where did u go

Me everyday for the last four months: I should get on FHSF today but I don’t really feel like it, maybe tomorrow. 

hello! is this blog dead yet?

Just a little bit

I would like to read home stuck, but I don't have a very long attention span, advice?

Read in little bits maybe? or watch the “Let read homestuck” series on youtube?

I actually forgot I was following you lmao

Forgotten Fact: You follow ForgottenHSFacts

Did you stop getting on because people finally stopped sending dumb asks?

Nah, I just haven’t been super into Homestuck, been focused on other interests and whatnot, plus like, it takes work to answer some of these questions and I just haven’t had the motivation. 

I was one a the fans to drop hs during the gigapuse and I dunno how tf to pick it back up—how long do y'all speculate it'd take to reread (if not I'll just jump in wherever caliborn started fucking the entire website rip)

Golly I dunno, I haven’t attempted a reread in a few years, since long before it finished. It also depends on how fast you read and how long each day you intend to read it for. It could take anywhere between 2-ish weeks to like a couple months.

do the trolls get culled if they don't fill the matesprit and kismesis buckets, or was that fanon?

Nah m8, that’s canon

oh come on, we all know vriska did

did what?? My god, Vriska got to them before they could finish their accusation! That devilish fiend!!!

Will you be accepting new mods at any point? I didn't see anything about mod apps on the FAQ so I figured I'd ask!

Not gonna lie I’ve been considering it. But since this is a separate blog and not just a side one I have to be really cautious who I let mod it, it takes a lot of vetting.  If I ever do open mod applications though I’d make a post about it. 

John was willing and able to travel on the meteor, why wasn't Jade?

Jade couldn’t teleport there herself, she only acts as a gateway to the Green Sun. I’m sure she’d have gone if she could have.

Is the voices that Sollux hear a gold blood or Mage of Doom thing? Or both?

It’s probably a Mage of Doom thing mixed with his mutant brain kinda thing

Did any of the kids ever meet the felt?

Jake and Jane meet them in Collide.  John met a few as well. 

isnt it true that when a troll dies they become a troll zombie?

That’s not true. There are Undead creature on Alternia but there’s no evidence that they are Zombie Trolls

Is the fact that lower bloods age faster and higher blood live longer Canon or fanon?

Low Bloods have shorter lifespans than Highbloods, that’s true but there’s no evidence to support that Lowbloods age faster.

Is the inversion theory canon?

It’s like, kinda semi-canon.  Calliope seems to mention it or something similar when she says: “ player abilities may also manifest in ways in defiance with their aspects if they are heavily resistant to their trUe calling. or, if corrUpted in some way by an oUtside inflUence.” You can see this inversion of abilities happen in Jade at the begging of the story, Rose when she’s Grimdark, (Vriska) when she becomes (Vriska) as well as probably a few others 

Why were the trolls so mad at Eridan for killing the angels when they were killing their denizens?

Well, killing angels was a big waste of time as Eridan had to blast them for a long time before they died and they didn’t even produce any Grist so there was no benefit to it.

Does anyone ever say "lol" in Homestuck? my top contesters are Roxy and Sollux but I can't remember

Nepeta, Vriska, Jade, Roxy and Davepeta all have said it multiple times (Jade and Roxy especially like wow) while Karkat,Terezi have said it once, John said “lolled” once. Sollux surprisingly only says it twice

hey, old homestuck fan who always stuck with karezi. I can't quite remember, but towards the end didn't it become canon in an alternate timeline or in the dead people place (can't remember what its called)? also it's great to see some posts from you again. :) excited for hiveswap?

The dead people place is called the Dream Bubbles! I don’t recall there being any canon Karezi but I’m sure it happened in at least one offshoot timeline.

And Yes, I’m very Excited for Hiveswap, I paid a lot of money for it and I can’t wait

Just after Cascade, with Spades Slick killing Snowman, how did he become a cyborg? Was it like Frieza after being vaporized by Goku during Namek's destruction and was then found by King Cold and rebuilt him the manner of The Six Million Dollar Man? If so, how?

Hussie did it! It’s shown in early Act 6 Intermissions that Hussie was nursing Slick back to health. 

Did the kids always dream on Derse/Prospit or did they just do so prior to the game's events?

Jade, Kanaya and Calliope dreamt on Prospit for several years prior to when they played the game. Others woke up shortly before or during Sburb/Sgrub

Why was Snowman the universe? Like when slick killed her the universe died or something

Doc Scratch tied her lifespan to the Universe because he knew Slick would eventually kill her and Lord English can’t enter a universe until it’s destroyed

I'm not sure if this is true but mutant/candy red bloods can remember things from their ancestors?? (I heard it from someone)

That’s not true.  The Signless was able to remember parts of his life as Kankri on Beforus due to being a Seer of Blood.

Have you joined the homestuck discord yet?

I don’t use discord so no

Hey has Jack noir, bec noir, from the kids sessions ever died?

Nope, not that I can find anyway

where can we see all the snapchats?

You can see them on the mspa wiki

Whaa? I completely forgot, the ancestors can remember beforus lives?

Just the Signless/Sufferer and only bits and pieces

Doesn't Eridan imply in his first log with Kanaya that he was awake on Derse too? He mentions having clouds but that they only show him bad stuff or something along those lines

Yes Eridan was awake, it’s not unusual for a player to awake on Derse/Prospit slightly before starting the game as shown with Jane, Eridan, Caliborn, and Dirk*

Why are the dancestors called dancestors? And what's the difference between ancestors and dancestors?

They call each other that because each group see’s the other as younger versions of their Ancestor and views their own group as the others’ Descendants. So they just call each other Dancestors to reduce confusion and because troll lineage is complicated

What exactly is Matchsticks' (from the felt) power?

He can travel to any time and place using fire as a gateway

Can I have a full list of the members of felt? Their names, what pool ball they represent and their abilities? Thank you!

forgottenhsfacts:

Itchy-One Ball: Ability to slow time down in reference to others (aka super fast)

Doze-Two Ball: Ability to slow time down in reference to himself (aka super slow)

Trace- Three Ball: Ability to see where people have been and can interact with them in the past

Clover-Four Ball: Super Lucky

Fin-Five Ball: Ability to see where people will go and can interact with them in the future 

Die-Six Ball: Has pins for each member of the felt and midnight crew, when he inserts one into his doll he is taken to a timeline where the corresponding character is dead 

Crowbar-Seven Ball: Is incredibly smart, the de facto leader after Scratch, has the Juju Breaker 

Snowman-Eight Ball: Her life is tied to that of the A universe 

Stitch-Nine Ball: Is a damn good tailor 

Sawbuck-Ten Ball: Whenever he is hit he and his assailant are jumped to a random point in time

Matchsticks- Eleven Ball: Can travel through time using fire as a gateway 

Eggs-Twelve Ball: Has an egg timer that allows him to travel up to sixty minutes into the past 

Biscuits-Thirteen Ball: Has an oven that allows him to travel to the future at a rate of one second per second

Quarters-Fourteen Ball: Possesses a collection of quarters bearing the images of pool balls. If a coin is tossed, the Felt member corresponding with the side that faces up will be summoned from some place in space and time. If the member on the other side is present, the two will switch places and times. If a member tosses their own coin and gets his own number, they will die  

Cans-Fifteen Ball: Can punch people through time

Doc Scratch-Cue Ball: Omniscient, semi-Omnipotent, and a Great Host

Lord English-Pool Cue: Omnipotent, Invulnerable, and Already Here

Do trolls actually all have ancestors, or is it just the main twelve that play Sgrub? I ask because I'm not certain if Sgrub sort of forced them to have ancestors through ectobiology or predestination.

All trolls are said to have ancestors, but not in the same sense as humans. A troll’s ancestor isn’t just the ones that provided the genetic material for them, if it was they’d have hundreds of ancestors each. A troll’s ancestor is the person who provided the majority of their genetics, usually by the time a troll’s descendant hatches they’ll have been dead for many many sweeps

Vriska lost her eye to one of Doc Scratch's possessions right? What was the item?

It was the Cueball! Vriska was (probably unknowingly) using Equius’s Void abilities to hide it from Doc Scratch but as soon as he found out she had it he was super pissed and exploded it

How did Caliborn destroy the Felt planets again??

He had to travel the core of each planet. There he would find a cueball bomb, he had to take the bomb out of the core to a very specific spot on the surface before it’s timer ran out (which got shorter with each planet he conquered). When the timer was finished and the bomb was in its designated location the bomb would go off pushing the planet into range to be pulled into the Black Hole at the center of the session.  If Caliborn failed to accomplish this with any of the planets he would automatically lose.

What planet did they use as earth c? Also, are those pics from act 7 from earth c (like the one with kanaya and rose and the text "thanks for playing")?

They took Earth from Universe B2 (the alpha kids’ Earth). They traveled to its distant future where the oceans had receded.  And yes, Act 7 takes place in Universe C.

if johns group came first and cloned janes group from their guardians, meaning that janes group are their 'parents', does this mean that karkats group are kankris groups 'parents?'

Possibly? With Karkat’s group being the ones to actually do the ectobiology it’s not entirely known. It’s implied that Karkat’s group are the “parents” but it’s never stated outright so we can’t know for sure 100%.

What's the inversion theory?

I discuss it here : )

is "rapkind" or "rhymekind" or "wordplaykind" or anything like that a valid strife specibus?

I don’t know how you could you those as effective combat weapons but if you use your imagination then anything can be a valid stride specibus.

If dorkroxy is considered incest, but it's not... why does the fandom think so?

Some people don’t understand how ectobiology works

Why did rose never learn to play the rain?

Hussie wanted to finish the story and didn’t have time to throw it in

Do we have any hints as to what the terrible event that wrecked Mituna's brain was?

There are plenty of good theories out there but we don’t really have anything concrete to go on, just that it happened from him exerting himself to protect his friends.

Which characters could hack into some sort of tech?

Roxy and Sollux are the main ones. Karkat and John also have some coding ability but not nearly as good as the other two.

alright so i was reading act 5-ish, and once, aradia calls a bath tub somethin' else, like a troll-lingo thing. but then equius is like no! don't call it that, call it by it's real name. and she calls it a bath tub. so like, the trolls speak proper english, but the lower bloods use 'slang' words? i believe it's also happened with eri and fef

Yeah, Hussie dropped that gimmick real quick.

how did karkat and dave become friends? like, karkat was totally angry and shit & dave was constantly messing with him, but then at the almost-end they're actin all cuddly & sorta being hinted at flushed ?

They spent three years together on a tiny meteor. Post-retcon Rose and Kanaya were busy being gay, Vriska and Terezi were busy being gay, and Gamzee was fuck off doin his own thing, so Dave, Karkat and the Mayor were left to become super best buddies forever (and then some??)

Is Redglare blind like Terezi or does she lack sense of smell like Latula? Since she technically is Latula. Or does she not have a disability at all?

She is never said to have any disability, expect for being dead and all

Is there a ranking to Clowns? If so, can you explain it please?

Weren't Vriska and Terezi moirails?

I still consider that pretty gay

Please god tell me dorkroxy is a name for johnroxy and people arent shipping her and Dirk in fucking 2017

You seem to be coming off a tad condescending and if that’s just me reading it wrong then I apologize but if I’m right then:

who gives a fuck about what other people ship?? like there’s nothing even inherently bad about dirk/roxy, like they’re the same age and they aren’t really related or anything. Like yeah Dirk’s gay in canon but John’s straight and people have been shipping him with dudes since literally forever, also What People Ship Doesn’t Affect What’s Canon At All.

Everyone has a crack ship or two, let them have theirs and get off your high horse

juggalos dont fall into the same category as the joker. where are they on the clown spectrum

That Homestuck Shit

Well ethnically Dirk isn't canon gay. He say himself he have the same sexuality and Jake, and we know Jake is bi-/pansexual. It's Roxy who calls him gay.
