do you think mutant bloods will still be culled in new earth / troll kingdom?

Heavens no

Why did dave call karkat problematic in the halloween snapchat upd8

I’m not sure? I would assume it’s a sbahj reference but I just combed through them real quick and I couldn’t place it. and it’s definitely not a reference to something that happened in homestuck, no one even says “problematic” throughout the entire story. Maybe it’s because he’s dressed up as a black guy? Not entirely sure.

how old was dave strider when he went god tier?

13

What do people mean by Rose being a window?

typo of widow since she is conditionally immortal and most likely will outlive Kanaya

Wouldn't it more likely be that mutant red, teal and jade would be considered desired colors since it's the colors of the creators?

It’s a possibility but I feel like they’d try to avoid creating another blood based caste system.

how did maplehoof get tiny in the B2 universe?

different horse

Are Dirk and Jake cannonly in a relationship still? If unknown, are there any cannon sources denying it?

They broke up, but whether they got together again or just went back to being good bros after they won is up to speculation

Is there any connection between Kankri and Meulin that would've become the relationship between the Signless and the Disciple?

Nope, Kankri was surprised about it too even saying in a conversation with Latula: “with… Meulin, 9f all pe9ple? 6ut that’s neither here n9r there. #Seri9usly. #I mean, she’s nice, 6ut… #Really?“

JANExROXYxCALLIOPE = CANON?

I have to say no, no matter how much it looks like at least Roxy/Calli is canon, it hasn’t been confirmed with words or kissing which is the only thing that some people take as confirmation that a ship is canon.

WHAT HAPPENED TO JANE WHERE IS SHE I AM SO SCARED

Tune in Friday to find out

Did Brobot ever talk in canon?

Nope

How do you feel about flushed Equius x aradia ?

It’s okay, maybe a lil creepy. I prefer that ship when they’re red/black vacillating.

How tall are the ancestors?

This is all subjective as with everything about a character’s appearance in Homestuck.  In Collide, we see Condesce is about a head taller than Jane, not factoring horns. All the kids are roughly the same height here. And Dad Crocker is just the tiniest amount taller than John. Assuming Dad is about average height which of Men in the USA is 5′10″ we can estimate that Condy is probably around 6′3″-6′4″. Then we take this panel of Condy and Handmaid, adjust their posture so they’re standing up relatively straight (altered pic under the cut) and Condy looks just a bit taller than Handmaid who is probably about 6ft even. We don’t really see any of the other ancestors in a good comparable picture with anyone so I can’t speak for them, but based off the top and bottom of the hemospecturm I’d say average adult trolls probably grow to be about 6/7 feet with the obvious out liar here and there.

Again, this is all subjective, and likely wrong. If you think this is wrong please just add on to the post with your alternate opinion/fact checking and not by sending in asks

I hope this doesn't take too long to explain but what is the reckoning? I never understood it

The Reckoning is what happens when the White King’s Scepter is activatesd (usually by the Black King) after the White King’s army has been defeated. It launches meteors from the Veil towards the Battlefield. Skaian Defense Portals redirect as many as they can but it is limited in how many it can redirect. The players have to defeat the Black King and stop the Reckoning before it destroys the Battlefield or they won’t be able to produce a Genesis Frog and win the game.

Has Aranea ever shown quadrantic interest in any troll other than Meenah?

She had a “brief” red fling with Porrim. ⁽ᶦᵗ ᶫᵃˢᵗᵉᵈ ᵒᵛᵉʳ ᵃ ʸᵉᵃʳ ᵒᵘʳ ᵗᶦᵐᵉ ᵈᵃʷᵍˢ⁾

Do trolls attend school?

They make reference to it every now and then so I’d think yes

equara was RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Okay, come on guys, they kissed one time. And Equ’s programming didn’t make Aradia do that, she ripped her heart out (where the chip with equ feelings was) before that.  And given that she was shaking him and slapping the shit out of him immediately prior to kissing him implies it was likely out of hate, not red feelings which is what Equ wanted.  What Equius tried to do was definitely creepy and manipulative but what ended up happening was not rape.

Ok, so in the credits it shows Caliborn with Gamzee. Does that mean Gamzee is actually out of the fridge now?

Gamzee has been with Caliborn for awhile now, likely the one out of the fridge, but who knows

Do one of the mods have a Steven universe blog? I seem to remember that being a thing.

Yeah, Mod A has one

There was a thirteenth Troll based on the Orion constellation.

If you’re talking about the one shown in Secret Sufferer, that’s non-canonical

are most if not all of the players' consorts supposed to be amphibian?

While all the consorts we’ve seen are based on amphibious animals, Salamanders are the only ones that are actually amphibians.  

The rumor come out: does karkat vantas is gay?

most likely bisexual

Fun fact about terezi and/or eq?

Once you get past Equius’s creepiness and social awkwardness you can see he’s really quite a sweat heart

When was the last time we saw Roxy's guns/where did they go?

The last time we saw one of Roxy’s guns I believe was when Vriska shot a fenestration window at Dirk

Aranea says trolls are bisexual during the leprechaun romance discourse.

right, mah bad, I was remembering the formspring wrong

"not red feelings which is what Equ wanted" Where did you get this? It was clear as day that Equius wanted to share a flushed RED romantic quadrant with Aradia. Don't you remember when he was slobbering all over the robot body? I'm pretty sure there were no feelings of rivalry or hate, just disgust towards her blood caste and "illicit forbidden love". Aradia likely never wanted anything to do with Equius, but thanks to alien romance "sure being weird" they ended up in a non-quadrant anyway.

I meant that Equ wanted red feelings which isn’t what Aradia expressed. So Equius didn’t get what he wanted.

What happens when a person's dreamself is dead and they go to sleep?

They wake up in the Furthest Ring which is where the dreambubbles are located

So for Halloween on snapchat Dirk had black hair??? I know it was part of his costume but did he actually dye his hair???

how am i supposed to know the answer to this

Kinda urgent for a friends' project: did anyone compare karkats horns in particular to candycorn, or is it a fannon thing?

I can find no reference to it in canon, it seems like a fanon thing

I’m just gonna jump in front of this before it becomes a thing. The 2017 Homestuck Calendar, along with all the other calendars are Non-Canonical.

Yes, one of the illustrations includes dead pre-scratch trolls on Earth C and you’re allowed to have as many AU’s, daydreams, and fanonical beliefs where this is the case as you like. But in canon, there is no evidence to suggest that the dead trolls did make it to Universe C.

Just wanted to get that out there to try and avoid future confusion.

At what point does Feferi make the deal with the Horrorterrors to fuse the dreambubbles? From both the Human and Troll perspective timelines

Right after [S] Jade: Wake Up. So shortly after Jade entered and Feferi died

what timeline is present jade from??

Post-retcon, as are all character except John, Roxy, one Nannasprite and half of Davepeta and Jasprose

why did typheus have to be a dick and kill john so early on in the journey? why couldn't he kill him near the journeys end?

Typheus killed John because he went to them too early, before he meant to.  Besides if he hadn’t then Davesprite never would have existed.

So does everyone forget that John can turn into the wind when he wants to, because he did that to evade Jade when she was evil? Did he lose that power later in the comic?

He first used it against Bec Noir while he was asleep, but no he didn’t loose that power, he should still have it

Could you please explain retcon?

Retcon, Retroactive Continuity. It is going back and changing or adding to a previously established fact.

In Homestuck’s terms it is different than time travel. It effects the Narrative itself rather than just a timeline and as such avoids the creation of doomed timelines.  Material in the Furthest Ring (dream bubbles and horror terrors) are immune to any changes likely (speculation) because they exist slightly outside the Narrative taking place almost exclusively in Intermissions.

Whatever happened to the post-retcon jaspersprite? The one that travelled with Jade on the golden battleship?

They’re around.

i think the typheus anon meant the alt. john who died on the three year trip :0

Oh in that case. Jade had to suffer the lose John did as apart of the deal. As for why so early in the trip, it’s because that’s just when he woke up. Upon waking up he acquired the knowledge of the deal John had made in the other timeline and followed through with it.

What happened to post-retcon Roxy?

she dead

Hey there; I love your blog! I have a quick question though. In the battle against English Jack and Slick, Dave uses Caledfwl (or however you spell it) doesn't he? How did he obtain it, since it was only alchemitized in the Game Over timeline?

He got a broken version back in Act 5 Act 2. Which was stolen by Hephaestus’s minion where it was likely fixed since Hephaestus loves that sword. Either Dave got it from him or just made another one off screen.

Where is the Davesprite that didn't become Davepeta?

Dead, he got exploded with Post-retcon John

Can you explain the white frog from your background photo?

No, I can’t, because we don’t know anything about it.
