March 2016

Could you tell me when grub scars are mentioned? I think it may have been karkat who mentioned them, but I'm not sure...

Grub scars are a fandom made idea

why did the cherubs and play the game if they weren't meant to?

He wasn't just crying because he was laughing so hard? I must have misinterpreted it

That too, he was also laughing about how stupid he used to be. All these things.

Where did March eridan come from?

meh

How exactly did Aradia come back from the dead after Vriska made Sollux kill her? (Has this been answered already? I can't find it.)

Well she lived (hehe)  as a ghost for awhile until her dreamself died on her Sacrificial Slab then she ascended

Do you get annoyed at all the people asking about fandom made ideas like grub scars and troll genitalia? they seem to ask it a lot and never take the time to just look for the answer.

Nah, I don’t mind. Not everyone’s been in the fandom since before grub scars and tentacle dicks became fanon. 

What even are grub scars?

When trolls are grubs they have 6 limbs. After they pupate they only have 4. Grub scars is the notion that trolls have scars on their torso where the middle set of limbs used to be. 

Is aradia the only troll to not say fuck?

I'm looking for the link to that "exact midpoint" post and can't find it?

‘s right here dog

didnt meenah say that lord english was kinda hot at one point in one of the flash games

MEENAH: i dunno if you seen this skull dude but he is RIPP-ED
#kinda hot actually

What have to be your favorite random facts you know?

My favorite forgotten fact is back in 2013 when the homestuck fandom was still horrible and hated. Everyone thought homestuck was going to end soon so other fandoms started being nice to us and fandomstuck was born (one of my top favorite homestuck memes)

Why did Dave have to look at Derse's sky without his shades?

So that he could hear the horrorterros better

why did the beforus kids have to scratch?

Because if they didn’t they wouldn’t have been born, or hatched I guess

wait when did dave start crying over his selfies?

When he finally got back into his house after three years

Thank you guys for keeping up this blog and helping us with things we might not know or understand. I have learned a lot of things and am glad to be a Homestuck fan

No prob bob. You guys want to know stuff about things I know and I feed off of attention so it’s mutually beneficial. 

I'm confused. How was game over Rose's death heroic?

Because it wasn’t Just and Hussie needed her dead

why is/was there so much hate for homestuck fandom?

Oh boy, you sweet innocent angel. Read this if you dare

Are grub scars canon or fanon?

fanon

who is the best?

Serenity obviously

Mirror Mirror on the wall, who's the Dankest of them all?

Quarters

Is aradia the only troll to not say fuck?

forgottenhsfacts:

Yes he does, ironically he says it to Aradia

What am I supposed to do with my life after Homestuck ends?

Cry, curl up in a ball and wait until Hiveswap comes out

how many mods does this blog have? does one person know all these things?

There are 2 of us. I (Mod T) have been a Mod here for three years and Mod A has been a Mod for almost a year now.

hello! im like, leafing through and all and i vaguely remember this one part where john and jade were on the BIG SHIP and decided to play an online game together but i forgot where and what that was all about. could you help me with that please?

Ghostbusters II MMORPG

Has tavros said fuck?

Yes

What's Hiveswap??

the video game I paid over two hundred bucks for

Sometimes I wonder if Hussie knows about this blog, if he’s ever sent us an anon…

Probably not, but a kid can dream can’t they?

I don't know if you've already answered this or not, but at which page does Karkat say fuckass? Like, if memory serves correct he says it once, but I can't remember where he says it.

Here

Would a session go null if the black king were to be killed before the reckoning?

Maybe..?

is there one character that has not said "fuck" in the whole series

WV hasn’t technically said anything

HE LP TUMBLR WONT LET M E POST OR REBLOG ANYTHING AM I THE ONLY ONE GETTING THIS "YOUVE EXEEDD YOUR DAILY POST LIMIT" THING

That happens when you post more than like 250 things in a day, welcome to tumblr 101.

How do you even remember all of this? I doubt Hussie even remembers all of these obscure facts.

I don’t remember everything, I just know the right places to look

The new update is there!

Is it just me or does the art style make it read differently? Like I just can’t get the characters’ voices to sound normal, the art has altered them in my brain.

What was the barcode on WV's (the mayor's) wrist?

It’s to signify he’s a clone.

"I don’t remember everything, I just know the right places to look" that shit sounds like something the old master says to the student and it turns out to be the most important thing

Because it is.  Here’s some examples from today:

Someone asked for the online game John and Jade played on the ship. I knew there was a pesterlog between the two and that it was in one of the earlier Act 6 intermission so I went to the wiki all up on John’s page and took a peak at his pesterlogs in Act 6 he’s had with Jade and boom, found it.

Or when someone asked when Karkat has said fuckass, I jump on over to MSPA’s search feature, click all up in Act 5, Ctrl+F fuckass until I find it.

What flash game did Meenah was LE was hot in? I clickity clack my way to the great resource of readmspa, go to their search feature of Act 6, Ctrl+F “hot” until I find the convo and get the link.

It’s all a matter of how you manage your resources and prior knowledge.

OY! We’ve got replies back! This blog was always more fun with replies.

Why did the beta kids initiate the scratch?

Their session was doomed and they needed to reboot for another chance.

Where did the condesce come from?

She’s the troll empress who has a bunch of troll powers and she also likes baking and genocide. 

Hey! Since it's been like over a year since HS last upd8ted, I was wondering if you could put together a quick summary of what's going on right now? I think everyone would love a reminder of whats going on in the comic right now seeing as its about to end, and you have such a good memory of HS...

Voidrogue posted one. 

How did the whole Eridan/Feferi/Sollux thing go down (the one where Sollux got KO'd)? I was half asleep when I listened to the CollabHQ reading of that, so I don't really remember.

Sollux and Eridan dueled and Eridan k’od Sollux with his wand and Feferi got mad at Eridan and went after him with her 2x3dent and he blasted a hole through her chest and killed her. 

Whats the difference between Aradia's blood color and karkat's? Aradia talks in red text but she is a rustblood and karkat isn't

Aradia has rust colored blood but Karkat has a mutation where he has bright red blood which is a color that’s not on the hemospectrum. 

Hey I was just wondering, what does the Scratch actually do?

Already answered this. 

can condy use her mind powers to control trolls? because I'm drawing blanks and with the update having kanaya on derse with the rest of the team, i have a bad feeling about it

Yes, her mind powers control trolls and can put humans to sleep. But the mind powers only work on weak-willed trolls and Kanaya is anything but weak-willed.

Regarding the barcode on WV's wrist, is there any mention on how they were cloned? Also, what is that casino Robot SS was speaking of in the recent update?

Casino is mentioned here. The carapaces were cloned in labs on the meteors on this page. 

i think i missed something earlier in the comic, so could you maybe tell me where exactly dad egbert is?

Dad Egbert kicked the bucket when Bec Noir killed him. 

Where did the condesce get all her powers, and what is her goal exactly?

Faq.

In today's (3/29; spoilers) upd8, does Roxy's sword hold some extra-special significance beyond what Roxy says to John? I've totally forgotten where we've seen it before.

It was the sword belonging to Dave’s bro. 

What IS the scratch technically? I know what it does but, what is it and how do you trigger it?

You trigger it when you scratch the surface of the construct on the Time player’s planet in a special way with quills from Echidna. It acts as a reset button and reboots the session. 

When do you meet the alpha trolls? Like when is the first interaction?

The first time we see an alpha troll is on this page when Jake sees Aranea. 

Why is Jake's last name English when Jade's last name is Harley?

Already explained this.
