is it possible that aspects could be gender specific like classes? we've never seen a male space or light player, or a female breath or hope player.
I don’t think we have a large enough sample size to determine whether any are gender specific. Some classes were stated to be in story so it’s certainly possible.
Ive heard a lot of people theorizing that hiveswap takes place a couple years before the start of homestuck, but that doesnt make sense to me. Namely, wouldnt the heiress be feferi? Or, if it was the A1 universe, meenah?
It takes place in 1994 on Earth and an unknown number of sweeps before the events of Homestuck on Alternia
Dont young fushia bloods have to kill the adult or non-heiress fushias? i know that (at least) 2 exist "peacefully" at the same time (HIC and fef) but didnt fef have to cull another fushia before the events of homestuck? if so its quite possible the hiveswap young fushia was the one she had to cull
Fef didn’t have to kill anyone. Only 2 Fuchsia bloods are alive at a time. When the young Heiress reaches adulthood she has to fit the Empress to the death.
How is there only two fuschias alive at one time? Are they extremely uncommon, or do they cull any fuschia grubs that are born while there's already two fuschias?
They’re just that uncommon. There are fewer and fewer trolls in a blood caste as it gets higher on the hemospectrum so it would make sense that there’s only one or two of the highest
Hey I read a lot about how apparently Dave wears sunglasses because he got teased about his eye colour and that John canonically wears hair gel. But I can't find any pages that show that so are these just really popular headcanons or??
how come Bec Noir shows affection for Jade (from the bec-part), but not John (from Nannasprite)
He doesn’t have any Nanna in him. Nanna was added to the sprite after John entered, the rings only use pre-entry prototypes because the sprites send their kernel data as soon as the player enters
In your FAQ you have a broken link to where Jasprose mentions Karkat being in a matespritship with someone on the meteor. They mention Karkat was rude towards his *desired* matesprite, and that it was no way to treat a "lady". And then Jasprose turns the conversation onto Nepeta. They were referring to Karkat's unrequited feelings towards Terezi.
Thanks for pointing out the broken link, I’ll get that fixed asap.
But I was refering the point a few lines later in the convo when Jasprose says
Hey so you have a program that can search through all the dialog, right? Could you please check all the uses of the word "exploit" [ including exploits, exploited, etc ] and "serve" [ incl serves, served, etc ] in the comic? Very specific I know but it would be a great help! [ I'm working on a classpect theory ]
No program, usually just use MSPA’s built in search feature or readmspa.org but here are the pages you request, it would take me a million years to link them all so im just putting the numbers.
I can't figure out how the treasure worked. Caliborn has it and the kids go fight him, then the B1 kids get trapped in there forever, but when do they go to fight him? And somehow while they're trapped in there it becomes intangible and John can reach in and change stuff? But he's still theoretically trapped in it? Vriska also uses it to fight LE so do the B1 kids get released and defeat him? The wiki says when caliborn sends a snap they go fight him but that doesn't make sense to me.
They credits were leading up to them going to fight Caliborn. The treasure can only be activated twice under very specific circumstances. The first time being to help Caliborn (him sealing the B1 kids in it) and the second time against him (when Vriska uses it). After Caliborn used it he sent it to the Furthest Ring where time is all weird. When John went to interact with it the circumstances of its use where not appropriate which is why he couldn’t actually touch it. And it is Unknown if the Beta kids got released from it upon it’s use against Lord English.

It’s because Gamzee is effectively immortal due to plot armor bullshit. So basically Gamzee’s in doomed timelines don’t die before the timeline is erased so he gets erased along with it.
I Do Apologize, But I Must Counter Your Point About Calliope. Space Players, As I Have Seen And Experienced, Awake Early On Prospit. Calliope Is A Space Player, Thus Is Awake On Prospit Prior To Entering Her Session, Although That Situation Became Quite Perplexing. The Better Question Would Be, Why Her Brother Calliborn Could Enter. The Theory In Our Thinkpans Is That Because Of The Cherub Species' Nature, If Calliope Was Awake, Calliborn Had To Be Too.
Other players can wake early too. Dirk was awake on Derse for years and Jane also woke there before she played the game.
No in gamzee and Karkat's first conversation they talk about being moirails. Karkat doing the pacification thing was part of them being moirails already
Okay I just read their first conversation, and Karkat spends the whole thing insulting Gamzee and telling him how much he hates him. That doesn’t sound very moirail-y to me
How did the shitty Statues of Liberty and the ectolab get to Earth C? I know both of those things were on Caliborn's Earth/LOCAM. Does that mean that Earth C is LOCAM? Is that even possible?
In a "normal" game of Sburb, would the players normally do ectobiology/end up meeting with their alternate universe selves? Or was that happening in the kids' game just a result of the unique circumstances?
Did anything from Jade's outburst post dream self dying carry on through the rest of the story? Or was it just a singular outburst from built up frustration?
She became a little less nice I guess, a bit more aggressive and demanding of troll bullshit making them use passwords and stuff to talk to her. But it may have just been the stress of Sburb because it doesn’t show up in Act 6 outside her Grimbarkness
youve probably already answered this but in act 7 when vriska brought out the house juju and it started flashing in the beta kids symbols, is that because they were trapped in there??? did they get stuck when they went back to face caliborn after he threatened john in a snapchat??? if so ):
hey! i remember this one part where kurloz was dressed with maracas and a poncho but i cant seem to find it? did i imagine it or is it an actual thing in the comic?
That’s definitely fan made, I remember seeing it before as well but it wasn’t in the comic
This isn't meant to be a counterpoint but didn't Dirk wake up because of Jake's corpsesmooch? For that matter why was Jane awake?
Dirk’s dreamself was knocked unconscious and then woken up again by the corpsesmooch. She just was, it might have been related to Jake’s dreamself being assassinated because she woke up during his funeral
We do however have a sketch from Hussie that showed Terezi in his regular style that had the long elfish ears!
I assume you’re refering to this sketch
but this sketch came out around the time of the trolls introduction and I can’t find another instance of Hussie-drawn trolls with ears so it may have just been a preliminary sketch or an aspect he dropped. Hussie also has a tendency to draws ears kinda big shown in some of the Hussnasty style panels so it might just be because of that.
Not directly related to this ask but as a disclaimer: I’m not saying you’re wrong if you choose to hc trolls with long elf-like or fox-like ears, but there is no certain canon about troll ears so please don’t use the lack of canon or the small amount of it to try and force people into headcanons.
Hi, you've probably answered this before but how exactly did Rose gain the memories from the Rose in Davesprite's timeline?
Basically she went to sleep at the exact moment the timeline was going to be erased so through some plot bullshit her doomed timeline dreamself merged with her alpha one thus she retained the memories
Everyone in the fandom and their mothers call Gamzee insane, but correct me if I was wrong: Wasn't he a genuinely good guy before Cal came around to f*ck sh*t up? He just wanted to chill out and talk with his friends and pray that Goat Dad would return, then Cal came along and made him 'insane'.
All I’m gonna say on the matter is his trollian handle is terminallyCapricious
Terminally (adv.): in a way that is predicted to lead to death; incurably.
Capricious (adj.): given to sudden and unaccountable changes of mood or behavior.
