Terezi’s computer.

forgotten fact about jake?

Jake’s chumhandle golgothasTerror is a reference to the place where Jesus was crucified. 

did rose ever "learn how to play the rain" or whatever? what does that even mean

Rose did not learn how to play the rain. Playing the rain means she’d have to “produce the musical analogue of a genetic code to reintroduce life into the ocean.”

Was it explained why doomed Calliope exists? I know it was some time shenanigan but what screwed up her timeline exactly?

In doomed Calliope’s timeline she and Caliborn had no contact with the alpha kids so she didn’t develop any human-like characteristics like empathy or timidness. Because of this she was able to predominate over Caliborn but in turn doomed the timeline

how can dave create multiple copies of him at once

Time travel. It looks like this:

Nepeta can only wear blue because Equius lets her, right? Does that mean Karkat gave Terezi her glasses, or can higher-bloods wear the colors below them?

Trolls can wear whatever color they want dawg, there ain’t no canon basis for that.

Besides, KK’s blood color was a secret until he met TZ irl, long after she got her wicked shades

What was Dave supposed to do? Play the heat?

It’s unknown what specifically Dave’s planet quest was, but it most likely involved the Caledfwlch in some way.

Did we ever learn what the Sylph outfit looked like? I know that the template exists on the MSPA Wiki but where did we get it from?

It came from here

So wait. Rose was supposed to "play the rain" and reintroduce life into the ocean? Isn't that the exact purpose of Gamzee? Is Gamzee Rose's failsafe if she lost? Is Gamzee rain/a musical genetic analogue?MMMMMM

I’m sorry, how exactly is Gamzee’s purpose to introduce life to the ocean?

I am rereading homestuck to better understand the act 7 ending, which I kind of only half understand. how did the rings bring the tadpole back? and towards the end is jade holding dirk and roxys earth? and then someone uses time travel powers to make it grow trees and stuff? and what's the thing that aradia flies in front of? how does calliope play into all this? could you maybe just explain the whole thing? (sorry :( )

The tadpole was being held by Echidna under the volcano, Kanaya had Echidna release the tadpole into the volcano and the rings made it erupt. In regards to Earth, that’s pretty much what happened. Aradia flies in front of a Black Hole that Calliope created by Collapsing the Green Sun.

Is it ever explained why the Striders can Flashstep and what exactly it is?

Flashsteping is just moving really fast, and the Striders are far from the only characters that can do it

How does Jack Noir encounter his red miles on B1 Earth if he threw them after

Time shenanigans

The ghost army go on a suicide mission to kill (or whatever they do to him) Lord English?

Yes, pretty much

Why Meenah try to kill her "friends"?

So that they could live forever in the dreambubbles instead of being erased by the Scratch

What happened to Caliborn's Session Jack?.

Caliborn had him killed

How was created GCat, I mean who use the BARK code?

Heiress Jane, presumably using the ecto-slime of Jaspers or one of Roxy’s cat clones

Does every session only have jack as a villain?

No, he wasn’t a villain in Caliborn’s or Karkat’s session.  Every session will have a Jack that should help overthrow the Black Queen though.

Could you remind me of some facts about A!Rose (alpha mom)? Or point me in the right direction to read up about her? Thank you!

This is the pesterlog where Dirk talks about all that stuff. Although, be warned, it is a bit on the long side.

How did Rose go grimdark and Jade go grimbark?

Rose became Grimdark by becoming over-flooded by the powers of the Eldritch Gods.

Jade became Grimbark by being corrupted by the Condesce’s influence. 

Would it be safe to assume that each session has the exact same set of carapacians? Or is it just the agents and kings and queens?

Just agents and monarchs. 

what determines who will wake up first as their dream self?

It’s not really predetermined who will wake up first although Space players do have a tendency to be the first. 

Do any of the Homestuck characters have actual canon voices or are their voices completely fan-based?

There are some songs that have voices in them that are meant to be interpreted as a certain character but these aren’t necessarily canon. Answered this here

Why did Aranea completely disappeared after Game Over? Is it about some rules of Life Ring? What about her copies which are gone too?

Explained here

Did the Beforans know of the Signless Sufferer before they died? Or did they learn of the ancestors after death and while trapped in limbo?

The Beforus trolls learned about the Signless after they died as explained by Aranea. 

are dreambubbles in sessions a rare occurrence, considering that a life player has to create them?

I do not think Feferi was able to ask the Horrorterrors to create the dream bubbles because she was a Life player, it was probably because she was a Derse dreamer. They’re the ones who are able to communicate with the Horrorterrors. 

what was the last thing gamzee said that wasn't a honk? Thanks

TeReZi… wHoA. PlEaSe StOp. YoU’rE mOtHeRfUcKiN… hUrTiNg Me. :o(

How did GCAT get to A2 Earth if the alpha kids' session never had a reckoning?

Skaia can still open portals, just like it did for the Meteor Crew

What happen to Caliborn's session Derse?

Nothing

Exist the possibility of the ghost army survive the black hole?.

Yes

The alpha kids are allowed in the Dream Bubbles?

Yes 

Why PM only teleport WV with her, and no AR and WQ, for the energy?

AR and WQ were dead

Are kids in the dream bubbles? Or is it just a troll thing? also, why are the alpha trolls able to be in the dream bubbles after they died if they were created after their deaths?

Kids are allowed, yes. And time works differently in the Furthest Ring.

how did Gamzee not die after being shot so many times if he's not God tier?

Plot armor. He needed to stay alive to become part of LE.

Why do the trolls have nightmares without their recuperacoons? I forget...

It’s never really explained but it’s most likely due to the physic ability of Purple blood trolls, Chucklevoodo

So, the clouds show the future to Jade and John?

And to any one on the Battlefield or occasionally Prospit’s moon

Why does everyone refer to the trolls from Meenah's session as the "alpha" trolls? Since they played first, wouldn't the have had the beta copy and therefore be the "beta" session? Or are we just using the alpha/beta distinction based on order of introduction?

Order of introduction. 

Is there any facts about the Megido trolls?

Damara snapped after Meenah bullied her incessantly and pushed Rufioh and Horuss together, not after Rufioh broke up with her. 

It's also because the "beta" trolls interact with the beta kids, and the "alpha" trolls (to a lesser extent) interact with the alpha kids.

The Alpha trolls actually interacted more with the Beta trolls and kids than they did with the alpha kids. In fact, Aside from Aranea talking to Jake that once, Meenah trying to kill dream Roxy, and Aranea highjacking their session in the GAME OVER Timeline, they really didn’t interact with the Alpha kids.

So, in [S] Collide, they show the battle against LE as a future vision? And when the kids defeat their opponents nothing of that happens and it becomes what we watched on [S] Act 7 with Vriska?

The fight against LE happens at the same time as the fights of the kids.  Act 7 was finished before Collide which is why it looks like they haven’t been fighting with LE at all at the beginning of A7 

Any sadstuck vantas facts (not including signless)

Karkat didn’t wake up on Prospit until after he beat the game and was on the Meteor. And then as soon as he woke up he saw Bec Noir, mistook him for his bro Jack Noir and was murdered.

So, when Caliborn did his whole segment where he depicted the whole battle between him and the beta kids, that was in between [S] Collide and Act 7? Or was that from a doomed timeline?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not a question, but i wanna thank you for posting "Hate you" when you found Meenah's and Condy's voice cause that's my jam!

I’m a fan of Temporal Shenanigans myself

Which jack was in collide was the one that was helping karkat way back when

The robot one

If Gamzee has plot armour to become part of LE, does that mean ARquiussprite does too?

Yep

Is it possible that the destruction of the Prospit and Derse could be a constant in null sessions? Since they blew up in both b1 and b2 sessions. And once the trolls' session went null, they were destroyed. But I don't think they did in Caliborn's session, and he "won" his game.

Derse wasn’t destroyed in the B1 session.

Hey, when the GREEN SUN was destroyed, we see the kids back in their normal clothes. Did they lose their god tier powers? Are they still immortal? (I think about this too much, I have no idea for I am not as wise as you)

No and no (presumably). They can change clothes freely as seen with Vriska, Meenah, and Aranea

What is the appeal of karkat. He is a shouty angst child

You answered your own question.

little known/ignored fact about dirk?

The reason his symbol is a hat is because he really likes hats but wearing one would mess up his hair

when was nepeta's title ever mentioned? is rogue of heart a fanon thing, orrrr...?

BAMN

Who write the guide that Rose read at the beginning of the game?

Other kids that died
