Is there a reason why John didn't merge with his kernel sprite in page 002098 when he high fived it? It seems like Hussie just forgot or something...

Because he’s the sprite’s player and he wasn’t doomed or dead

Could you tell me every canon time everyone died? I'm doing a art project and i'm hopefully going to use their blood hues as a marking for a death...

One list of every death coming right up

I'm pretty sure Hussie said it's meant to be based off Terse and something else like Dark, so it should probably rhyme with terse. Just like "echeladder" has a soft sh- sound because it's a portmanteau of "echelon" and "ladder".

Yes that’s true, but ultimately it doesn’t really matter how you pronounce it, we all know what you’re talking about.

is bro the one who wrote the game bro thing on sburb?

Nope

When is it stated that John likes anime? (if he even does) xxx

I’ve answered this before :3

What are all the canon troll signs we know of and what blood colors do they go with? Like, do we know of any other than the 12 main trolls, the two canon fantrolls and the trolls from Hiveswap?

There are some Jade blood symbols shown here

Wait Does kanaya have a crush on Vriska When Kanaya made a dress fur Vriska? Or was that friendship?

Yes, Kanaya had a flush crush on Vriska and that’s why she was upset when she saw Vriska and Tavros kissing. 

Why is johns land the land of wind and shade? How does it fit with his character?

Wind being both his Aspect and associated classical element (air), shade represents darkness to parallel Rose’s Light.

Can two trolls (that aren't ancestor/descendant) have the same sign?

It’d be incredibly rare, but possible. It’d probably be the closest thing to siblings that trolls would get.

Is it possible to ever go grimdark at one point and then later trickster or can you only ever be one?

You can only be one at a time, and you probably couldn’t go from one to the other. They’re kinda parallels so maybe the cure to grimdarkness (aside from death) would be the lollipop juju

What IS a drone? Is it another species besides troll?

They appear to be robots

Sorry but I kinda forgot what the deal with Consorts are, I feel like this is a silly question

They’re pretty much NPCs

How do trolls get their signs? Do they pick them or are they assigned? Does it depend on their lusus?

They’re assigned them in their youth

has the handmaid ever had anything to do with the other ancestors? or has her story always been "separated"?

She would timetravel to instigate events (just like her pre-scratch self) she never directly interacted with the other ancestors, except for Condy. But she probably meddled in their affairs

In a Void session the ring of the White Queen is the ring of life?

No

Did Problem Sleuth take place in any of the sessions we know about in Homestuck?

Problem Sleuth did not take place in the same universe as Homestuck

Was there any specific way to go grimdark other than to act morally wrong? Or did i hit the nail on the head?

Completely wrong actually. Grimdark deals with the power and influences of the Horrorterrors and their Eldritch Magic.

How did the trolls learn to read

They presumably have some means of education called “SCHOOLFED”. The word is used a few times throughout Act 5 in reference to learning.

how did john know that karkat was a boy in the "i am not a homosexual" pesterlog at the beginning of a5a2?

That was one of John’s last conversations he had with Karkat. John had talked to him several times before so he probably picked it up along the way.

how was the vriska that deployed the weapon alive? sorry these alt universes got me hella mixed up.

She flew there

About the Problem Sleuth questions, they might be referring to the Problem Sleuth cameos at the end of the flash "MIDNIGHT CREW: ACT 1031"

That was a story, like Homosuck. So it doesn’t happen in the same universe.

So if a room is called a block, and a bathtub is called an ablution trap, can we call the bathroom an ablution block?

Sounds good enough, but don’t forget, only commoners call them ablution traps

would any ring bring people back to life, or would it have to be specifically from a session with no prototyping. (or am I competent wrong on both assumptions lol)

Only the Ring of Life can bring people back to life and The Ring of Life isn’t from the Alpha kids’ session, it originated with Hussie.

i thought the first thing karkat said pre-hivebent was to jade: back in like act 3, the "HEY, IDIOT. SO TODAY IS THE DAY YOU FUCK EVERYTHING UP" thing?? idk i might be wrong

Oh wait, what I said was the frist thing he said to John.  The real first words to come out of Karkat’s mouth are  CG: HI AGAIN, IDIOT.

homosuck wasn't an alt universe was it? wasn't it just a silly story caliborn made up?

Right, just a story

how do u remember all of this omg

I don’t. I look it up. At any given moment that I’m answering questions I’ll usually have at least two tabs open to mspa and one to the wiki.

this is like the third time ive asked this but i assume you just didnt see it. why aren't there lots of other people in the dream bubbles since there are lots of other sessions going on in the furthest ring?? theyre sburb players as well

The specific stable dreambubbles Fef had them make where only for trolls and friends

But, since there are infinite universes, couldn't homosuck be canon in one of them?

no karkat talked to jade first

And that’s what he said

hello hey, you must be hella tired of these kind of questions and this is not a subject i like either, but, on somewhere around act 5, kanaya sees rose and says "skin as pale as ghost"? doesnt this mean she has a canon race then? sorry im confused D:

No kids have a canon race.

About the dreambubbley thingy, is this also the reason why there are no alpha kids in the bubbles? do they ever wake up there when they go to sleep also? i cant really remember

There are no Alpha kids there because they had no doomed timelines (except GO),but they do dream there. That’s where Jake first met Aranea and BG!Dirk gave him a boner, it was very embarrassing.

is it cannon or fannon that lil cal fucked bro up?

Fanon supported by canon

how exactly do Vriska's dice calculate the final result?

Luck?

Is Dave albino?

His eyes are red. You can interpret him as albino if you’d like. 

Wait, if there's a certain size at which one could captchalogue something, then how did Vriska captchalogue the Earth, and John captchalogue the tumor? Was it just because of the wallet, or was it some god tier thing?

The wallet modus can captchalogue larger objects that other modi cannot.

so go!jane and go!jake are in the dreambubbles as ghosts? and could you source when was it stated that they have no other doomed timelines

Yes, and it wasn’t stated, they just didn’t have anyone with time travel capabilities until the Beta kids showed up to make doomed timelines

Ok so, if WV and PM made it to the new universe, and weren't on the lily pad, that should mean that the others, like Jack and Ms. Paint made it too, right?

Possibly

how's Mod T doing today? and if this is the wrong place to ask, where is the right place? :O

You can head on over to my personal blog

Problem Sleuth wasn't in the Homestuck universe? ...But what about the Midnight Crew? Are the events in PS just not canon then?

The events of Problem Sleuth happen in Problem Sleuth. The Midnight Crew (or at least it’s members) is kind of a Universal Constant

How many times have Jade and Rose interacted in canon? Like in a way that isn't them typing at each other? Also if you provided pics that would be GREAT ;w;

Twice, when Grimbark Jade shows up on the Meteor.

Why specifically was Rose able to soak to the horrorterrors? Why not Dave? Since he was also a Derse dreamer.

He wore his shades so he couldn’t hear their whispers. 

Wait. I thought there were only 48 signs. How would it be rare for two trolls to have the same sign?

There are far more than 48 signs, there are thousands. Trolls have a 48 sign horoscope tho, that’s where that number comes from.

How did the shades prevent Dave from hearing this whispers?

Because he was always distracted

Why is John's planet land of wind and shade like the wind comes from his aspect but why shade?

I answered this like two hours ago

Why does Calliope not take the Caliborn's queen in her game with him?!?!?! She could have easily won!!

After going through their chess game (both parts) I can confidently say, she never had the oppurtunity

whatever happened to ar/the caution tape exile?

He died at the hand of Bec Noir

Do you need time travel/Time heroes to make a doomed timeline? I thought anyone could do it just by screwing up the "path" of action.

The time player needs to go back and stop them from doing that though. If no one goes back and changes it then it’s not a doomed timeline, it’s the alpha timeline where everyone just so happens to be doomed

plot hole related: jack english was created when gamzee sent lil cal to him in prison, so why did he exist post-retcon where gamzee had been in the fridge the whole time?

We can assume that Vriska did it, because Vriska did all of Gamz’s other stuff and has a history of wanting to create villians

wait how did pm get to earth

Skaian Defense Portal, just like the other exiles

wait but wouldn't it be possible to use the lotus pod to go back in time to earth via the reckoning before the session and create/fix a doomed timeline even without a time player? I think it would be.

Possibly, if you could get to the Frog Temple which would be floating out in the Veil
