April 2016

im looking forwards to re reading homestuck, but do you think it's worth it to wait till the epilogue is finished to start the jorney all over again?

Man, I’ll tell you guys what. If you want an unofficial epilogue to read before the actual epilogue comes out. You should check out Nightfall. It’s a post-Sburb set fanventure that’s been upd8ing for four years and has over 2000 pages.

How did the kids get to each other's planets? No point in the story in particular to cite, just wondering.

There are “gates” that act as portals between their planet and the other players

I feel so sorry for you Mod T theres so much discord

There’s not as much as there was in 2013, don’t worry

just a more personal question but,how old were you when you were first introduced to homestuck? just curious :D

I was 16

Nightfall kind of suffers from some aggressive shipping. Especially when it comes to John with Rose and Vriska.

Those are two ships I didn’t think anyone still shipped.

Where did the adults stay when they had to move off alternian? Do they/did they stay on ships or another planet? I always assumed they lived on a different planet that was nearby

I would assume both, ships and other planets as they expanded the empire

do you still take submissions??

Yeah, sometimes they get buried under asks tho so if we don’t post it that’s probably why.

wait when was it stated that karkat didnt sleep in their session

So I guess he slept hardly a wink, which is almost nothing

What happened to Caliborn at the end of act 7?

He got his rainbow cue-ball eyes and his immortality 

Wait which Dave was in Davesprite? Was it the one that prototyped Cal with the bird or smth? We going way back in time now

Yes, it’s that Dave

how did kanaya did the frog stuff is she's a sylph and not a witch ?

It’s the Space aspect that does the frog stuff

Did Karkat and Terezi ever kiss in canon? My friend said they did but I honestly don't remember.

They did not.

did the trolls' planets have consorts?

Yes, we never really saw them. We do see some statues of them on Terezi’s planet as well as Tavros’s and Vriska’s

Okay but did Eridan every say the word "Savvy" because if Hussie passed up the chance to shove four Vs in a row I would be very disappointed.

He did actually

Was it said that people have to go grimdark to invert their classpect? Or can any outside forces cause the inversion?

Nope, grimdarkness is not the only thing that can cause inversion. Jade and (Vriska) both act inverse without going grimdark

Do Bec and John share the same birthday?

Yes

why did jane get grounded?

She has been receiving death threats

i'm sure this was probably answered in the comic, but why did the frog -ificate?

So that Jade could use it to create the genesis tadpole 

What exactly is Jack Noir's motivation?

You’ll have to be a bit more specific

why ???? carapicians have tiddy

because who doesn’t love some alien tiddies???

How did Jade get out of her Grimbark state?

She gets ko’ed

can anyone go grimdark or is it just certain classes/aspects

I’d think only Derse dreamers can go grimdark since they have a closer tie to the horrorterrors, but that’s up to speculation

What's your classpect?

Mage of Time

But Jade went grimdark (grimbark) and she's a prospit dreamer?

Grimbark is a joke on grimdark, it is not actually grimdark.

More than Derse players can go grimdark, Jade was prospit.

Jade didn’t go grimdark

Im making a damara ask blog any facts i should know or misconceptions?

I’d recommend checking out the wiki page

When did Dave get his broken disk shirt?

He got it here, when Bro cut it

Was the whole "ectobiology doesn't create mutants" thing Karkat's opinion, or canon fact?

That was obviously Karkat’s opinion since more than one of the trolls is a mutatant

(Vriska) and Jade inverted? What exactly would that make their classpect then?

Jade’s inverse is a Seer of Time which she acted like at the beginning of the comic always knowing when things would happen.

(Vriska)’s inverse is Page of Void which she acted like when she mellowed out and Vriska’s piss attitude towards pages is definitely not part of the reason she was so mean to her.

Who killed tavros???

Vriska

jade went grimdark, they just nicknamed it as grimbark for the dog joke.

If she went grimdark then why could she speak perfect english?

...which trolls (other than karkat and kankri) are mutants?

Sollux, Mituna, Rufioh, Possibly the Serkets (we aren’t sure about the vision eightfold), and maybe Eridan if you subscribe to the theory that his gills are deformed

Jade going grimbark had nothing to do with the horror terrors, which is something that going grimdark requires right? Jade was just being mind controlled by condy.

Right

What theory? About Eridan's gills, I mean =O

There’s an old theory that Eridan’s gills are deformed and don’t work as well as they should and that he wears his scarf to cover them. It would explain why he spends so much time above the water, even having his hive on the surface.

What and how and where and why is even inversion?

You can read the full theory here.  But in short, when a player is overly resistant to their role or if they are corrupted by an outside source then their role will inverse meaning that their aspect and class unofficially shift to their opposites. Light to Void, Space to Time, Witch to Seer*.

*This can change depending on how you classify the classes into Active/Passive partnerships

So like what was the whole "patron troll" thing?

For the kids it’s the troll they interacted with the most prior to Act 6. John-Vriska, Dave-Terezi, Jade-Karkat, Rose-Kanaya

I don't think going Grim dark causes you to lose your ability to speak english. Rose was probably a special case, eridan went grimdark and he could still speak english. Also. Jade never reached godtier. She reached dogtier.

Eridan didn’t go Grimdark, that’s a common misconception 

What happened to Gamzee in the new universe?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Didn't ectobiology also create the mutant cats running around (Prof.) Roxy Lalonde's lab? As I recall, those were all created from Paradox Slime made from Jaspers' template.

Yepper

Wasn't Gamzee thrown into the ocean to wait until it was the time for him to raise the Cali siblings?

That’s what Vriska said the plan was, but we don’t know 5sure

so rose was the only one to go genuinely grimdark? so any speculation we have about it is strictly based off of rose? like, we don't even know if it was JUST something that happened to rose or could happen to anyone?

Yep

Remind me how exactly Sollux and Mituna are mutants?

Their vision twofold

what happened to aranea?

She was punished for her crimes against the meta by irrelavence

this is stupid, but what does vision twofold refer to with the captors, is it their eye colors?

Their eyes and their ability to hear the imminently deceased 

Ok, so to clarify you said that the vision was the mutation, not the psionics?

Right

i was wondering if i could get your opinion on a theory i had: if troll genetic material acts the same as human semen to be put into the mother grub that holds the unfertilized eggs, does that mean if a human female could be fertilized with it to create a human/troll hybrid child without the use of whatever those machines in the ectobiology lab are called? (sorry if i got some facts wrong)

Unlikely since human and trolls are two very different species

sorry if someone already asked this but how is rufioh a mutant?

His wings

Aren't ectobiological human/troll children technically possible?

Yes, I suppose. There was that theory going around for a while that the Cherubs were the ecto-children of Jade and Karkat

i thought sollux and mituna being doom players had to do with them hearing the voices of the damned

That could be the reason for the mutation

Is Vriska and Terezi canon?

As moirails
