July 2016

I suggest a challenge where a bunch of people cook up scenarios and the challenger has to find a (homestuck) gif fitting for it. You are winning until you can't find one

Leave me some scenarios in the replies and maybe I’ll play in a bit.

Has hussie declared any of the stories in paradox space canon

The Inaugural Death of Mister Seven is canon

Do any characters have a cannon accent, or any voice type?

Damara has an eastern beforan accent and Grandpa Harley had a bit of a speech impediment but other than that, no 

does Spades Slick ever directly speak?

Nope, only through the exposition

Is there any good explanation why John's dad is so strong? I mean like, if i recall right the imps that captured him were scared as he attacked them with shaving cream and a cake, and at some other point he punched one of those gigant- moster- things down with his bare hands, where is this power coming from?

He spends a lot of time stirring batter while baking so he’s super ripped

When did we first hear about dreambubbles?

Right around S Jade Wake Up

does karkat get forked in the retcon timeline, or no since jade is knocked out.

He does not get forked since Jade never had the chance to warp them to a other planets

How did Lime Bloods go extinct?

They were hunted

I'm sure very many people have asked you this before but what exactly did Calliope destroying the Green Sun do?

Created a Giant Black Hole that presumably swalled everything in the Furthest Ring

Are the Imperial Drones its own alien species or did someone build them?

They’re robots

do we know why roxy didn't revive alpha rose with the un-fefeta'd kernelsprite post-retcon >:?

Well she already had her mom in Rose back so she probably didn’t see the need.

What happens to a player that is god tier in a dead session? They dont dissapear like doomed timelines do they?

A dead session is a session like Caliborn’s where only one person enters the game. Once Caliborn had finished his quest it wasn’t explained what he was supposed to do afterwards. In his masterpiece he says he’s hanging out with Lil Seb and Gamzee “as always” so it could be that players of a dead session just stay in the Medium.

What elements are consistent with each session?

A session with multiple players is a collaborative effort to create the players via ectobiology, complete the quest of each planet, defeat/deal with each denizen, breed the Genesis Frog, defeat the Black King before the Reckoning finishes, and finally perform the Ultimate Alchemy. 

A session with one player becomes a quest not to breed a new universe, but to gain unconditional immortality and endless power by completing a series of excruciatingly difficult tasks. 

what decides whos the leader of a session anyways, the first person in?

Not necessarily! Roxy is called the leader of the alpha kids but Jane was actually the first one to enter. So it’s up to the team.

in openbound two, when u talk to cronus, one of the hashtags says something like "two friends who freely engage in sexual intercourse" does this imply that ghosts can have sex? because later on meenah says to (vriska) that they "dont have bodies" ???

Meenah was trying to articulate that it doesn’t really matter what Vriska did to her body since they’re aren’t alive anymore.

What actually happened when Vriska deployed the artifact?

Up to your interpretation! Much of the fandom thinks that the juju trapped Lord English in the Medium, others think it destroyed him. We might not find out for sure until the epilogue. 

is vriska's eye a mutation?

Aranea says here that their psychic abilities, the vision eight-fold, comes naturally to her blood caste.

Does every session have a Green Sun (or something similar) or was that unique to the sessions we've seen? And if not, would those other sessions have first guardians?

There aren’t multiple Green Suns, only one. Also each planet has a First Guardian, not each session. 

So if someone were to prototype themselves as a sprite, what would happen to them afterwards? Would they remain as a sprite?

What would happen to them after what? Sorry the question is a little vague.

God tiering is essentially trading one of the lives you have for infinite (depending) lives, yeah? Does this also work against you, making the condition a weakness? Vriska was easily killed Justy, but took a huge beating & died slowly when mortal.

She died quickly as a godtier because Terezi stabbed her in the chest, whereas Aradia beat her up pretty bad but not enough to kill instantly.

Is a dream self just an avatar for players too occupy as they sleep or are they just another person.

Complete other body.

Does roxy get tired if she creates to much?

She didn’t seem too tired after creating a matriorb which was the key to bringing back an entire race so probably not. 

Would certain space players be able to freeze opponents (like how Aradia froze Jack) since they can manipulate the speed of things?

It’s certainly possible. Space is an aspect that has power over the physical realm instead of mental or emotional aspects. 

If someone is dead but wearing the life ring can they die?

No, Aranea showed us here that her injuries heal instantly when wearing the Ring of Life. 

Is it considered normal for trolls to sleep in piles of things? (Bike horns, scalemates, etc,)

No, trolls normally sleep in recuperacoons.

has caliborn/LE ever actually used time powers on a page? I cant think of a time he ever has, like he moves between bubbles with his coat but that just seems like hes arriving incredibly on time instead of using time god magic and in collide aradia freezes him in time, which she shouldnt be able to do if he has "complete masterey" over it. sorry if this is dumb

When Lord English travels into a new universe he is essentially already in the universe, but time traveling to a point before he’s been summoned. Because remember, he is summoned at the end of a universe’s life. So once he is summoned he time travels back in time to influence his arrival. Just because he is the Lord of Time doesn’t mean Time powers cannot be used on him.

How was the Condesce able to send drones to kill Dirk in the future if Roxy killed her "in the present?" Is there a timeline for the Condy?

When the Condesce sent drones after Roxy and Dirk they were still on Earth. Then they entered the Medium and the Condesce followed. It’s a linear series of events. 

Who's idea was it to give Tavros robolegs?

Equius and Kanaya.

what exactly is a subjuggulator?

Trolls in Gamzee’s blood caste who belong to the cult of the Mirthful Messiahs.

Didn't Rose start drinking because she was nervous about her date with Kanaya?

Yes

so regular players from regular sburb sessions die for real when they die?

I’m not really getting your question.

So Mindfang said something about feeling the heat of a troll to tell their blood color. Are Highbloods hotter in temp than Lowbloods, or other way around? It would seem as though Equius is pretty damn hot, enough to evaporate milk apparently.

That’s only when he gets mad. It’s not said whether high or low bloods are the cold or hot ones. Much of the fandom seems to have settled on highbloods being the cold ones. We will probably find out for sure during Hiveswap. 

where is the page where John reconsiders Dave telling him not to listen to terezi? I can't remember jack shit about the beginning of homestuck...

Here.

you got a favorite homestuck plot hole?

A lusus chooses a wiggler to raise after they emerge from the subterranean caverns. So did Terezi just get left with an egg? Did the egg call to her and she slithered over? Did a carpenter drone leave her next to the egg? Terezi is funny. 

If Sollux didn't talk to any of the kids, how did Jade have him in her pesterchum?

One of the other trolls may have mentioned his username and she blocked him in case he decided to troll her.

is there any reason why Latula thinks it makes sense that her and Aranea's Alternia counterparts hate each other?

Latula says she understands why Redglare and Mindfang hated each other because she’s Mind player. So she probably understands how her post-scratch self would make a series of decisions that leads to her and Mindfang to bloodshed. 

was blood powers ever explained in canon? i mean, not the role, actual powers

Their actual powers were never really expanded on. The Signless’ visions are a Seer thing. Karkat talks a lot about the aspect here. 

Can you give a proper explanation as to what happened during [S] Act 7

In the alpha kids’ session, PM and WV throw the two rings into Jade’s volcano. It shoots the Genesis Frog into Skaia and the frog grows into Bilious Slick. The Ultimate Alchemy is complete and the new universe is ready to be entered. Jade has post-scratch Earth in her possession and she plans on deploying it in the new universe for the consorts, carapacians, humans, and trolls to live on. The fate of the sprites is up in the air right now.

In the Furthest Ring Alt Calliope uses her wand to create a black hole, sacrificing herself to destroy the Green Sun. The black hole begins to suck in paradox space. 

In Caliborn’s session, he has conquered Yaldabaoth and claims his juju which is in the red chest. Caliborn then use his juju-breaking crowbar to destroy his godtier clock, effectively giving himself unconditional immortality. His eyes become the flashing pool balls and now he has endless power as well since he completed the challenge Yaldabaoth gave him.

In the dream bubbles, which are about to be destroyed by the black hole, Lord English loses his access to the Green Sun and his eyes turn to 8 balls, ready to be sunk into a pocket so to speak. Vriska uses the juju on him. What the juju does to Lord English is up to your interpretation. Many believe the juju trapped him in the Medium, others think it killed him, and still some believe the juju traps him the the narrative.

We may not get any solid answers on his fate until the epilogue. 

Why does jade's tower resemble her tower in prospit??

The building was grown from a seed found in the Frog Temple

would it be possible for a psionic to have normal troll eyes? and would it be possible for their psionics to be colors other than red and blue?

That subject isn’t really expanded on in canon. For now we’re left up to our own headcanons until Hiveswap probably explains.

Alpha kids are not feferi's friends. Yet they dream in the dream bubbles, why cant other players from different sessions fef doesnt know do so as well?

Because the alpha kids were a part of the beta kids’ session players. Meenah and her group weren’t Feferi’s friends either but they’re in the bubbles because they’re a part of the trolls session players.

So when Dave and Rose flew to the Green Sun, did they hop over to the A2 session from there since the Green Sun is pretty much the center of all universes? If that's so, why did it take so long to cross the Yellow Mile and what exactly is that?

The Green Sun is in the Furthest Ring. The Furthest Ring is the space in between sessions. If you travel outside the ring of meteors around your session then you’ll be in the Furthest Ring. Sollux launched the meteor over to the Green Sun so the trolls could meet with Dave and Rose.

The yellow mile was the space between the two Fenestrated Panels, Jake’s and Jade’s. Jade explains why the trip takes so long here.
