Doesn't John find a can of prank peanuts on his desk, say that he won't fall for his dad's pranks again, then talk about having a peanut allergy?

Yes

Does Jade have a tail?

No

If Colonel Sassacre and the Condesce were married then doesn't that technically make her John's great great grandma?

Technically she’s be John and Jade’s Great Grandmother, yes.  She married him post scratch too so she’s also Jake and Jane’s Great Grandma.

Yo can you supply a source for a scratch not being possible in caliborn's session?

It hasn’t been stated in story that it’s impossible, but the Cali’s weren’t made through ectobiology and Caliborn’s session didn’t have a Reckoning so a scratch wouldn’t change anything.  Also he doesn’t have Echidna as a denizen or have Needlekind so he wouldn’t be able to initiate the scratch regardless.

Who started calling Dave 'Cool Kid' first?

Terezi

Does every Space Player has to have "Frogs" in their planet name.

If they’re in a successful session, yes

Do we know anything about the pre-scratch ancestors, that is Karkat's generation in the beforus universe?

The only one we know about if Beforan Feferi.  She was obviously the Empress and a very kind one at that.

Did jake wake up her dream self before the game, if so how?

Jake’s dreamself died before he could wake up

About Jake and Dirk dating, do we ever see one asking the other out? Or is the whole relationship set during the 5 months the alpha kids are playing that we don't get to see?

It’s all set in the 5 months, we don’t see anything but the end of it.

quest cocoons are a round stone bed in a large recuperacoon-esque structure

Yes

What does/do you think happens to all the kids of failed SBURB sessions?

they die. simple as that.  Or the god tier ones live forever alone given that they cannot die of age or illness.

oh, is needlekind weapon needed for scratch?

Yes, the scratch construct has to be scratched (hehe) with the Quills of Echidna in order for it to activate.

How is Vriska able to use aradia's time traveling boxes? I thought Gamzee could use them because he had the jokerkind abstratus. (I forget what Vriska has)

Time travelling devices are not weapons and therefore do not require a specibus to use them.  And Vriska has dicekind.

Who or what determines the Alpha Timeline? If Paradox Space determines it, then why are there failed sessions unless those are apart of Paradox Space's "plan"?

The Alpha timeline is the once that leads to the birth of a new universe.  Doomed timelines are supposed to happen, occasionally doomed timelines require some sort of time travel to go back and change the timeline, in theses instances if the doomed timeline didn’t happen then the Alpha timeline wouldn’t be able to happen either.

for the anon about dieing while your dreamself is on there slab, isent that what happened to aradia?

No, Aradia’s dreamself was killed by Bec Noir while on her slab which is why she ascended.  Since she died before the game started her dreamself his not take on her wounds.

but didn't Bro use his sword to finish the scratch?

Bro used his sword in an attempt to start the scratch but it didn’t work

What happened to the Condesce in Pre-Scratch Earth?

She left

Dirk always had control of his dreamself, so does that mean the kiss that AR urged between Jake and headless Dirk wasn't necessary whatsoever? So in other words it was just part of AR's, and possibly also Dirk's, manipulative schemes to mess with jake?

No, it was necessary. Dirk’s dreamself was knocked out at the time and the kiss woke him up.

I'm not sure the dream self thing is accurate (if the dream self were on the sacrificial slab). I don't recall Waking Self wounds ever taking effect on a Dream Self. If Dream Selves were injured and died in sync with their respective players, then what would be the point of having one?

After Vriska was beat up by Aradia her dreamself started to bleed too. And they don’t die in sync.  There’s a bit of a delay to give other players time to kiss the dead one to wake their dreamself or to get them to the questbed/cocoon.  Obviously if they died at the same time they wouldn’t be able to ascend.

What happens if a player were to die before entering the Medium, but were somehow revived before entering as well? Is that possible? More of a opinion question I guess since its never happened (the closest instances being with Sollux and the Alpha kids).

That did happen with Roxy and Dirk.  In that case they could use the teleporters on Prospit and Derse to get back to Earth.  The Derse duo ended up entering with Jake.  How other players would pull that off is unknown, they’d probably have to hitch a ride home.

If someone whose dream self is alive dies and no one ends up kissing their corpse, does their dream self die as well?

Yes, except for in Aradia’s case since she died before the game started.

are u sure about the pre-scratch condesce? like, didn't she get there before 1910 when the scratch timelines split off? i thought that the pre-scratch her died from meteors and the version of her we're seeing is from the post-scratch universe.

Maybe but accourding to Nannasprite she just disappeared one day so I think it’s more likely that she left. But who knows.

i read your answer about vriska having dicekind as her having dickkind....

She has that too, how else would she be able to use personality?

why did [s] Jade: Wake Up happen?

Her dreamself was dead and the special dreambubbles weren’t setup yet

Why did aradia become a ghost instead of just dying like everyone else.

Because she hadn’t started playing the game yet

What time does Andrew Hussie update

It varies, midnight in some European countries

what is the shadow on the right of the last panel of the last update? no one's talking about it, so maybe it's something unimportant i forgot or don't recognize?

That would be Terezi’s head

what was aradia's strife specibus before she was killed? hmm??

She had Whipkind

What happened to Fedorafreak?

He ascended to the Gent of Piss

So what's going to happen to Gamzee, exactly?

The Gamzee that we’ve seen hanging out with Caliborn, that’s (probably) this Gamzee.

Does it ever get stressful answering all these questions? apologies for giving you another one. Pretty ironic. ovo;

Yes, frankly it does, especially when it gets back logged and things get buried.
The sole reason I added another mod was because the inbox has been congested for awhile and I was having a hard time dealing with it. Another mod is helping but we still have nearly a thousand things in the inbox, it’ll probably take a couple weeks/ months to get back down to four hundred.

Was it ever confirmed which of the Alpha kids are prospit dreamers and which are derse?

Jake and Jane are Prospit. Dirk and Roxy are Derse.

How are BRO, MOM, DAD and POP related?

The Beta kid’s guardians aren’t related. 

How much of the music from the bandcamp page is used in the story? Is it just the volume albums or is it scattered around?

Here is a list of songs used in-comic. 

Do we ever get to see Karkat's sprite talk? if so, where?

We do not get to see his sprite talk.

Can you explain the scratch?

Already did. 

how did jade wake up on prospit?

It’s common for Space players to wake up on their moons before the session begins. What causes someone’s dream self to wake up varies from person to person. 

Does Sollux suffer from headaches? I recall it has something to do with being psychic. On a personal note I'm fairly sure it's actually because he constantly wears those duel colored glasses.

Well his mind is hounded by the psychic screams of the imminently deceased so that could give him headaches. 

how old are each of the beta trolls?

Six sweeps or roughly thirteen years old. 

Wait, I'm confused. In cascade, how did Dave and Rose get to the trolls' meteor if they were in different universes?

They traveled to the Furthest Ring which is the area between sessions. 

Do we actually know Dave and Karkat's relationship status?

The quadrant they’re in hasn’t been confirmed but it’s most likely redrom. 

Was it ever said canonly completely why Equius didn't act while getting murdered? I've theorized that he didn't act bc of his extreme loyalty to the hemospectrum but I wanna make sure

He couldn’t bring himself to raise a hand against a highblood like Gamzee. 

I'm wondering, do we know what section of the juju each kid was sucked into? Because I was thinking, John's new retcon powers could be from sticking his hand into where Dave was, since they're sort of advanced versions of his powers, so maybe someone could get advanced seer powers etc.

Their exact sections haven’t been determined in-comic but the cover of the Sburb music album does provide some idea. 

what exactly /is/ a scratch

Okay, here’s the basic-est way to explain it.

Y’know the portals that the kids get sent through as babies when they’re riding the meteors?  The scratch changes where those portals go and rewrites history to accommodate that change.

what's the current status of Aradia?

She’s alive, chillin in the dreambubbles cause she can

How did Jack get the Black Queen's ring again?

He killed her because she made him wear a silly hat.

Karkat has a sprite? I know Rose does from the recent update, but I dont remember him having one? Also what requires someone to have a sprite, is it when they are prototyped?

Every player has/had a sprite.  Karkat’s was of his Crabdad.

What's the difference between Bro Strider and Dirk Strider?

Dirk Strider is post scratch and from the future. Bro Strider is pre scratch and is lacking facial features.

I feel like Dirk's return has been written rather ambiguously. Do you feel that he could come back and be a villain?

Vriska keeps grouping him with the bad guys, yes, but I don’t think he’ll be a bad guy.  I think she’s just not looking forward to meeting him because Dirk kinda has some control issues and likes to be the one to make the plans and he won’t like that she’s telling everyone what to do.

What would happen if Rosesprite's second prototyping was also Rose?
