Can you gimmie a link to when we see the hellsman? My bff said the ancestors wernt in the comic and that they were all fanon made

You can see the Helmsman on this page.  

what was condesce doing in the ship for all those years

She was exploring space and conquering new races and planets. 

Why did the Condy make Jane her Heiress?

The Condesce made Jane heiress because she was a Crocker and she was going to inherit the Betty Crocker baking empire when she became of age. 

Alright, time to bombard you wih some questions. First, which earth was the one that got sucked into the black hole in [s] Caliborn: Enter, second, HAVE YOU SEEN THE VIDEO CALLED [S] Cryscalmetheborn: Enter??? It's [S] Caliborn: Enter synced with Crystalmethequins :oo

Post scratch Earth got sucked into the black hole in [S] Caliborn: Enter. I just watched [S] Cryscalmetheborn: Enter and that was a pretty cool dub over.

Is dirk wearing tights under his godtier puffy pants or are those his bare legs?

I’m pretty sure those are tights.

i always was confused about homestuck's multiple selves. so there's the real self and the dream self... the real self dies and the dream self becomes god tier, but if the dream self dies before that then you're fucked? like... that one green cherib's dream self died and she's never appeared again. but i think they said that lots of trolls' dream selves died, karkat's died especially fast, but karkat is still alive but can never go god tier?

The dream self only becomes a godtier if your main body dies on your Quest Bed. If your dream self dies then you can still use your Sacrificial Slab at the center of the moons of Derse or Prospit to ascend. Calliope’s dream self was killed and she never came back because Caliborn took over the body. Karkat’s dream self died and he has no way to go godtier because both his Quest Bed and Sacrificial Slab were destroyed by Bec Noir. 

Is the meteor fall event that starts in SBURB restricted to each session chain? As in would each session chain experience their meteor apocalypse at different times?

The meteors flying at Skaia is called the Reckoning and it’s initiated once the Black king and his army defeat the Prosptians. Depending on how many players there are, yes the Reckoning could happen at different times in different sessions. The Beta kids’ Reckoning happened early because Jack Noir killed both kings and started it before the war was over. 

How do ghosts and dream bubbles work?

When you die, you wake up as a ghost in a dream bubble. The dream bubble’s environment can change according to the memories of the ghosts in the bubble. 

few questions: 1)since John died in the new session(a2?) and we have the 'original' John, would that mean that this Jade(A2) would be his sister stilloe not because she is the same/ different person, 2)what happens to your actual body when you ascend? does it stay dead or is it healed and asleep? and 3) what happened to everything in the pre-recton session? Was it erased/never happened or was it kept there(with the exception of LoWaS)

1. Jade is still his sister she just has different memories of their three year journey than he does since she was alone the entire time. 2. Your real body when you ascend stays dead. 3. The pre retcon timeline was erased since John prevented Aranea from getting the Ring of Life in the first place. 

How can I find out what song is playing on a certain page?

Here is a list of Flash pages and the names of the songs playing. 

When did Karkat's first conversation with John happen from John's perspective?

Right before he initiated the Scratch on Lohac.

isn't jake allergic to peanuts?

Yes

Are there any implications that Latula actually can smell, and is faking her "disability" for attention?

No, she actually can’t smell. The whole rad girl act is forced because she wants people to think she’s cool and because she’s embarrassed by her lack of sense of smell.

Is there an official class and aspect quiz anywhere online? Or is it primarily just fan made stuff?

I’ve seen this quiz being used a lot but it’s fanmade. There’s no official classpect quiz. 

ive seen an other outfit for pages then the one jake has, did tavros ever have a canon godtier picture?

Yes, you can see his godtier outfit in [S] Caliborn: Enter.

How do we know that Karkat is the knight of blood (or would be, if he ever ascended)? I feel like it was passively mentioned somewhere but I only ever remember finding fanart.

His godtier title is mentioned here.

Heiress? Do you mean the new human/troll shown? And do you have a link that will give me more info on Hiveswap(or Hivebent, Ive seen it be called both)

The Hiveswap heiress was introduced in this post by the production team behind the game. The official website for the game is www.hiveswap.com

how exactly was gamzee able to get to caliborn's session, and where did he get his godtier suit? How did he survive being shot hundreds of times? i know that the higher end of the hemospectrum is harder to kill but feferi died just from getting hit with a wand attack, didn't she?

Gamzee was able to get into Caliborn’s session because he stayed on post scratch Earth and waited until the cherub egg was laid there and then took care of them. He entered into the Medium along with Caliborn. Gamzee assembled his god tier suit himself. He was able to survive being shot many times over because it wasn’t his “time” to die yet. Gamzee knew when he would actually die so up to that point he was sort of invulnerable. Also, he’s a rascally clown and they’re hard to kill.

Would it be possible for Jane to revive the previously dead characters? like Feferi, Eridan, Nepeta and Equius?

Their corpses were mangled and their heads were cut off by Gamzee so she most likely can’t revive them. Equius was already revived by being prototyped. 

do we ever see john going trickster mode? because i see people talking about it but i dont remember it... thank you!

In [S] YOU THERE. BOY you can hold down Ctrl + T or Ctrl + Alt + T and you’ll be able to see John’s Trickster sprite. He doesn’t actually go into Trickster in the comic, this is just an easter egg.

what happened to nepeta's hat?

She gave it to Equius.

I'm a little confused with the new sprite prototyping, I thought i sprite can only prototype two times, but that don't count if there is a first prototyped sprite and a second sprite that combine? and Vriska said that Tavsprite should be careful around Jake to not combine the two, but if that is a risk why didn't John who high fived a first prototyped sprite combine?

Rosesprite was only prototyped once and Jaspersprite merged with her which was her second prototyping. Vriska is being overly cautious probably because she doesn’t want another Tavrissprite situation to happen.

Did it ever say which Jaspersprite prototyped Rose? Because there's two of them now, aren't there?

It would most likely be the one that rode over on Lowas with John since the other Jaspersprite wouldn’t have known she was buried there.

So is Karkat still black for John or not? He seemed pretty dodgy when Dave asked, so I don't know what to think.

He’s probably not. Karkat and John seem much more amiable around each other and they’ll most likely be close friends instead.

Can you find every page that first mentions every one of the Beta Troll's titles?

Karkat - Knight of Blood

Aradia - Maid of Time

Tavros - Page of Breath

Sollux - Mage of Doom

Nepeta - Rogue of Heart

Kanaya - Sylph of Space

Terezi - Seer of Mind

Vriska - Thief of Light

Equius - Heir of Void 

Gamzee - Bard of Rage

Eridan - Prince of Hope

Feferi - Witch of Life

if a god tier who didnt do anything wrong is killed out of mercy- e.g. They are being tortured- is it a Just death?

They would most likely revive. A Just death happens only if the godtier has turned evil or is committing evil acts.

With what we saw with rosesprite and jaspersprite, does that mean you could theoretically keep prototyping sprites with other sprites to create this monster mixture of sprites?

They were most likely able to merge because Rosesprite had only been prototyped once and could still be prototyped again. I doubt that two fully prototyped sprites could merge but hopefully spriting mechanics will be explored in more detail soon.

Is the current version of Vriska godtier?

Yes

Why does Jaspersprite+Rosesprite have legs, whereas all other sprites have those little ghost tails?

Possibly because they’re two sprites? We just don’t know. 

hi sorry, when a person goes god tier from the quest bed on their planet, what happens to everything in their sylladex? Does it stay on their body or is it brought with them when they go to skaia?

It’s transferred to their dream body on Skaia.

wasnt jaspersprite prototyped twice?

Yes, first with Jaspers’ corpse and second with the Eldritch Princess Doll.

What's the difference between a sacrificial slab and a quest bed?

A Sacrificial Slab is located at the center of a moon of Derse or Prospit. A Quest Bed is located some where on the player’s planet. To ascend on a Sacrificial Slab you need one body, to ascend on a Quest Bed you need both bodies.

What exactly is the red miles? And how is it powerful enough to destroy a universe?

The Red Miles are an attack that the Black Queen’s ring grants you the ability to use. Bec Noir was able to use them to destroy Bilious Slick because he had the powers of a First Guardian.

where exactly is sollux? is he still with aradia?

He’s with Aradia in the dream bubbles.

does it have to be the player's 'main' body that dies on the quest bed, and their dream body that goes god tier? or does it work either way, as long as one body dies on the quest bed and the other is still alive?

It’s the main body that has to die on the Quest Bed and the dream body ascends. 

whos billious slick? theres jack english, bec noir, and spades slick, which one is billious?

This guy, the Genesis Frog.

Was the word "anus" ever used in Homestuck??

No, sorry.

Is there already a post mentioning that higher blooded trolls use human terminology instead of typical troll terminology?

Yes, Eridan mentions it here.

What does 'lighting the forge' mean? Davesprite mentioned it once to Jadesprite, and I wasn't sure what he meant ;0

It means making the volcano “Forge” active again. 

If the beta kids scratched their session and caused the alpha kids to be made why didn't the beta kids cease to exist?

They would’ve ceased to exist but they escape their session. Jade and John went through a fenestrated panel and Dave and Rose rode in Derse’s moon to the Furthest Ring, the area in-between sessions.

Wasn't Gl’bgolyb Meenah's lusus too?

No, Meenah had a different lusus. Gl’bgolyb was only sent to Alternia after the scratch. 

In order, what are the steps to entering a session (steps to do with the sburb devices)?

The game begins when two players make the client-server connection. The server deploys the cruxtruder, the pre-punched card, the totem lathe, and the alchemiter in the house of the client. The cruxtruder lid must be hit with a heavy object and it will open, releasing the kernel sprite and cruxite dowels. Insert the pre-punched card into the totem lathe then place a cruxite dowel in its carving mechanism. The dowel will be carved in a specific pattern and athen you take the dowel to the alchemiter machine. It will scan the dowel and alchemize an object and you use it in a specific way. If you use your artifact correctly before the meteor destroys your home, you and your house will be teleported immediately into the Medium and you’ll find yourself on your planet. 

Why didn't Rose and Dave ascend on their quest beds?

Their main bodies were killed by Bec Noir.

RANDOM FEFERI FACT?

Feferi uses an ipad instead of a computer for trollian. 

what was meenah's lusus??

Her lusus is never revealed but it was probably some sort of high blood sea creature like the ones seen here.

what exactly does the Blood aspect do? is it something unique to Karkat, or is it possible for a player in another session to be assigned the Blood aspect?

The abilities of the Blood aspect aren’t explored a lot in canon but there are some interesting theories about the aspect. No, the Blood aspect isn’t specific to Karkat, Kankri is a Seer of Blood.

Does Horuss and Meulin have a healthy moiraillegiance or is it actually quite strained?

Their moirallegiance isn’t gone into detail in the Flash that they appear in, Horruss only states that they decided to become moirails after seeing how close Equius and Nepeta were.

What were the consequences of Karkat's sloppy frog breeding?

The Beta kids’ universe had cancer, that’s why Bilious Slick has a giant growth on his body. 

Dad fact: He is the only human character in homestuck to not be created through ectobiology, and, unlike the betas and alphas, has maintained the same role in both realities.

For that anon that wanted a Dad fact, here you go.

Where did it state that Karkat once had black feelings for Sollux?

Karkat didn’t have black feelings for Sollux, he actually considers him a good friend.
