When Bec Noir arrived at the troll's session and forced all the trolls to flee to that meteor, couldn't Tavros have mind controlled him the whole time?

…may-be?

what does dirk mean by his splinters? i totally forgot if he explained it T_T

He means other versions of himself such as his dreamself, Lil Hal, Brobot, Brain Ghost Dirk and if you feel like pushing it, Lil Seb

Hey can you give me facts about heart players. I'm pretty sure it's my aspect but i think I need more info. Thanks!

The Heart aspect is more about Soul than actual hearts or love or stuff like that. 

can you give a link to the paradox space comic you mentioned? the one about vriska killing trolls

It’s from the Paradox Space comic, Secret Sufferer

Since the trolls that didn't go godtier's dreamselves (such as nep kanaynay and mark) got left behind or exploded in the troll's session, the chance that they will go godtier is very slim yes? If they did go godtier, wouldn't it take them three years to get back to where the rest of the group is currently?

All their dreamselves got killed

Do we know much about the rage aspect, besides it being literal rage?

If you guys are really curious about Aspects I would recommend reading the Wiki page on them, it provides canon examples and speculation for aspects that haven’t been clearly defined backed by canon events.

"What weapon did Droog use?" Droog killed Dave twice to my knowledge, both times using a spear with a diamond, 4964 and 5839-5940 are the encounters.

YEss, thank you, I was looking all over for those earlier but couldn’t find them and I assumed I was just remembering it wrong.

HAS ONE OF THE TROLLS EATEN HUMAN FOOD?

Yes

Do the godtier's come back if they die a just death or a heroic death. I'm kind of confused because I saw some inconsistency. Is that because VRISKA/jack broke the grandfather clock?

Just or Heroic mean they stay dead, anything else they come back

when someone's dreamself dies, what happens when they sleep? do they just not have dreams anymore?

They have a Dream Phantom that shows up in the Furthest RIng. If the Dream Phantom died then they just wake up.

how did Aranea know so much about cherubs and how Caliborn's session went?

She had a long time to gather information, I wouldn’t be surprised if she talked to Hussie

If Wings = God-like in troll society, is that how the Summoner was able to gain so much influence

It probably didn’t hurt

Hi! Apologies if you've been asked this already, but are there any fan aspects out there that you really like?

I really like the theory that when the number of players increases the aspects divide and get more specific

Are the events in Paradox Space (The website) canon?

Not really, some of them are, but most of them aren’t

I'm kind of confused as to What happened to the meteor when it went in a bubble. And do you know if it merged with the memories? And how did the riders not get left behind

It didn’t merge with the memories, the Meteor Crew would just pass through the memories.

You can't godtier if you don't have a dream self right? So how did like, dave or rose or Jake godtier? Since they didn't have one.

This information is in the faq, my friend

Paradox Space is meant to be unrelated to canon much in the same way as how, say, elseworlds' stories in the DC Universe are "canon" sometimes, which is to say, by using the pretense of the multiverse as a way of exploring anything from what-if scenarios to silly off-canon skits. It's best to think of them as unrelated to the comic's "real" canon unless stated otherwise.

do you think it's possible homestuck to be adapted to an anime someday? lots of thing would be change such as long ass pesterlogs and stuff but do you think this is actually possible?

I think it’d be an even bigger load of shit than it already is if it was turned into an anime

In the update for 7/8/15, why are all of the mini strife sprites here?

It’s an army man

I don't understand how the post-scratch Jack Noir of the Alpha kids session was able to get the powers of Lord English.

He put Lil Cal’s eyeballs into his head

I love the idea of ARquietasprite^2, but isn't ARquissprite destined to become Lord English?

One of them is, if the Arquiusprite came over the the pre-retcon timeline then there would be two, one for both LE and Arquieta

So is it actually canon or a theory that Dirk watches/reads yaoi? (FYI for those who don't know, yaoi is boy on boy anime/manga)

 For Dirk, no. That’s Caliborn’s thing. He even explained what Yaoi is.

My friend is the Lord of Rage and did some research on the subject and told me that his denizen would be something called the "lost denizen" or something and as the lord of rage he would be able to turn into it? I was wondering just how cannon this is and if you could give me anymore information on the subject, thanks.

That’s sounds pretty made up to me

(Sorry if this has been answered before!) I was wondering where the sacrificial slabs actually are inside Derse? Because in [S] Wake. you can clearly see the perspective camera zoom into the main part of Derse (Then to AA on her slab) after Jack starts blowing it up. But in [S] Cascade. Rose's and Dave's slabs are clearly shown to be within the moon of Derse? Is this just some crazy plot hole we should ignore or is there a logical explanation?

They are normally in the moons of Derse and Prospit. Aradia was just a special case, probably due to her having been dead before she started playing Sgrub

do trolls canonly hav blk lips?

Yes

How did so many ghosts of the same people even come into existence?

Lots of doomed timelines

How did the alpha kids know about trolls and what they look like?

Calliope talked to them about trolls

You said all God tries can fly; isn't this untrue for blood players?

Why? Because the God Tier Karkats and Kankris we’ve seen don’t have wings? The kids don’t have wings and they can still fly.

On the subject of godtier trolls having wings and that not having anything to do with adulthood, what's up with the summoner having wings?

It was a mutation

okay so with the new update (ie 7/8/15) tavros' ghost shows up with the army of other ghosts. i was under the impression that when tavrosprite was prototyped, tavros' ghost was connected to it and a part of tavrosprite?? i could be confusing this with the whole erisolsprite/half-dead sollux scenario, but regardless im kind of confused? so ghost!tavros and tavrosprite are not the same tavros?

The Tavros with the army is pre-retcon Tavros. Tavrosprite is post-retcon Tavros.

Where did the cat that Tavrosprite come from?

Gcat is Post-scratch Earth’s first guardian. It can teleport.

why didnt jasprosesprite^2 prototype with nepeta when she carried her to the kernelsprite?

jasprose is fully prototyped and can’t be prototyped any further unless it’s with another sprite that isn’t fully prototyped

I've got a question about your FAQ. Didn't Lord English GIVE Condy the psychic powers?

No.

Do you know why Nepeta is a sort of lime color?

It’s Jake’s sprite

So the Fight Caliborn describes starting from [S] ACT 6 ACT 6 ACT 5 and onward. that's yet to happen, right? Like, the chronology is, the kids will soon fight the Condesce and the various versions of Jack, then the fight with Caliborn happens in A6A6A5 will happen, and likely homestuck will wrap up with Vriska releasing those stuck in the logo juju to fight buff English. Right?

Yes

Is that why LE is destroying doomed timelines? Because they are a threat to him in the future?

LE is trying to find and kill Calliope’s ghost out in the Furthest Ring because he hates her that much

you always seem to have a page link or image reference when people ask questions. do you have them on hand or do you have to go and find them?

I have a bunch of Caliborn quotes on hand, everything else I have to go find.

in an earlier ask you stated that Kurloz worked for lord english? could you link to where you got that info cause i cant remember that ever beingstated. thanks for all your hard work running this blog!

Kurloz worships the same mirthful messiahs Gamzee does and is seen helping him in his work.

when did sollux talk to humans? was that just in the mass conversation before he and aradia split from the meteor crew?

We’ve never seen a one-on-one with between him and a kid, just in groups like on the meteor and on the pirate ship. But Jade mentions talking to twelve trolls so he must have talked to her at some point

What happened to the weapons for the beta kids (besides the WAR HAMMER OF ZILLYHOO) that came with Liv Tyler?

Liv Tyler lost them as a result of John tornado drilling into the Battlefield

What exactly are first guardians again? As a role, not individuals

First Guardians are entities that exists to protect their planet and “facilitate the planet’s ultimate purpose”.

Can you tell me the page where john sees terezi in jades shoes

Merry frickin Christmas

Are they to decide on said role? Doc scratch kinda messed it all into his own plan

Doc Scratch followed his own agenda while fufilling his first guardian role. He groomed Alternia to be ready for Sgrub and considering they beat it I’d say he did a descent job.

Is there any reason as to why there is a "Not Ghost Eyed"/Alive Eridan in the upd8?

Hussie made 400 pages in a month

If both the alpha and beta versions of earth have separate first guardians, why didn't beforus have one like alternia?

It did, we just don’t know what it was

So HIC controlled the Psiioniic for her ship and The Summoner for Neophyte's dragon. Where did she get the power to control?

She didn’t control the Summoner, he actively fought against her empire. And while she controlled the Psiionic, it wasn’t through psychic abilities, she enslaved him. 

Is it possible for Kanaya to die on Jade's questbed and become godtier? Or is there not enough known to say whether or not it would work?

In order to use a quest bed you need a dreamself, which Kanaya doesn not have

When are the trolls' birthdays mentioned (apart from Karkat)?

They aren’t, Karkat’s is the only one

What were the trolls' lands? I can't keep them straight

Aradia-  Land of Quartz and Melody
Tavros-  Land of Sand and Zephyr
Sollux-  Land of Brains and Fire
Karkat-  Land of Pulse and Haze
Nepeta-  Land of Little Cubes and Tea
Kanaya-  Land of Rays and Frogs
Terezi-  Land of Thought and Flow
Vriska-  Land of Maps and Treasure
Equius-  Land of Caves and Silence
Gamzee-  Land of Tents and Mirth
Eridan-  Land of Wrath and Angels
Feferi-  Land of Dew and Glass

How did jade go godtier if her dreamself died?
