aren't the betas somehow also the alphas' biological parents too, or something? i was pretty sure the parentage went both ways due to ectobiological shenanigans

Not genetically but John technically created all the kids so he could be considered the Large Father.

So how did Jane have kids with Jake and Roxy with Dirk?

xxx

I think the PM anon wanted to know her full name/title, which is Prospitain Monarch.

wait that chart is actually weird to me. there's no line connecting jane an jake or roxy and dirk. does this mean the Alpha kids are not considered siblings?

The Alpha kids are not related at all.

the wiki says that in the B2 universe, the roles are reversed (dave and rose are roxy and dirk's parents, poppop and grandma english are jake and jane's parents). it's under "ectobiology", click "post-scratch" above the diagram at the bottom

They are their “parents” socially since they arrived earlier, but not genetically.  Like how the Ancestors are technically the spawn of Karkat’s group.

Where does it state that killing Snowman kills the universe?

Here.

What happened to fefeta/nepeta/feferi after she exploded?

Their ghosts appeared in the dream bubbles here

When did davesprite explode?

Here.

also didn't karkat say he didn't remember which group he created first in the lab?? so they have no way of knowing which group would be the ectobiological "ancestors" and which would be the "descendants"

On this page Doc Scratch states that Meenah’s group were “to become the ancestors of the twelve they formerly regarded as theirs, and this twelve would be chosen for glory.” This is what happened with the Beta kids when they scratched as well. The descendants played but didn’t succeed so they scratched and their “parents” took their place as the players in the new session. So Meenah’s group are the descendants of Karkat’s group and Karkat and his friends are paradox clones. 

is texan Dave just a headcanon or is it canon?

It’s canon.

is the psionic still alive on hic's ship? or did he die? if so how?

He was killed by the Vast Glub here

When does it say that the Beta kids beat their Black King?

They didn’t, Bec Noir killed him and started the Reckoning early

So Dad is the offspring of Nana and some dude she married right? So how does Dad exist in the Alpha timeline if Jade never birthed him?

First off, Nanna is Jane not Jade. And to answer your question, Dad Crocker is the son of Poppop, post-scratch John.

Where's that page where tavros controls a whole army of "animals" (actually sgrub enemies)

Here

So I was reading a part where Roxy is making a ball of spikes to repopulate the troll population and help the condesce take over because if not Jade would kill her over and over again. But. Wouldn't she die completely because it would be just and heroic? The justice would be her preventing the race from it's population, and the heroic part would be her not letting the condesce have an army.

A godtier dies permanently is the death is Just or Heroic, not both. Roxy would revive if she was tortured by Grimbark Jade because she’s not evil so killing her wouldn’t be Just and getting your organs teleported out repeatedly isn’t very Heroic. The Condesce wanted Roxy to summon the Matriorb because the troll race is endangered and she doesn’t want them to die out completely. Also, she wants a new population to rule over. 

Was it ever announced in canon that Dave has a great interest in photography or was it developed within the fandom?

No, Dave does have an interest in photography. He even has his own makeshift darkroom.

What happened to Aradia's ancestor after she jumped out the window when Hussie was shaking up Doc Scratch and he became inanimate?

She was captured by Lord English.

Can you give a list of how all the ancestors died if we have any knowledge on how?

The Signless - killed via torture

The Handmaid - killed by Condesce

The Summoner - ??? (may have been killed during large scale rebellion war)

The Psiioniic- killed by Vast Glub

The Disciple - ???

The Dolorosa - killed by Dualscar

Neophyte Redglare - killed by Mindfang

Marquise Spinneret Mindfang - killed by the Summoner

Executioner Darkleer - ???

The Grand Highblood - ???

Orphaner Dualscar - killed by the Grand Highblood

Her Imperious Condescension - still alive 

The Grand Highblood and Darkleer were long lived so they may have lived up to the Vast Glub and were then killed by it. 

Regarding the talk of the guardians, why is there dad? Like we have the four guardians for each of the four players in the alpha universe, but there's just... Dad?!?! Why father why

Dad Egbert was the son of Nanna and some unidentified suitor. Dad Crocker was the son of Poppop and some unidentified wife. 

Is Equius being a vegetarian canon or fanon?

It’s very possible that he is a vegetarian considering he doesn’t like that Nepeta hunts animals. 

is there an origin for that meme where homestuck fans say that homestuck sucks (great blog by the way omg)

It’s not a meme, it’s a fact. 

Is it true that when Aradia died the first time by Sollux, that she couldn't of been revived cause her body was blown to smithereens or something?

She couldn’t have been revived anyway because they hadn’t entered the game yet. 

Which trolls brought which into SGRUB?

Server—->Client. Servers bring the client in to the Medium. 

Is there a time limit on kissing someone to revive them?

Yes, you have to kiss them before their dream self dies. The time limit depends on the severity of the injuries.

Isn't that reason that Equius dislikes Nepetas hunting due to him being against violent acts of all sorts?

Considering he used to beat the shit out of robots in caged matches, probably not. 

Is karat x dave really canon?

Yes, they’re in a relationship. 

i'm lame so humor me, what's the vast glub? c:

The Vast Glub is a shock wave of psychic energy that was released by Feferi’s lusus before she died. It killed the entire troll race except for the Condesce and the eleven troll heroes who made it into the Medium before it was released. Karkat didn’t get Sollux into the Medium in time and he died. Feferi revived him afterwards. 

Oops I meant to say Jane not Jade. So if Alpha Dad is the offspring of poppop, doesn't that mean he's a completely different person then Beta Dad?

Yes, he is they just look and act very similar.

Are the rings of life and void the same ring? If not how was the ring of life created? I know the void ring came from the alpha kid's session but I can't remember where the life ring came from

The Ring of Life would be the White Queen’s ring from the Alpha kids’ session

So when Calliope was telling Dirk that she read about him in texts, what texts did she mean? Page 006464.

It was a journal written by Rose. Gamzee took it, voided out every mention of himself using Equius’s blood and left it for her.

Which are the probabilities of Nepetasprite?

fairly

Pages where John and Caliborn interact

Here.

why were there no monsters on Jane's planet?

They all died long before she entered her session.

did nepeta die??

Yes, she was killed by Gamzee.

Why does Jasprosesprite^2 have the ^2?

Because they are the product of two sprites merging together. 

Why did lowas explode?? (When dave sprite and John die)

Typheus knew another John from the pre retcon time line would bring his Lowas with him into the post retcon timeline. Also, Jade spending three years by herself without John or Davesprite was the price Typheus warned would happen. Because John was able to edit the timeline himself his friends had to feel the same loss he did. 

if the post-scratch trolls didn´t have a reckogning how did feferi´s lusus die?

They did have a reckoning.

Hey, what's with all those kernelsprites roaming around? How did they appear? And will there be enough to revive all the dead characters?

The kernelsprites belong the the Alpha kids. In the post-retcon timeline Tavris, Fefeta, and Erisol sprites were never prototyped so there were 3 empty ones. Vriska prototyped Tavros in one of them so now there’s Tavrosprite, Jaspersprite prototyped dead pre-retcon Rose and himself in another, and the third one is still empty but it probably won’t be for much longer.

is the red and black dirk-like robot boy an actual canon character or was he just made up because it's boring to draw a pair of glasses when you want to draw AR?

It was popular humanized AR in the fandom that worked it’s way into one flash.

Why did the Beta kids send Jane and Jake to a little before 2000, but Roxy and Dirk to a bit beyond 2400?

The Beta kids didn’t decide the time period the Alpha kids were sent back, it was Skaia who decided what portals to send them through. 

In regards to the kernelsprites, shouldn't there be four because there are four alpha kids? I know one is Tavrosprite, one is Jasprosesprite^2, and a third will probably be used to revive Nepeta, but what about a fourth kernelsprite? Am I forgetting something?

You’re forgetting about Arquiusprite which is Dirk’s sprite. 

(i'm so sorry if this has already been answered) How was the scratch initiated? I know that Bro tried, and I know that Damara had the needle kind Specibus. So i thought it might have been Damara?? Also, When the scratch was initiated, Why weren't John, Jade, Dave, and Rose erased from existence like the pre-scratch trolls were? (again, I'm so sorry if this has already been answered)

John initiated the scratch using the needles and the needle kind strife specibus. The Beta kids weren’t erased from existence because they were able to escape their session before the Scratch finished. John and Jade went through a fenestrated window to the Furthest Ring and Dave and Rose traveled there in Derse’s moon. 

when did alpha bro leave dirk? i mean how old he was?

Dirk’s Bro died a couple hundred years before Dirk landed on his meteor…

Why are porrims eyes Bright yellow when she died, but everyone elses are white?

It’s because she’s a rainbow drinker and her eyes turn yellow when she lights up

So question, when condy had all of her powers in the GO!timeline, did she somehow just have them? Or did she get them by taking position of the black queen and wearing the ring which gave her the powers of whatever the kids prototyped?

This is in the faq my friend

If Callie died on Jade's quest bed, would she god tier? Or does it have to be her own, not yet used, or specifically a quest sarswapagus?

Even if you can use a Quest Bed that isn’t your own, you’d still need a dreamself to use it which Calliope does not.

how long has jane been crockertier?

No more than a couple hours.

Why exactly are things between Dirk and Dave so awkward currently? Is it their personalities, the situation or...?

This is tough to explain.  Dave has mixed feelings towards his Bro after reflecting on all the abuse and hypermasculine life style he made Dave lead which he explained a couple weeks ago. Dirk is just awful at talking to people in person, plus it was only a few hours ago that he realized how shitty he’d been towards Jake in their relationship.  Basically both parties are insecure and not sure how to approach one another.

This is a really bad character analysis. Dave and Dirk are not characters that I can go on and on in detail about their mindsets and the reasons they do things. So I apologies for that. 

When in the timeline did Aradia God Tier? I thought her dream self was on a sacrificial slab in the center of Derse but Derse blew up when she was still Aradia bot right?

Yes and Aradiabot exploded when her dreamself died and ascended

What was the purpose of the Scratch?

The Scratch is meant to reset the session and it’s conditions to make a more favorable session.
