April 2015

also the fantrolls are reapearring in the game apparently but idk if this has been said

It was said in a recent backers update I believe.

I sent in a forgotten fact with proof/scource but it was never posted? I sent it in over a month ago.

I’m sorry.  Either it was one we already had, something I didn’t think qualified as forgotten or it just got buried. I have nearly seven hundred messages in my inbox right now so if it’s buried I’ll find it eventually.

I think I remember reading the pre-scratch trolls mentioning being stuck in their session for three sweeps. So, a little over 6-ish years, right?

That would be exactly six and a half years.

Wait the beta kids lasted a day how does that work

Their session was 24 hours long? Like, that’s it. It was about three days for Dave since he was timetraveling all over the place but for everyone else, a day.

Where in the story was the Lime-blood purge mentioned? Link?

Calliope mentions it when talking to Jane

So then Dave is 3 days older than he should be in that timeline??

Kinda, yeah.

Because of time shenanigans, did Davesprite actually date Jade in the other timlines?

You mean in the retconned timeline where he got exploded?  Maybe, I’m not sure at what point in time that started dating.  John and Davesprite died pretty early on in the trip since Jade said she’d spent three years alone.  So, maybe.

Not a fact but can you tell me How Jane got on prospit?

She’s a Prospit dreamer.

I made a terrible mistake and didn't pay attention when Jade and Jane explained the new time line... Mind summing it up for me?

Vriska put Jade to sleep so she couldn’t scatter everyone. Then the group invaded Derse to save Jake and Roxy but Roxy died saving Rose from Jane’s pitchyfork then Vriska put Jane to sleep.

is it just Kurloz with the chucklevoodoo or does Gamzee and GHB have it too?

All the Makara’s have it.

Minor correction, Dave'd be two days older. Because I believe he spent 3 days in total, not on top of the one day in real time?

Right, math

So, did Gamzee make Lil' Cal? Or was that Lord English?

Gamzee made Cal, yes.

Since the wearer of the queens ring assumes attributes from the things first prototyped into the players kernelsprites in the session, shouldn't Jack/Bec Noir gained cat-like features instead of tentacle abilities from roses prototyping?

Rose prototyped her sprite twice before entry so the kernel had aspects of both.  So the ring bearer would have aspects of both, but the cat attributes where probably left out of Jack’s Pre-Bec design by Hussie as not to conflict with Bec’s soon to be added dog attributes.

Since the new timelines Jane killed Roxy will the Alpha timeline(or our Roxy whatever we call her) take her place?

Yes.

Wait how did the Beta kid session only last a day if they haven't won it and gone through the door yet? Same for Karkat's session? And I would imagine that the reason Meenah's ended was because she killed them all...

The Beta kid’s scratched their session, effectively ending it.

Karkat’s universe was destroyed effectively ending his session.

Meenah’s ended cause they scratched as well.

Why did the beta kids have to scratch, was it because of jack?

Their Reckoning started too early, they didn’t have enough time to finish.

How did Snowman gain the "ability" to destroy the beta troll universe upon death? I can only assume it has something to do with being a Felt member, but was it ever explicitly stated at any point?

Doc Scratch gave it to her.  Darn that omnipotent puppet man, darn him to heck.

How many acts in total are there (including all the sub ones and intermissions)? I cant find your answer

35

How is lil cal evil? I've heard it said around that he is a bad guy but I don't remember anything from the comic about it

He holds a piece of Caliborn’s soul.

Is Davesprite dead-dead? Like he exploded so did John save him or is he in a bubble or what

Well find out at some point, probably.

Wait how did Gamzee make Lil Cal?? I think I lost some very important information here...

Chuckle Voodoo, spooky stuff.

so jane and jade in calliope's time bubble are asleep but still alive in this new timeline? how do we know that?

Yes, Jane told us.

i which panel do we get to know lil cal holds a piece of caliborn's soul then?

Here 

so are all of the kids 16 now?

Yes.

To clarify, Sn0wman's heart is the entirety of the beta troll universe.

Yes

fact: six and a half is equal to 6 + 1/2, theres the 612

How does the Condesce have psionics?

She’s really old and had a lot of time to experiment

the only cat attributes he had were small Jaspers-like protrusions off the side of his face

I love how you're getting this final influx of asks a few days before the upd8. Its reminiscent of highschoolers' last minute cramming the day before a test.

Actually it’s more likely because I’m online longer than I usually am today so I’m answering more asks, and I always get the most asks when I’m answering them.

did you just call m-E old

Considering how many centuries you’ve lived your Imperious Condescension, compared to the lifespan of an average troll or human, yes, you’re old,

Why did Rose go off and do her own thing

Specify when.

a)(a but do-Esnt t)(at also mak-E m-E v-Ery wis-E and very hot you know foxy grandma styl-E

Here’s your hat with convenient flaps so your horns will fit.

Is Doc Scratch Caliborn or an evolved Lil Cal?

Doc Scratch is Lil Cal’s ectobiological son. He also inherited a piece of Caliborn’s soul from Cal which is why Lord English was able to appear through him after he died.

Can you remind me why lusii are on jakes island?

The Condesce put them there so they’d be available if she ever succeeded in bring the troll race back into existence.

I always assumed that Gamzee hadn't created Cal. I thought he found the Cal that Kanaya had fixed in the memory on page 5498 and sent it over to the kids session through Chuckle Voodoo. Cal is still wearing the Felt outfit when Gamzee does the Chuckle Voodoo.

He didn’t send it over with chuckevoodoo, he created it.  The Cal in the felt outfit is still with him when he’s in the Alpha kids’ session

I'm pretty sure the Condesce's powers come from her tiara because every time she uses any troll's powers it flashes their sign.

Every time any troll uses their psychic powers their symbol appears on their forehead, the tiara is unrelated.

How was Jack English created? Like, what happened to cause Jack English?

B2 Jack was in jail.  Gamzee sent him Lil Cal and a knife.  Jack looked into Cal’s eyes which caused him to stab out his own eyes and replace them with Cal’s.

how to potato?

six count at about around do the corner turn flip floopity on the floor hands everywhere. 

So did s game over actually happen or was it a doomed timeline?

It was pretty much a doomed timeline.

To make it clearer to other Anon: Dream Cal was created by Gamzee based on Dave's nightmares of Bro's Cal. This Cal then ended up on the meteor that Baby Dave/Dirk (I can't recall which) was on and made its way to the Alpha and Beta sessions to be itself (through Time Shenanigans)

It was with Dirk.

What happened to the beta kids after the scratch?

Dave and Rose traveled through the Furthest Ring with the trolls.

John and Jade went through the Fourth Wall and crossed the Yellow Yard.

How did the wallet end up on Cal when he got meteored to Alternia?

John gave it to WV.  Courtyard Droll then stole it from him and gave it to Bec Noir.  Bec Noir put it in Lil’ Cal.  After he entered the trolls’ universe he threw Lil’ Cal into an Aradiabot which then traveled back in time threw a Skaian portal and exploded.  Aradia then found it and that’s the last we’ve heard of the wallet. 

What happened to Bro's body? Was there a burial I missed mention of? They didn't leave it impaled on the sword.

John mentioned that Jade “buried” him.

Wait, doesn't 612 refer to the 12 trolls being 6 sweeps, like how 4 beta kids were 13?

Yes.

Is there a requirement for how many times you can prototype a sprite?

The requirement would be at least once before entering for a successful session.

As for a limit, there hasn’t been once mentioned and no one’s tried to prototype more than twice.

what exactly is chucklevoodoo¿

It’s a psychic power wielded by Purple bloods to keep lowbloods in check.

What exactly it is is unknown.  Gamzee and Kurloz have been seen using different types of chuckle voodoo so what specifically the power does might be different for every user.

how do... NINE POTATO???? /intense intenses intensely

If a doomed timeline is a built in construct, wouldn't it mean something like that had happened preceding any of the mentioned timelines?

Probably

how did aradia become god tier if she was a ghost/robot?

Faq

I thought the numbers 413 and 612 were the dates that each respective story started. Homestuck of 4/13 and Hivebent on 6/12. That's why when Cascade happened (The "merging" of sessions) it happened on 413+613= 10/25

Yes but it goes so much deeper than that.
