How did gamzee become split in half again? does the world just not like him or did someone 'game over' him again?

Dirk probably got him with his sword

okay since davepetasprite consists of davesprite from pre-retcon timeline, does that mean post retcon davesprite is still out there in the session?

No, post-retcon davesprite is dead

It's possible that Nepetas have ascended, but then didn't die.

I suppose

Do you think Tavcat is going to get sprited with someone like the other two?

No, there are no more single tier sprites, he’s stuck that way

personally what do you think of davepetasprite?

I really like them. Davesprite and Nepeta’s personalities blended a lot better than I thought they would. Plus with Davepta going to fight Lord English, Alpha Dave won’t have to.

what happened to post retcon davesprite

He exploded on Lowas

Right after getting out of the trickster mode the alpha kids found themselves on their sacrifice slabs (<=I think) on derse and prospit. How did they get there?

They flew there all drunk on trickster magic. 

So what is the power level of sprites^2 would davepeta have any chance fighting lord English?

Davepeta’s power level is probably at least nine thousand so they could probably give LE a run for his money but I don’t think they’d win.

What if Davepetasprite^2's purpose is to interact and possibly remove the ARquissprite part of Lord English?

That would just create a doomed Arquiusprite assuming the pre-retcon one came over with all the other sprites. And even if that’s not the case what you’re describing would be an ability of a Rogue of Heart which is Nepeta’s class but typically when two people merge so does their classpect (such as Erisol acting as a Prince of Doom, destroying his own doom ie not being able to spritesplode even though he was miserable). If anything, I feel Davepeta will act more as a Knight of Heart. Knights exploiting and protecting their aspect and Heart being an aspect of the self, the soul, the personality and motivation. That’s just my opinion however.

What are you two's GTs?

I’m a Mage of Time and Mod A is a Sylph of Breath

If classes merge when a sprite forms of 2 players. What do you think is most likely for ARquisprite? Prince of Void or Heir of Heart?

We still don’t know for sure if Lil Hal inherited the Prince of Heart title or not, but if he did then I believe Heir of Heart because he was finally able to have emotions upon prototyping.

FHSFACTS-Facts - they couldn't have a session, because they have no space player.

*correction* We couldn’t have a successful session, but we could still have a doomed one >: ]

this is more of a question. are the kids physically in the game? are they not able to get off of their computer? it didnt make sense to me because from when jade and john were stuck for three years, why didnt they just log out? do they have to finish the game first?

They were teleported though space and time to a different dimension, they are not in their computers

To answer the anon that was asking about how Gamzee got cut in half earlier, Kanaya did it with her chainsaw after he tossed Karkat into the lava, Dirk wasn't there and brain ghost Dirk had gone away because Jake had calmed down.

That was pre-retcon. They were talking about post-retcon when they fought Caliborn in his claymation masterpiece.

How do we know what the Sylph and Mage classes looks like if no one has ascended to them yet.

Aranea is a Sylph of Light. 

In Cascade, where were they when the Tumor exploded? Like, I know that Rose and Dave were in Derse, but were they in the furthest ring? If so, then why was their Genesis Frog sitting there? Wouldn't wherever the Green Sun was created be inside the Genesis Frog?

Dave cut the chain connecting Derse’s moon to the planet and they traveled in the moon to the Furthest Ring. The Furthest Ring and the Medium are separate planes from the Genesis Frog.

a point of confusion with regards to the retcon and how it works in paradox space. i know the post-retcon asteroid kids still went through the dream bubbles, but did stuff like karkat and meenah meeting even happen from post-retcon karkat's perspective? also, how would aradia (and to a similar degree, sollux) work? are there a pre-retcon and post-retcon aradia floating around in paradox space now?? i am so confused

Karkat and the others still met Meenah and her team in the post-retcon timeline. Whether there are two pairs of Aradias  and Solluxes has yet to be seen. 

Is the retcon when John used his ring to go back with roxy to join the alpha time line?

The retcon was the series of changes Terezi instructed John to do on her scarf. One of them was to get the ring of life before Aranea could. He gave it to Roxy and then he transported them and Lowas into the new timeline. 

thank you both for always having/knowing these little details and helping out!!

You’re welcome and we’re glad you enjoy the blog.

since dirk is dave's father, roxy is rose's mother, jake is jade's father, and jane is john's mother and the fact that jade and john are siblings and so are rose and dave, does that mean that this is trying to suggest that roxy and dirk and jake and jane are canon, ship wise?

Dirk and Roxy are the parents of Rose and Dave & Jake and Jane are the parents of John and Jade. This doesn’t mean those ships are canon it just means their paradox slimes were mixed together to make their offspring

did aradias death have anything to do with the game?? Like if the game never happened would she still be dead?

Yes, she would still be dead.

do jane's friends know about her nagative interactions with caliborn??

Pretty much all the alpha kids hate Caliborn so probably.

re: gamzee getting split in half again, i'm pretty sure it was li'l seb? though obviously hard to tell, because weird claymation buttplug puppets and stuff.

It was most likely Dirk who sliced him in half with his katana.

would dirk to able to separate the sprites because of his ability to move spirits? (like he almost did with aranea)

That may be within his abilities but I don’t see why he would want to.

how Lil Cal can be LE??

Caliborn, Arquiusprite, and half of Gamzee were trapped inside him and then Doc Scratch was created via ectobiology from Lil Cal and a white cue ball. Once Doc Scratch died Lord English emerged from his body as an amalgam of those characters. 

why does trolls ve boobs ? (arena for example)

So, by canon the trolls have gray eyes? (I just looked at the HNM gallery) all trolls there have gray eyes?

They have yellow sclera and grey irises that fill with their blood color as they age. 

Do you think pre retcon vriska will return?

I think she will. She didn’t go through an entire character arc just to be disposed of by post-retcon Vriska.

So my dear mods I'm a but confused about what happened on /005596 now, Jack stabbed John even though John (probably) intended to fight him after the death of his Dad. I'd think that was Heroic myself, looking on the wiki it says "John died in what is clearly the most cowardly death ever." But tbh that sounds like sarcasm to me. So is there any real explanation why that wasn't cause for John perma-death? Or am I looking into it wrong?

John’s death wasn’t heroic because he didn’t take any action, he just readied his weapon. He wasn’t given a chance to die in combat before he was auto-stabbed by Bec Noir. 

Wait, how could DAVESPRITE and NEPETASPRITE Prototype^2 when DAVESPRITE already was prototyped twice?

Nepetasprite had only been prototyped once and Davesprite was her second prototyping. 

what happened to Prospit? was it destroyed? how?

Alpha Jack Noir destroyed part of it on this page

why do you Act like you know Everything?

What was ARquius doing in this last update [7/22] before Davepeta showed up? What was actually coming out of those machines?

What Arquius is doing is explained here.

Do you continue to age after god tiering?

From Hussie’s old tumblr page

Is Cal... Lord English? And how? Or am I missing something. Also, where is god tier Caliborn shown?

I explained how Lil Cal is related to LE here and you can see god tier Caliborn here

what are you going to do with the blog once hs ends

Keep going. Post-finish is prime time to churn out some forgotten facts, and return this blog to its roots.

Is Jade going to fade or die? ;_;

Probably not, if any of the “main” character were to die I don’t think it’d be her.

Whats the first page a Page refences Ellen Paige?

There isn’t. Surprising considering Jake’s love of movies, you woulda thunk Hussie would have used this joke.

Could the hussnasty style serve as a reference/ parallel to earlier in the comic when it appeared? I think there was a panel with Dave and rose standing in a similar place as davepetasprite and jasprosesprite when they were on derse or its moon. Could this be a parallel to that?

It was a pretty direct parallel

When, on the time line did the claymation fight happen? And how will it affect the future fight? (So confused if you just want to give me a summary)

It happens in the future. And the upcoming fights won’t be affected by it. Vriska’s fight with Lord English will though since the Beta Kids will be released from the juju to fight him.

in the 7/22/15 update ?s=6&p=009812 what is happening exactly? is all the grist going to skaia to make the genesis frog? more importantly, why is prospit eclipsed??

Yes, the grist is going to Skaia to provide energy for the Genesis Tadpole to turn into a Genesis Frog. And Prospit isn’t eclipsed, it’s destroyed. Jack English exploded it when he escaped prison. 

You should put your guys' titles in the FAQ because now I'm curious but I swear you've posted the answer somewhere :L

I just did >: ]

To whichever mod answers this (or both) what powers do you think your respective classpects would grant you? c:

I’m a Mage of Time, this would give me a deep understanding of time and how it works. I would use this knowledge to the benefit of others (i.e. in form of explaining the events of paradoxes, time shenanigans, and other temporal mechanics) at the expense of my own time.

Under what circumstances can a god tier die, or are they REALLY immortal?

Doc Scratch:

“ One may be killed by opposing a corrupt adversary and die for a just cause, as through martyrdom, for instance. This would be heroic.
Or one may be subject to corruption, and slain by a hero. This would be just. ”

Didn't someone say that Jade will go Grimbark again when she wakes up?

Possibly. If Jade were to wake up the Condesce would have the ability to control her again.

Why is some parts in homestuck pester chum black

That’s not pesterchum, that’s Trollian. It serves the same basic purpose but can also be used to talk to those in the future or past.

Wait when virska fights LE does that me when the beta kid get out of the juju does that mean there will be 2 sets of beta kids

No, just one. The Beta kids that are going to fight the Condesce and stuff will eventually get sucked into the juju.

I skipped the whole claymation narrated by Caliborn thinking it was just filler content, could you please write a brief abstract pointing out the most important things that happened there?

The Beta kids are trapped in the house Juju

Lil Cal contains the souls of Caliborn, Arquius and Gamzee

Caliborn kicks the Alpha kids’ asses for awhile until Jake surprises him with a big ol’hope field which is when Arquiusprite hold him will Dirk shoves him into Cal

if the scratch only changes where the meteors fall, how come alternia was so different from beforus?

Because Beforus didn’t have Doc Scratch. 

Do Kurloz and Gamzee have a darker natural skin tone than the other trolls? It's hard to tell.

No, that’s just their face paint
