Why did Spades Slick have to die?

But I have a theory as to what that reason might be

I would say according to what you are holding while getting prototyped it could count as one. For example Dave prototyped a bird who was impaled by sword. Jack could use that sword later to attack people. So if you are holding a weapon while prototyping yourself the weapon would probably get prototyped too, but wouldnt count as an extra prototyping.

Ms Paint is the main character and actual most important person in homestuck. The website isn't called "Ms Paint Adventures" for no reason ;)

Her entire character is based on a joke

We're the kids 'chosen' to win the game? Did any of the other kids who wrote the guides ever even have a chance of winning?

Well the other kids most likely died before entering so no, they didn’t really have a chance

Can Grubtube be pronounced "Groobtube"

Pronounce it how you like kid

Hi! Do you know what would happen if one were to prototype a chess board?

Chessboardsprite

Sorry idk if this is about a fact but I'm just really curious bc you guys are very knowledgeable about hs so Do you have theories about Mituna's (maybe slightly fanon) disability? Or was it mentioned somewhere in hs

Mituna’s disability is canon not fanon. His brain damage was caused from the mysterious incident that also exhausted his psionics. He also has mood swings similar to Sollux, alternating between a crude, abrasive personality and a meek, passive one. 

did the dancestors ever communicate w/ an alien species, like how the humans and the descendants did?

Not from what we’ve read. 

Have the pre scratch trolls talked to the humans?

We’ve seen Meenah, Aranea, and Damara talk to the humans. There were probably more interactions in the dream bubbles as depicted in the Vriskagram flash. 

Is HIC ancestor Meenah or ancestor Feferi?

HIC is post-scratch Meenah. That’s why she talks like Meenah and generally has the same personality. 

Hello, you mentioned that Damara talked to the kids. When though? I'm sure I missed that and now I'm curious. quq

In the third Openbound flash after you unlock the meteor as Meenah you can go Be Damara and walk through the meteor as her and talk to Rose and Dave.

So if a person named "Cat" prototyped their dreamself and a cat, what would happen?

why does ms paint (aka best character in homestuck) have tiddys

This has been answered before

But the more important question. If a person named cat prototyped their dreamself with a dog?

What are the chances that John and all weren't the only session from Earth? Or that Karkat's gang wasn't the only Alternian session?

Karkat’s group was the only one from Alternia but John’s group wasn’t the only from Earth

Who said the first piece of verbal dialogue? (as in not through a chat log or narration)

That would be John

how much fucking hair does the condesce have on a scale from 1-10

Well, I mean if the Condesce’s hair is a 10, then your average person has 0.5

Why does Aradia like ghosts?

She can hear their voices, probably got a few ghost friends

How jake got godtiered, was jake's dreamself alive?

Sacrificial Slab

Didn't the A1 session win the first time? So why'd they start contacting the kids? I remember Karkat saying something about creating Jack. Did he want to help?

A1 session was Meenah, and they lost. A2 trolls won but Bec Noir showed up and cut the door in half before they could enter the universe they created. And yeah, they kinda wanted to help mostly to try to get them not to make Bec Noir or to find a way everyone could get out alive

So why do some godtiered characters have wings? What do you do to get them or does it depend on the classpect?

It depends on your species

how do we know that karkat's group was the only one from alternia?

Because Sollux programmed the game

The alpha kids didn't have a battle field they had to use the beta kids battle field, if the alpha kids still had dreamselves and died on their quest beds would the have appeared on that battle field when jade put it in the middle of skaia?

No, because there would be no corresponding Battlefield Quest Bed for them to wake up on

Did the alpha kids even have quest beds? I vaguely remember something about them "only having one option"

They had planet quest beds, but no dreamselves to use them

how did john and jade escape the scratch?

They went through the fourth wall

did the sweet juju/trickster mode cause the deaths of the alpha kids and there for their god tiering?

No, they got blasted by Condy and Jack English while they were sitting on their slabs

I'm I right in saying the Medium is the space between universes? And that's the reason the trolls could reach the green sun from there?

The Furthest Ring is the space between Incipispheres which the Medium is apart of. All sessions take place in the same dimension.

How does someone snap out of Trickster Mode or Grimdark?

Grimdark is unknown, but Trickster seems to just wear off after awhile.

Trickster wore off? I thought Hussie put a stop to it because it was a shitty experience.

What happened to Casey?

She fought alongside Jake with her skeleton army. We don’t know after that

Is the Mayor really wearing John's ghost bedsheets and NO ONE caught it?

A lot of consorts and such were wearing John’s bedsheets, they were considered sacred robes

What was Grimdarkness meant to so anyway? Scratch said Roses Magic was actually the will of the horror terrors, and she went grimdark under their influence, but she was still mostly the same, and in control. Was it essentially a power-up?

Basically, just more than she could handle which is why she was talking in tongues

My english is not very bad, I used Google Translator: If the Scratch does Skaia exchange portals of Reckoning, and Karkat who made Ectobiology experiments, such as the Pre-Scratch Trolls activated Scratch if they not did ectobiology experiment? Or did they?

They did not. Part of the reason they needed to Scratch was because they hadn’t made themselves.  In other word: They needed to scratch in order for them to be born

what days do you guys post submissions? :)

They are in a Queue, one posted everyday at 7pm (CDT)

Is it canon or fanon that Dave's full name is David Elizabeth Strider?

fanon

Is the Jade that makes trollsona's with Calliope and Jane in the vortex dreambubble from the doomed timeline (in which Davesprite and John die on LOWAS during their trip on the Prospitian ship)? Or is that Jade from the GAME OVER timeline and just hasn't realized she's dead yet?

The Jade from the timeline where Davesprite and John died (not a doomed timeline btw)

The beforus trolls have been dead for eons, watching their post- scratch selve's lives unfold. But Meenah acts like she only just died. When she first meets john in the dreambubbles, she asks him if they're in the afterlife and Aranea had to fill her in about her alternate self. Why is that?

Because she just got there

How is it that the Condesce could be present on both the alpha kids' earth and in their session? After she killed the handmaid did she travel to their universe or session? I would guess their universe, but then how could she get to the medium, especially before all the kids do? I cant think of any ways to enter the medium AND go back in time, and she doesnt seem to have her own time powers. Are there maybe two condesces, with the one in the medium being from the beta kids' earth?

There are teleporters to Prospit and Derse in the Frog Temple on Jake’s island which Condy had access to

how old are the alpha and beta kids when the webcomic ended?

16

I think this was asked before, but do all Tyrian (Fuchsia) blooded trolls have Gl'yb-THE SQUID THING as their lusus? It drives me crazy whenever I see a fuchsia blooded troll with a freaking narwhal.

Yes, all Fuschia bloods have Glubglub as a lusus.

Not all fuchsia bloods had the Gl'bgolyb. She was created by by Doc Scratch. so they would have had another lusus on Beforus

I should have specified, all Fuchsia bloods on Alternia had Glubglub as a lusus.

What timeline is Jane from in the trollsona dreambubble with Calliope and Jade? Is grimbark Jade from the dead Davesprite and John timeline? How is that not a doomed timeline, I thought the real one had all of them getting off at the other end and Jade going grimbark? Please help I'm way too confused by this -_-

From the Post-retcon timeline. Grimbark Jade was in both timelines.

The Space Players can teleport?.

No, that’s a first guardian ability

Can you find a pesterlog or page or flash or something funny to convince my friend to read Homestuck?

Are the Captor's eyes red and blue because of their psionics or because of their twofold vision?

Psionics

Is feferis lusus a horrorterror?

No, it’s the emissary to the horrorterrors but not one itself

If psionic abilities are caste locked why would Vriska phrase this the way she did: "she has a mix of telepathic a8ilities too, like mine, plus the animal communion kind more typical of 8rown 8loods." if brown bloods are the only ones capable of communing, why use the word typical?

All trolls have the genetic potential for all psychic abilities (see the Condesce) but the abilities do not naturally surface outside the castes they are associated with.

Do we know what age pupatation happens?

Young, not long after they are hatched.

In my AU with my partner one of my characters is a Knight of Space. Due to the two pieces would that player be working the frog by himself or would there be a class down the line to help them? If now, oh boy...

It was never stated that Knights have to help with frog breeding, as far as we know i’s just a coincidence that that happened in the two sessions we observed.

is go!jane and go!jake in the dream bubbles? why not if theyre not?

They are
