What does the A in mod a stand for, if t stands for ticktock?

Arquius

In what panel did Roxy actually make a whole matriorb?

Roxy has yet to make a complete matriorb but she came close.

So my friend told me that in order to have a proper session, you need to have a time and space player, but the alpha kids don't. Could you clear this up?

Their lack of Space and Time players is due to the fact that their session was always meant to merge with the Beta kid’s. Jade and Dave are their Space and Time players. 

Okay, I know that Arquiussprite is a mix of Equius and Dirk's shades. But why is his name ARquiussprite and not ... Shadeuiussprite or Equiadessprite? Where does the Ar come from?

AR was just Auto Responder’s initials. The artificial intelligence in Dirk’s shades was called Auto Responder before he decided to be called Lil Hal. 

hey d'you think kanaya and karkats special quest thing is them going to sacrificial slabs to god-tier?

They have no Sacrificial Slabs to die on. Their quest will most likely be retrieving the Genesis Frog from Echidna. 

Am I missing something or are Karkat and Terezi the only remaining completely mortal members of the group? Like, even if they win they will grow old and die while the rest lives on.

Kanaya, Terezi, Karkat, and possibly Gamzee are the only ones who aren’t godtiers. So yes, if they do not find some way to ascend they will eventually grow old and die. 

Whatever happened to Viceroy Bubbles Von Salamancer and his undead army?

The Viceroy and their army may still be on Lomax, Jake’s planet.

Is there any reason why Karkat hasn't gone godtier yet?

Both his Quest bed and Sacrificial Slab were destroyed by Bec Noir. 

What exactly is the vast glub, vast honk, and vast croak?

The Vast Glub was a psychic shock wave released by Feferi’s lusus that killed every troll in the troll’s universe except the Condesce and Feferi. The twelve trolls we know were able to escape it because they had already entered the Medium. The Vast Honk is the sound Lord English released once he had emerged from Doc Scratch’s body. The Vast Croak is the sound that the Genesis Frog will release when he finishes growing in the middle of Skaia.

why is robo jack going on his way to where all the trolls and kids are?

Once he escaped from Doc Scratch’s house he appeared in the Furthest Ring. He saw Skaia and said “It’s the fucking JACKPOT.” and then started flying towards it. His intentions are unknown.  

Sollux didn't escape the Vast Glub, Feferi had to revive one of his dream selves for him to be able to enter the medium.

Yes, Sollux didn’t escape it and he had to be revived by Feferi.

is there any correlation between time players having red eyes (dave, aradia, damara, cal) and time players having green eyes (jade, kanaya, porrim, callie)? has it been said in cannon that time players have red eyes and space players have green?

Time and Space go together and are represented by complementary colors thus the wielders of time all being red-themed and space being green.

How old are all the humans 4 rl? Haven't they only been in the game 3 years? Or are they aged with how long the comics been around? It seems like it shouldn't be that way because each panel isn't a day if it is

In the comic it is still 2012 and they are all 16 years old.

Do you think it would be possible for Roxy to create new sacrificial slabs for Karkat, Kanaya and Terezi to ascend? (Given enough time and practice)

Possibly, I don’t want to give a solid yes or no on this because I’m not sure

Didn't Sollux enter almost the instant after the vast glub? I remember that being a thing before Feferi revived him.

Yes, Karkat was beating himself up because if he had just gotten Sollux in a minute earlier he wouldn’t have died.

if kanaya is a rainbow drinker and those are essentially the equivalent of vampires, doesn't it hold that she probably has conditional immortality since she's undead

Maybe…

What are the importance of Frogs

The Universe is one

Hit me with a random lalonde fact

Eridan hit on Rose so she blew up his computer which made Eridan want to learn magic.

What is the most obvious question that anyone has ever asked you guys?

If we get a lot of obvious questions

So wait, after the Vast Glub killed Sollux, how did he come back into the game with them? I remember Fef kissed him

Fef kisses him and his Dersite self awoke and flew to his planet.

where are the 3 seperate jacks all coming from? like i know bec noir is from the beta kid's session, but what about the other 2?

Spades Slick is from the Trolls’ and Lord Jack is from the Alpha kids’

What exactly is The Medium? (Ps thank you for keeping this blog running, I now know so much more about the mspa universe)

The Medium is the area where players’ planets, Skaia, Derse and Prospit are located.  It serves as the main location for the game.  It is located far away from the player’s homeworlds.

Are you a double proto - typed kernel sprite? You know quite a lot about Homestuck.

That’s a first, no one’s asked if I was that before.  But no, if I was a sprite I’d have to give all my answers as vague clues or riddles.

So has Kurloz taking Vriska's coat on page 7966 had any effect on the story as of yet?

Nothing that’s been shown, but it’s likely that Vriska’s coat would later be used to make the Cairo Overcoat.

shouldnt vriska in this retconned timeline be a god tier?

She is.

You wouldn't have to, davesprite never gave his answer in riddles

Pssh, where’s the fun in that though?

is white jack(PM with the ring) still in post-retcon

Yes, she’s the Prospitan Vriska’s been referring to.

some people say it's a "plothole" that john could highfive the kernel sprite back in act 1. can't you only prototype something a second time AFTER you've entered the medium?

No, Rose prototyped twice before entry.  It’s more likely that only inanimate, dead, or doomed things can be prototyped.

Isn't sollux also not God-teir, so he too will die of old age eventually, or does this change because he is in the dream bubbles?

Yeah, he’ll die some day too 

Maybe you should act like a sprite for a few days. Riddles are pretty fun.

Ehhhhhhhh, last time I roleplayed on here I lost a couple hundred followers

Whatever happened to Andrew hussie in he comic

He dead

Do we actually know what the Genesis Frog Jade and Dave created is doing?

Jade dropped it into the Forge and it sunk to the planet’s core where Echidna got it and has been holding on to it until the player is ready to release the frog and let it grow

if so many of the trolls havent gone god-tier, how to people know what their classes and aspects are?

It’s been said in story

Was the Dolorosa a rainbow drinker?

Unknown

what's the deal with caliborn's session's jack?

Last time we saw him was when he was with Caliborn on his 8 ball planet.  He might become relevant again, but it’s unlikely.

Fuckin magnets, how do they work?

Did Jade's wardrobifier ever settle on one pattern before she went god tier?

Yeah, it broke and she was stuck with the bec head design.

Wouldn't Caliborn's Jack be the current robo-jack?

No, that’s Spades Slick, the trolls’ Jack

In regards to the Sprite-High-Five being a plot hole, people have pointed out that every visual instance of people touching sprites (said high five and GrubMom comforting Kanaya) has been the player and their respective sprite. It would make sense that players would be restricted from prototyping themselves in their own sprite, cause that would be a pretty easy mistake to make. All theory obviously, but fairly sound reasoning.

“It would make sense that players would be restricted from prototyping themselves in their own sprite”

Davesprite, Jadesprite, Aradiasprite

Why'd Doc Scratch make Spades Slick kill Snowman? Why didn't he just do it himself?

To quote Caliborn:

GETTING JACK TO DO VIOLENT THINGS FOR ME. ALWAYS STRIKES ME AS SUCH A GOOD PLAN. SO I MIGHT AS WELL JUST DO IT ALWAYS.

Was Kanaya wearing Eridans cape as a bandage?

Yeah, kinda, but also, y’know, the girl just looks killer in a sash.

Is killing Caliborn/LE still relevant in the story

That’s kinda everyone’s goal

If jades wardrobifier broke on the bec head then why is she most commonly represented with the atom thing?

Because that’s what it was when she was introduced

Why was Caliborn left out of Vriska's plan?

He’s not in the B2 session

i'm kind of confused, what happened after the claymation bit when the beta kids got sucked into the house juju? are we in the past in these upd8s?

Yes, the claymation was based on a future event, it hasn’t happened yet

Where is the fight between the condesce/jacks and the kids/trolls going to be located?

Space, maybe they’ll land placed. Condesce fight will be in Derse air space. I imagine it’s going to be mostly air fighting though.

Of everyone that’s fighting Terezi’s the only one that can’t fly but she does have her rocket wings.

Wait, what's the difference between the medium and the incipisphere?

The medium is in the incipishere. The incipishere is the dimension the game is played in. The medium is everything between Skaia and the furthest ring.

Arquiusprite said he was going to do a "gesture to shock everyone" and "come from out of the b100, make virtually no sense, stun all involved, and have a lasting, profoundly unintelligible impact an all future and pseudofuture events " do you believe he is talking about what he did in the claymation with all the horses?

It definitely looks that way

Maybe I missed it, but what is with the "Dead Daves are the Enemy" threat?

It was because ever Dave that died during time shenanigans created a doomed timeline

Wasn't the meteor crew the ones with the frog Jade made? Karkat once held it inside a 8 ball, if my memory isn't fooling me.

Jade had it in an 8-ball, not Karkat
