So say John wanted to get to Dave's world, he'd have to use his client portal to get to Jade's world and find a client portal on her world? Would he be using one of Jade's green portals because it's her client player, or would it be a blue portal somewhere on Jade's planet?

He could do that or he could just go through his 4th gate.  And I’m not sure about the color of the portal but it’s most likely that all the portals on a planet are the same color.

Could sn0wman possibly go trickster?? Like is it possible? Cuz i rly wanna draw a trickster sn0wman lmao

There’s nothing saying Carapacians can’t go trickster.

Vriska cannot mind control those with strong minds, right? She can only control those with weak minds?

Pretty much, the more impressionable and insecure someone is the easier she can control them.

can i just say thank you for running this blog? like you make things so much easier to understand. So thank you for making this blog

You’re welcome, and thanks for the support!

But here’s a Forgotten fhsf Fact for you:  I didn’t create this blog!  There were originally three admins  F, L, and A.  Almost two years ago they got tired of this blog and handed it over to me and two other peeps.  Those two other peeps didn’t last long though and were only active for like a month.  And that’s how I became the sole owner and mod of this blog!

How did Terezi go blind?

 Vriska mind controled Tavros, making him use his psychic powers to control Terezi’s unhatched lusus into telling Terezi to go outside and look into the Alternian sun which then blinded her.

Are the rings of void and life jujus?

They might be, we aren’t sure yet.

Who are the people with weak minds who Vriska can control?

Tavros for sure, Sollux, Carapacians, Hussie, and others I assume but those are the only ones shown in canon.

Was the Subjugglator killed? I know the vast glub kills all landdwelling trolls, but isn't the dark purple blood semi-acquatic?

He died before hivebent started, we don’t know how he died though.

I've never really understood how did Aradia get god tier

check the FAQ.  I recently updated it with a handful of questions, this being one of them.

Hey there! Can I ask if it has ever been explicitly stated or implied that Kanaya is a lesbian?

All trolls are a kind of bi- or pansexual as they lack the concepts of homosexuality and heterosexuality, but since all of Kanaya’s romantic interests have been girls isn’t a popular headcannon that she’s a lesbian.

is there a reason that jade's and rose's kernel sprites hatched before entering the medium as opposed to john's and dave's which hatched upon entering the medium?

Rose’s hatched because it had both prototypings done and Jade’s was a special prototyping so it also was allowed to hatch early.

Where is the FAQ?

If you’re on a desktop go to the blog and in the top left corner click on the block that says “navigation” and a drop down menu will open from which you can find the FAQ in.


If you’re on mobile, go to the blog and click on the three little lines in the top left corner and click on FAQ, you can’t get to the FAQ through the app though so go through a browser

What's Homestuck?

Was Aranea's plan to rule multiple universes?

No, her plan was to change the timeline so that Lord English was never created, which would also doom the timeline, and she thought she would be able to heal it into the alpha timeline since.

and what do they mean by the term "rule 63" in homestuck?

Rule 63 is internet slang for “gender bending”, i.e. drawing a character as if they presented as a different gender.

how did karkat get his lusus if his blood is mutated?

The Sufferer’s followers secretly breed a special lusus for centuries so that his descendent would have a lusus.

Assuming that a session is perfect, what would its timeline of events be?

>Everyone enters
>They do their planet quests (optional)
>Hephaestus lights the forge
>The frogs are breed
>Players fight the Black King
>Players release their Genesis Frog so it can grow
>Players claim their prize. 

how did carapacians get to earth in universe B? i know the condesce brought them but where did she get them

Probably Derse since she took over the thrown there. 

Are you sure that Hephaestus lighting the forge is a necessary part of every session? I thought that in the particular case of the beta kids' session thay needed it to melt the snow on LOFAF, but space players' lands aren't always frozen, are they?

Hephaestus doesn’t light it, my mistake, the Space player does.  But it always needs to be lite.  It melted the snow in Jade’s land and dried up the water in Kanaya’s.

What was the glitch that made the pre-scratch trolls unable to win their session?

They couldn’t do ecto-biology.

Do you read Paradox space? The current comic makes no sense, trolls would die in the sun wouldn't they?

On the third page of the comic Karkat says the comic is a work of AU fiction that he wrote

How would Dave's death in the gigaupdate be considered heroic?

He died trying to save Jade.  He chased Bec Noir and PM because Jane said she could bring Jade back to life. And since he died trying to save someone, it was considered heroic.

When the beta and alpha kids die in doomed timelines, they go to the dream bubbles where the trolls are right?

Yes

As someone who looked into quite a few things and making up my own theories, i came across a question you answered about god tiers. We know that our interpretation of Heroic/Just deaths are really up to us to decide, but what do they do? When a GT player dies in one of the deaths are they revived or do they stay dead? or do they get revived when their death isn't either of the causes? Recalling from John's fight with Jack i thought they revive from a Just/Heroic Death?

No a heroic or just death means they stay dead.  They come back if their death wasn’t heroic or just.

Sooo, if lusii pick trolls when they are still grubs, how was Terezi even picked? Did an egg just pick her or what?

The dragon could communicate with Terezi through telepathy.

Did Aradia help Kanaya in frog breeding?

I don’t believe so, from my understanding it was only Kanaya and Karkat and took forever.

People seem to always draw the trolls with long pointy ears, where in canon has that actually been shown?

It hasn’t, it’s just one of the popular headcanons

I have a question, if Dirk and Roxy grew up in the future. And Jake and Jane in the past. How are all Dave Jade John and Rose in the present together? (Sorry if it's infront of my face XD)

The Alpha kids’ and Beta kids’ timelines are completely separate until they meet up.    Dirk and Roxy are not Bro and Mom.  Here’s a crude rendition of the their timelines to try and help.

I've got a question that's been bugging me for a while. How did Karkat survive as a grub? I thought that lusii would kill a grub that had mutant blood? I know the only reason that The Sufferer survived was because The Dolorosa took him.

The Sufferer’s followers breed a special lusus that would choose the Sufferer’s descendant rather than kill him.

How did Jake God Tier if his dreamself died?

He died on the special “in the middle of your dream moon” bed which can work with either.

the first time aridia was killed (by sollux) why didn't she go god tier?

She didn’t die on her questcocoon

whats the prize for winning sburb?

A new universe

Is Gamzee responsible partly for the creation of Bec Noir and the slaughter of all the dream selves? He did haunt Johns dream and put Harlequins in em and John drew em out and his Dad thought he like them so he bought the one John prototyped. sooooo

Yes.  If Gamzee didn’t chucklevoodoo John then he wouldn’t have draw harlequins on his wall and is dad wouldn’t have thought he liked them and bought him the harlequin doll and if the harlequin doll wasn’t bought it wouldn’t have been prototyped and if it wasn’t prototyped the Black Queen wouldn’t have made Jack wear the clown hate and Jack wouldn’t have killed her and obtained the ring.

can a life player bring someone back to life if their death was heroic or just?

Yes, probably, Jane said she could but it hasn’t been shown so, maybe.

So another anon mentioned trolls die from being in the sun? Since when has that been true?

They don’t died, they are just sensitive to the Alternia sun since it is so big and close.  Basically the super sun would sting and they’d probably super sunburn.  But they’d be find on Earth since its sun is much smaller and not as hot.

if a player dies they can be revived with a kiss, but can you do that on a GT player that died a heroic or a just death? or is there no way out and do they just stay dead with no chance of being revived?

They aren’t revived with a kiss.  Kissing a dead player wakes up their dreamself.

Why did Aradia become a ghost on Alternia when she was killed?

Because she still needed to play the game.

Why did the troll's sprites only need to be prototyped once while all the other sprites need two things? (With the exception of Aradia and the frog thing)

A sprite only needs to be prototyped once.  Secondary prototyping is optional.

Wasn't HIC in a relationship with Colonel Sassacre?

Yep, they were married.

When did Jack and the Mail-lady stop trying to kill each other again?

When Jade was in trouble and their Bec instincts took over.

how did feferi revive sollux? didnt he die before he entered? if so, how did feferi get to his hive to revive him?

Sollux dies right as he was entering so Feferi was able to reach his planet through her second gate.

So is Lord English adult Caliborn? It seems like he would be but I saw something about it not being confirmed. Also what happened with the one Jack who turned Englishy? Gold pegleg, weird eyes and such.

Yes Caliborn is most likely LE, like 99% confirmed. There’s always the chance that Hussie will throw us curveball and someone else will turn out to be Lord English, but it’s unlikely.  And Jack English is still around, he’s just by Prospit and the narrative has been focused more on Derse lately so we haven’t seen him in a while.

How did the condesce get her psiioniics (or at least eyebeams) shown in [S] Game Over? Was it from her contact with the Helmsman or what?

FAQ

is there any proof of someone having actually won the game?because isnt this game still going?

The Post-scratch trolls won the game, they just didn’t get their prize.

Eveb though most trolls haven't god tier cab the still use some over their powers, lime terezi can?

All players have powers related to their classpects and can use them with out being God Tier (like Terezi or Dave pre-godtier when he was time traveling) going God Tier just enhances and increases the amount of abilities 

Dave rose and the trolls went to the outer ring- isn't that where the horror terrors and dream bubbles are?

Yes, they passed through dreambubbles frequently but there weren’t that many horrorterrors because Lord English was killing them.

Had Gamzee found a matesprit before he looked into the eyes of Lil' Cal, do you think it would be possible for him to have not gone on a murderous rampage?

I think he would have went on the rampage regadless

Jack English was actually teleported to the furthest ring like dirk

Right, I forgot about that.  So he’s on his way back.  He’ll probably show up at the same time as Spades Slick

So im super bad at remembering what exactly the rules are in cannon - since they constantly change ( thanks hussie ) and wanted to know if it was possible for there to be more classes/aspects. Also i love this blog 10/10 would ask again.

There can be other classes and aspects.  How else would the 48 squiddles session have been able to happen.

Forgive me for asking but didn't the Condesce get her powers from experimentation on Earth (most notably Alpha Earth as what Dirk said in p=006758 "TT: There are other urban legends that she did a lot of experiments on animals and people. Mostly to do with mind control. TT: Like figuring out ways to unlock all of her psychic alien potential, to increase her power. TT: Not sure if that's true, or if it was actually successful though." )
