What are all the characters in homestuck that cannonly went grimdark? Except for rose and jade

Those are the only ones. Jade going “grimbark” was just a pun on her canine traits, she didn’t actually go grimdark in the sense that the Horrorterrors were influencing her. 

What's the time line of the ancestors?

There’s actually a specific wiki page for that

Is it known what was Arradia's/Damara's time table things were made out of?

Presumable Quartz and Music Boxes

who`s the "goddess of manga" caliborn is talking about on page 008785?

Hey! I just wanted to know why Asexual Eridan headcanon is so popular. He seemed like the opposite to me. I'm only barely starting act 6 though, so maybe the reasons show up later?

You may or may not know this but Eridan is an allegory for the Obama Administration and administrations (not being people), do not have sexualities.

But seriously, I think he’s ace because he’s always flirting. He ‘s constantly hitting on people because he’s scared.

Think about it for a second, even in our Earth culture asexuals often times feel broken. He feels different, he feels wrong, so he’s desperately trying to do what he thinks will fix him which in this case is get in a relationship.

So just in that hand you can understand some of his behavior, but in the other hand you have to factor in Alternian culture. On Alternia once you hit adulthood you have to have someone to mate with or you’ll be killed. So you have this little 13 year old kid scared for his life because he feels broken and has it ingrained in him that if he doesn’t get himself fixed in a few years he will die. If I was the kid, I’d damn sure flirt with everyone too.

Of course this is all speculation and if you don’t agree that’s perfectly fine.

If sburb destroyed all of the trolls (besides the 12 main ones) when it was first played, how did the condescension survive?

Sburb (actually Sgrub in this situation) didn’t kill all the trolls, it killed everything on Alternia. It was Feferi’s lusus that killed all the trolls. Before it died it released the Vast Glub which is a psychic wave that kills anybody lower than a Fuchsia Blood. (Condy of course being a Fuchsia Blood was immune to the attack)

Why are dead Dave's the enemy?

Each dead Dave represents a Doomed Timeline

How come Aradia's personality is so different depending on when she's dead, robotic, or alive? The other kids seem to stay exactly the same in life and in death.

When she is dead and a robot she didn’t really feel much.

Once she was alive again tho, boy golly don’t we get ourselves a happy camper

specibuses/sylledex's predate sburb right?

Yes

So after Rose preforms the Youth Roll, it skips to Dave and it says Meanwhile, in the past. I'm a little of the fuzzy on the timeline still, so does this simply mean that this took place at the same time as Rose's segment or is it farther in the past than that?

A bit farther in the past

Can you explain me why Gam suvive when Calibron shot him?

Do you have a favorite character in homestuck?

Personally speaking I love Equius, Roxy, Dave and Caliborn.

I'm not sure, but didn't they mention at some point there were originally 24 players?

For the trolls, kinda, 12 Pre-scratch, 12 post-scratch. They didn’t play together tho.

Whats with the hate on Guy fiery (hope i spelled that right) he actually seems pretty cool... im so sorry if this is stupid im new to the comic

He helped kill a couple billion people and overthrow the government paving the way for a dictatorship the likes the world has never known.  He’s better known as the Anti-Christ or by his formal title: the High Chaplain of Interstellar War

Im pretty sure the 24 players was referring to the time Hussie claimed (most likely as a joke) that originally there was a SBURB game with 24 squiddles.

That was 48 squiddles actually.

What are your predictions for the Homestuck ending?

image

ohh i get your theories for ace eridan but i also think you sorta brushed off the fact that ace people can still be in relationships, just not necessarily sexual.

Bruh, I know, I’m ace. It was just reasoning for why he is so desperate to be in a relationship.

Also think about it with Alternian standards, the relationships that will save you from being killed are sexual.

I think the end of homestuck is that its going to end up being one giant paradox, and its gonna bring us back to the very start of the comic.

As of A6A6I5 everybody is on the victory platform getting ready for 4 x Showdown. Is it before or after Caliborn's Masterpiece? When exactly are the Betas swallowed by the Treasure Juju? If we're not at that point in time yet, is it likely that A6A7 will go on forever so that there's significant gap between capturing and releasing betas from said juju? (so it's not anticlimatic thing like 5 panel gap, but atm everything is possible)

Before the masterpiece, and they’ll be trapped in the near future.

And it’s most likely that (or at least I believe) they’ll be released before they’re captured, from the over all homestuck timeline. Meenah’s army has the juju and they’re going to fight LE right now. Presumably when the juju meets English the kids will be released.

I have a question - who are the "eight assholes" that "popped out of nowhere" in the Caliborn's pages? I really couldn't name them. (ps I love your blog, stay ironic and awesome~!)

The kids, and thank

There is no canon proof that Jake actually has an English accent.

That’s true, however there is proof that he may have a speech impediment seeing as his pre-scratch self did

did the Alpha kids have Denizens?

Yes, Jane’s is Hemera, Dirk’s is Yaldabaoth, Roxy’s is Nix, and Jake’s is Abraxas

Did Aranea go grimdark during [S] GAME OVER?

No

Wasn't there a page about Jake's pre-scratch self being unable to say Haley and instead saying Harley?

Indeed there was

Wait, how is Jake's Pre-Scratch self Jane's sister? I thought Jane had a crush on Jake in the comic at one point?

Grandpa and Nanna were adoptive brother and sister, not actually related.

Jane did have a crush on Jake, for quite awhile

Can you do a brief hs summary?

I wrote a pretty good one awhile back

At what point did kanaya stop having feelings for vriska ?

Riiight, abbboout, here

Are Nepeta and Equius ever referred to as "meowrails" in canon?

Sadly no

I remember reading something somewhere about Jade's narcolepsy actually being Vriska practicing putting people to sleep. Is that true?

Yes

What's Hussies god tier?

From Hussie’s archived formspring

I am the Huss of Lips.

Hahaha, just kidding, that sounds like some stupid thing one of my readers would say.

Alternatively, the fandom dubbed him the Waste of Space due to him wearing a space costume briefly in the comic.

I remember reading something somewhere about Jade's narcolepsy actually being Vriska practicing putting people to sleep. Is that true?

forgottenhsfacts:

Yes

I suppose I should add a source

How many pages does Homestuck have?

Currently 7939

A while ago I saw that you answered a question by saying Dave asked Dirk how to come out because he liked John and jade? Do you have a link to that part? I haven't caught up in a few recent updates so I probably missed it

Here.

How were the pre-scratch Beforus trolls born? The lack of the ecto lab was what prevented them from being paradox clones, which was the result of the session glitch. So who created them?

Already answered this. 

did the alpha kids lands have names?

Yes, you can see them in this flash. Roxy has the Land of Pyramids and Neon, Dirk has the Land of Tombs and Krypton, Jake has the Land of Mounds and Xenon, and Jane has the Land of Crypts and Helium

what were all the lands of the beta trolls?

Aradia -  Land of Quartz and Melody 

Tavros -  Land of Sand and Zephyr 

Sollux -  Land of Brains and Fire 

Karkat -  Land of Pulse and Haze

Nepeta -  Land of Little Cubes and Tea 

Kanaya -  Land of Rays and Frogs 

Terezi -  Land of Thought and Flow 

Vriska -  Land of Maps and Treasure 

Equius -  Land of Caves and Silence 

Gamzee -  Land of Tents and Mirth 

Eridan -  Land of Wrath and Angels 

Feferi -  Land of Dew and Glass

How did Vriska get the Juju to defeat Lord English?

She took it from (Vriska).

Is davejade not a thing anymore or rather were they ever really a thing? With all this recon shit ive sort of lost track sorry if youve answered this already and thank you very much for your time you guys are pretty cool for doing this.

Davesprite and Jade dated but alpha Dave and Jade have not dated. 

Wait, why are the alternian trolls the beta trolls if they came second?

Already answered this. 

i thought the question from dave to dirk abt coming out was bc of his relationship with karkat, not bc he liked john. bc he wants to tell john abt it and he knows john will never be able to put it together himself? he specif mentions he and jade sort-of had a thing maybe but he doesnt specifically imply anything like that abt john

You’re correct, he is talking about his relationship with Karkat and he’s asking how to come out to John and Jade. I’m not sure if he’s implying that him and Jade had a thing but I could be wrong.  

Is there a reason for why the Alpha kids all have noble gases in their planets' names? I didn't know if that meant something or if it was just Hussie being fake deep.

It’s probably because noble gases have trouble making chemical bonds with other gases and the alpha kids had a lot of emotional problems both personally and with each other. 

Random jake english fact?

When he went god tier all of his leg hair was burn off. 

At this current moment, what is the end goal!

Kanaya still has to retrieve the Genesis Frog, Lord English and the Condesce still must be defeated, the players must complete the alpha kids’ game session and make a new universe, Rose might (?) need to learn how to play the rain on her planet, Bec Noir and PM still need to be dealt with, and Kanaya needs to hatch the matriorb and save the trolls from extinction. Also there are some time loops that need to be closed. 

Hey there, big fan of the blog here :). I have 2 questiongs about facts I can' recall: When is it stated that Mituna and Kurloz are Moirails? And when is the creation of Doc Scratch shown? Thanks!

image

Talk to Cronus as Mituna.

Creation of Doc Scratch is on this page. 

Latula can smell though, it was mentioned when she was talking to Kankri. He said that he saw her smelling the cake that Meenah had baked for them while they were still playing the game.

I think Kankri was getting at the fact that she forgot she couldn’t smell and he found it endearing. 

Who killed who as a baby with the dual welding flintlock pistols? I thought it was jades grandpa but it wasn't

Jake killed Colonel Sassacre

voidrogue:

here’s a refresher on what each character is up to in homestuck, so you know what’s going on when the upd8 hits!

low-relevancy players

i think that’s everyone!

A few corrections: 

Kanaya is on the frog platform with John, Roxy, and Rose and is going to fight with them.

WV, Jade and Calliope are in Jade’s house on Lofaf. 

No one is on the meteor, the meteor is on Earth.

The Earth is not shrunk, Jade will not need to unshrink it, it’s in Vriska’s Super Wallet Modus that she gave to John.

UPD8

NO JOKE

Why does jake look so different in the new update?

He was drawn by a different artist
