How did Davesprite die? I probably skipped it, but in one of the recent updates, someone said that Davesprite died?
He died when Typheus destroyed Lowas during Jade’s three year trip.
what would happen to the mayor if the kids won the game? im rlly worried about the mayor
They would take the Mayor with them to the new universe and rebuild Can Town obviously.
Dumb question, how is Aradia pronounced? Like uh-Ray-dee-a OR uh-rah-dee-a? Or is it unspecified/or I'm way off?
Hussie left the pronunciation up to the individual. I personally pronounce it the second way.
How much of the new timeline do we know is changed/unchanged (aside from the characters deaths being averted and johns quest)?
In this post retcon timeline Aranea never got the Ring of Life and Vriska never died.
is there any explanation as to how the guardians know about the game? how bro knows how to start the scratch, even what a scratch is, how mom knows to open up the secret passage for rose?
All of the guardians knew about the game except possibly for Dad Egbert. It’s stated on this page that Mom was studying celestial anomalies at the request of a wealthy scientist who may have been Grandpa Harley since his company Skaianet made Sburb the game in their universe.
Wait, so every session needs a time and space player for it to work, right? So, what about the Alpha kids' session? None of the post-Scratch kids have those aspects. Is it because they couldn't initiate a Scratch, since they ARE post-Scratch? Or is it because their session is doomed? [By the way, your blog is awesome!]
Thank you. Their session was always meant to merge with the Beta kids so Dave and Jade are their Time and Space players respectively. Their session isn’t doomed, it’s a void session because they didn’t prototype anything pre entry.
I dont think this has ever been explained. How does the Condesce controls Jade? It's something about the green sun but i think i missed the explanation of what it is exactly
The Condesce has Nitram powers to control beasts and since Jade is part dog this makes her vulnerable to those powers.
Sorry if this was asked before, but how many mods are there, and who are they?
FAQ
im just saying dude thanks for doing this, im actually pretty impressed you know this much about homestuck. keep out the good work
Thank you and we appreciate your compliment.
With reference to the post about Mom and Skaianet, Hussie said in the books that it's often missed that he was trying to imply that the pink bedroom in the Skaianet lab near Rose's house is where Mom was raised. She does work for Skaianet, because she was raised there, possibly by Granda Harley himself, then became a scientist for him, which is why the lab connects to Jasper's mausoleum.
what does FLARP stand for?
The acronym LARP stands for Live Action Role Play. What the F stands for is unknown but it may stand for Fatal.
Wasn't it said that the decedent of the signless would have a relationship that would transcend Quadrants
No, the Signless was the one who was stated to have a relationship with the Disciple that transcended the quadrants. Although Karkat may be capable of that too.
Do Karkat and Terezi still care about each other, even in this new timeline? ~the curious karezi shipper~
They’re probably still good friends.
sorry, i know you've been asked this before, but when is gamzee ever mind controlled in the comic and could I have the source please? i remembered you saying that most of his actions were of his own accord, but i can't remember what the ask fully said. thanks so much and love your blog!
Aranea mind controls him here and does so all the way up until Dirk tries to rip her soul out.
how does the condense have all of her powers (serket nitram captor etc.)
FAQ
Are you able to prototype a sprite with living things?
Yes, Davesprite was prototyped with a living Dave.
I'm sorry to Mod A but a lot of your replies to these asks are flawed and incorrect.
Sorry, I’m still getting the hang of being a mod. I’ll double check all my sources from now on.
im on mobile can you link your FAQ?
Here you go.
The Dave that became Davesprite was from a doomed timeline, though. It's been stated that kernelsprites prefer "the dead and doomed," and so far the only living thing to enter one was Bec
This is true, the kernelsprite does prefer dead or doomed things to be prototyped.
Wasn't Gamzee and Karkat Moirailship established right around when we meet trolls? I believe right around when we meet Karkat...
Karkat states that Gamzee is his “AWFUL BEST FRIEND” when we first meet the trolls but they only become moirails here after Karkat shoosh paps him.
So you said in the FAQ Aradia always was on her sacrificial Slab so did she ever have a bed in one of the towers or was she just always on the Sacrificial Slab?
Her dream bed was always at the center of Derse and her dream self was always there from the start.
Where is Vriska going? She talks like she will leave soon, but why and where?? Thank you (and sorry if this has been clearly said somewhere)...
Vriska has not revealed where she is going yet.
Why was Caliborns leg healed after he god tiered? Wouldn't it re-form like Vriska's arm did?
Caliborn’s metal leg stayed with him after he ascended probably because he preferred it that way.
what flashes are aradiabot in? sorry if this isnt the place to ask but if there is anywhere else more fitting to ask this, can you please link it so i can ask correctly?
She appears in [S] Make Her Pay and [S] Wake.
how did aradia get away from jack after freezing him, when she just rose to god tier?
Jack’s body is a portal to the Green Sun so she leaps through him to the Green Sun.
ive asked this for like 5 times and still not answered :/ how did dirk and roxy survived? i mean even tho there were supplies they were just little babies. how did they learned how to write and read?
Roxy was raised by the carapacians which was said by Dirk here. The details of Dirk’s childhood are left unmentioned.
So Tavros is allergic to cats/meowbeasts. That's a thing right?
Yes
Dirk was raised by sawtooth and squarewave
Actually Dirk built Squarewave and Sawtooth himself.
What is the frog stage platform thing and why are the kids/ trolls there? How did they get there?
These updates take place soon after they break Jake and Roxy out of Derse jail. The platform is where the door to the new universe will appear once they beat the game. We’ve seen it before with the trolls.
So what is the ultimate objective of Sburb?
To create a new universe.
Where were limebloods mentioned in the comic?
Calliope mentions them here.
Hey my friend said that Kankri's like all about equality for everyone and like a feminist and stuff but my other friend says that he's an asshole and has a big ego..? I haven't gotten far enough into the comic to even meet the dancestors yet(and probably won't for a long time) so could you clarify how Kankri acts and stuff for me if possible? (srry that this is long)
Kankri is sort of like the opposite of Karkat. Karkat yells often and acts crabby but he actually cares for his friends and has some low self esteem. Kankri’s front of social justice and political correctness conceal his judgmental nature.
how do we know x5 Showdown didn't happen?
That flash originally happened after Terezi killed Vriska but John interrupted and Gamzee was already tied up so there was no need for Karkat to pacify him.
Do the trolls who was killed age? Or was 16 year old Meenah togheter with a 13 year old Vriska?
Ghosts don’t age but Vriska had been in the dream bubbles for a while. So physically yes there is a 6 year age gap since Meenah is 19.
Hey, I'm catching up on the update and I got to MSPA Reader: Mental breakdown, but I think I had a hard time following it and I want to know if I missed anything. Would you mind summarizing it, or if you have already direct me to where I can find it? Thanks, sorry to bother you
That flash was supposed to recap Lil Cal’s journey all the way up until the update where the souls of Caliborn, Arquius, and half of Gamzee were trapped inside him. His timeline both pre scratch and post scratch were a bit confusing and that page cleared it up.
what's the difference between wigglers and wrigglers?
The word “wriggler” has actually never been mentioned in-comic except once by Roxy here when referring to human babies. I just used the MSPA search function and it wasn’t used by any trolls at all. Wiggler however has been mentioned many times and is in fact a baby troll.
In what panel did Roxy actually make a whole matriorb?
Roxy has yet to make a complete matriorb but she came close.
So my friend told me that in order to have a proper session, you need to have a time and space player, but the alpha kids don't. Could you clear this up?
Their lack of Space and Time players is due to the fact that their session was always meant to merge with the Beta kid’s. Jade and Dave are their Space and Time players.
Okay, I know that Arquiussprite is a mix of Equius and Dirk's shades. But why is his name ARquiussprite and not ... Shadeuiussprite or Equiadessprite? Where does the Ar come from?
AR was just Auto Responder’s initials. The artificial intelligence in Dirk’s shades was called Auto Responder before he decided to be called Lil Hal.
hey d'you think kanaya and karkats special quest thing is them going to sacrificial slabs to god-tier?
They have no Sacrificial Slabs to die on. Their quest will most likely be retrieving the Genesis Frog from Echidna.
Am I missing something or are Karkat and Terezi the only remaining completely mortal members of the group? Like, even if they win they will grow old and die while the rest lives on.
Kanaya, Terezi, Karkat, and possibly Gamzee are the only ones who aren’t godtiers. So yes, if they do not find some way to ascend they will eventually grow old and die.
Whatever happened to Viceroy Bubbles Von Salamancer and his undead army?
The Viceroy and their army may still be on Lomax, Jake’s planet.
Is there any reason why Karkat hasn't gone godtier yet?
Both his Quest bed and Sacrificial Slab were destroyed by Bec Noir.
What exactly is the vast glub, vast honk, and vast croak?
The Vast Glub was a psychic shock wave released by Feferi’s lusus that killed every troll in the troll’s universe except the Condesce and Feferi. The twelve trolls we know were able to escape it because they had already entered the Medium. The Vast Honk is the sound Lord English released once he had emerged from Doc Scratch’s body. The Vast Croak is the sound that the Genesis Frog will release when he finishes growing in the middle of Skaia.
why is robo jack going on his way to where all the trolls and kids are?
Once he escaped from Doc Scratch’s house he appeared in the Furthest Ring. He saw Skaia and said “It’s the fucking JACKPOT.” and then started flying towards it. His intentions are unknown.
Sollux didn't escape the Vast Glub, Feferi had to revive one of his dream selves for him to be able to enter the medium.
Yes, Sollux didn’t escape it and he had to be revived by Feferi.
Was Echidna seeking the audience of Kanaya and Karkat ever foreshadowed?
It was first mentioned by Grimbark Jade on this page.
what happened to Aradia and Sollux?
They’re hanging out in the dream bubbles.
Where is it said that Dave's eyes are red, and Dirk's eyes are orange?
You can see Dave’s eyes are red in this flash and see Dirk’s orange eye color in this one.
Was it ever said what Aradia's lusus was?
Aradia’s lusus was a small ram-like creature seen on this page.
