does jade actually have a tail?

I don’t think it’s been shown in canon but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

Hi! Sorry if this is a complicated question, but it's something that's always confused me- How did Bro (Dirk) make the beta kids? And how did they end up with their respective guardians?

John made the beta kids.  And their guardians found them when they landed on their meteors.

did we ever find out what jaspers' Big Secret was??????????? i cant remember for the life of me

The secret was MEOW. 

was it ever explained why trolls, being a non mammalian species, have breasts? i vaguely remember ARquiussprite about to go on a tangent before dirk stopped him. ARquius also said something about how trolls dont lactate.

It’s theorized that female trolls are more aggressive than male trolls and developed padding to help lessen damage in fights.

Does Jane's godtier have pockets?

What exactly was the purpose of the angels on eridans planet if they were game constructs, because they arent in either kid session.

They spoke to Eridan of a prophecy about “The Lord of the Angels”

Do we know everyone's fetch modus canonically? I know the beta kids have theirs mentioned, but do we even know anyone else's? If we do, what are they?

Karkat: Encryption Modus
Aradia: Ouiji Modus
Gamzee: Miracle Modus
Kanaya: Chastity Modus
Vriska: 8-Ball Modus 
Terezi: Scratch and Sniff Modus

Jane: Recipe Modus
Jake: Puzzle Modus
Roxy: Message in a Bottle Modus
Dirk: Tech-hop Modus
Dad Egbert: Wallet Modus

Calliope and Caliborn: Juju Modus

where does it talk about the trolls quest beds(cocoon or whatever) being gone/untraceable? I think I missed or forgot it in my read through

Bec Noir destroyed all the trolls’ planets as well as Prospit and Derse.  So there are no more questcocoons for them to die on and ascend.  It’s stated in Act 5 Act 2 on a couple of occasions I believe.

When was it confirmed that Equius was dead?

Well, Nepeta’s dead and in the same spot she was before all the retconning.  Therefore we can assume the same sequence of events that lead up to that still happened, such as Equ being killed

i saw the post about patron trolls, and that there are a few ways to determine them, but you never gave examples. i got mine from the one you add your birth month and date, say if you were born on 3/19 ( not my birthday ), you would add them together and get something, and two numbers would be under certain trolls and the number you got would be under a troll, and they were your patron troll. could you give other examples that arent the exact same results as this patron troll thing?? thank you

Another way is based on your star-sign.  For example if you are a Libra then your patron troll is Terezi.

I don’t really know any others specifically but feel free to add them.

on "[o] And while I can't give you my assurance," doc scratch says that "When the Hero of Breath dies for good, it won't be as a scoundrel." key word WHEN :O i felt like this was something important to tell you? maybe

It just means that when John dies for real it will be a Heroic death and not a Just one.

Were all the trolls' quest beds round?

All shown, yes

So this is probably a stupid question but how exactly did the trolls get on the meteor? I've forgotten completely which is kind of embarrassing but

Aradia brought them there to escape from Bec Noir.

are humans able to go into dream bubbles when they die or is it just a troll thing

Humans can go too.  The trolls just had waaay more doomed timelines so there’s more of them.

Can you please explain how Aradia went godtier?

Aradia’s dreamself had always been on her questcocoon in the center of Derse.  So when Bec Noir was destroying Derse he killed Aradia’s dreamself and since she was on her questcocoon she ascended to God Tier 

didn't eridan kill the angels in his land and complain they were too hard to karkat, and karkat responded with something like 'you're not supposed to fight them you dumbass'

Yes

I thought the reason female trolls had breasts was because they used to reproduce similarly to humans? Didn't Hussie touch upon this? Or am I just going crazy? I bet I'm going crazy.

If he did it didn’t happen in the comic

Could i get a source for the page where tinkerbull died?

Wait, what EXACTLY happened during Unite Synchronization?

Synchronize: Dirk leaves Sawtooth at his place to finish entering then flies to Roxy’s house with Squarewave.  He kisses Roxy so her dreamself wakes up. He teleports a bucket back in time.  Then he decapitates himself sending his head to an unconscious Jake, leaving Squarewave to bring Roxy’s house into the medium.

Between the two flashes Jake wakes up and talks to Lil’ Hal about kissing Dirk’s severed head which he ends up doing waking up Dirk’s dreamself.

Unite: Dirk and Roxy’s dreamselves are now awake on a flaming Derse with Jane’s dead body. Dirk kisses Jane so her dreamself wakes up. Jane then wakes up on Prospit and goes through a teleporter that takes her to the frog temple on Jake’s island.  Dirk and Roxy fly to the frog temple in the Medium and enter the lotus time capsule that sends them back in time where they exit on the frog temple on Jake’s island.  They grab Jane and fly to where the bucket that Dirk sent back in time and then go to where Jake is unconscious.  Dirk then takes the bucket dumps water on Jake so he wakes up and is able to kiss Dirk’s severed head allowing the whole flash to happen.  Then they all enter the medium from Jake’s house. 

Would you happen to know if a time frame is given for how long the Sgrub session lasted? I seem to remember reading that Karkat didn't sleep during their entire session, but going back, I can't find how long it was.

612 hours

So why do they have the slime and cocoons instead of beds?

They have cocoons because trolls are kind of an insect-based species.  And they have the slime to prevent them from having super terrible nightmares.

When doc scratch is telling the stories of the ancestors, he said the vast glub, which could kill all trolls in the galaxy, eventually happened. If this is so, how did any trolls survive?

The vast glub killed all trolls that did not have fuchsia blood. All the post-scratch trolls except Sollux survived because they were in the Medium, which is kind of a different universe.

Hey, was there a Prospitian version of Jack in any of the games? I don't recall there being one but I was curious.

No, All Jacks are from Derse.

Someone asked if all the troll quest beds were shown, I don't remember seeing Gamzee's, can I get a link to that?

Not all the questcocoons where shown, but all the ones that were seen were round.

can you provide a list of characters who never went godteir?

In the Alpha timeline that would be:

Tavros, Karkat, Sollux, Nepeta, Equius, Kanaya, Gamzee, Terezi, Feferi, and Eridan

But we have seen doomed Karkat, Eridan, Tavros, and Feferi be god tier.

Why did Dirk have to decapitate himself when he was already awake on Derse???

His Dreamself got knocked out and he needed it to wake up again immediately 

How exactly does the 'chastity modus' function?

You have to find a key in order to unlock a captalogued item.

What was that MASSIVE thing in jakes puzzle modus?

The remains of his house.

i forgot, which death means they die for real, heroic or just

Both.  If the death is neither heroic or just then they return to life.

Can you explain the retconning to me? I was confused when I read about it.

Retconning is changing what happened in canon after the fact.  John is going back and changing parts of the story. And unlike time travel he doesn’t have to worry about creating doomed timelines.

Is that one about cleaning up vriska's block equius instead of kanaya? Sorry, it just seems familiar.

No, Kanaya was Vriska’s server player and cleaned up Vriska’s hive.

can you explain how john is his dad's genetic half brother?

Dad is the son of Nanna and some Mystery Suitor.  John is the biological son of Nanna and Grandpa.  They share one parent, therefore they are half-brothers.

im trying to do the command where you can play as dave in [S]John: Enter village but its not working can you help me or tell me who submitted that to you?

You should be able to press CTRL+ALT+T or SHIFT+T

Something I've noticed- Both canon bards in homestuck have or are on a drug. Gamzee was on sopor and Cronus is always smoking.

Cronus doesn’t smoke.  He just carries around an unlit cigarette.  He said he thinks lighting them is a waste.

What kind of weapon does everyone use for strifes? (Applies only to beta kids, alpha kids, and the 12 descendant trolls)

John: Hammer
Rose: Needle/Wand
Dave: Sword/ Half Sword
Jade: Rifle

Jane: Fork/Spoon
Roxy: Rifle/Fist
Dirk: Sword
Jake: Double Pistol

Karkat: Sickle
Aradia: Whip
Tavros: Lance
Sollux: Shuriken/ Psionics
Nepeta: Claws
Kanaya: Chainsaw
Terezi: Cane
Vriska: Dice/Sword when she rolls all 8’s
Equius: Fist/Bow/ Half Bow
Gamzee: Clubs/Whatever he wants
Eridan: Rifle/Wand
Feferi: Double Sided Trident

I was wondering, or just possible completely forgotten. Where is Aradia in the events leading up to [S]Game Over and [S]Game Over itself? Does she just stay in the dream bubbles?

Yes, Aradia and Sollux stay in the dreambubbles.

Are the kids and trolls planets already made before the game started? Or are they made when they enter the medium?

They are already made as seen on the Alpha kids’ planets where all the consorts had been dead of many years.

in a recent jade-featuring update, Jade mentioned the age of the lands! They simultaneously don't exist until they start the game and enter it, and yet they also are ancient and ever-existing. (p=008980)

You’re the only one to add a source, you win.

Why did Meenah and Aranea perma-die when Meenah blew up the alpha trolls?

They were killed as the Scratch was initiating so they didn’t have time to some back to life.

hey do you know how long the alpha kids were in SBURB?? was it only a year?

They entered On November 11th and the Beta kids arrived on the next April the 13th so they’ve been there about half a year.

Also in [s] Act 6 Act 4, Jack was counting the days on the wall in his cell and if you count them it’s 21 weeks and 6 days.  Which will take you from November 11th to April the 13th.  

Coincidentally, I just realized that 21 weeks and 6 days backwards is 612. Damn Hussie, you planned that really well.

I have a question: why does't John have an adult version? Like Mom, Bro, Poppop, etc. Jane's dad isn't John so yeah ._.

Poppop is adult John.

since it seems the leader of a session would be the one to create the other players through ectobiology (john for his session (and also the alpha session) and karkat for his session) would this mean that Meenah created those in her session?

No, Karkat created them.

What's the significance of the number 612?

It’s the arc number for Hivebent.  Like how 413 is the number for the Beta kids.

wait sorry i'm really dumb and this concept has confused me, how is it that only john and karkat have to do ectobiology? how did the baby meteors exist in the other universes without john/karkat's creating them? is it just skaia's portals, carrying the babies to a different game session from the original one?

When a scratch is initiated Skaia changes the portals that the babies go through so the babies only need to be created once.

I think Bro could have been saved. Why: Dave and Bro both had a copy of SBURB, but Dave ruined his and used Bro's copy (the one he got after their strife). So if Dave didn't spill aj on his copy, do you think Bro would have played and still be alive? (I told a friend this but she said,"Nah, Bro just would have done whatever the hell he wanted.")

Dave needed to lose his copy so that DD could steal it and eventually put it in the lotus time capsule which would send it back in time so that Jade could get the disks and play the game. So if Bro could have been saved, that’s not the way it would have happened.

Wait, I'm a bit confused in the "Attempt rare and highly dangerous 5x SHOWDOWN COMBO." Is Sollux deciding between having blackrom-redrom feelings for Gamzee, or is he determining if Cal's in blackrom with him or Redrom?

Sollux had a quadrant vacillation crush on Gamzee. It fits with his duality theme.

What happened with Jade's problem with falling asleep at random times? Did that disappear when she lost her dream self, or..? Ive been wondering about that a lot...

Jade’s narcolepsy was caused by Vriska testing her powers on humans.  While Vriska can control trolls she can only make humans fall asleep. 

what are the dancestors titles and which ones have been seen with god tier?

Kankri: Seer of Blood
Damara: Witch of Time
Rufioh: Rogue of Breath
Mituna: Heir of Doom
Meulin: Mage of Heart
Porrim: Maid of Space
Latula: Knight of Mind
Aranea: Sylph of Light
Horuss: Page of Void
Kurloz: Prince of Rage
Cronus: Bard of Hope
Meenah: Theif of Life

And they’ve all been seen god tier in mini-strife

i understand how in the kid's sessions, the kids only had to be created once, in the pre-scratch session, so they didn't have to be created again in the kid's post-scratch session; but I'm confused as to why karkat had to create the trolls; sence his was the post-scratch session, wouldn't they have been created in the pre-scratch session?

The lack of ectobiology in the pre-scratch troll session was one of the reasons that their session was doomed to fail.

Wait how did Sollux die??

He was killed once by the Vast Glub once and again by overexerting himself moving the meteor to the Green Sun.
