Terezi’s computer.

forgotten fact about jake?

Jake’s chumhandle golgothasTerror is a reference to the place where Jesus was crucified. 

did rose ever "learn how to play the rain" or whatever? what does that even mean

Rose did not learn how to play the rain. Playing the rain means she’d have to “produce the musical analogue of a genetic code to reintroduce life into the ocean.”

Was it explained why doomed Calliope exists? I know it was some time shenanigan but what screwed up her timeline exactly?

In doomed Calliope’s timeline she and Caliborn had no contact with the alpha kids so she didn’t develop any human-like characteristics like empathy or timidness. Because of this she was able to predominate over Caliborn but in turn doomed the timeline

Would it be safe to assume that each session has the exact same set of carapacians? Or is it just the agents and kings and queens?

Just agents and monarchs. 

what determines who will wake up first as their dream self?

It’s not really predetermined who will wake up first although Space players do have a tendency to be the first. 

Do any of the Homestuck characters have actual canon voices or are their voices completely fan-based?

There are some songs that have voices in them that are meant to be interpreted as a certain character but these aren’t necessarily canon. Answered this here

Why did Aranea completely disappeared after Game Over? Is it about some rules of Life Ring? What about her copies which are gone too?

Explained here

Did the Beforans know of the Signless Sufferer before they died? Or did they learn of the ancestors after death and while trapped in limbo?

The Beforus trolls learned about the Signless after they died as explained by Aranea. 

are dreambubbles in sessions a rare occurrence, considering that a life player has to create them?

I do not think Feferi was able to ask the Horrorterrors to create the dream bubbles because she was a Life player, it was probably because she was a Derse dreamer. They’re the ones who are able to communicate with the Horrorterrors. 

Why does everyone refer to the trolls from Meenah's session as the "alpha" trolls? Since they played first, wouldn't the have had the beta copy and therefore be the "beta" session? Or are we just using the alpha/beta distinction based on order of introduction?

Order of introduction. 

Is there any facts about the Megido trolls?

Damara snapped after Meenah bullied her incessantly and pushed Rufioh and Horuss together, not after Rufioh broke up with her. 

Do you think that the kids had less doomed lines because Rose was a Seer of Light, and could see the most fortunate path?

It’s because they had less players. Less people means less mistakes to doom the timeline. 

When was it revealed that feferi made the dream bubbles?

Here

If we have seen that many characters breath even if they are in open space...why the young handmaid couldn't?

We’ve seen players breath in the Medium where the environment isn’t a vacuum. The Handmaid was in space, not the Medium. 

is there anything mentioning the body heat of trolls?

The body heat of trolls indicates their blood color. 

When eas the Handmaid is space, not breathing? Or did I misinterpret that post?

Here.

Is the pale quadrant specifically non-sexual?

Yes. Conciliatory means to pacify. 

(1) Actually I'm pretty sure the reason there are so few dead kids is 1. The alpha kids have no time player and 2. Dave was very careful about not creating doomed timelines whereas Aradia (and possibly Damara) actually made a point of creating as many doomed timelines as possible--so she could have her army of doomed Aradiabots.

The alpha kids’ session and the beta kids’ session were always meant to merge together. Dave is their Time player. The eight player session was foreshadowed here

favourite forgotten fact about karkat?

Karkat’s land being dominated by a sea of red blood to taunt him is a parallel to Dave’s land being full of metal and gears, things that he specifically doesn’t like

about the ask where you said the eight player session was foreshadowed, i guess i just dont see it? how does that page foreshadow the alpha kids at all?

Is it true that mind powers, like Vriska's or chucklevoodoos like Gamzee's, don't work on high bloods?

No. Aranea mind controlled Gamzee and he has the highest blood caste of land dwellers. 

What are all the canon troll signs we know of and what blood colors do they go with? Like, do we know of any other than the 12 main trolls, the two canon fantrolls and the trolls from Hiveswap?

There are some Jade blood symbols shown here

Wait Does kanaya have a crush on Vriska When Kanaya made a dress fur Vriska? Or was that friendship?

Yes, Kanaya had a flush crush on Vriska and that’s why she was upset when she saw Vriska and Tavros kissing. 

Is Dave albino?

His eyes are red. You can interpret him as albino if you’d like. 

Wait, if there's a certain size at which one could captchalogue something, then how did Vriska captchalogue the Earth, and John captchalogue the tumor? Was it just because of the wallet, or was it some god tier thing?

The wallet modus can captchalogue larger objects that other modi cannot.

The how did she (the condesce) controlled Jade and GCat? The signs of Vriska and Tavros appeared when she starts controlling them

Vriska and Tavros don’t have chucklevoodoos. The Condesce got those blood caste powers by experimenting on herself but she never used chucklevoodoos from what we’ve seen. 

Since Jade prototyped her sprite with her dreamself and Bec, when she went godtier her sprite, due to its dreamself part, was merged with her, causing her to go Dogteir. I know it's sort of a joke (God and dog having the same letters), but if a player prototyped their sprite with their dreamself and something more ordinary (like the mangled harlequin doll), would it have a similar effect? What about a dreamself and another human/troll?

From the information we have so far yes, it would have a similar effect I suppose. If you prototyped your sprite with your dreamself and another person and you then died on your slab\bed, then your dreamself would godtier as an amalgam of those two people. 

Wait who was fedorafreak

One of Dad Egbert’s friends on his Serious Business app. 

is Jane's dad technically an older John?

No, Dad Crocker is the son of post-scratch John aka Poppop. 

Can trolls of any blood color have animal communing abilities or is that strictly a bronze blood thing?

Bronze blood thing.

why are the maryams the only rainbowdrinkers? like,, is it only a jadeblood thing or?

Answered here.

Edit: I guess none of my links are working, sorry about that. 

Rainbow Drinkers are essentially the Alternian equivalent of Twilight vampires. They can withstand sunlight and radiate light. They can also run very fast. Kanaya and Porrim’s conversation in the Openbound flash games confirms that the condition is directly related to jade blood. Kanaya theorized that jade bloods developed the condition after being in the dark birthing caverns for so long while Rose theorized that they developed the abilities in order to scare away predators from wigglers.

Which of the HS characters have canon voices? I know John, Aradia, and Rufioh do, but are there others?

Answered here

EDIT: The link I included isn’t working for some reason so I’ll just copy my answer.

There are some songs that have voices in them that are meant to be interpreted as a certain character but these aren’t necessarily canon.

The carapacians have genitals and how they reproduce and what they eat and drink?

Carapcians are clones of the chess pieces shown here. They have no genitals as confirmed by Roxy. They eat human food as shown many times by WV. 

Wait whats this about game constructs not being allowed in the new universe?carapaces clearly are allowed in the new universe

Some of the fandom believes that the sprites weren’t seen in Act 7 because they’re game constructs and couldn’t enter the new universe. Hussie may have just decided not to include them in the animation. 

did we actually learn how calibob got his fancy eye bollocks

In Act 7 he gets his rainbow eyes after he destroys his clock. 

How did the cherubs get access to Sburb? Don't you need the glyphs from a frog temple?

Calliope had Gamzee’s computer which already had Sburb installed on it. 

Can we have a forgotten sadstuck fact?

best <3< ship?

was there ever an explanation to how jade had gamzees and sollux's trollian handles on her pester chum, or even knew there was 12 trolls?

image

How did Sollux half die?

image

wait, did sollux really have a crush on gamzee?? where does it say that?

During this flash Sollux has the spades and hearts symbol when thinking of Gamzee.

In response to the other anon, who is actually the best?

image

Ms Paint 10/10

ACTUALLY. ON THE TOPIC OF CALIBORN. HAVE YOU TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION THE FACT THAT HE IS NOT WORST? AND IN FACT HE BEST?

image

Which Homestuck character did nothing wrong?

image

Did we ever find out what troll titties are actually used for since they aren't needed for reproduction?

Arquius never got to explain so no.

Are the scars in mitunas face canon or fanon?

Fanon.

When could the handmaid not breathe? Were there other incidents of oxygenless outer space?

You mean besides in real life?

Normally a full sprite is prototyped with only two things, but is Erisolsprite technically prototyped with three thing?

No? He’s the product of Eridan and Sollux being prototyped together.

No I meant in the comic.

Most of the comic is spent in the Medium which is breathable so no.
