is it cannon that roxy kissed calliope or just heavily speculated

speculation

"She's responsible for the ones our players use, yes." Wait, I don't remember how Fef is responsible for the time bubbles?

She negotiated with the Horrorterrors to create them. It was a win for both parties.

How did Lord E enter the trolls' universe?

Doc Scratch died and LE entered through him

With the negotiations with the horrorterrors, that Feferi did to create the dream bubbles, what did they win? (Since it was a win for both parties)

The large collection of ghosts will slow down Lord English who was killing the Horrorterrors.

Did the Condence and Jack Noir kill the Alpha Kids on purpose? I understand the fact that she need Roxy, but what about the other?

They attacked them on purpose to have them go god tier. Jack was possessed by Caliborn who told Jake he would help him get stronger. The Condesce needs them to beat sburb and create a new universe. 

I forget, but I seem to recall that when universes are created (like when the Beta kid's world was made) they're made with everything on them that instant? Like they have history but it was created in the instance the universe was, it didn't actually exist before. Is that true, or am I remembering something entirely different?

Yes, it was mentioned by Sollux on this page. 

Wait so how did Doc Scratch make Alternia shitty? I thought it was already like that.

Doc Scratch mentions here that he was the corrupting influence that caused the post scratch troll race to be in constant war and violence. He also used the Handmaid to stir up class warfare and cause violence in whatever era she haunted. 

Did trolls always reproduce using a mother grub? Do we know if there are any other ways that trolls can reproduce? I know it's just a webcomic but it didn't seem to me like a likely way to evolve...

The Mother Grub is the only way for trolls to reproduce. They can’t carry hatch less young like humans can because they’re an insect-like race. 

Whats a 2x3dent? I know its a trident thingy but like why is it called 2x3dent? is it still pronounced trident? ( I tried to send this earlier but i don't think it went through. Sorry if you got this twice.)

Two ends, three points on each end. 

wait how was doc scratch 'born', so to speak?

The trolls’ Black Queen created him via ectobiology by combining Lil Cal and a white cue ball. 

how did condescension get her psiioniics?

FAQ

What exactly is lil cal anyway?

Answered that here.

i(.)imgur(.)com/IBHP5j4(.)png what page is this from???

That’s the image you see when you hover over their symbols on this page

So I've asked this twice before, and you never answered so I figured I'd try one more time. Since the Doc Scratch we know is made up of things in the session we know, and he has stated that he is in every session, would he look different in a completely different session?

Doc Scratch mentions here that instances of him have appeared throughout every universe, not every session. Judging from the fact that we’ve already seen the origin of Lord English, my guess is that no, Doc Scratch does not look different across every universe. 

Why did Vriska make Tavros jump off the cliff?

Because she’s a bitch.

Hi! I've always been under the impression that kernal sprites can only be prototyped twice, so I've been kind of confused about Jasprosesprite^2? Wasn't Jaspersprite already double prototyped, or is Jasprosesprite^2 something else entirely?

Rosesprite had only been prototyped once so she was able to be prototyped a second time with Jaspersprite.

Have aradia and terezi ever talked in cannon?

Here

What was that bottle in s enter that rose smashed?

It was her cruxite artifact that she needed to use in order to enter the Medium. 

Is Spades Slick sharing a name with Bilious Slick just a coincidence?

No, Spades Slick took on the name Slick because he knew it would irritate the Black Queen since she hates the Genesis Frog. 

Has Equius ever sworn?

Here

What is Dirk referring to when he talks about the bad stuff he has done in the latest upd8?

He’s talking about how he sent a killer robot to beat up Jake in an attempt to help him get stronger but Jake wasn’t okay with it at all. He’s also talking about how he basically bullied Jake into a relationship with him and was very manipulative. I also talked about the similarities of Dirk and Bro in this ask if you want to look at that. 

Where does it state that Tavros is allergic to cats?

Here.

Why dont the alpha kids have time and space players? Arent they essential and arent the alpha kids in a completely different session than the beta kids?

Their session was always meant to merge with the Beta kids’ session. Dave and Jade are their Time and Space players. 

Is Horuss as strong as Equius?

Aranea describes him as a “passionate body builder” but whether or not he’s as strong as Equius is uncertain.

fedorafreak?

That’s a person, yes

Is Horuss having a pair of sweat powered gauntlets to control his strength canon or fanon?

Canon

what are those "welsh powers" Dave was talking about?

That’s in reference to the legendary blade Caledfwlch that Dave’s gonna use. Caledfwlch is a Welsh name and is a sword capable of harming Lord English.

So . . . We've saw Dirk and even Jake using gas-masks when traveling trough Dirk's Planet, but in this recent upd8's neither Dave or Dirk are using one, i missed something or what happened there?

Krypton (the gas on Dirk’s planet) sinks and is located only at the base of the planet so when they are on top of the buildings they are safe and don’t need gas masks

is having all quadrants filled considered cheating?

No

Can we get a source on the sweat powered gauntlets?

Sure, in 3rd Openbound flash Horuss says he’ll “need to equip [his] steam powered deSTRENGTHening gloves” in order to give Damara a glass of milk

What is the bluish-green glowing thing that Dave is looking at in the latest upd8? Just some of the planet's lightning?

Yeah, it’s kinda like one of those plasma globes (which are occasionally filled with Krypton)

Did crabdad know that karkat was a mutant?

Crabdad was a crab, I doubt he was acquainted with the hemospectrum

do you think that having lil cal all his life could be the reason beta dirk was beyond douchiness?

It was definitely a contributing factor

What is the plot of homestuck

Do Alpha!Rose and Dave know Roxy and Dirk are coming? If so, how?

Yes, Seers have this weird thing of remembering their pre-scratch selves. The Signless remembered his life as Kankri and how better Beforus was and that’s why he started his movement. Similarly Alpha!Rose remembered Sburb and got Alpha!Dave involved in prepping for their ecto-parents to arrive centuries later.

Has Johnkat (John <3< Karkat) ever been canon?

No. Karkat has hate crushing on John for awhile but John never reciprocated

what trolls know Karkat's blood color?

All of them at this point

How much times have you guys read Homestuck?

I’ve read it twice but I’m planning to read it again soon since I haven’t read through it since 2013

Did we ever see Jade's talksprite?

Nope

what are vriska and (vriska) doing

Arguing

When was the last time buckets were mentioned in the comic?

11/16/2012, [A6I4] ==> ,TG: jane and i are like what the absolute FUCK while dirks just there with his bucket all like ‘yup’

When lining up blood color from lowblood to highblood, why do some people put Karkat inbetween Sollux and Nepeta when he should be below Aradia?

Because the Cancer symbol comes between Gemini and Leo and it’s very possible the if Karkat was not a mutant his blood color would land between the two.

How many times has Karkat canonly said the word fuckass?

One

are tentabulges canon?

Nope

sorry if this has been answered, but if callie were to take OFF the ring would she die again or would the ring be available to be given to say, nepeta or eridan

She’d die

Is the Vriska that's dating Meenah in the horse dreambubble canonically 16?

She’s at least 16. We don’t know how long she’s actually been in the dreambubbles but it’s been at least three years

if seers can remember their past lives like Rose and the Signless, then does Terezi remember being red glare or something?

Redglare is post-scratch Latula, not Terezi. 

Besides Aranea mentioning that Kurloz seemed to treat Muelin nicely, is it canon that he ACTUALLY likes her?

They used to be matesprites canonically. 

Did you know, All characters in HS are Legal in the UK, I could totally bone ANYONE

Some people seem to think that Gamzee went crazy because he ran out of sopor slime. I've always theorized that it was because due to his blood color that he was always unpredictable and the slime only pacified him, or that lil cal told him to murder his friends. Which one of these is true????????

There are several things that contributed to Gamzee’s homicidal spree. He is violent by nature and the sopor slime was acting as a pacifier so running out of that was one.  Lil Cal and Doc Scratch were another. Viewing the blasphemous ICP video was also one
