Could you possibly link it the theory for the bright red meaning damaged please?? And what about Kanaya? Her skirt is bright red and I was wondering, like how Nepeta wears equius' colour, is it like her and Karkat without the moirailleigence? Or?
Sure. And I doubt Kanaya’s skirt is in reference to Karkat’s blood color since she didn’t know it was red until after they started playing the game.
Is Tavrosprite the same version of Tavros that went treasure hunting with Vriska? I know most of the pre retcon characters were erased but Treasure Hunting!Tavros was in the dream bubbles at the time, which seems to be unaffected by the retcon
The pre-retcon characters weren’t erased, they still exist. But no this isn’t that Tavros.
I got a new laptop and need to save my game at the end so I'm ready for the upd8, but I'm not sure how many pages there are? Could you post a link to the most recent page?
You couldn’t just go to the last page yourself? I don’t understand but whatever, here you go.
What would happen if someone fell asleep after their moon (Prospit/Derse) blew up/Got destroyed? Like with the trolls. Can they still sleep or would it be bad for them to sleep?
It was bad for them, until Feferi had the Horrorterros make special dreambubbles for her and her friends to go to when they dream or die.
I've started catching up on upd8s, but do I really have to go in the loop and re-read all the old shit I've already read when John is following Terezi's instructions about where to zap to?
wait... my friend said a thing and it fucked me up, does Tavros really have fire powers or was that just a running gag?
We’ve only seen him make fire once. So either it’s only something he can do in his dreams or he doesn’t have a use for it outside of Alternian slam poetry.
Fraymotifs are powerful special attacks that can be purchased by the heroes from their consorts. Each player has three personal fraymotifs and one combo for each of the other players. For example, John has 6, three for him and one for Rose, Dave, and Jade.
What are horror terrors and what can they do, if anything?
The Horrorterrors are mysterious eldritch creatures that reside in the Furthest Ring. They’re giant tentacle monsters that whisper to the Derse dreamers and their motives are unknown.
I may be mistaken but when Nanna was talking to fedora freak did she mention something about the lady raising her not being human? Does that mean she has Janes memories or?
Nanna and Grandpa were raised by the Condesce who is a troll. Jane was raised by Dad Crocker.
wait so why are bec and the white dog lady chasing eachother? are they like kismesis or? whats the white dogs name anyways?
The white dog lady is Peregrine Mendicant prototyped with the same powers as Bec Noir. She’s chasing Bec Noir because he murdered her friends during [S] Cascade. While Bec Noir has flushed feelings for her, she has blackrom feelings for him.
WAIT. "Nanna and Grandpa were raised by the Condesce who is a troll." Does that mean that the beta kids' (John, Dave, Rose, Jade) guardians knew about Sburb?? I hadn't realized that the time loop reached back that far!
Considering Grandpa owned the company that produced it pre-scratch, yes it’s entirely possible that they knew about Sburb
Squiddles aren't trickster Horrorterrors. "Squiddles I guess are a sort of candy coated representation of the outer gods. (...) They were not necessarily conjured into existence by the gods, via dark conspiracy either. It's more likely that humans created them as an echo of their subconscious awareness that these gods exist, and present them through this cute, approachable facade."— Andrew Hussie
Doesn’t going trickster turn the user into candy coated representations of themselves though?
Okay, so if Jack Noir already killed the Beta Kid's Black King, then is their new goal to kill the Alpha Kid's black king to be able to win? Or is it hopeless for both sets of kids?
Alpha kids’ black king was already killed. Given that it’s a void session he never expanded past his chess piece form and was blown of by CD.
I'm not sure exactly where things started changing after the retcon and it's been so long since I've read hs, I've got slightly confused. Kanaya's currently grey rather than white, so is she still a rainbow drinker or can she just turn off her light now?
She’s still a rainbow drinker. Porrim taught her how to turn it off.
My friend and I were having a debate about this and was wondering if you could help clear it up. I keep saying Gamzee is Jane's patron troll, but she says it's Feferi. Can you help us figure out the true patron troll of Jane?
Well if Jane has a patron Troll then it would probably be Gamzee. I don’t see how it’d be Fef. But the only Alpha kid to have a canon Patron troll is Jake, and his patron troll isn’t even a troll, he’s more of a Patron Manbro, it’s Caliborn.
I just had something mind-blowing occur to me. The A2 Black Queen refused to have the Genesis Frog's face as her face. As a result of this, she was exiled. And as a result of being exiled, she wound up having the Genesis Frog's heart as her heart. There's some deep irony there.
Has it been canonically stated anywhere that a session has to have an even balance of males and females, or is that just an unrelated pattern in the comic?
Kanaya states here that re population is among the long term responsibilities of the players so that may be the reason why there is an even number of male and female players in the sessions.
UMM??? HOW DARE YOU MOCK AND MAKE FUN OF SUPERWHOLOCKS??????? ARE WE JUST A JOKE TO YOU?? HOMESTUCK ISN'T EVEN GOOD HOMESTUCK IS FUCKING GARBAGE YOU'RE FUCKING GARBAGE
what are chereubs?? this seems like a stupid question, i know, but my friend has me all confused because she's saying theyre trickster angels, but i dont know.
Aranea explains what cherubs are here but essentially they’re a race of green aliens with an exoskeleton that hatch from eggs. They hatch as a snake and then pupate into a humanoid creature. Two personalities are present in the body and while one is asleep, the other will be awake. One personality is benevolent and the other is malevolent. Eventually one personality will dominate and have complete control of the body, which is signaled by their cheek swirls filling in. When they grow up, they grow either white or black wings for good and evil, respectively.
