This isnt a question, but just wanted to make an ask to recognise the true unsung hero of this fandom - this blog. Seriously you guys have been amazingly helpful to pretty much everybody in the fandom who's ever been confused at some point, and fielding all these questions now takes some dedication. Always helpful and well explained as well. A wonderful blog, thank you for it all.
Thank you so much! Your message means a lot to both of us. We’re very glad the blog has been helpful to so many people. We appreciate your kind message!
I thought if you win the game, you get your very own planet to rule over as Gods. Like how the trolls were supposed to rule over earth. How come they never mentioned it?
The reward of the game is the new universe. They don’t rule over one planet, they rule over an entire universe.
I'm so sorry I cannot provide a source right now because it is late at night where I live and I should be sleeping, but I think recall Vriska saying that on the new Earth she would throw Gamzee into the ocean at some point? And I think maybe she said something about how it would create life in the sea although this all may be incorrect and from vivid dreams please don't hate me I just thought I should bring it up incase it is true. I'm sorry of this bugs you or you already know this ect.
Why does the Black King wish to destroy the battlefield? What's the point once Prospit is defeated?
The Black King along with all Dersites do not want a new universe to be made and that’s why he initiates the Reckoning, so that Skaia will be destroyed and it can’t be used to grow the frog.
Are the password in Homestuck important to the plot at all and if so, when do they start being given? I don't want to use a password too earlier and jump ahead in the story.
If you’re just now seeing the passwords, don’t worry about them. They won’t be relevant for a while.
i remember there was a thing on alternia that trolls are killed before they mature into adults. is that right? and because the condesce is dead, will trolls be allowed to age into adult trolls now? thanks in advance.
The adult trolls on Alternia weren’t killed, they were all sent off world to keep them from forming a rebellion against Her Imperious Condescension.
I can't remember if it was mentioned earlier in the comic; did we ever find out what the deal was with Jake/Grandma's last name being English? Did it turn out to have some relevance to Lord English or was it just a dumb coincidence?? I checked Jake's wiki page but I didn't find anything. Oh, and I also want to thank you for keeping this blog up for so long! It helped me so much while I was reading.
I'm a little and I've been looking through your blog and I can't really find the answer to this, sorry :(. Did the version of the B1 kids that fought Lord English make it to the new world? Which version was that exactly? And if so, couldn't Vriska have gone with them? Sorry if this is an obvious question I've just been very confused :\
The kids who fought Caliborn in his masterpiece are the same ones who we see in Act 7. Why Vriska didn’t go with them is probably because she may have been destroyed with Paradox Space when she used the house juju on Lord English.
Sorry for asking so many questions while you're swamped! How did the Hammer of Zillyhoo end up on the meteor? Is it possible that the canon Bard GT outfit may look different since Gamzee was faketier? What is Homestuck 2.0? Finally, where in comic that they say troll GT wings are only folded, or did I largely misunderstand something? Thank you so much for what you do, and again sorry for asking so much, I honestly did try searching before this.
1. We don’t know how Gamzee got the hammer.
2. No, that’s the canon Bard attire since we can see Cronus wearing the same thing in [S] Ministrife.
im kinda new to homestuck and i'm a bit confused, does defeating the black king "stop" the reckoning from happening or is the whole war thing the reckoning itself? and does defeating the black king mean that you can still progress in the sburb game or do you have to scratch and go back?
The Reckoning is initiated when the Black Army defeats the White Army. Once the Reckoning is initiated the players have 24 hours to defeat the Black King before Skaia is destroyed by meteors and they lose. The Black King is sort of like the endgame boss.
What happened to johns wallet I remember game over terezi telling John about it but he didn't know what happened to it then it was never mentioned again? Was there any significance to that?
Hello! So I am one of those who believes Gamzee's Bard costume is not a real God tier costume, so do we have any examples of what a Bard really looks like? Maybe from Collide? Cronus?
Gamzee’s costume is the canon Bard attire, unfortunately. You can see Cronus wearing the same thing in [S] Ministrife.
Where is it stated that Grandpa Harley owns Skaianet?
Since Skaianet made Sburb and Sburb was adapted from the technology found in the Frog Temple on Grandpa Harley’s island, it’s hinted that he has a connection to Skaianet or even founded it. It would also parallel Grandma English founding Skaianet in the post-scratch universe.
Though the canon costume, how do we know if gamzee actually god tiered? If I remember right, didn't Kurloz gather the pieces? Plus his sprites in the ministrife had a god tier with wings, no?
Gamzee isn’t a goditer but he is wearing the correct Bard attire.
After rereading through the trickstersaga and the conversation that proceeded after it, I might've missed this but - How did Jane and company know that dying on the quest beds in their moons would give them a second chance at going godtier? Was this unlocked knowledge from going trickster, as that mode has been confirmed in comic as a unlockable cheat?
Rose has the Vision Omnifold, right? If so why? I don't think it's a Seer of Light power because the other visual powers are special cases like the Twofold (mutant ability) and Eightfold (probably also mutant).
Yes, alpha Rose had vision-omnifold and it was because of her being a Seer of Light. She also had visions.
I want to make sure you know that the tone I'm asking this with isn't aggressive, I just don't know how else to word this: how could the serket's vision eightfold not be a mutation?
Aranea states here that those of her blood type can sometimes have them naturally.
Oh so I have a Fankid that lost his arm before entering the game and used a prosthetic one before, i wanted to know if he'd have his arm back after he god tiered? And If one person would get their eyesight back after god tiering??
Only if they wish for these injuries to be healed. For example, if the prosthetic arm was something he liked about himself or felt pride in then it won’t heal during godtier. But if it’s something he didn’t want, like Vriska and her metal arm then it will heal.
hey, I love your blog, it helps me to understand a lot of things that I didn't before! anyways, could you explain to me the quadrants??? I've been trying to understand it for decades. thank you and I hope you have a nice day!!! ❤️
Matesprit is a romantic partner whom you love and can mate with. Very similar to human romance.
Kismesis is an intense rival that you compete with and can also mate with. Explained more in-depth here by Karkat.
Moirail is a platonic soul mate that keeps you emotionally balanced.
Auspistice is a troll who prevents two other trolls from entering a kismesisstude by playing peace keeper and mediating between them whether for personal reasons or because they think the kismesisstude could upset others.
