so the limeblooded trolls are all extinct. why?

UU: details of the genocide are historically mUrky. it’s one of those maddening voids in my Understanding of yoUr elaborate epic.
UU: bUt i have specUlated their extermination had to do with the extremely powerfUl abilities they tended to have, and the threat to aUthority they represented. even more so than other powerfUl lowbloods.

you probs get this question a lot but what is the difference between a heroic and a just death for a god tier?

“ 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.”

What was the last page to be posted before the gigapause began?

This one

do you want the remaining trolls to go god tier?

No, not really. I don’t their character developments would benefit from it and it wouldn’t make sense for them to at this point from a narrative standpoint 

A lot of people are saying vriska should've had tavros mind control gcat instead of ruining his life once again but could tavros have even been able to control a first guardian? Is there any kind of precedent for it?

Gcat is an animal, Tavros can control animals. Plus he controlled Bec from a different universe so he would have no problem controlling Gcat.

What's the easiest way to describe the quadrants?

Why did jade merge with her sprite when she went god teir?

Because Jadesprite was prototyped with her dreamself which the player turns into when they die on their Quest Bed

When did Karkat die?

Here, Here, Here, and Here

I want to point out that at no point does it say prototyping two sprites creates a black hole, it was just fanon that that was how Caliborn's situation happened before it was explained. When Hussie explained it in the comic, he stated that the game's nature changed and caused the kernelsprite to collapse, not that Calliope and Caliborn's sprites prototyped each other. (I searched "black hole" into the Act 6 search to find this)

Yes it’s fanon, but Caliborn’s sprite was flashing his and Calliope’s colors much like Jasprose does with Rose and Roxy’s colors. Plus prototyping two empty kernels with each other is essentially dividing by zero which theoretically creates a black hole so it just makes sense. But you’re right, it’s entirely not canon.

since tavros can control /all/ animals, does that mean he can potentially control the entire universe. since it's technically a frog. and frogs are animals.

That. Is an interesting question. I’m going to say no such because Genesis Frogs are so large.

it's also possible that even if tavros could control the genesis frog it wouldn't do anything. that'd be like a germ commanding your stomach to produce different enzymes. like "okay, that's nice, i can't really control that consciously". there really isn't any evidence to show that the genesis frog can control all of the aspects of the universes within it, only that it houses them.

fhsf mods confirmed for hussie. not a specific mod, but all of them. combined together like the mega-gnome from gravity falls

Hussie confirmed to be two tumblr users in a trench coat.

I keep hearing that there was a mention of bulges but I don't think I ever noticed it?? Did any of the trolls or anyone mention bulges? Sorry ask about nsfw stuff

Bulges are mentioned a few times in canon. Although we aren’t really sure exactly what they are, could be a tentacle, could be a genital, could be a extra hand growing from their loins, we just don’t know.

when was the last time tavros' ghost was seen before this most recent update?

Here, when he flew into the air flipping (Vriska) off

Which human did Feferi talk to??

She talked to Jade, just after [S] Jade: Wake Up

Was there ever any implication that Tavros, the Summoner, or even any troll of their blood colour could talk to Gl'bgolyb using their psychic abilities?

It’s never been mentioned

so is this new tavros we see in the update like the ORIGINAL tavros??? from the main session we watched before the retcon and such?

Yep, the original Pre-Retcon Tavros, that’s him

Regarding today's update, there were no dead versions of Gamzee, Kurloz, Damara, Aranea, Aradia, or Vriska shown at all. And the main version of Meenah is the only one shown.

There are Aradia’s in there. As for Gamzee and Meenah, do to Gamzee not being able to die (Plot Armor) and Meenah having a really long lifespand, they both continue living in doomed sessions until the sessions fade out and cease to exist, that’s why there aren’t any of their ghosts around.  Kurloz and Damara are in service of Lord English and wouldn’t actively participate in a rally against him. And as for Aranea, she just sucks.

Hey, sorry could you tag your Upd8 related asks? :0 I haven't read it yet

God Dammit, I can remember every tiny detail of homestuck but I can never remember to tag upd8 spoilers, ugh. Sorry, yes I can do that.

is the portal we see in the recent update supposed to summon the so-called weapon or is IT the weapon?

What portal? There was no portal in the upd8

There are only Aradiabots, not Aradias

Aradiabots are Aradia, there’s only one Aradia that’s not an Aradiabot and she’s still alive

Wait how old is the alive vriska [i know shes seven sweeps but what does that make her in human age]

16

Are you proud of Tavros in the upd8??

Yeah man, it’s good to see him finally taking up his role as Page of Breath.

I think the portal guy ask is talking about the compasses in the sky of the land of maps and treasure

In that case, it is not a portal, that is just how the sky looks

Which human did Fieri talk to??

ALL OF THEM

Is the reason Sollux talked with a lisp that he had 2x as many teeth as normal, which is why his lisp went away when he fell down the stairs and got them knocked out?

Probably, having messed up teeth can cause a lii2p

Wait how can pre-retcon tavros fly? He wasn't god tier was he?

He’s a ghost

in your opinion, what do you think nepetasprite will be prototyped with? you don't have to answer, i just wanted to know your opinion ^_^

I think arquietasprite^2 would be amazing, but naw she’s probably not gonna get prototyped with another character, maybe one of Roxy’s wizard dolls or something.

Isn't there technically two Aradias now with the retcon shit that happened?

Maybe? We aren’t sure how the Retcon affect the people that were still alive.

Where did we learn that ghosts can fly?

Tavros flew away, then Nepeta and Feferi flew away

is it possible to see every outfit Kanaya has ever worn

You can see them all on her Wiki page

Can all God Tiers fly? -such as Roxy

Yes

why do troll godtiers have wings?

Because Trolls are an insectoid race 

so could trolls get wings without becoming godtier?

Through mutation like Rufioh

So, there are three Eridans with black eyes rather than white. They're all behind Solluxes with Feferi's goggles on.... Do you think those correlate?

No, I think Hussie just did some copy pasting

Why didn't god teir Callie get wings when she predominated? Did she cheat like her brother did in the apha timeline?

Yes, she predominated early and unnaturally so she never matured and got her wings

Is it true that there was thirteen trolls before the game but Vriska ended up killing them?

According to a Paraodx Space comic, yes, but those aren’t entirely canon.

Is (Vriska) the same one that dated ohn? Also, could you please link me to the page where the Caliborn Claymation beings? Thanks! <3

Yes and here

What do you mean "finally taking up his role as Page of Breath"? What does that entail?

A Page of Breath is a natural leader. A Page creates or provides others with their aspect (the latter in this instance) and Breath can be inferred as meaning Direction. So a Page of Breath provides people with Direction. Allowing him to lead an army to a specific goal very easily. Pages also take a long time to actually embrace their role and this Tavros (or (Tavros) as he’ll probably be refereed) has had a lot of character development and time to work towards his role.

Where does it say Guy Fieri is the antichrist

Yo

Are cherub genders defined by their blood color? Like do all female cherubs have green blood and all males have red?

Nope, the blood color is related to their moral alignment. Lime for Benevolent and Red for Malicious.  If the Father lays the egg then the offspring’s alignment will match the parent of the same gender and if the Mother lays the egg the offspring’s alignment will be the opposite.

Is Amporacest canon? If so, when did it become canon?

In [S] Ministrife, a Cronus and Eridan agree to go on a date

Opinion on HomestuckSexCanons?

Not my thing but whatever floats your boat kid

What does the maid class do? I've never been clear on that.

It’s not been explained in canon but through speculation the Maid class could be one that “provides itself with its aspect” or  “someone who protects themselves and/or others with [aspect],”

Is the interpretation of a Page as one who creates or provides their aspect canon or fanon?

It’s hinted at in canon but never directly stated

How is it that Calliope and Caliborn have different blood colors, but they're in the same body?

There’re a alien

When did they explain "Nooks" and " Bulges"?

They were never explained, just mentioned

Is there a reason that the retcon didn't effect the dead characters even if they would have still been alive because of it? Like for example: Vriska.

Because if they didn’t exist there would be some open paradoxes and that’s not good

CG: WHEN DID DAVE CALL JANE HOT?

Here, Here, and Here

Where were nooks and bulges mentioned then?

Several times throghout the comic. Here one for Nook and here’s an example for Bulge
