Where does Calliope state (or heavily imply) she's aromantic? I recall her saying she doesn't feel romantic feelings but I can't remember if it was in canon or a fanfic.

She states here that she doesn’t experience flushed feelings

Does really call Karkat Karbro? I am in Act 5 act 2 so maybe he does then? Or maybe I forgot/missed something.

I can find no evidence of anyone calling him Karbro

What are gamblingants exactly? Are they pirate crews?

They’re pirates and thieves of a noble blood color

What was the point of the Adagio Redshift on page 5767?

Likely to show that fraymotifs weren’t an entirely forgotten concept

would it be possible for a troll to be aromantic? i'm trying to make a fantroll

I don’t see why they couldn’t be

if the Alpha session of Sburb (Jane, Roxy, etc) hadn’t any space nor time players, and meeting the players in the Beta session was somewhat unintentional/unlikely, how would they have succeeded otherwise?

Meeting the Beta kids was entirely intentional, the two sessions were always meant to merge as one

grandpa harley said that jade was destined to join the daughters of eclectica or something like that, what does that mean??

I think it just means if she works hard she too can be a strong beautiful women? Eclectica isnt really brought up again except when Jade makes a dress out of one of the pictures

All the troll dancestors have the same aspect as the beta trolls, right? Then why isn't it the same for the beta and alpha humans?

Because they’re all players in the same session

wait isn’t roxy pining for dirk incest? or are only the beta kids genetically related?

Only the beta kids were genetically related, the alphas are clones of themselves

Alright, so you've answered this in two variations before, but with contradictory answers: Is Dirk's tiny Maplehoof actually the Maplehoof that came down with Bro2—and if so, how the hell did it get to the future, never mind the diminution—or is it a different horse?

It’s likely a different horse. That or Dirk’s Bro kept Maplehoof alive long enough for him to get his hands on some miniaturization tech and a sendificator

how old was jade when she made herself the blue dress (i can't spell the name sorry), and how old was she when wearing her 3am dress with dave?

13 for both

Is Calliope meant to be 11 human years old? Meaning she would have the mentality of an 11 year old human

She’s the same age as the Alpha kids, she’s 11 Units old

Is there any canonical evidence that troll have breasts? I know Hussie once suggested a bunch of joke troll terms for bras but I'm wondering if there's anything more concrete, since they don't really seem to be mammals

Troll nipples get mentioned a few times by Arquius and Damara, whether that means trolls have tiddies is undetermined but likely

wasn't calliope confirmed to be 11 on 11/11/11 when she was revealed? she would have aged just as everyone else in the comic has, so she's not eleven currently

Right, at her reveal she was 11 Units, now she’s (based on some math) I think 15.4 Units

so uh, you know how w/ the mayor and PM and such, how they got introduced as 'many years in the future', but then all of the beta kids stuff happens over like 3 days right? And then Cascade happens, so like, is Skaia in the future as well as the present? Does time work differently between the kid's planets and Skaia itself?

Skaia exists on a different plane of existence. It works on a different timeline from the Genesis Frog. That’s how Grandpa Harley from the past and Exiles from the future were both able to interact with the Medium

Does Sollux shorten everyone's name?

Nope, I at the very least can’t kind him refer to Equius by a shorten name

When did the whole FLARP revenge thing take place? (More directly, how old was Aradia when she died?)

I don’t believe it was ever specified but it likely wasn’t too far in the past, a few months to a year-ish maybe

I remember, when Jade was telling Callie her story, that she mentions LOWAS exploding. What caused that explosion?

John’s deal with Typheus in the pre-retcon timeline cause Lowas to explode in the post-retcon timeline since John was going to bring the pre-retcon version with him.

Are only purple bloods subjugglators or can other casts be too? If it's just a purple blood thing are all purple bloods subjugglators?

All Subjuggalators are purple bloods but not all purple bloods are subjuggalators

Does anyone ever call Jane Crocker, Janey??

She’s been called Janey 20 times in canon, 18 by Roxy and twice by Jake

Ok I'm sorry if you'd anwsered this before but I'm trying to prove to myself I'm not crazy. Didn't rose have at like the begin of homestuck a background on her laptop of like a lady with tentacles? I've try to look back but I can't find it anywhere. Am i just imaging that? Or if it is really where is is?

You’re right, that’s what her background was

What are the canon birthdays for all the kids? I know John and Jade's are 4/13, and Jane's is 11/11, but I can't find anything on the other kids.

Jade and Jake’s are 12/1

 Jane and John’s is 4/13

Roxy and Rose’s are 12/4

Dave and Dirk’s are 12/3

in the post-retcon timeline, how did Vriska know about pre-retcon John and Roxy coming to where they were? i thought she was a thief, not a Seer

well you know Vriska, always stickin her toes in other peoples’ business, she had Aradia’s time travel tech so she probably went in to the future, got the dets, and planned accordingly 

Yikes okay I noticed what just happened with my ask and that you just answered a similar one, but I really want to know about the guardians too. When are their birthdays?

Nanna’s is 4/13 as is Bec’s. Grandpa Harley’s is 4/21.

That’s all we know. Presumably Grandma and Poppop’s birthdays are the same as above but we don’t know for sure. Likewise the various Bros and Moms probably share a birthday with their post/pre-scratch selves but it’s never been mentioned

i thought Jade is older than Dave???

She is, by 2 days

Ok i kkow that kinda weird and im still kinda new to the fandom but did people talk about the fact gamzee might not actually have scars? I flipped a lot between his sprites when i drew him and the "scars" and bloody scratches dont actually match. Idk i just wanted some validation, sorry to bother you.

I wouldn’t put it past that wily clown to paint on his scars

How come Jane died a Just death in Game Over? She hadn’t really done anything evil as such (well, apart from killing Jake, but he revived immediately).

She was being corrupted and controlled by an evil force i.e. the Condesce.

Why aren't trolls able to have siblings?

Because trolls just throw their genetic material into a big vat and it’s all mixed together. So it’s hard to figure out who’s related since almost all of them are to some degree.

How come the Jaspers part of Bec Noir didn’t make him feel affection for Rose? Is it just because cats are assholes?

Well Bec was charged with taking care of Jade so he was incredibly protective over her and that instinct was incredibly powerful, while Jaspers was only a pet.

what was the black hole seen in the Snapchat credits? was it the same black hole that was the center of Caliborn’s session, or something “spawned” by Vriska’s use of the House juju?

It was the one that Alt-Calliope created in Act 7

Why are there so many references to Saw?

In Saw II they’re Stuck in a Home *badumtsss* 

Is it ever mentioned in Homestuck that candy red blood is a limeblood mutation? On the new extended zodiac chart the Cancer symbols were lime colored, but was it ever mentioned before then?

It wasn’t but given Cancer’s placement in the horoscope cycle and color gradient it could be concluded that KK would have had to have been a limeblood to fit the patterns

if karkat wasnt a mutant would he be a lime blood?

most likely

Is it canon that Rose has purple coloured eyes? Or is that just something the fans decided to head canon on a large scale?

It’s canon

You don't have to say "most likely" it was very clearly confirmed with the Extended Zodiac

I’m afraid I do. Karkat’s symbol isn’t a lime blood one technically so if I say he would have been a lime blood 100% I don’t doubt I would get at least one person pop up in my inbox going “well actually”

Not really a homestuck fact but have you found out your symbol?

Yeah, I’m a Limini

Don't we see Karkat speak in lime blood text when he is shushing Gamzee?

the sound effect is in lime, yes

Was Rose Prospit or Derse? I think she was Derse, but I can't remember.

She was very much a Derse player

Do you by any chance know where the 'Dave's middle name is Elizabeth' thing came from

ancient fan comic from like 2011/2012, pretty sure Octopimp turned it into a video thus spreading it more

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Karkat's symbol based on the hand cuffs worn by the Signless when he was executed. It wouldn't traditionally show up in the standard trollian selection of symbols, would it?

you’re right, it was reserved for him alone

On the official aspect test I got time, but do u know of a good quiz to find out if im a rouge, bard, maid etc?

it was hinted that one for classes will be released eventually

In what panel is it confirmed that the classes of Prince and Bard are male-exclusive?

Callie discusses it here

Do we know what Aradia uses to time travel?

She used Quartz Music Boxes

Is it canon that Time players HAVE to be Derse? I'm a Prospit Time player according to the quiz, but I know all of the canon time players have been Derse dreamers, so I'm curious.

Nope, just coincidence like how all Space players have been Prospit dreamers or how Knights have helped with frog breeding in both sessions we’ve seen.
