What is Jake's ringtone in the recent update?

Killed by BR8K Spider!!!!!!!!

Hello! I asked this before, but I don't know if it was swallowed up by Tumblr.... could I please get a link to the part of the comic where Vriska is bleeding out and starts mind controlling Tavros to write in her blood? Thank you!!

Here

If bec was not dead, than how did it prototype jade's kernel sprite?

Kernel sprites can be prototyped with living things.

I'm new here so I don't know if this has been asked in the past, but how was Aranea able to move planets?! Even if she was controlling ghosts with her mind powers, using mind control on an army of ghosts all the way in the furthest ring to have them throw planets all the way back where she is seems like a bit of a stretch (a rare thing in this comic, I'm sure :p ). Could't ghosts just influence the game from the furthest ring on their own then?

Aranea’s been honing her abilities for billions of sweeps and was mind controlling three Damaras, I don’t really think it was a stretch. As for whether the ghosts could influence the game I think it would depend on if they cared which it looks like only Meenah and Aranea did.

When Vriska is dying and Tavros is looking at his hands, what's the brown thing? Tears or blood?

Tears

Edit: Actually upon further examination of those pages, it’s most likely blood. 

so karkat's the only troll with a canon bday? when is it? more specifically I want to know if he's a cancer. ahaha.

His Wriggling Day is June 12

isn't there some special word trolls use for stomach?

I searched the troll terminology list and found no equivalent term for stomach. 

Basically here's the question i was trying to get at: Can Tavros control Bec Noir?

I would think that he would be able to but a lot of the fandom theorizes that the queen’s rings they wear prevent any sort of mind control. 

Can I ask why the condence wanted the alpha kids dead?

When she destroyed their moons she helped them go godtier.

long forgotten hs fact: homestuck sucks. there's time traveling bullshit, hussie inserts himself, and omg wtf am i even reading.

What idiom was being trollified here? "MEENAH: i never had the thump tortoise to tell her though"

Heart?

I think take last anon was actually asking why HIC wanted to kill the Alpha kids. Just so that anon knows: HIC thinks humans are disgusting. She eliminated their entire race during Dirk and Roxy's time, beside those two. She wanted to kill them to finish the job and also to get them out of her way during their game session.

The Condesce needs the kids to finish their session because her goal is to escape to the new universe and hatch the matriorb and rule over the new population of trolls. She sent droids after Dirk and Roxy when they were on Earth to force them to enter the Medium and play the game. 

Toss a random John Egbert fact?

John watches Star Trek. 

How did Jade turn half-dog when she reached God-tier?

Jade’s main body died on her Quest Bed and when you use that method to go godtier, your dream self is the one who ascends. Jadesprite was prototyped with Bec and Jade’s dream self so she was the one who went godtier. Godtier Jade has dog qualities because Jadesprite was part Bec. 

did wv, ar, and pm exist post-scratch? if so, what happened to them?

They do not exist post-scratch.

OK so its been said that Gamzee and Feferi are durable due to their high blood caste and even Terezi was shown taking multiple wounds before dying. So why was Bec Noir able to kill their dreamselves with just a sword stabs?

Because after that he attacked the moons with a First Guardian attack and incinerated all of them in green fire. Also I don’t think even a highblood like Feferi could survive being bisected.

Did Aradia and Kanaya ever interact in canon?

Yes

hi ! thanks for the work you guys put into this blog!! i saw a post about john having been to alternia and i don't remember it happening, is it correct info or what ?

Yes, but only for a moment.

how did wv realive after cascade

The meteor passed through a dream bubble and a ghost godtier Feferi healed him. 

So today I was redoing the game on Act 6 Intermission 3 and I happened to reread the part at the end where Aranea talks about Porrim. Basically what I'm trying to ask is did Aranea sleep with Porrim or were they just red for a good second or so? Thanks!

They had a red fling for about half a sweep which is roughly a year. 

Was Damara forced to work for Lord English or did she willingly work for him?

The Handmaid was forced to work for him but Damara has chosen to.

do we know the status of pre-retcon davesprite AND retcon davesprite? thanks!

Retcon Davesprite is dead. Pre-retcon Davesprite may have hitched a ride on Lowas to the new timeline. 

If ecobiology is required, why didn't the prescratch trolls feel they had to do it? Like, with the kids, the pre scratch kids created everyone, where as the post scratch trolls made the pre scratch ones. I'm sorry if this question is confusing. Thanks :)

This is in the FAQ

Why did Tavrisprite explode?

Because they had such conflicting personalities. 

Where does it say that Sollux killed Aradia?

Here

do u have a screenshot of when it states or who states that damara works for LE? or, if it is mentioned in the flash thingies, don't worry abt trying to hunt it down, haha.

From the wiki page where her translations are.

where is the page where Gamzee looks into Lil Cal's eyes?

Here.

Where does aradia take revenge on vriska??

[S] Make her pay

Is it stated in canon that lowblooded trolls have a shorter lifespan that highblooded trolls, or is that just a fan theory?

It’s canon.

Can you explain the whole ectobiology thing? Like I've heard Dirk is Dave, and Dirk is bro, and that makes bro Dave??! I still get super confused about it.

Dave’s bro is pre-scratch Dirk and Dirk’s bro is post-scratch Dave.

Do we ever see Alpha Dave?

Here.

In what pages do we find out Karkat liked Kanaya?

He doesn’t like her romantically but they are good friends. 

where does the mouse in jake's pocket come from?

Vriska probably put it there.

Wait, Im confused. Why did Vriska make Terezi blind? Was it important or something???

FAQ, anon.

i have never understood ectobiology! how does it work, what does it do, and what was the purpose in the sessions? thank you, and have a nice day! :-)

From Hussie’s second recap log.

Ectobiology is necessary to produce the players and complete the time loop and in case of a scratch where you would have another group of players available. 

Do you ever feel like some of the people asking questions didn't even read the story?

What or who is gcat

Gcat is post-scratch Earth’s First Guardian.

Thank you for the g cat answer but wtf is earths first guardian?? Is that like what jades dog is? Whats the deal with jades dog? Im sooooo confused im sorry :( ;-;

A First Guardian is an entity that draws power from the Green Sun and “facilitates the planet’s true purpose”. Each planet has a First Guardian. Jade’s dog Bec is the pre-scratch First Guardian of Earth and Gcat is the post-scratch First Guardian. They’re created with an especially potent genetic code that grants them omniscience and other powers like teleportation. 

If nanna and grampa were created by ectobiology, how does dad exist?

Nanna Egbert had a child with an unknown suitor the old fashioned way.

Whats the deal with johns sister like what even is that thank

John’s sister is Jade. 

Was there a Condesce on pre scratch earth?

Yes, she was the evil Betty Crocker woman who raised Grandpa Harley and Nanna Egbert. But one day she simply disappeared

Was there a fist guardian for the A1 universe? Or is Doc Scratch the first guardian for both a1 and a2?

The pre-scratch First Guardian of Beforus was never revealed. 

what happened to the glitches caliborn created ?

John blew them all away with the Breeze when he cleaned out the cartridge. 

Why is there not enough Jade in the recent updates

She’s taking a lil nap.

I just wanted to say thank you to all the mods and the blog as a whole for putting up with the community. Thank you for answering the stupidest questions and thank you for running this blog. That is all. Have a nice day.

Why did Vriska kiss Tavros?

Because he has a great rack.

who are the people john's (and i think jane's too) dad chat with, and that nannasprite eventually chatted with as well?

People who are passionate about garment maintenance and dad stuff.  

Who is the first guardian of Caliborn's session? also, how do we know for sure that caliborn's session has no scratch construct or that a scratch in his session wouldn't change anything? p.s. just wanted to say thank you for the dirty work you guys do here on this blog helping all of us confused fans

First Guardians are assigned to planets, not sessions. A scratch is caused by scratching the construct and sending it up to Skaia to switch the meteors of the Reckoning. Since Caliborn’s Skaia has exploded and he and Calliope were not created via ectobiology and he had no Reckoning, a scratch for his session doesn’t seem possible. 

What would be your (all mods) Classpect? :D

I’m a Sylph of Breath and Mod T is a Seer of Rage

just wondering when exactly Gamzee killed Tavros? I can't find it.

Gamzee didn’t kill Tavros, Vriska did.
