How did the alpha trolls get into the dream bubbles if they were created in the A2 session?

Time works weird in the Furthest Ring

in the troll hemospectrum, a fuschia blood is supposed to be the heir to be emperor/empress. does that mean there's only ever one fuschia blood existing at a time or how does that work?

2 Fuschia bloods at a time. The current ruler and the one meant to challenge them. Upon maturing the Heiress will have to fight the current Empress to the death. After which there will be 1 until the next successor is hatched.

What do you think about Davepetasprite²? (Special question: And what about Jasprosesprite²?)

I like Jasprose, they’re fun.
As for Davepeta, they’re gonna give me a headache and I’m not really sure how Dave and Nepeta’s personalities are going to mesh together. I look forward to finding out what they’re like, it’ll definitely be interesting.

I just realized that since Dave had red relationships with both terezi and karkat, dave is canon bisexual! =D

Bi, Poly, Pan, Gay but thought he was straight since that’s considered the default by societal standards, it’s your pick.

why trolls got titties????

That’s just their battle ready armor since girl trolls are tougher than boys.

who is the current empress?

The Condesce

Isn't the battle armor thing just a headcanon

I was making a Kids Next Door joke

is the "girls trolls have boob bc armor" a canon thing or is it a fan theory?

Theory

has it been clarified what iterations of the beta kids were trapped inside the house juju treasure?

No, but it’s most likely the ones we’ve been viewing recently.

Doesn't davepetasprite's colour scheme remind you of a...pumpkin? #illuminaticonfirmed

*dusts off the old ship name for DirkJake* Ah yes, Pumpkin Patch is gonna be canon again.

Coincidence that Dave and Nepeta were/are both derse dreamers??? (X-files theme)

I mean, so were Eridan and Sollux, and Feferi and Nepeta, and Equius and Hal/Dirk. And Vriska and Tavros were both Prospit dreamers.

holy shit yall are rude to people who voice a fucking opinion. someone asks a stupid question and you just direct them to the faq like its no problem but someone voices distaste about something? how fucking dare they have an opinion lets insult for it

what happened to davesprite's sword?

It’s probably around. Davepeta has claws though so we probably won’t be seeing it again.

what genitalia does davepetasprite^2 posses

Do you think this update will be important at all?? So much random shit has already happened and I'm sure something fantastic is going to happen at the end but the lord is testing me

Everything is important in Homestuck, especially the stuff you don’t think is important

In A6A6I5, (around there), John jumps through time strands to prevent some incidents and help out their future selves by Terezi's instructions… I'm wondering how then, if Gamzee was captured by Terezi before he went on his murderous rampage, how come in the future, all of the trolls who died because of him that night are still dead in the new timeline?

He was captured after his murderspree

Do you think I can add DaveKat to my list of canon ships under the "red" column yet? Also sorry about that anon who was rude to you

Based on facts in canon, yes I think you can. There are those that would argue though.

Wait, so if its still speculation how can you count it as canon? Also, why wouldn't Jasprose be referring to Terezi? From what we've seen Karkat hasn't been obsessive and controlling over Dave, so how can that be referring to him?

“Desired” is not filled. Jasprose was talking about two separate people. Referring to Terezi when speaking of Karkat’s old desired matespriteship and to someone else when discussing this fulfillment of the quadrant.

Why did that anon think you were being rude? You seem pretty polite to me.

Probably because I said pissbaby which I don’t consider a real insult but apparently there are those who do.

Is there any explanation as to why jasprosesprite^2 and Davepetasprite^2 have dreamer outfits worked into their design

That just seems to be how sprite^2s work

So, jasprosesprite^2 called Davesprite their bird brother... and now davesprite and nepetasprite are prototyped together... Can jasprose still date them?????

I don’t see why not. There’s no longer a human society to consider incest a taboo so there wouldn’t be anything inherently wrong with a potential relationship between the squared siblings unless they considered it to be wrong.

Plus trolls don’t have a concept of incest and Davepeta is part troll. Although knowing Hussie, and Homestuck’s audience I’m pretty sure nothing will happen between the two characters romantically speaking in canon

do you still like homestuck, even after the months of stupid updates?

Excuse me, I braved through the 2012 Micropauses, the Megapause and the fucking Gigapause, my enjoyment of Homestuck unscathed, never did it falter. There ain’t nothing on this Earth or beyond that’s going to stop me from liking Homestuck

Hi, me again, I just wanted to say that I reread the update and you're absolutely right, I misread what Jasprose said. I didn't see when she said "he is currently involved with someone in that quadrant", I thought she was talking about when he was pursuing Terezi on Jasprose's version of the meteor. Sorry! I ship Davekat, too, you'd think I would've noticed that. XD

You’re welcome!  And to make it perfectly clear to everyone, I DON’T EVEN SHIP DAVEKAT, I’m just reporting the facts as they’re told and meant to be read.

Is there a way to read Homestuck without the flashy-ness? The flashing images give me serious headaches, and I'm curious if there's an epileptic-friendly version. I'm probably gonna be severely disappointed if there isn't tbh... I tried to read Homestuck before, but after a while, the incessant use of flashing has made it impossible for me to read it.

I’m pretty sure there is, that definitely sounds like a thing I’ve heard about, but I don’t know. I’m just gonna post this and peeps can reblog or reply with something it they know.

Lol, do you expect the next 7 pre pause updates do be as *ahem* 'interesting?' I feel like the Hussmaster is going to enjoy leaving us with some *sneeze* thoughts before the pause

The upd8s are probably just gonna be everyone finishing up their individual conversations and regrouping for the big fight. 

if you don't ship davekat, then what do you ship?

I have a page for that in the faq actually. Towards the bottom.

What's the difference between Retconning (windypowaz) and Timeline shenanigans?

Retconning doesn’t create doomed timelines and you don’t have to worry about creating stable timeloops like you do with normal timetravel

Do you answer all your asks? (Wow you have a lot today)

Oh honey, we have very different definitions of a lot

hi! sorry if this is a bit unrelated in spite of current events but, im making a fancomic and i dont have a rage or blood player. would the game still be able to work without them? thanks

Yes, only TIme and Space are necessary for a functional session

Do you think Hussie did what he did as a lazy way to appease 2 different shipper groups (Davekat and Katnep)

No, that’s not even the Dave that he is dating, it ain’t gonna make a difference to him

Pardon me for asking, but why did Jake keep on talking to Jane, asking for dating advice?

Because Jane is his friend

Alright I gotta settle this bullshit once and for fucking all because I've been getting hate over it. I'm not angry at Homestuck or Hussie in and of itself. I realize there's a rhyme and/or reason to the shit going on right now in-comic. Thing is the way everything is getting so goddamned convoluted is turning into pretty much happened to cause the show Heroes to get cancelled. And yeah I was pissed when I sent the original fucking message. But I just do not like how the comic has been going (1)

(2) lately, but it’s still a comic I’m invested in. I was mad when [S] Game Over happened too, but that was more for the fact of excessive overkill even for Hussie than it was for plot reasons. And aside of my argument, as an anon pointed out: yes, I feel as if you calling me a pissbaby was rude. I did not appreciate it, since there was no reason for it other than the fact that I was sending in an opinion, which a lot of people have done to this blog without being called names. It fucking hurt.

Okay, 1) to all my followers out there don’t fuckin send people hate, especially over something as stupid as a webcomic, gosh, I don’t condone that shit.

2) Luckily, Homestuck is a webcomic and not a television show so it can’t be cancelled, no matter how stupid or outlandish it becomes.

3) The reason everyone died in GAME OVER was to give John a reason to retcon everything. If only one or two people died, that’s not really a good enough reason to alter the Alpha timeline, especially with John’s view on death. Everyone needed to die or else John wouldn’t have done it

4) You are free to think Homestuck is weird or not-plot oriented now, but in my opinion the Trickster arc was much weirder and even less plot-oriented because now we’re at least getting character development.

Gotta say, I love the new, sassier brand of question answering that mod T brings to the party.

I can’t really say this is new. Once every few month or so there’s just one day where I go all out. Usually it ends in everyone having a fun time, this one got a little more sour than usual though.

What is all this talk of davepetasprite^2? I'm way behind on updates

God Dammit, I FORGOT TO TAG UPD8 STUFF AGAIN.  You just focus on catching up. Ignore all this davepeta business. These are not the sprites you’re looking for

Hi, I'm new to the whole homestuck thing. Should I start reading homestuck, all my friends say no but it looks interesting.

Do your friends read homestuck? If yes, I can assure you they are saying no in a joking fashion and you should read homestuck. If no, don’t listen to them, they haven’t read homestuck, they don’t know what the jazz is all about, you should read homestuck.   

I thought davesprite was dead???

Post-retcon Davesprite died but his pre-retcon self survived.

what happened after fefetasprite exploded? were they alive?

Their ghosts appeared in the Furthest Ring.

is Kankri being Flushed for Latula canon or

Canon.

Didn't Karkat <3 Jade? What happened with that?

He had a crush on her but I don’t think he does anymore.

What is the symbolism of the beta kids' entry items? The bottle, egg, and Bec piñata?

Why did Damara initiated the scratch? Does it have anything to do with her working for LE? Thanks

Aranea wanted to initiate the Scratch and that was the only thing Damara was willing to help her fellow players with.

this might seem like a dumb question, but sometimes people photoshop/edit panels and they look real. before i read hs i saw the panel of dave in the pot of soup and it said he was sitting in it because "ive lost control of my life" but when i actually read the comic i found out it was fake. so now my question. is the panel of baby dave and bro playing some turntables real or not? he was also wearing a shirt with a heart on it and shades like his bros. is that panel read or fake?

The panel with Dave and Bro is canon. Dave sitting in a cauldron is also canon

Where does it say that the sprites inherit all the memories of the doomed and alpha timeline versions of themselves memories, which allows Jasperose to know about davekat?

Why did Damara initiate the scratch?

Because her session was busted and there was no way they could win.

Who is latula

Neophyte Redglare’s pre-scratch self. 

who is Neophyte Redglare?

How did Dualscar and The GHB die?

The Grand Highblood killed Dualscar. The GHB is of a very long lived blood caste so he may have lived up until the Vast Glub and then died but his death isn’t mentioned in canon.

is it legitimately mentioned that trolls have gray skin? or like no...

So if Damara initiated the scratch, then why did Meenah blow everyone up and kill them?

The Scratch would erase them forever but the Horrorterrors told her if she killed herself and her team before the Scratch finished they would be able to continue existing as ghosts. 

Davepeta looks vaguely similar to Caliborn’s humansona.
