Are there always going to be exiles in a session?
Only in sessions that have a Reckoning. The Alpha kids, and Caliborn: No Reckoning, No exiles.
Why do i hear people say "i pity you" as a term of endearment where did it originate what does it mean?
I have no idea my dude, never heard anyone use it like that.
@the "I pity you" Anon, I think it started because when Karkat was explaining how troll romance works, he said that any positive affections were mostly based off of pity. I guess people took it and ran with it?
CG: PITY IS OF COURSE JUST THE TONED DOWN VERSION OF THE CENTRAL EMOTION, HATE.
CG: AND ALL THE NUANCES OF PITY MANIFEST AS VARIOUS OTHER KINDS OF FEELINGS LIKE WHATEVER CHEMICAL REACTIONS TRIGGER MATING FONDESS OR THE MYSTERIOUS FORCES THAT ARE BEHIND MOIRALLEGIANCE.
Can you defeat an imperial drone? like fight it off so you dont die?
I mean, I guess, but then you’d probably be a fugitive and end up being persecuted by a legislacerator which would also end with you dying so there’s really no winning
May I ask about the shrek and eridan meme, because I somehow missed that completely but it sounds incredible
Well it’s a very old meme, from even before my time in the fandom, here’s a explaination post
What? :o Ive read the whole story thinking they were 16 earh years (different anon) so 13 year old kanaya sliced 13 year old eridan and a 13 year old vriska pushed a 13 year old tavros off a cliff and all that stuff????? Gosh
Yep. They’re 16 at the end of the story though.
What happened to Gcatavrosprite?
They sleepin’ shhhhhhhhhh
yo, can you please explain Vriska's jacket? I know it's some sort of timeloop stuff like the Crosbytop but I can NOT remember how it happened.
It’s really not. She has a pirate coat and then she puts it on the ground and Kurloz takes it. That’s the whole story.
Why does Gamzee's chronology make no sense?
It makes perfect sense. He goes through the timeline normally then he either gets dumped in Earth’s ocean and waits millennial or is sucked into the Black Hole that Lord Jack’s head imploded into. Either way he ends up way in the future on Earth where he sets up the Cali twins’ living quarters. Then he enters with Caliborn and just chills with him.
Pre-retcon Gamzee did jump forward in timeline to create the Alpha kids’ sprites and enjoy some Trickster revelry though.
How did Gamzee get the War hammer of Zillyhoo?
Unknown
Forgotten fact about rose or sollux?
Rose blew up Eridan’s computer when he tried to flirt with her
I found a typo on page John: Equip fake arms. Copacetic is spelled "copasetic."
It’s just a rare alternate spelling my dude
Is it possible to be someone's moirail and matesprit at the same time?
Not the same person, no. You can have a moirail and a matesprite at the same time but they have to be with different people.
uh does the white/black blooded troll exist?
No
About the whole Matesprite/Moirail being the same person, wasn't Diciple Signless' Matesprite/Moirail/Kismisis/Auspacuce all rolled into one? I'm not sure if I read this somewhere, is something. I don't know.
The Signless and the Disciple weren’t in a quadrant. Their love transcended the quadrants.
how do i even get started in homestuck
Push through Act 1. It’s really tough to get through the first read through but it’ll pick up p. quick after that
idk if this matters in any way but i saw someone else ask about a typo and it reminded me -on this page: / scratch. php ?s=6&p= 005837 dave says 'TG: it like the tight end was going long down the yard in sudden death'. im assuming this is just a standard typo and nothing to read into but if that is the case im wondering whether hussie is known to have made many typos or ever corrects them if so?
On the other hand, this is Dave Strider, the dude that authored Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff, the bro that wrote “ahlly yoop for the SLAM-DUNK”
hey sorry if im silly but didnt rose give john her strife specibus needlekind to initiate the scratch? hence why she was unarmed when travelling to 'blow up the green sun', and thats why dave had to kill DD. does she get it back at any point, or does she transcend needing it upon god tiering, or.. am i just mistaken?
She didn’t exactly give it to John, John kinda took it off her corpse. But she probably got high enough level that she didn’t need a specibus to use a weapon.
On that note, you can be someone's matesprit and kismesis at "the same time" by flipping between the two. I doubt having both like that would appeal to the bucket drones though.
Technically, you’re not the persons matesprit and kismesis at the same time. Quadrant Vacillation is constantly switching between the two, not being both at once.
I know people celebrate 4/13 as like the official homestuck day, right? Do people also celebrate 6/12 and 10/25 or are those days unimportant?
People do celebrate them, just not as many and in smaller ways
I know 6/12 is Karkat's birthday, but what's 10/25?
[S] Cascade. It’s also 413+612
why did hussie delete all his accounts?
My best guess would be it was overwhelming. Or he wanted his privacy, I know he used to not like having pictures of him circulating the fandom. But I dunno
why did jade know all that stuff in the beginning? like that johns package was in his car and all the stuff about sburb? i know she could wake up as her dream self for a while but i dont see how she would be able to gather the kind of information she knew from just being able to fly around prospit
The Clouds of Skaia show glimpses of the future. They are visible from Prospit’s moon on occasion.
So John, Jade and Davesprite were on the Prospit ship for 3 years, right? But John started the game 13 yrs old and ended 16 yrs old. What's going on, time shenanigans?
John was 13 when he started, and then spent 3 years travelling so that, 14, 15, 16. And then the story ended.
Do they say the birthdays for all the kids besides John's?
Egbert/Crocker: 4/13
Harley/English: 12/1
Strider: 12/3
Lalonde: 12/4
I thought Jane's birthday was on 11/11? Or was that just the SBurb release?
That was just Sburb Alpha’s release
Since pm got both rings, does that make her twice as possible?
I mean she threw them into a volcano so no
I hate that you keep saying that shit, "push thru act 1", not everybody found it bad, but your fucking attitude makes new people believe it's gonna be shit, why hating on act 1, when someone says "ugh act 1 is so bad does it even worth it", then your answer might be correct, otherwise stop being such an idiot about it, let the experience be untainted jackass
Dude, I’m not hating on Act 1, I enjoy Act 1, I do, I just didn’t the first time I read it.
The first time I tried reading Homestuck I gave up before Act 1 was over because I found it confusing and uninteresting. I’m not saying Act 1 was bad or that you should skip it, I’m saying that if you find it boring, don’t stop, keep reading, that’s not what the whole story is like. Reading Act 1 again after finishing Homestuck when it made sense and I understood all the coding jargon and sylladexes and shit, A+, really good.
In conclusion, Act 1 is just a tough read, that’s all I was saying my dude.
how do they get internet in paradox space?
Paradox Space is made of internetz
do you think that trickster trolls would have (peachy) skin like the kids? is there any proof regarding what they might look like?
There’s no canon hints toward what trickster trolls would look like, but I enjoy the headcanon that their skin would be a pastel variant of their blood color
Does the WRATHTUB have any connection to the bathtub Rose took?
Nope, just the same base image
Do we know what sburb stands for? Or at least have a guess?
In-story it doesn’t stand for anything.
Meta-wise it’s a play on Suburb
Why did the Summoner kill Mindfang? I thought THEY were on the same side
The details of Mindfang’s death were never revealed in-comic so all we know is that he killed her. In the fan animation After Us by toastyhat Mindfang controls the Summoner to kill her to put her out of her misery when she was injured and dying. That’s one way to explain her death. We just don’t have enough information in-canon.
If the body calliope and caliborn shared was killed, what would happen?
If they’re dream selves were still alive then they most likely would retreat into those bodies.
Do trolls skin turn black when they become adults, or is that just how Hussie drew them? (Also, do you mind listing all possible blood colors for trolls? You don't have to if you don't want to, but it'd be like a refresher for those who don't remember.)
The black forms for the adult trolls is just a stylistic approach, just like the human guardians don’t have all of their face’s depicted. Also, all the troll blood colors have been revealed in-canon.
Why are some big unanswered questions from Homestuck?
Here are some unsolved plot strings. We also don’t know the full timeline of the Warhammer of Zillyhoo, who sendificated the last frog, or who put the weapons in the Lotus Flower Time Capsule. Those are just the ones off the top of my head.
How come Jade didn't use her first guardian powers to warp the Prospitian Battleship and the Meteor into the Alpha Kid's session?
Jade explains here.
About the plot holes Isn't Gamzee, the same Gamzee that was in the fridge, the same that lands with Caliborn then fuses with him (and many others) to make LE or Am I wrong?
Already answered.
how come the strilondes have the same last names in alpha and beta but john jade jane and jake all have different last names?
Because Grandpa and Grandma choose their own last names. Poppop kept his and Nanna’s changed when she got married.
i'm not sure if it's just my computer but have you seen that on page /?s=6&p=002042 in the lower of the two images john's slime monster logo is blue instead of green?
Yes
Why did the lusus of the posts-scratch trolls lived in jakes island??? (Pre-Sburb)
Those were not the post-scratch trolls’ specific lususes. Just lusii of the same breed. And they were there because Condy was breeding them to use on humans
why did the trolls want to troll the kids?
Oh, because Karkat wanted to “SERVE A FEW DOUCHE BAGS A PIPING HOT NUTRITION PLATEAU FULL OF FUCK YOU”
So wait, if those with First Guardian powers cannot travel using the Green Sun outside of their session as Jade said 'Bec could travel anywhere in our universe but not to other universes', how did Jack get to the troll session? Did he use the Furthest Ring?
He used a universe teleporter seen in WV’s pod/station/thingy
(/?s=6&p=005356) did gamzee purposefully scratch his face w/ nepeta's claws?
Looks like it
hey since davesprite somehow survived in the retconned timeline, do you think maybe john in that timeline did too? or am I missing something
Davesprite didn’t survive in the retconed timeline, Pre-retcon Davesprite came over with John and Roxy on LoWaS
If a cherub was killed and then kissed with both dream selves alive, what would happen?
Both dreamselves would wake presumably
what about His Honorable Tyranny? he has black blood
He’s not a troll
I forgot, why is gamzee trapped in a freezer?
So he doesn’t kill anyone, or instigate any shit
So everything after Terezi killed Vriska is no longer canon for the end game Non John or Roxy characters? Kinda seems like a really lame cop out of removing interesting plot and chars for a super over gay fan fic tbh. Where was davekat b4 then even?
I’ve addressed the Davekat thing before
But if you didn’t like the retcon and think it’s a cop out then that’s fine, I disagree but you’re free to think so.
i wonder what happens to the gender of a person when they become fused into a sprite,davepeta always makes my head hurt when i try to think of it
Davepeta and Jasprose discuss that very topic here
