Important thing... Did Terezi survive to the end of the game (act 7)? And by then, how many timelines is she alive in and which ones? I'm sorry if the wording is confusing at all. Thank you in advance!! >:]
Why are candy-red bloods persecuted against? Are they killed at birth? Do we know much about their treatment or any specifics?
Their blood color lies outside the hemospectrum and it brands them a mutant. They’re considered pariahs and are culled on sight as mentioned by Karkat when he speaks to Meenah in Openbound when the player speaks to him in his room dream bubble.
What was the Scratch? Why did it happen and what did it do?
The scratch was started because the kids’ session was going all wrong. 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. The two ecto groups are switched and the new group plays instead.
fluorite octet anon was asking if the order of the dice roll would affect the outcome; if it did, then rolling 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 8 would give a different result than 8, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1. I think they were assuming that you roll the dice one at a time, rather than all at once though.
Oh, well in that case, I wanna say we can’t say for sure, we don’t have enough of a data pool. The main defense for the order mattering is here, where it says Vriska odds of rolling the perfect result is 1 in 16,777,216. Which is true, the chance of rolling 8 8s is that likely, but that can’t be used to say order matters since all the numbers are the same. If it said that about a roll being 1,2,3,4,5,5,6,7 then yes that would be evidence of order-dependence. And you might say “But putting so much emphasis into how much a long shot it is kind of an argument for it being non-order dependent, implying that other results are easier to obtain”. But that can’t be used either since again, the probability of getting 8 of the same number is that high. So yeah, we really can’t be 100% sure
The order of the octet does matter, because doc scratch said that the chance of eight 8s was 8^y where y=8. This this number of permutations of eight dice, implying that either the dice themselves are designated as 1-8 or that whichever one hits the ground first is the first of the order
Dude, fuck, I dunno, I hate probability. Like I took advance math classes for most of my academic career and probability was, is, and always will be my weakest bit. I just am not good at it. I tried, but I dunno, maybe you’re right, I dunno, I give up, you guys are on your own for this one.
Do any of the Alpha kids play instruments that we know of? I know that Dave does rapping and mixing, John can play piano, Jade can play bass and Rose plays violin.
So there's this topic on ectobiology saying that ((for example)) dave is a guy because dirk is a guy and that it's impossible for one of them to be born a girl because of the genetics in ectobiology, but that doesn't make much sense to me. How do you see this ectobiology process in accordance to the topic?
That topic is using faulty logic because
1: it’s assuming genetics influence gender which isn’t always necessarily true and
2: Dave’s not a clone of Dirk, he’s got Roxy’s dna too.
At one point in-comic, Jade says to "think of [the multiverse] like a giant solar system, but instead of planets revolving around the [Green S]un, there are many universes." We know the creation of the Green Sun is visible from the Veil in the trolls' session. Following this logic, would the Green Sun's creation be visible from any session's Veil, or only those orbiting it at a specific distance?
Should be only those orbiting it. I doubt sessions with a different Green Sun would have seen it.
Would any sea dwelling trolls with a blood color too close to the empresses be killed at birth? I might be wrong but I think the empress kills the heiresses in order to have a longer reign, right?
Yes, but that’d only be the fuchsia blood. Being close to fuchsia isn’t fuchsia
PLOT TWIST!!!!!!!! Tell us something about the mod for the blog c: I bet there super cool
Oh boy, um, well, here’s my ships, I like irony, Dave Strider is my role model, everyday I aspire to be a little more like him. I love Pokemon to death, it’s my lifeblood and a pokeball was my first tattoo. I will inevitably get a homestuck tattoo but money, y’know. Also I think beetles are really cool. Feel free to hmu on my personal if you want to ask more things about stuff that is my opinion.
Additional Fun Fact: my babe used to follow this blog looong before they met me. They said it was super weird finding out I ran it.

The MSPA snapchat is officially underway, providing us with that “extracanon content” that was promised earlier. We won’t be posting every image here on the wiki tumblr, but we might find a way to document this all in a new page on the wiki itself.
Probably a dumb question, but how do SBURB/SGRUB players know their titles/classpects? Does the game tell them, do they just kind of know, or do they genuinely not know much until they go godtier?
They learn it from the lore of the land or from their consorts/sprites/carapacians
What exactly is/was the Beat Mesa, and what role did it play in Sburb and The Scratch?
The Beat Mesa is a construct that holds a massive amount of temporal energy that Skaia needs in order to enact the Scratch.
Basically, it’s like a fire hydrant that you crack open when there are too many irons in the fire. And the hose directs the water to make the fire go out so things can go smoothly next time.
How many times have you read homestuck? First page to whatever page was newest.
Twice. Back in 2012 and 2013. I read through Acts 1-4 last year. And I jump all over the place when I’m trying to answer questions. So all-in-all I’ve probably read it significantly more than that. But straight front to back, only the two times.
Now I'm curious!! What was the latest upd8 when you caught up to Homestuck the first time? Personally I binged from Act 2 right into Horrorstuck and what a beautiful regret that was
I don’t remember specifically, but I want to say it was right around [S] Jane: Proceed, maybe a little before
I checked the entire word-log of Homestuck, and not once does it mention anyone getting a haircut or cutting someone's hair. The only time scissors are mentioned is when John checks his dad's wallet out, wherein lays "Scissorkind". Fun fact for YOU!
Well if you want to get technical, this video is linked twice throughout the comic and Cameron Poe mentions meaning to get a hair cut in it
