what exactly is the point of the horrorterrors existing in the game? they seem to have very little to do with the rest of the picture with derse, prospit, skaia, and the general completion of Sburb.

They whisper information to the Derse dreamers and that is they’re advantage in the game just like the Prospit dreamers are able to look in the clouds of Skaia and see certain events. 

I do the Superwholock thing.

John almost did that once too

is mod t taking applications for best friend

Please forward all best friend applications to kinglypanda dot tumblr dot com

hey ok so apparently you're getting a lot of hate from superwholock fans, and i'm both a superwholock and a homestuck. what do i do?

Get a beverage and a snack and enjoy the show

why is everyone sending you angry superwholock asks

I said superwholocks were worse than homestucks.  

See, now comes the question of "who's being serious?" and "who's being satirical?" with these superwholock asks.

Y’know, I really hope that they’re all serious.

I apologize on behalf of the Superwholock fandom They should not act like that seeing as most of the fandom is comprised of adults. Thank you for not going off on them. Again I'm sorry for the actions of those in my fandom (Btw Your usage of the smuppet in the garbage disposal was great!)

No need to apologize, I pretty much asked for this just so that I could reply with random facts and totally not acknowledge their threats/claims

Please explain the difference between all the alpha and beta timelines, I'm so confused

Beta timeline is pre-scratch.  There Jane’s group grew up to be the guardians.

Alpha timeline is post-scratch. There John’s group would play the guardians. Also the Condesce took over the Earth.

SUPERWHOLOCKS ATTACK!!!!!!!!! ):<

One time John was attacked and his hammer got broken so he fought an imp by launching things out of his sylladex

I'm not an angry superwholock, but I want more facts. Send the superwholocks to me.

When Aradia was a ghost she forgot what anger felt like.

whered the superwholocks go i was just getting ready for the show

They probably got in their Impala shaped Tardis and time traveled into the past so that they could force Arthur Conan Doyle to make Johnlock happen in the original Sherlock Holmes book.

you said you would reply to superwholock hate with "random homestuck facts", but these facts are technically not random, since they are obscurely related to the hate in question.

I'm not a superwholock, but I NEED FACTS!!

Once Dave couldn’t drink his aj because he kept thinking about troll pee

Patron trolls can be found by adding the digits of your birthday together. For example, John's patron troll is Vriska. 4/13 means 4+1+3, or 8, which is Vriska. So, Jane's patron troll would also be Vriska.

Maybe for in real life, but in story patron trolls are “a troll who is particularly focused on helping one of the kids”

*whispers something about superwholockstuck*

Ms. Paint, Hussie’s faithful in story assistant’s name is a pun based of of the website’s namesake program, Microsoft (ms) Paint.

Can I get a random Captor fact?

One time Sollux looked out a window

This is the best show I've ever gotten out of seeing someone get anon hate bless you

Thank you and you’re welcome

Goddamn Homestucks are everywhere, like internet cancer.

*Karkat looks into the camera like on the office*

Is it possible to use any classpect powers before reaching god tier?

Yes, everyone has and can use classpect powers before ascending. Going God Tier just enhances them and allows the user to develop them more in depth.

Whose session is the b1 one? Whose session is the b2 one? Whose session is the a1 one? Whose session is the a2 one? Sorry, the those names for the sessions confuse me •~• oh and by which name of that similarity would Caliborn's be??? Thanks.

The A1 session was Meenah’s, the A2 session was Karkat’s, the B1 session was John’s, and the B2 session is Roxy’s. Caliborn’s session would presumably be C1 going by the pattern.

What are the trolls going to do about making more trolls since the orb is long gone. Also are we to assume that Karkat is red for Dave and Black for Vriska? I know Vriska can't handle black or red relationships but is it hinting that Karkat wants one? Also can the human and trolls repopulate together making somewhat of a hybrid or are they too genetically different? Sorry for the large amount of questions

Roxy has the ability to produce the Matriorb with her Void powers, she just needs more practice. Karkat being red for Dave seems very likely but I do not think Karkat is actually black for Vriska. Hussie stated on his formspring that trolls and humans could reproduce via ectobiology like how Doc Scratch was made by merging the paradox slime of a cueball and Lil Cal. Appearify one troll and one human and then merge their paradox slime to create the hybrid. At least I’m assuming that’s how they would do that. 

Is it possible trolls could be asexual, but only in certain quadrants? I don't seem to remember Vriska having any black relationships.

Vriska had a kismesisstude with Eridan before sgrub started but broke it off with him later on. I don’t see why trolls couldn’t be asexual.  

So Jane and Jake got Heroic and Just so does that mean the ones in the newest updates are the ones from the original dimension or from another dimension

The Jake and Jane who died Heroic and Just deaths respectively were from the Game Over timeline. John retconned out the events that caused Game Over to happen and this is the new timeline. 

What is the glitchy stuff around where Dirk is?

Those are star dust glitches caused by Caliborn clogging up the Act 6 Act 6 cartridge on this page. 

forgive me if i'm wrong, but isn't karkat jade's patron troll?

Yes

can you tell me what a kismesis and an auspistice is? (I know it's a really stupid question)

A kismesis is your caliginous partner. An auspistice is your ashen mediator. A kismesis is an especially potent arch rival that you find attractive. An auspistice is a troll who keeps you from developing a kismesissitude with another troll.

this is probably a silly question but why does vriska have both eyes now? is it because she ascended to god tier?

Yes it is because she ascended. 

Can you explain trickster mode please? I always get kinda confused on what it does.

Trickster is caused by licking Calliope and Caliborn’s combined jujus. It causes you to go into a state of mania I suppose and act very crazy. Being in trickster mode also supercharges your powers quite a lot which is why Jane was able to cause Life to flourish on her planet on this page (epilepsy warning for that page) and why Jake was able to produce a pumpkin with his Hope powers on this page. 

Why is Brobot so bent on beating the crap or of Jake?

Jake told Dirk he wanted a sparring partner and so Dirk built him a robot of himself and set it to sparring mode and it beat Jake up. 

I thought an auspitice is a troll who basically keeps your kismisitude from becoming unhealthy, not like a kismisis cock block

No an auspistice, as stated on this page, keeps a feud between two trolls from becoming a kismessitude.  

What do the heroic and just deaths mean?

A Heroic death will result if the hero was killed while opposing a corrupt adversary, or in an act of self-sacrifice for the greater good. A Just death results if the hero is directly responsible for terrible actions, or if they have been subject to corruption by an evil influence.

Do you need your dreamself alive to go godtier?

If you want to ascend on your Quest Bed then yes you do but if you want to ascend on your Sacrificial Slab then no you do not. 

Has the thing about ascending with dreamselves on Questbeds and without on sacrificial slabs been confirmed? Or is it just a theory based on the ascensions we've seen so far? And where did the name "sacrificial slab" come from?

Calliope uses the term here and mentions that since the Alpha kids have no more dream selves that dying on their Quest Beds would do them no good and that they need to use their Sacrificial Slabs at the center of Derse and Prospit’s moons. 

Would the concept of kismessitude exist on Beforus?

Yes, the Beforan trolls had all four quadrants. 

You guys are a blessing to this earth for answering these questions. This blog has helped me understand homestuck more and I'm very grateful

Thank you and I’m glad you enjoy the blog. 

If a death is neither just nor heroic, say, the player is sitting around doing nothing, and someone kills them, or, say, if they are neutral and got caught up in the fight somehow, what happens to the player?

If they’re a Godtier then they’ll be resurrected.  

Is there any other deaths other than 'Just' and 'Heroic'? Not like the 'die-and-come-back, but is there a third permanent death for godtier?

No, Just and Heroic are the only ones. 

Can a troll be in more than one quadrant with someone? For example, like if their matesprit wanted to auspisticize between them and someone else.. Is that allowed? o3o

The relationships in the quadrants can malleable especially in the concupiscent half. One trolls could have black feelings while the other has red feelings. This can cause them to vacillate between the two quadrants.  I’m not sure about the matesprit also serving as an auspistice, that seems like it would be a difficult relationship. 

Me and my friend are fighting over if Eridan went grimdark or not, I know he didn't but she still says that he did. So did he really go grimdark or nah?

No, Eridan never went grimdark. The panel where people say his skin looks darker than usual is because of the color contrast. 

I have not read Homestuck but I know few things and have a question. Is Sburb Sgurb is like a game yes? So when characters die do they die just in game or do they die real life too? (English is not my first language sorry)

Sburb/sgrub is just a way for them to enter the Medium which is another dimension. So yes, if they die in game it can be permanent. 

Do you know whether or not if jade's teleportation abilities are a part of her bec-based powers, or her space powers.

Jade herself has stated that she doesn’t know which powers come from Bec. 

what happened to the beta kids after they were sucked into caliborns house juju?

Their fate is unknown. 

is johnkat canon?

No it is not. 

Do any of the kids or trolls have middle names? I thought I heard Dave's was Elizabeth, but idk if that's canon or just something random i read on my dash.

None of the characters have been revealed to have middle names. 

I have never been able to find the pages for the Beforus(?) trolls, where are they?

The Beforus trolls were introduced in three flash games. 

No, no it’s not, it’s just a different tub.

Is it stated in canon that Latula lost her sense of smell? (Also that Kankri had a crush on her?)

Yes, it’s canon. In this flash you can talk to Aranea at the end and she’ll tell you. Kankri’s crush on Latula was canon as well.

So would it ever be possible to, if you die on your Quest Bed while your dream self dies on the Sacrificial Slab, to have two of the same God Tier player?

No because if you die on your Quest Bed you become your other self while if you die on a Sacrificial Slab you stay the same self so even in the scenario you suggest you’d still end up with one God Tier player.

would the scratch be possible in Calliborn's session, since he technically is a time player? I mean he clearly had some sort of planet on which his quest bed was on when he died, so could there be something there to scratch?

The scratch is caused by sending the Time player’s scratch construct to Skaia and switching the meteors from the Reckoning. Since Skaia blew up in his session and there was no meteors to switch I doubt a scratch is possible in his session. 

Let's say you never woke up on Derse/Prospit would you still be able to become God tier using your quest bed?

Yes, your dreamself would wake up when you ascend.
