Every session has a first Guardians (alpha trolls had doc scratch, beta kids has Bec, alpha kids had gcat) So what were the Beta trolls and Calliborn's?

Doc Scratch was the beta trolls’ first guardian, not the alpha trolls.  It hasn’t been stated in canon what/who the Cali’s or the alpha trolls’ first guardian is/was.

John gave Roxy the ring of life so when Jane killed Roxy she lived, Jane just fell asleep before she could see it happen

John gave the ring to original Roxy who he is currently with.  Jane killed retconned Roxy so now there’s an vacancy of Roxy’s in the retconned timeline that original Roxy will come and fill. 

In the beta verse the flower in the frog temple holds things for years like a time capsule, But when Dirk and Roxy went into it in the alpha verse they went back in time

No they didn’t.  They entered the Frog Temple in the furthest ring.  The Temple was eventually sent thousands of years into Earth’s past via Skaia’s portals. So it’s actually linear.  

How did Dave's Bro know so much about Sburb beforehand? How did he know to try and initiate the Scratch?

He probably had something to do with Skaianet like Rose’s Mom and Grandpa Harley.

What was the story Jade was telling Calliope where John and Davesprite died? Was it a memory of a doomed timeline?

It was a memory.  The story was the John and Davesprite where doing whatever on LOWAS and it suddenly exploded and she spent the next three years alone for the most part.

So if th beta trolls couldnt do ecto biology, and karkat never made them, then how did they become the ancestors? in the beta troll verse Feferi was the Queen so there was definetly the alpha-beta player swap like the kids, but how did it work? Did it have to do with meenah's bomb?

Karkat made all the pre-scratch and the post-scratch trolls.

What are the names of the two cannon fantrolls?

Mierfa Durgas and Nektan Whelan

thank you for running this blog :>

And thank you for following it.

I'm on mobile tumblr and What what is that banner doing there

I realized the other day that this blog didn’t have a banner so a made one.

Exactly what is the timeline from the perspective of the Warhammer of Zillihoo? We've seen it alchemized, Gamzee had it, Jake had it, the bunny had it and gave it to John. Just how did it get around?

It was created by the tricksters which was the beginning of it’s timeline but also the most recent we’ve seen it so there’s a bit of a gap. An unknown amount of time later but also before, Jake got it out of the Lotus Time Capsule so John might have put it there when the temple was still in the median before it got sent to Earth.  Jake gave it to the bunny who was sent back to the beta session and eventually gave it to John.  

As for how Gamzee got it ??? maybe a different one??? time shenanigans?? 

Why didn't jack turn into part dave and part dave or on the black kings case part aradia?

Ring bearers are only affected by prototypings done pre-entry before the kernels are sent to Derse and Prospit.  That’s why they don’t have traits from nanna, dave, jade, or aradia.

How did the alpha kids get to meet each other in person despite how they were in different time periods?

Sburb works on a separate time stream than Earth.

what happened with the whole revenge cycle again? i can only remember why terezi was blinded, but not why vriska was injured etc

This is in the FAQ

THIS IS RLY IMPORTANT,DID DIRK EVER INTERACT PHYSICALLY WITH ANYONE BEFORE ENTERING THE GAME?

No one but his best bro Lil’ Cal.

Is Rosemary cannon?

jane´s dad died after she gets possesed?

Nope, he’s still alive and very confused in a stern fatherly fashion.

fedora freak entered the game, right? and it seems that he died on a quest bed, so why didn't he go god tier

Yep, he ascended into the Gent of Piss

Which sprites are still alive?

Nannasprite, Jaspersprite, ARquiusprite, Erisolsprite, and maybe Davesprite.  We aren’t sure about Davesprite.  He died in the retconned timeline but he might be on the original LoWaS somewhere hitching a ride to the new timeline

can you send me the link of where rosemary went cannon? please?

Merry Christmas

Was the Lime-blood purge something the fandom just made up or was there allusion to it in canon?

It’s canon

A few asks ago, you mentioned something about Skaianet. What is it, exactly?

It’s the company that produced Sburb in the Beta-verse and belonged to Grandpa Harley.

In the Alpha-verse it’s a company belonging to Grandma English and makes several products to compete against Crockercorp.

The next update is one april 13th (i think), which is also 413, a reoccuring number in the webcomic. Do we know the significance of the number/is there a reason for the number?

It’s the day Homestuck started (4/13/09). 

 It’s also John, Jane, and Bec’s birthday.

At which point exactly did Hussie stop taking suggestions and shut down the suggestion box? I was never quite sure about that.

It was during or after Act 4. 

After Act 4 you’ll notice that there’s far less random shenanigans happening. 

Hey, quick question (i'm stuck on mobile and so i can't see your faqs i'm so sorry if this is there): what's the difference between Spades Slick and Jack Noir? Are they the same person from different universes?

Jack Noir is the Dersite Archagent that appears in every session.

Spades Slick is the Jack Noir from the Post-scratch trolls’ session.

Shouldn't all the kids have the same birthdays if they were created in one day through ectobiology?

Yes but they were sent back to different days on the meteors as infants so technically they aren’t all the same age.

When were the Dancestors introduced?

In Three Seperate Flashes

What happened to grubs that failed the trials?

Ever heard of Grub Sauce?

On what planet did the Midnight Crew and the Felt live on?

Alternia’s Green Moon.

How did Aradia get Rose and Dave to the trolls?

She did not. The trolls came to Rose and Dave.

Cherubs have sex by turning into giant serpents, right? So, does that mean the symbol with the two snakes wound around a staff on Calliope's shirt is porn?

Oh my god.

I noticed earlier that you mentioned that Gamzee had been shown with the time-travel things that the Megidos usually owned. Do you think it's possible that they were originally Damara's? Seeming as she was a supporter of Lord English? I could be completely wrong but yeah.

It’s more likely that he got them from a Damara than Aradia.

could you explain bec noir/jack noir ??? i don't understand the difference or if one of them is the white one (thought the white one was PM though its all so confusing)

Jack Noir is a session constant.  He was in the trolls’ session, the cherubs’ session and the kids’ sessions.  As such each one kinda has their own nickname.

The trolls’ Jack became Spades Slick after forming the Midnight Crew

The Beta Jack became Bec Noir due to him being part Bec.

The Alpha Jack became Jack English since he has billiard ball eyes like Lord English.

The cherub Jack is just Jack Noir, he hasn’t changed at all he’s still your standard Jack.

I'm on act 4, there is something I need to know?

how did Aradia not nave a dream self when she clearly had onee? Why was it on her quest bed?

No one knew she had one since it was in Derse’s moon’s core.

i'm on the start of act 5 and I'm wondering if johndave is canon? And what ship is canon? Sorry for the bad english, it's not mt first language :-) thank you !!

Johndave is not canon.  At your point of the story the only canon ship is equ<>nep, eri<>fef, and kan<>vris

WHAT IS GRUB SAUCE AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR

It’s a sauce, made of grubs, and it’s used for various things.

Okayokay I have more than one question: 1) Has anything about whether or not Jade's genitals were affected by her going all doggy tier been confirmed? 2) If Lord English can kill ghosts, can Caliborn? 3) What would have ARsprite looked like if Gamzee hadn't put in Equius's corpse? 4) I've seen several sources say Aranea/Porrim was a thing one point in time, but throughout every part of the alpha trolls appearances I haven't seen any evidence. 5) Is John/Roxy canon? 6) When'd Tavros leave Vriska?

1) No nothing’s been stated
2) No, he’s not powerful enough yet.
3) Probably like Dirk
4) It was a thing in the past confirmed in whatever flash Porrim’s introduced in
5) Almost
6) Here

If the human kids are clones, that means they dont have bellybuttons?

Maybe

can I have a timeline of lil cal

Here you go

Actually Aradia's dreamself + quest cocoon were in Derse's center, not the moon center. They weren't moved to the moon since she was dead on arrival

No she was in the moon’s cores, that’s where the Sacrificial Slabs are located.

Mindfang is Left-handed. In her journal page just before Seer: Ascend, she mentions having to get used to writing with her other hand. In Seer: Ascend (and in following pages), we see it was her left arm which Redglare severed.

All seen trolls are left handed except Karkat

Do we know any of the weapons used by the pre-scratch trolls?

Meenah uses the 2x3dentkind obviously

Cronus had Ahab’s Crosshairs, where he used it or not is up in the air.

what happened to the handmaid after she recruited the condesce to lord englishs team? was it ever proven in canon that she died or just implied?

The Condesce killed her and was forced to take her place serving Lord English.

what is the tumor?

It’s a bomb, a very big bomb.

Look at wake again. the moon is totally destroyed, the camera zooms into derse prime, and Aradia appears.

You’re right.  Normally the slabs are in the moons but Aradia was a special case since she died before the game started.

What's up with the sprites not having noses as well as arms? I mean a nose is not that hard to draw. Is that some other inside joke of Hussie's?

How many acts are there in total?

Too goddamn many.

Counting all the Intermissions and Sub-acts, there’s 35.

no one at school knows of the grail that is Homestuck I feel alone comfort me you lil' blog of god knows what the devil gloriously made don't make me link you to a smuppet rump website

You act as if a visit to the smuppet rump website would be a bad thing.

People keep telling me Gamzee doesn't have time powers (even though I'm at the current hiatus and they're only on like act 5...) Can you send me a link to the fact that I saw you post? I mean... He rose Calliope and Caliborn, right?? (Bad English)

Here’s Aradia with her time traveling music boxes

Gamzee can be seen with the same or very similar ones at the end of [S] Jane: Proceed.

I pretty much skipped the entire felt mob/midnight crew section because I found it really uninteresting but it turns out its actually super important for a lot of things. I tried to actually read it but its still incredibly boring to me, what are the most important things I missed out on knowing?

It mentions Lord English, It introduces Spades Slick and Snowman who both end up being pretty important, it explains what all the felts’ abilities are I’m not going to explain them here for the sake of convenience but you can read about them on the felt wiki page, and it gives us a taste of time-shenanigans which will become so widespread and confusing later on.
