot of pages between [S] Cascade and the start of Act 6, However I cant find them. Is my memory lying to me or they were deleted or something?

Did you try looking at the page after cascade?

All the quadrant names seem to be portmanteaus (kismesis, e.g. is a mix of kismet and nemesis) but, maybe because my English is not very good, I can't put my finger on what "moirail" is composed of. Do you happen to know? Thank you very much!

Moirallegiance is a portmanteau of “moira” (fated) and “allegiance.”

Does more than one person work on this blog. And roughly how many asks do you very in a week?

Yes, there are two mods. And how many asks we get depends on how many we answer.  The more questions we answer, the more we get.

what do you think dave's sexuality is going to be

none of my business

Could Karkat be considered almost human? He pretty much has most qualities from what I've seen/read

Karkat came first so if anything, humans are almost Karkat.

Is the term "flash step" canon or fanon? And which characters can canonically flash step?

It’s used in canon, but it’s a term that predates Homestuck.  It’s used once by Dirk and once in reference to him.

Is there a record of all the times, if any, that vriska has said the word "Sorry"

Well this was a huge pain in the ass but here, every time Vriska says “Sorry” (not counting any instance in a flash game)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11&12 13 14 15 16 17&18 19 20 21&22 23

When I read homestuck, I made the mistake of reading it on my phone and missed all the flash pages. So my question to you is where is the page with that gif that's floating around that says "[s] be Gamzee" at the top that has Gam on his head? Is that an actual page? Is this a stupid question? NyEh

That’s not canon

If the babies that John created are the alpha and beta kids, then who created the adult version of both universes? Thank you!

John. It’s some time travel paradox bullshit.

Is there a record of all the times, if any, that John has said the word "the"?

fuck you m8, do it urself

What's up with Sollux being half dead?

Since Gamzee has/had a flushed crush on Tavros, why would he create Tavris?

image

Do trolls from beforus have a lusus??? Or are they raised by a parent, since adults never had to leave beforus.

Yes, they were raised by a lusus. Cronus’ sea horse lusus can be seen floating near him.

How did the troll's sprites die?

That’s unknown however it is likely that they were killed by Meteors during The Reckoning as sprites seem to be drawn to the Battlefield before it happens

A lot of people talk about Tavros loving chicken nuggets as if it's canon, but I don't remember that being anywhere in the comic

It’s not canon, as to why people think that, it’s a simple two word answer, Master Yorgi

Does Dirk still have feelings for Jake??

Maybe…?

So there was the original signless, aka the sufferer, and then the other signless a bit later with the dolorosa and the discilpe and so forth, right? So which one is karkat and which is kankri, or are they both kankri?

The signless and the sufferer are the same person, post-scratch Kankri. The “second signless” is Karkat.

I was watching [S] Game over and at one point where Kanaya and Karkat are running on the Grey slab things, you can see jane being flung out of shot, with her glasses falling off. Notably, her eyes, like Johns, appear to be on her glasses.

Alright so If Jane’s eyes are glasses, and Jake’s eyes are glasses and John’s eyes are glasses, then I think we can safely assume that Jade’s eyes are also glasses.

Do you answer all the questions you get or only the questions you have the answer to?

I definitely don’t answer all the questions. We have way too many for me to do that. Usually I just pick and choose. I’m more likely to answer a simply question or a question that I find interesting.

wasn't there a part where dave was talking a long time about size? something like the meteor is coming and it's big. how big? like the size of texas or what? then he says something that size is such an abstract concept and that even saying that the meteor is the size of texas he can't really imagine how big it is... am i going crazy? did this actually happen or am i not remembering right?

That happened

This might be a weird question, but does Openbound save your progress as you go? I've never really played any of the flash games in Homestuck, but since I know Openbound is a really long one, I'll have to leave my computer at some point, so if I reload the page, will the game start where I left off?

Unfortunately no, it has to be done in one go. But Openbound is three different flash games so you can take breaks inbetween them.

Where's that dave pic you used in response to ask abt his sexuality from? :0

It’s fanmade

Was there a reason for Dave to take his shades off on Derse and look at the sky?

So that he could hear better

octopimp is one word

But Master Yorgi isn’t.

Is troll reproduction ever actually referenced in canon, or is it all fan speculation?

It’s referenced in canon, just not in too much detail

So does blood color actually affect troll behavior? because I could've sworn that the "cooler colors are more violent" was just Alternian society but people still use it to excuse Gamzee's actions.

People will use anything to excuse Gamzee’s actions

Where is sollux right now?

The dreambubbles, he and Aradia just met up with Meenah’s army

if johns eyes are on his glasses, and janes eyes are on her glasses and jade and jakes eyes are on their glasses, then whos flying the plane!?

Who else but

So in the troll session, karkat was in charge of the ectobiology stuff, even though presumably kankri already did that in the beforus version to create the trolls on the first place. So was there ever a point where jane had to do that?

Kankri never did it, that’s why Karkat had to. Jane never made kids, although she did make Gcat.

is there any sort of method to the act structure at all at this point? like is there a difference between the relevancy/significance of an act, a sub-act (like the second "act" in the act), a sub-sub-act, and an intermission?

forgottenhsfacts:

Basically intermissions are a drastic shift from one part of the story to a very different part of the story. Sub-acts are essentially just a result of intermissions placed in the middle of an act rather than before or after one however this is only true of Act 6 sub-acts as Act 5 Act 1 acted more like an intermission. And an Act is just an overall section of the story usually each having their own beginning, middle and end.

Alright so like what's up with gamzee and his god tier outfit ?

It’s fake. Gamzee isn’t god tier.
