Why did Terezi even want Vriska back alive? Out of guilt? Because that just made things worse, why didn't Terezi bring someone else alive or try to prevent deaths of Nepeta, Equius, and Feferi?
It was out of guilt. She regretted killing Vriska throughout the three year trip and it destroyed he self confidence. After Game Over Terezi saw a way to right her wrongs and make things better by bringing Vriska back. She didn’t keep any of the others alive because they weren’t her fault, it wouldn’t be fair of her to change the actions of other people which is why she only changed what she did. And is it really worse anon? At least everyone is this timeline is alive.
Personality wise i'd say that GhostPunk!Vriska had grown a lot more than Alive Vriska and that makes me sad, we went through all of that adventure only to have it all reset.
I agree that Punk!Vriska went through the growth that current Vriska hasn’t, but Punk!Vriska’s still around, maybe she’ll become plot relevant again. Only time will tell.
do the mods hate vriska too and condone all the hatred?
I don’t hate Vriska at all. But that’s Vriska’s character, she’s written so that people will argue over whether she’s a massive dick trying to hurt peeps or if she’s trying to do good in a brutally honest way. Arguing about it just falls right into her character trap.
Im not a bad person if i think Vriska is the best and most Diverse character, am i?
Not at all, I absolutely agree with you.
Why was Jaspersprite in LOWAS, and was he zapped with the planet?
I have a feeling he was there just to have that moment with Roxy. But because of that there may be two jaspersprites running around.
In the initial explanation of troll romance they provided an example that works completely contradictory with what you just said though.
In reference to Kismesitude
There is no particularly good human translation for this concept. The closest would be an especially potent arch-rivalry.
Aren’t Sasuke and Naruto potent arch-rivals? I think my example fits okayly.
What is the designation for the Vriska who is red with Meenah? (Like you have Blind!Sollux or Grimdark!Rose) I like Vriska but I really like the Vriska with Meenah
I’ve seen Punk!Vriska and GO!Vriska (GO standing for Game Over since that’s what timeline she was from) I lean more towards Punk!Vriska myself.
What's the deal with vriska seemingly able to turn god tier on and off? Is that just something trolls can do?
No, every one that’s ascended can do that. The kids just don’t do it that much.
what happened to the adult trolls that condesce banished from alternia? did they all just die? and is it possible ancestors' souls to be in the dream bubbles?
They were on other planets expanding the Alternian empire but died after the Vast Glub. And no the ancestors can’t be in the dreambubbles.
where do you stand on davekat?
I’m neutral to the topic, they are obviously closer post-retcon. The possibility that they could get together has been hinted at recently but nothing’s been confirm, they could just be best buds.
Whats up with the sylladex? in the beginning John said the jester doll was too big to captilouge, yet Jake has an entire house sized orb in his.
Different sylladexes have different capacities.
do you think dirk will arrive at the meteor (or whatever is this place theyre sitting rn)?
Right now they’re on a platform underneath Skaia and yes, Dirk will arrive soon as mentioned by Rose here.
If you die and your in a dream bubble do you age? And do sprites age?
Ghosts in dream bubbles do not age as evidenced by the Alpha trolls who have been there for billions of years and still look like they did when they died, about 9 sweeps. Sprites probably do not age but there has been no confirmation in-comic.
which god tier classes have been specifically stated to be specific to one gender or the another such as the case with lords and muses rather than assumed to be specific to a particular gender due those classes only being assigned to 2 or 3 canon characters that share the same gender?
The Prince and Bard classes are stated to be male-exclusive here.
When did Dave get shot by jade on accident? I don't remember that part
It happened during their fight with Bec Noir on this page in the skinny panel at the top.
How old are the Alpha trolls?
They’re 9 sweeps old.
I'm kinda confused on how the seven gates work? Like I know one of them eventually leads to another player planet so in that case would you need to go through one of their gates or would you need to travel back to your own planet and go through another gate, could you like explain the progression of each gate?
The first gate leads to a location on the player’s designated planet, the second leading to the player’s server’s house on their planet, the third further into the server’s planet, fourth on to the server’s server’s house, and so on. The seven gates are located above the player’s house with some space in between as seen here.
how did rose turn grimdark?
After finding out about her mother’s death Doc Scratch and Jade urged her to look into her Magic Cue Ball and ask if the Horrorterrors were benevolent. This caused her to turn Grimdark.
didn't jade mention being pen pals with jake at some point?
Yes she mentions this in her letter to John on this page.
What is the prize for beating sburb?
The prize is that the players get to rule over the universe they create as gods.
Is it true that Caliborn actually called Calliope attractive?? Like indirectly I mean
Yes he does on this page.
When did Lil' Seb get knocked into the ocean? I must have missed it.
He gets knocked into the ocean here.
What are the juju's? like a list of em? I know cal is one, but I'm not really sure of anything else, or the importance of them tbh.
Juju’s are magical objects that have no traceable origin and each have a unique use and rules governing their use. Here is a list of known jujus.
how did gamzee become sober?
Gamzee had been consuming sopor slime pies before the session and once the trolls got trapped on the meteor he no longer had access to the pies. He says here to Dave that he hasn’t had a pie in a while. After that Dave sends him a video of some Insane Clown Posse which makes him very angry.
so wait what is the Handmaid's curse?
The Handmaid’s curse is that of conditional mortality, meaning she could only die on certain conditions. It extended her life span so that Lord English could enslave for however long he wanted.
brief summary of the ancestors life stories, far as we know? what do we know about the psiioniic, specifically?
You can find a summary of the Ancestor’s lives here. The Psiioniic was a gifted psionic who was a slave before he became a follower of the Signless. After the death of the Signless, the Psiioniic was grafted to the flagship of the Condesce. She extended his life span with her touch and eventually died as a result of the Vast Glub.
How did Latula lose her sense?
The incident has never been revealed in-comic.
I'm curious about Psionics. Are they strictly unique for the captors or are there other trolls with them? If so, do they come in different colors?
The psionic abilities are common in yellow-blooded castes as mentioned on this page. The Condese has developed these psionic abilities over time. Considering she also shoots out blue and red beams there probably aren’t any color variation.
so i was going back and re reading homestuck and i thought i saw horrus say that he couldn't understand darma's lowblood accent. do lowbloods have a different accent then highbloods?
Yes Damara has an East Beforan accent (which is really just very poor Japanese). Eridan is also mentioned having an accent on his introduction page here.
Was it ever mentioned that female trolls have boobs?
Yes it’s mentioned here by Arquiusprite
do trolls have memes
Dave mentions in his conversation with Terezi here that their memes cancel each other out so probably.
Which powers did Jade get from her godtier, and the powers she got from becoming/merging with Bec/Jadesprite?
Her Space abilities include being able to change the size of an object and teleport things and also accelerate their velocities. Her Bec powers include generating a green fire barrier here. Although Jade herself has mentioned that she doesn’t know which of her powers came from Bec.
More pertinent would be to ask why Troll girls HAVE boobs or even why there are females, considering the fact that they breed through the Mother Grub and the mixture between the stuff from either sex can put in buckets seems to be compatible regardless of gender. The breasts could just be secondary sexual traits (like the big tail feathers of peacocks), but that would just be guessing. (ARQuius suggests female trolls don't make milk, so that's out) Perhaps the Mother Grub wasn't always involved
It’s never been explained in canon but a theory I enjoy is that females are the more aggressive sex in trolls and the breasts are extra padding acting kinda like armor allowing them to take more hits. This is supported by several female trolls having aggressive tendencies as well as Flarp, a very dangerous game being called a “game for girls” by Karkat.
what happens to a ghost when it dies?
They die,
FOR REAL
Mod A? Mod T? AT? WOW TAVROS CONFIRMED
Excuse you, I was a mod first, TA, Sollux confirmed.
Hey, if some of the Alpha trolls were god tier (Meenah and Aranea for example and possibly Meulin and Kurloz since they did not give a direct answer), then how did they die? I mean, yes, Meenah killed everyone with a bomb, but it did not follow the rules of dying while godtier, so it has been bothering me. (This blog is amazing and sorry if my English is bad.)
Meenah timed the bomb to go off right before the scratch finished so that the God tier players wouldn’t have the time to come back to life.
vriskas keep saying shes going to go soon and wont be with the others when the big battle stuff happens. wheres she going?
She hasn’t said, but many think she’s going to the Green Sun. There’s a popular theory explaining why.
What page does it say that sollux has a lisp? My friend doesn't believe me
His introduction page, last line
What's that popular theory about Vriska and Greem Sun?
Basically, Vriska’s gonna try to steal the Green Sun’s energy but ends up destroying it and creating a hole in paradox space that LE can use to get into this universe.
In the 6&p=008178 flash, what happened in the remainder of it?
You mean during the glitching parts? We see Jane with Gcat at an ectobiology station hinting that she creates Gcat. Every other part is seen later on in the story.
can you link us to the vriska/green sun theory you mentioned?
I did, in the ask explaining what it was.
If the troll session was one session all along, why was it still implied in early Act 5 that the teams were working against each other?
They thought that they were going to be playing separate sessions and competing with one another. But surprise, they had to work together.
What's gog and jegus?
Jegus was a typo made by Dave here, fans in their bucket phase use it all the time and have the characters say it frequently in comics even though Jegus has only been used 18 times in canon, 4 times by Vriska and Karkat, 3 times by John, Dave and Terezi and once by Feferi.
Gog has a similar story only drawn even more out of proportion as it’s only used 3 times in the story, twice by Terezi and once by Dave
in act intermission 2 how did feferi and eridan get on the meteor?
The meteor was passing through a dreambubble. Those were dead Eridan and Feferis.
Are bulges canon?
What exactly are you asking? If you’re asking if trolls have bone bulges then yes, it’s been referenced many times. But if you’re asking if troll bulges are the little tentacle doodad seen so often in fanart, then no, that’s not canon.
Apologies if this has been asked a 100 times already, but has the four letter first name thing for the humans ever been explained, or is it just apart of the 413 thing?
Yes. The kids’ first names are 4 letters long and their last names are either 6 or 7 letters. 6+7=13 The human naming scheme is a reference to the arch-number of homestuck 413. Similar to how at the beginning of the story it was about 4 13-year old kids.
Question... What is currently happening in homestuck? I'm confused about the updates.
The meteor crew rescued Jake, Jade and Jane from the Condesce. And now they’re waiting for Arquiusprite to free Jane from her tieratop before they go over battle plans so they’re taking this brief moment of down time to just talk with each other.
hey so i was wondering, with vriska keeping gamzee at bay now and doing all of the time traveling, does that mean that nobody was around to raise caliborn and calliope? or is this something that is unanswered and needs explaining now
Gamzee will still get it done. Caliborn only exists post-retcon so everything that’s happened to him wasn’t effected by the retcon.
What happened to the other Great Weapons Li'l Seb was carrying? (The Needles of Zillywair and what not.) I know they were created by the Tricksters, but what happened to the specific three that were being carried with the Warhammer by the bunny?
You mean Liv Tyler (different bunny) the one given to John that had the warhammer of zillyhoo. The other three weapons it had weren’t trickster weapons
Since when does Caliborn only exist post retcon? I thought he was present before that
Caliborn is from the future of the Alpha kids’ timeline, his existence is dependent on them creating a new universe explained by Aranea here. In the Pre-retcon Game Over timeline everyone dies and they never create a new universe so Caliborn never hatches. And yes he was present early in the story before the retcon happened but he was always in the far off future.
