Does the vast glub even kill the fushia blood?

No, fushia bloods are safe since they have a psychic connection to Glybgl'b

~Mod T

Could you give me some information on Tinkerbull? Characteristics, relationship with Tavros, death, any details at all? It would be much appreciated!!

Here ya go

~Mod T

How many times are you going to accept the blood temperature fact?

7

~Mod T

Do you happen to know what a kidgrub(?) Would look like if, lets say rose and kanaya have a baby..?

~Mod T

can you explain the 7 gates? i dont get it at ALL

Basically, the players have to go through seven gates to reach Skaia where they can face the Black King who is supposed to be the final boss and then make their new universe.  Thus why there are seven gates between each planet and Skaia.

~Mod T

Do we know what a "normal" session is supposed to be like?

It’s supposed to be like Karkat’s session except they actually walk through the last door instead of it getting cut in half.

~Mod T

I dont understand the fourth wall?

The fourth wall is typically what separates the story from the reader. Homestuck breaks this wall and has the story interact with the reader.

~Mod T

the first gate takes you down to your planet, right? and the second to your servers planet? how do you reach your third gate after going to your servers planet

I’m not positive, but I assume you take the server’s second gate and keep taking second gates until you get back to your planet and then find the third gate.

~Mod T

What's through each gate? Don't they lead to the other players' planets or something like that?

Yeah, the gates take you to other planets or to different spots on your planet.  The first takes you lower to your planet. Second takes you to your server’s planet. I believe the sixth gate take you to the dwelling of your denizen. And the seventh takes you to Skaia. I’m not sure about the others.

~Mod T

(Not the same anon) I knew about the gates but why does jades only have five gates, then that thing??? Did I miss/forget something important?

No, Jade has seven. The blown up Prospit is just in the way so you can’t see the other two.

~Mod T

Is it ever explicitly stated that Dave's bro is rich?

~Mod T

Going off the other anon, what happens when someone passes through that door? What lies beyond it?

That door would lead to the universe they created for them to rein over as gods.

~Mod T

is jane actually fat/chubby or was Caliborn just trying to mess with her?

Well considering Caliborn is a skeleton monster, I think most people are chubby in comparison.  Jane’s probably average chubbiness, but keep whatever headcannon you like.

~Mod T

When you say 'leading them to the new universe' and 'to reign as gods' Do you mean that it just spits them out in the middle of space with omnipotent abilities? Or do they arrive on the planet the species is to originate on?

I’m not sure since it hasn’t happened.

I know that the door goes to the universe, where specifically, I dunno.

The players wouldn’t be omnipotent but there would be more than likely be at least one godtier amongst them who are p. much immortal and have advanced abilities.

Also in Karkat’s first pesterlog with John, he ranted about he was John’s god and etc.

~Mod T

Was it ever said where the dead Sollux used in Erisolsprite came from?

http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006257

~Mod T

if i remember correctly, the goal of the game is for the players to ascend to god tier and live on as omnipotent beings in the universe they create. whether or not they accomplish this is based on certain other factors, like the idea of killing yourself to gain power or how well everyone cooperates with one another when playing the game

Exactly

~Mod T

Uhm, actually, pertaining to the earlier ask about a normal session? It would be more like the dancestor's session. (which they only failed at because they were bad players.) Jack wouldn't be there, and if he was, he wouldn't actually be a part of the plot like he was in the post-scratch troll's session or in the Beta kid's session! :) Also, in Karkat's session, the created universe wouldn't have a Tumor.

what are the horrorterrors? i never quite understood

They’re big giant squid monster thingies that live in outerspace.  Lord English is there enemy. They can assist Derse players. But mostly, their role is to just be scary as shit.

Also Gl'bgolyb is a horrorterror albeit the smallest one.

~Mod T

Actually, I'm pretty sure they mention that Jack is ALWAYS in sessions, as an usurper, and that the Tumor is also always there, as a sort of emergency option

The Alpha kids don’t have a tumor since it’s located at the center of a fully prototyped Skaia.

~Mod T

They are also the LIKELY creators of the troll universe, aka the 48 squiddle (trickster!horrorterror) session, and/or Gods from failed sessions banned to the void to scream in madness. GOD I LOVE THE HT's.

Interesting..

~Mod T

What exactly is grimdarkness and how does it work?

http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/The_Noble_Circle_of_Horrorterrors#Grimdarkness

~Mod T

Yes, but the Alpha kids are also not a part of a "normal" session, and my statement was that a "normal" session would absolutely have a tumor, though I admit that I think the anon who I am trying to refute is a little confused. The TUMOR in the kid's session is a game element present in all games. Karkat talks about giving their universe cancer by fucking up, which is a metaphor for the sequence of events leading to Bec Noir's creation, I think.

Well with the horrorterrors, if Rose's book is to be believed they are the ruling class of the tentacle thingies in the furthest ring. The rest are just tentacle monsters.

~Mod T

Rose said that the Tumor could only exist in fully prototyped sessions where success is impossible without outside help, such as the B1 Session, or it could be a session-specific mutation, due to the Genesis Frog's tumor (p=004943)

I think I remember Dave saying that the Horrorterrors were screaming for help, or something like that. If it is like that, why? :? ( I think this was when he took off his glasses and spoke to rose, if it helps)

The horrorterrors are screaming for help because they are being massacred by Lord English. 

~Mod T

so who's the good guy, lord english or the horror terrors? Or are they both morally ambiguous?

Well LE is evil.

And the horrorterrors are a mystery.

We really have no idea what they’re up to so they can go either way at this point.

~Mod T

@HT/Squiddles theory: Don't forget it was one of Andrew's not-very-serious Formspring answers. Squiddles as creators of the troll universe? Who knows, maybe. Squiddles as a subconscious reimagining of the HTs? Canon. Squiddles becoming the HTs (meta-game constructs and "creators" of SBURB, mind you) after winning one session among others? Far-fetched... Maybe they just got along with the HTs well, if their session ever took place.

Does no one remember that squiddles are trickster horrorterrors?

~Mod T

I want a link to the Trickster Squiddle thing because apparently I missed that

http://www.mspaintadventures.com/trickster.php?s=6&p=007614

~Mod T

Horrorterrors were indeed shown to become Squiddles in one of the Trickster parts, but that part is very metaphorical and it might just be a reference at how the squiddles are a candy-coated reconceptualizing of the horrorterrors, not technically the same thing as them.

Who knows?

~Mod T

Also adding that the Horrorterrors themselves are "just" against the creation of new universes. That aside, they are dark, but not evil. LE (and by extension The Felt) on the other hand, has a much more sinister, completly destructive agenda and probably just wants to "destroy everything he wants for as long as he wants".

i may be misremembering, and it does make sense that they would be, but i don't recall that being canon.

~Mod T

Cherubs have white tongues /?s=6&p=007033

~Mod T

For cherub tongue anon: It probably has to do with the alignment. The benevolent side has a white tongue, and the malevolent side's is black. Like how their eyes and cheek swirls change.

Yep 

~Mod T

It could be that Sn8wman was The Black Queen of another session.

Sn8wman was the Black Queen in the trolls’ session.

~Mod T

Are all The Midnight Crew from the troll's session? ( same anon BTW)

Yes
