if your dreamself dies can you no longer god tier?

FAQ, anon.

the kids are 16 in canon but shouldnt they technically be 19 by now ?

In real time they’d be 19,but it’s still 2012 in story. 

What does "FAQ" mean?

Frequently Asked Questions

So what were Jane and Jade doing during those 3 years?

Jade was alive, on the ship, alone, as she said.

Jane was living on Earth until she started playing the game five months prior

Is Gamzee's god tier outfit (costume) accurate?

Yes

so does that mean that all bards would have this gigantic fucking codpiece

Yes

I'm on mobile so i cant get to faqs. Could u put a link please?

1. There’s a link in the description

2. If that doesn’t work you could open a browser and go to forgttenhsfacts.tumblr.com/faq.

3. I don’t really see why this is so difficult for everyone but since I’m nice here you go

some people are using the mobile app which doesn't let you open any pages, like - for example - /faq.

Well I assume you have access to a browser such as Safari or Chrome where you can open it.

how many troll

so many. so many troll.

Idk how you deal with so many frustrating asks with such grace but I see you being completely tolerant and I appreciate you putting up with so much ignorance

Thank you anon. I don’t really have the luxury of being able to be mean. Given the large number of followers this blog has if I’m anything but polite I run the risk of getting a ton of shit for it and I’d very much like to avoid that.

Who's your favourite troll?

Don't you think its a little unimaginative to have the objectively best troll as your favorite?

Not at all, he’s always been my favorite. When I first read homestuck no one liked Equius, he was practically invisible (hehe) to the fandom. The same thing could be said about Nepeta. It wasn’t until the short lived late-2012 memes of “with Equius” and “Nepeta’s dead” that the fandom as a whole started to appreciate these beautiful characters.

i'm not sure if this would be considered a forgotten fact, but i cant seem to find the panel when john resurrected after being killed by jack when he was with rose and they found the corpses of their parents. i found an image of it on the internet, but i cant get a panel number from it. it wont let me give you a link but if you search "john resurrect homestuck" on google its the first image with a bunch of flashing colors. do you think you could help me find it?

Here.

What made the Beta kids' session so inevitably unsuccessful to initiate the Scratch?

Jack Noir started their Reckoning early which shortened the time span to finish the game immensely. Also, there was a tumor at the center of their Battlefield.

has dave ever stated in cannon that he doesnt like his shades to be removed and prefers to keep them on or is that just a widely used headcannon?

Has it ever been said that Aranea has the same eye thing the Vriska does? With the dots and all that.

Show us your trollsona?

Just made her in like thirty seconds in this creator.

how did dad egbert and mom lalonde appear in the battlefield? (dont remember which act;-;)

They got a ride on Grandpa Harley’s ship

What is with the horse calendar. I'm new to the fandom and my friends won't tell me about it. They just kind of laugh. So could you please tell me what the horse calendar is. And like why it's so important. Please. Thanks

Horse calendar signified when the comic would upd8

I know it doesn't show anything other than this in the comic, but is it possible for a lower blood to be a sea dweller? Also, only fuchsia bloods can be royalty, right?

Seadwellers are exclusive to the highest blood castes

Wait, is it canon or un-canon for a rouge to have a heir like hood? Cuz I've seen Roxy with an heir-length-thingy hood

No, Rogue hoods are a normal hood size

estimate time on the omega pause?

I’d probably say a few months. I wouldn’t be surprised if the comic resumes on 10/25 knowing how Hussie is with dates.

Did Caliborn and Calliope share a body? (Currently on act 6 act 3)

Yes

Didnt faq stand for facts and questions?

I’ve always known it as Frequently Asked Questions but both work

Are all the alpha kids mixed ages, or all the same age?

They are all 16

Was there ever a cannon cross over?

Define crossover

If it ends on that date, Homestuck will finish on my birthday! What a great present..

The best present I ever got from Homestuck was Equiusprite for Christmas in 2012. You truly couldn’t ask for a better present.

According to homestuckcanonconfirmer, on a post about canon relationships says that it was implied Porrim and Latula had something going on quadrant-wise. Where is this mentioned?

This flash game. It was actually Porrim and Aranea who had a red thing together.

Did Gamzee ever made fun of Terezi for being blind?

Hi! I know you are probuably already informed about the upcoming omegapause. I joined this fandom a bit later than most. I caught up about half-way through the second pause. I was wondering if you could tell me about the first and second pauses? Were they both called gigapauses? How long did they last, and when were they?

Hello! The Omega Pause is actually Homestuck’s 9th hiatus. There’s a section dedicated to the other Hiatuses on the Homestuck page on the wiki but it seems to be lacking the most recent pause.

Why did meenah suicide bomb her team when they won their session?

They didn’t win their session. She blew them up after Damara initiated the scratch so that they could live in the dreambubbles instead of being erased from existance

I get roses, daves, and jades cruxite thingy (bottle, egg, and bec) but why did john have the apple?

did damara *ever* talk to the humans? if so, which openbound was it (meaning do you have the link to which openbound part it was)

This Flash game.

i just wanted to say thank you guys so much for doing this, it's really cool of you to help out people with something as complicated as the plot to all this!

Dave was wearing a suit. Nepeta was wearing her jacket. The bird had nothing. Where did Davetasprite^2's derse/god tier design come from?

That just happens for sprite^2s where a player is incorporated.

what age was john when he reached godtier?

13

if meenah had to blow everyone up after the scratch to continue existing, than how come the kids didn't have to do that?

Because they left their Incipisphere

Hey, what the heck are the whole enter password things for?!? Because I do not know what to do then and I feel like I'm supposed to enter a password.

Those are for later in the comic, ignore them for now.

Hey, is there any point where one of the characters explain the plot of SBURB/the rules? Because sometimes I get really confused about SBURB because I'm pretty dumb sometimes 😂😂😂

Act 1 & 2

So are we to assume that none of the other sprites ever touched each other prior to this?

What other sprites? All the other sprites were already double prototyped.

I got a confusion going on, brother. Did Vriska pt everyone to sleep and concocted some mindfucking with everyone getting killed by the Condence, but it turned out to be just a dream after [S] Game Over?

No, John changed the past so that everyone wouldn’t get killed, that’s all

davekat is red?

Yeah, Jasprose confirmed Karkat was in a matespriteship with someone and given all the hints recently were left to assume it’s with Dave because it’s definitely not anyone else from the meteor crew.

Wasn't Jasprose talking about Terezi in that last update?

They mentioned her as Karkat’s old crush. If Terezi was the one he went red with I don’t see why Jasprose would specify that she was his “desired matesprite”

okay am I the only one irreversibly pissed about the fact that the writing of Homestuck has gone to everloving shit? like it seriously feels like the "plot" (or whatever the fuck is left of it) is being driven by half-dead gimmicks, gloriously happenstance bullshit shenanigans, and other various things just designed to piss the readers off. Pretty much everything that's gone on post-retcon except the Matriorb thing is starting to make me feel like Hussie is trying to drive off the fanbase.

Wouldn’t you be too? Homestuck was supposed to be a one year story and yet here we are, six years in. He just wants to be done with this story man.

But that’s probably not what he’s doing. It looks like stupid shit and whatever the fuck you said now and Hussie’s gonna swoop in and do something awesome that pulls everything together making us go “oh shit” and then we realize there was foreshadowing for this from like three years ago. Then we can waggle our finger at him and go “oh that darn Andrew Hustler got us again”

But either way, shut up, stop complaining and enjoy your free story or just stopping reading. No need to be a pissbaby.

I'm pretty sure it was Terezi she was referring to because this is PRE-RETCON Rose!!!

Pre-Retcon Rose that can access the memories of other Roses.

So you said that davekat is canon red right now. I was wondering if before retcon if they were black or any other quadrants. I knew there was like a whole love triangle thing over terezi, like... i think karkat wanted both red and black with her but it didn't work out. plz tell me if i'm getting any of this wrong.

Karkat had mixed red/black feeling for Terezi, yes. Dave and Terezi were in Red pre-retcon but then she started sneaking around with Gamzee in the black quadrant which made Dave uncomfortable and he broke up with her. Karkat and Dave had no relationship between them pre-retcon.

How come Davesprite had both wings in the upd8? Didn't he lose a wing fighting Jack/Bec Noir with Bro?

It grew back like two (in-story) years ago

I don' t really mind the writing right now, because I am sure Hussie is going somewhere with it, I mean if we could all get through act 1 then we can all get through this.

Exactly

I really have no idea why anyone(even me) likes equius lol. He's a manipulative guy who is demanding and has a severe supriority complex. also the fanart is kind of weird?? it's like everyone forgot all the trolls are 13-17~

1) he was really bad at being manipulative
2) he did start to improve on that, seen when he took orders from Karkat no prob and was going out to fight Gam before he got the drop put on him
3) literally 99% of Homestuck fan art has characters looking older than they are.
