difficult question: was shown in the canon what each class does? If not all, what?And what do they do? (if you want to link instead of writing in the post, fine by me)
Calliope explains the abilities of Princes and Bards here and discusses Rogues and Thieves abilities here. The other classes are left to speculation but some fans have come up with a pretty cool mass Classpect post. A class determines how the player will use their aspect so each combination of class and aspect can have a wide range of powers.
Aren't Meenah and the others 9 sweeps old, or are they the same age as the beta trolls now?
Meenah and the other alpha trolls are 9 sweeps old. The beta trolls that are alive now are about 7 sweeps old.
If the game affects the players and the area around them, does that mean that the people(if there were any) living around John are dead? Or is it as if the Kids are the only humans left on Earth?
They were probably killed by the massive meteor that John escaped by entering the Medium. When the kids use their cruxite artifacts they’re transferred into the Medium, which is a separate dimension.
is there any canon instance of a living or dead thing being used in/created with alchemy?
Rose used Casey for alchemy once. Dave used some dead stuff on two occasions. Assuming Grandpa Harley’s animal trophies are real then so did Jade.
Nothing living has been created though.
Question- were the kids that were sucked into the house juju from a different timeline than the gameovers and the kids we have now? and their being in there is what enabled john to get his retconning powers? if so, then how did the timeline where they fought caliborn and create lord english happen?
They most likely are the kids we are seeing now, only in the future.
Has it ever been said what apartment floor Dave lived on?
He lives on the top floor which we first see in [S] Dave: Retrieve Dead Bird . We also know this because the top floor of the building is the only one that’s on his planet.
are there anymore FHSF lore/facts/whatever that you can share? kinda interested now lol
Check the forgottenhsfacts tag.
Didn't Dirk say to Jake that he pretty much "Raised his own damn self" from the stuff Alpha Dave left for him?
Yes
I'm so confused about Vriska yelling about not touching the sprites, because in the beginning of Homestuck, John highfived his sprite, before it was prototyped twice. By Vriska's logic, he should've gotten prototyped with it. ??? (I wouldn't put it past vriska to be wrong though lmao)
Sprites who’ve only been prototyped once have been touched before without being prototyped again so she’s most likely wrong.
What did rose see in the cueball(or what its called, the thing where you can see answers and what Doc Scratch was prototyped from) that made her grimdark? And didnt Vriskas ancestor have it first?
There are multiple cue balls that have been dispersed by Doc Scratch. She asked the cue ball whether the Horrorterrors were benevolent and this caused her to go grimdark. What she saw wasn’t shown but the answer was obvious: they’re not.
is mituna having those red and blue veins on his forehead canon?
No, his face is never shown.
You are so sweet thank you for helping confused fans
Thank you and we’re glad you enjoy the blog.
In part of the recent updates Vriska mentioned Gamzee has "plot armor" and that she will probably throw the fridge into the ocean on earth when all is said and done. Being that Lil' Cal is also in the ocean and both he and Gamzee are on Caliborn's earth, could this be how Gamzee got there? just chillin' in a fridge until earth dries up and a cherub lays an egg there?
Yes, that’s most likely how he got on post-scratch Earth unless he finds a way to get out of the fridge.
Is Dave albino?
The kids’ appearances have been left to the reader. That’s why the sprites are blank.
has hussie ever stated what he called each character since they were named by the fans at their introduction? like before karkat was named maybe he was "candy red/grey troll 2" or dirk as "orange human" in hussie's head
He said in an answer on his old formspring page that he based each of the trolls off of super heroes. As for the kids, he drew up their character profiles before Hs started but left the naming up to the fans in the suggestion box.
Do sprites prototyped with a player still retain their original class/aspect abilities?
We never see Davesprite use any sort of time travel and Jadesprite’s teleportation abilities were because she was prototyped with Bec. Aradiasprite never used any Time abilities either. Roseprite has mentioned that her “abilities” will help in placing the fenestrated panels at the most useful locations. As a Seer of Light, she can see can fortuitous paths and the best choices so it may be that a player must be a godtier and then be prototyped to retain their class/aspect abilities.
hey someone asked about davesprite being alive isn't there a chance he could still be alive and come to this timeline like jaspersprite did when he brought rosesprite to this timeline.
Pre retcon Davesprite’s fate is unknown. He could’ve easily hitched a ride on Lowas like Jaspersprite did or he could’ve died. But considering how important of a role he’s had so far it would be a little disappointing to just have him die off-screen.
ONLY READ IF YOU HAVE READ THE UPD8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how did Vriska get the warhammer of zillyhoo?
It’s probably the one that Gamzee had here.
Considering when Dream Selves and Prospit and Derse were explained, the least I could say would be I was a little confused. If you wouldn't mind explaining them in more simpler terms compared to Homestuck's explanation, it would be greatly appreciated! c:
A dream self is an extra body for the player that remains asleep until they’re woken up. Everyone’s dreamself can be awoken differently. They can change their appearance but lose this ability if the main body dies. If the player wants to ascend on their Quest Bed then the dream self must be alive. When the player dies on the bed, their dreamself will ascend to godtier. If the player uses their Sacrificial Slab, which is located in the center of the moons of Derse and Prospit, then they don’t need an extra body.
is Jake and Dirk dating?? Im confused about it
No they’re not dating currently. Dirk broke up with Jake during the Trickster part (epilepsy warning for that page) although later on he said he regretted how forceful he was with Jake’s courtship and that him and Jane should’ve talked earlier about their mutual interest in him.
kinda irrelevant, how does the boon system work, like its boon to boon buck boonbuck to what?
Boondollar
Boonbuck (1 million boondollars)
Booncase (estimated to be 1 trillion boondollars)
Boonbond (1 quintillion boondollars)
Boonbank (unknown value)
Boonmint (unknown value)
Is luck in the domain of light players, or was that just Vriska, because I don't remember Rose doing anything that involved luck.
Luck and knowledge are the domain of all Light players. Aradia refers to Rose as a “knower of all fortune” because she can see the most fortuitous paths. Vriska is a Thief of Light that steals luck and information for herself. Aranea is a powerful Light player that has gathered knowledge over time and is prone to having certain 8r8ks in her favor.
John's Zappy Thing
John’s retcon powers were overshadowed by the end of that Act 1 flash. If you look close enough, somewhere in the left, you see a piece of john’s hair disappear in blue. The very same scene happens when John zaps out a thousand pages later, but you actually see his whole body.

http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=009029
Actually Hussie went back and added that after John got his powers. You’ll find oil from Lowas, John’s hand and even John himself spread throughout the comic, but they weren’t always there. Changing what was been previously stated is the definition of Retconning.
~Mod T
can you actually find a full out john in random pages after he touched the juju?
I don’t think so, the places he’s teleported are usually right outside the point of view that we get, but it is possible to catch parts of him on occassion as seen in the end of act 1 flash.
Does every Hero of Space has to have "Frogs" in their planet name?
Everyone in a successful session, yes
You once said that players only have 24 hours to beat the game, but wasn't it mentioned in comic that it took the trolls several months before they won?
Players have 24 hours to beat the Black King once he starts the Reckoning.
As far as I’m aware, the average amount of time before he starts the Reckoning is usually a few weeks like Karkat’s group had, although it might differ by session.
The Beta kids’ Reckoning started super early (Less than a day in) due to interference by Bec Noir.
How does one return from Trickster mode?
It just wears off.
what happened to vriska after terezi back-stabbed her in god tier?
She died, came back as a sprite, exploded, became a pirate, found some treasure, her crew left her, her pre-scratch ancestral counterpart turned out to be a dick, she realized that she was also a dick, then learned about the power of friendship and made out with a fish-lady.
Which are all the vast (sounds) and the (color)(measures)?
Well let’s see, there’s the
Vast Honk (Sound LE makes when he enters a universe)
Vast Glub (Sound Glubglub makes that kills all the trolls)
Vast Croak (Sound the Genesis Frog makes when he’s created)
And then there’s
Red Miles (Unavoidable attack causes by the Queens’ ring)
Yellow Yard (The Yard Stick Hussie places between the two 4th walls that John and Jade traveled between)
Black Inches (Snowman’s whip)
I think that’s all of them
Has nepeta done anything really important?
Stopped Equius from possibly killing a bunch of people by being his Moirail, got Aradia, possibly the most helpful member in their session into the game, AND most importantly fucking allowed Fefeta to exist, poor, sweet, dear, precious Fefeta.
2 questions. 1: what are all the kids' quests? 2: how do they find them out?
John’s was to free the fireflies, which he did by removing his planet of oil
Rose’s is to play the rain and bring life back to her planet’s ocean
Jade’s was to stroke the forge and breed the frogs
Dave’s hasn’t been stated directly in canon, it could relate to the Forge or the legendary blade Caledfwlch.
The Alpha kids’ has not been stated.
They learn their quests by learning their planet’s lore and by speaking with their denizen.
Can Caliborn control minds?
No.
What do Heroic and Just mean, and are there any other kinds of deaths?
No there are no other kind of death that leads God Tier’s to their eternal slumber.
To answer the other part of your question I quote Doc Scratch when Rose:
Broadly, mysteriously, and according to the case of the individual.
One may be killed by opposing a corrupt adversary and die for a just cause, as through martyrdom, for instance. This would be heroic.
Or one may be subject to corruption, and slain by a hero. This would be just.
are the trolls and humans still playing sburb/Sgrub to present?
The humans are still playing Sburb and the trolls are helping them, yes.
Do all Time player have the ability to reset a session.
If they possess needlekind and their session hadn’t been reset prior then yes.
i was under the impression that the trolls had 24 hours to beat the black king and spent those several weeks hiding in the veil AFTER they'd beaten him
That can’t be true because Karkat and Kanaya were frog breeding for weeks. If they had left the Incipisphere after a day they couldn’t have done that.
wait are u doing asks yet or no
no
Is there a reason that Dirk made Jake kiss his head?
To wake up his dreamself that was unconscious
When the session is won, who would be able to take over the new universe? Would it be all the kids, just the beta kids (since its their frog), or just the alpha kids (since its their session)?
It should be all the kids.
There’s no basis for this in canon but I like to believe that anyone that walks through the end game door has some ownership to the new universe.
Can we have a random forgotten fact about Mr. Horuss Zahhak?
He starts all his sentences with a happy horse face 8=D
Wait, when they win the session, what will happen to the trolls??
They’ll go with them
have we ever seen dirk and jake have an actual conversation in homestuck? which doesn't involve brain ghost dirk or AR?
They’ve had just 1 one-on-one’s seen in canon. It was just Dirk asking where Jake is and Jake ignoring him.
When do we find out Dave's eyes are red? I don't remember that part
It pops up a few times, the first of which I believe being [S] Jade: Wake Up
does anyone ever call karkat "kitkat" in comic or is that purely a fandom thing
Fanon
Is Caledfwlch even a thing someone can pronounce?
(Kal-ed-vool-ch) Caledfwlch being the original Welsh name of Caliburn, aka Excalibur
How long has it been since we've seen an underling on screen? (Not counting carapaceans)
I don’t want to say Act 6 Act 4, but I’m really thinking it was Act 6 Act 4, so it’s been like 2.5 years : /
Seeing as part of him is Dirk and Gamzee, can Lord English drop some sick rhymes?
Don’t forget that Equius was also a slam poet, 3/4th of Lord English are rappers, so there’s no doubt in my mind that the final fight of Homestuck will be a rap off between the Striders & Tavrosprite vs. LE
((How long does it usually take to respond to a message?))
It really depends, somewhere between 5 minutes and two years
about that ask pertaining if time players could reset timelines, could you explain that a little more? where does it say they can do that, and why is needlekind necessary?
In order to reset the timeline you need to initiate a Scratch. If the player’s session had already been Scratched they can’t do it again. In order for a Scratch to be initiated someone who has Needlekind must wield the Quills of Echidna to scratch the session’s Scratch constructed located on the time player’s planet.
Have any of the megidos done anything you’d consider bad??
They’ve all kinda murdered some people, that’s kinda bad.
