wouldn't there also be a quest bed inside prospit, or was that specific to just the alpa kids' session?

Yes, there are quest beds inside the moon of Prospit. This is a constant for every session.

In Cascade, why did Jade get Bec's powers? I know her sprite was prototyped with him but I thought that didn't matter. Like, why didn't davesprite merge with Dave when he ascended? Or am I missing something?

Jade got Bec’s powers because she prototyped her dream self in the kernel sprite and when you ascend using your Quest Bed your dream self becomes the godtier. Dave did not merge with Davesprite because it was a doomed Dave that was prototyped, not his dream self. 

So how did the handmaid (or damara I guess) come to be a slave of doc scratch?

He intercepted her meteor before it could reach Alternia and raised her as his own. 

How do you find something specific in homestuck, like how do you find a specific page you're looking for quickly?

I usually remember key phrases from the conversation that has the answer to the ask I’m answering and use the MSPA search function to find it.

Why are Nepeta and Equius moirails

Equius has got a temper and Nepeta is able to pacify him so he doesn’t become a danger to himself or others. 

Where did rosesprite come from? I forgot.

Roxy buried Game Over!Rose’s body on Lowas and Jaspersprite dug her up and prototyped her.

During (S)Cascade, Dave and Rose take out the Tumor, which houses two tubes, one red and the other blue. Is there a reason there were two tube-things?

The red tube contained the human’s universe and the blue tube contained the troll’s universe. The human’s universe was destroyed once Bec Noir sent the Red Miles into the Genesis Frog and the troll’s universe ended when Spades Slick shot Snowman. These two dying universes fueled the bomb and created the Green Sun.

How were the beforan trolls killed?

They were killed by Meenah with a suicide bomb.

where did all the trolls sprites go? were they just left behind when the trolls (sorta) won the game?

They all died.

Pls list everyone currently alive in homestuck??

Beta kids, Alpha kids, Terezi, Vriska, Karkat, Kanaya, Aradia, Gamzee, the Condesce, Arquiusprite, Tavrosprite, Rosesprite, Jaspersprite, Dad Crocker, the Mayor, Spades Slick, Ms Paint, the Felt, Bec Noir, Peregrine Mendicant, Jack English, and the Draconian Dignitary. I think that’s everyone.

Where's sollux? Did he die somewhere along the new timeline or is he with aradia?

He’s with Aradia in the dream bubbles.

I never really understood where exactly the command stations come from, could you clear that up, please?

A meteor from the Reckoning went through a Skaian portal and hit future Earth. A tree grew from the impact site and John’s station grew from the tree. The other ones arrived on meteors and all resemble the Beta kid’s cruxite object. To find out more about the stations themselves I suggest you look at this page. 

Is Dad Crocker dead or MIA?

Dad Crocker is still in Derse jail.

whats the space between the portals? I think its the dreambubbles but im not sure... is this where vriska is going?

It’s the dream bubbles. Roxy was trapped there once while navigating her house with the fenestrated panels and was attacked by Meenah.

what does retcon mean???

To go back and change something.

Can we have a random makara fact?

Gamzee once reached into his modus and physically retrieved his husktop instead of deploying it.

What is the list of people who can potentially defeat Lord English?

Dave states here that he thinks Jade could beat him.

What exactly happened to the black queen / snowman?

She was killed by Spades Slick during [S] Cascade.

Random Vriska Fact?

Vriska has been using the phrase “Why don’t you can it” from the beginning.

Can I have an Ampora fact please?

Eridan thinks magic is fun even though he believes it’s fake.

What were the specific pages where Vriska kept getting interrupted while trying to show us the house juju?

She started yelling about it here.

( I'm sure this is frequently asked but I didn't see it in the FAQ ) Was Grandpa Harley's presence in the medium ever explained? I thought he was still a corpse floating through space, or was until the universe was reset/green sun'd.

He used the portals in the Frog Temple to enter the Medium and get Jade’s dream corpse.

Does a successful Sburb/Sgrub session absolutely NEED at least four players to successfully complete the game? In the case of the cherub session, could that game have successfully worked with only two people?

The game could’ve successfully worked with two players since you really only need a Time player and a Space player to actually complete the session. Rose states here in her walk through that the game seems to suit two players most naturally, the server and the client.

has it yet been explained why the trolls universe resided inside Snowman's heart and not a Frog?

Doc Scratch bestowed upon her that condition when he recruited her into the Felt. The details of the process are left unknown but it made her blood blue.

What exactly is Cal?

Lil Cal is a puppet who has been identified as a juju so his existence is an ontological paradox and he has no true point of origin. For a timeline see this post. 

Does Caliborn's masterpiece, particularly the fight that occured, take place before, during, or after John's retcon?

Caliborn’s timeline has always existed post-retcon.

did eridan ever go grimdark? (im very confused sorry ;;)

No, Eridan never goes grimdark.

What is the goal everyone is trying to reach in the game? I see all these events happening, but I don't see what they're trying to get. Are they trying to reach skaia?

The kids, the trolls, and the Condesce are trying to complete the session to create a new universe. Spades Slick has unknown intentions and Bec Noir and PM also have unclear motives. Jack English is possessed by Lord English so his motives can’t be benevolent. 

How are all the kids together? Aren't they in different sessions??

They all recently arrived in the Alpha kids’ session. The meteor gang traveled through the Furthest Ring which is the area in-between sessions. John and Jade travelled through the fourth wall into a different dimension and into a different fourth wall and now they’re all in the Alpha kids’ session. 

wait, if karkat never became godtier, where did all the pictures of him being the knight of blood come from???

That’s a doomed version of him.

Daily reminder that Karkat hardly ever uses the phrase 'fuckass'. Jade says it more times that Karkat does.

John and Karkat have said it once and Jade has said it twice. 

WaiT... What is exile??????

An exile is a carapacian who has been exiled from their place in the Medium to the post apocalyptic home planet of the player they command. They type in commands in the stations to their player and the player hears these commands as a voice in their head. 

Why did Terezi wake up early?

When she was mind controlled to look into the Alternian sun, her dream self looked at Skaia at the same time and woke up.

What are the powers of all the trolls blood (Brown talking with animals, etc.)

Red bloods can have telekinesis.

Brown bloods can control beasts.

Yellow bloods can have telekinesis and some may have the eye rays.

Blue bloods can have mind control powers.

Purple bloods can have chucklevoodoos.

Sorry, but can you explain sburb? Like what do you do what is the archagent and how do you win. Thank you

Sburb is an immersive simulation that transports you into the Medium. The player’s goals are to build up their houses to each of the seven gates to reach Skaia and complete their own Denizen quests to win the grist hoards. The Space player specifically will breed frogs until they produce the Genesis Frog. On the Battlefield, which is the planet at the center of Skaia, a war is waging between the Prospitians and the Dersites. The Dersites are fated to win and the Black King will initiate the Reckoning causing all the meteors in the Veil to accelerate at Skaia. Skaia defends itself with portals, redirecting some of the meteors to Earth. The players have 24 hours to kill the Black King before the Battlefield is completely destroyed by meteors. After they defeat him they place the Genesis Frog at the center of the Battlefield and he’ll grow, eventually releasing the Vast Croak. A door underneath Skaia will appear in the shape of the logo which leads to the new universe.

Not really a forgotten fact since it happened like last week, but why were Vriska and Terezi arguing over who to use Kernels on to revive when Jane can just bring Nepeta Feferi and Eridan back to life?

Their corpses were mangled and their heads were cut off by Gamzee so Jane probably can’t resurrect them successfully. 

How many people run this blog, answers get posted so fast! Can i help out?

FAQ

Which sessions Jack is Lord Jack and how did he get that way?

Lord Jack is from the Alpha kids’ session and he was taken over when he looked into Lil Cal’s eyes and was possessed by Caliborn. After this he gauged out his eyes and cut off his leg, replacing them with Lil Cal’s eyes and a golden spike respectively. 

Seeing as the Condesce plans to win the game/ claim the reward for herself. Could a citizen of Derse or Prospit do the same? (Spades Slick when he saw Skaia)

The Condesce wants the kids to complete the game so that she can resurrect the troll race in the new universe and rule over them. She herself cannot win the game because that would involve speaking to Echidna to claim the Genesis Frog and Echidna wouldn’t give the frog over to a murdering sociopath. Only the players can complete the session.

Aranea said that Jake was important to her plan so his powers must be important, right? But in the updates he has been treated like he's garbage. is it because mentally he isnt stable or is Vriska and some of the others just being mean?

Vriska is being a jerk to him because that’s just how she is and she doesn’t realize how powerful his godtier abilities are. 

How about a Jake fact?

Jake likes girls of a cerulean complexion which is something that he and his pre-scratch self have in common. 

How are rainbow drinkers and regular vampire lore (immortality, severe food allergies, etc.) different?

Kanaya states on this page that regular vampire and undead lore don’t apply to her Rainbow Drinker condition. 

on page ?s=6&p=008090 we see John tearing up. Do you think that this is because he's happy to have zapped into a great movie, or upset or something. Its been very confusing to me.

He was overwhelmed with nostalgia over his renewed love for Con Air.

Where is Nannasprite?

Still on LoMax possibly.

What does retcon refer to?

The series of changes John made to the timeline when he followed Terezi’s scarf instructions.

Why did the exiles blow up their base thingys?

So that Bec Noir couldn’t use them.

Can we get a random Mayor fact?

The Mayor doesn’t have any nostrils but does have a sense of smell.

Why the trolls sleep in a horn pile?

There weren’t any recuperacoons on the meteor.

What do you mean by active/passive god tier? And which god tiers are consider as active/passive?

Calliope mentions active and passive classes here and here. Active classes exploit their aspect to benefit themselves and passive classes allow their aspect to benefit others. Some active classes include Thieves, Princes, and Lords. Some passive classes include Bards, Rogues, and Muses.
