●

Why were PM and Bec Noir fighting Dave in Game Over?

They didn’t want to give Jade to Dave or they probably thought he was trying to harm her.

●

How did Calliope and Calliborn play chess together? They have conjoined bodies.

●

What does pre-scratch and post-scratch mean? Or when people say "Pre-scratch kids" or "Post-scratch kids", what do they mean? Also what's Auspistices? I've read about what it meant before but I was still left in confusion.

Pre-scratch kids are John, Jade, Rose, and Dave. Post-scratch kids are Jane, Jake, Roxy, and Dirk. Pre-scratch and post-scratch are terms for the B1 universe and B2 universe. B1 universe is where John and his friends are kids and play sburb. B2 universe is where Jane and her friends are kids and play sburb. An auspistice is a troll that prevents two other trolls from entering a kismessisstude and stabilizes their relationship.

On this page Rose’s dreamself has a black aura around her but it’s because her main body was grimdark.

Dirk mentions here that his alien friend gave him technology to communicate specifically with Jake and Jane’s time period. This alien friend is presumably Calliope.

●

i don't really keep up with the latest in homestuck news. how's the development of the game goin? there is gonna be a homestuck game right? or maybe i just imagined the whole kickstarter.... idk... i don't trust my memory anymore.

The Homestuck adventure game is titled Hiveswap and is scheduled to release in mid 2015. You can find out more about the game on its website.

●

Im actually asking this because i want your opinion: do you think its a coincidence that Lil' Cal and Doc Scratch are both puppets?

Doc Scratch was made from Lil Cal and a white cue ball so it makes sense that he was a puppet. 

●

Does anyone know how hiveswap will be released? I heard it would be for pc, and that it has a steam page, but I'm not sure. Any definite info, or not yet?

The release date hasn’t been announced yet.

●

so what happened between meenah and vriska? i quite literally couldn't read that much text id also like to say thank you bc for someone who's unable to focus and whose head hurts when i read the comic with so much same colour text you have helped me a lot

Meenah left punk Vriska to go with post-retcon Vriska. Punk Vriska was last seen crying. Meenah and the post-retcon Vriska went to gather a ghost army but discovered that pre-retcon Tavros had already done so.

●

how do rose and jade become grimdark?

Rose became grimdark because she looked in the white cue ball to ask if the Horrorterrors were evil. Jade going “grimbark” is just a pun on her being possessed by the Condesce with the animal control power. 

●

When terezi rocked out on the guitar?

I haven’t been able to find the dialog or panel where Terezi plays the guitar but I’m sure she’d be very good at it.

She calls him that because he was excommunicated by the Highbloods when he couldn’t bring himself to kill the Disciple.

●

Where is the Handmaid right now?

She was killed by the Condesce.

●

So wait. If two players have the same God Tier aspect, does that mean they have the same Denizen?

It’s very common but not exclusive. Yaldabaoth was assigned to Caliborn, a Time player and Dirk, a Heart player. 

●

Are all the post-scratch trolls the same age as the human kids, 16 earth years?

The post-scratch trolls are roughly 7.3 sweeps which is about equal to 16 years so yes, they are.

●

Doesn't it say on Karkat's birthday that six sweeps is equal to thirteen years? That would make each sweep 2 1/12 years.

I’m just going by what it says on the wiki.
