In reference to Rose's age, if she's a few months older than John, and it takes place sometime after John is 17, would it be a reasonable assumption to say Rose waited until she was human 18 to get married?

It’s very possible to assume that

YOOOOO WHAT IF THE FIRST BLOOD A RAINBOWDRINKER DRINKS GIVES THEM THE LONGEVITY OF THAT BLOOD CASTE, SO KANAYA COULD LIVE INDEFINITELY WITH ROSE FOREVER

Good theory, for those of you that don’t recall the first blood Kanaya drank upon conversion was Feferi’s.

I'm sure there's one panel at least where vriska has blue shoes? I remember them at bright blue... are they not?

Vriska has never had blue shoes in any of her outfits. They’ve always been red or red-orange

Wait couldn't Vriska steal all the luck again and then just follow Kanaya around and jump in the way of everything so that it miraculously misses her and doesn't hit Kanaya?

Vriska’s not around though

What's an egbert

IF TEREZI FINDS VRISKA AND THEN JUST ATTACHES KANAYA TO HER BACK

You really Vriska would go for that though?

If the kids still have their powers, would they still be immortal?

Yes

for the thing with vriska having blue shoes. its possible you guys are remembering another light player who had blue shoes...

Yeah, like I said, both of the other light players have blue shoes

About Jane making Kanaya immortal, even if she could make someone immortal, it wouldn't work with Kanaya. When Jane was Crockertier, she said that using life powers on the undead kills them again.

Which was a bluff because we see Jane revive Kanaya in Collide

Is karkat immortal like the others?

no

if the God tier kids got sick and died, wouldn't their acts through their lifetimes make them by default heroic and off them permanently?

Nope. The way they die has to be heroic. Previous actions don’t factor in at all.

I've been out of Homestuck for a few years because all of the pauses and whatnot. I've forgotten a great deal but want to finish it so is it worth rereading and finishing?

Yeah man, reread that shit at your leisure, it’s better the second time

Excluding the Sufferer and Karkat, could any candy-red-blooded trolls have existed prior to SGRUB? or perhaps could they exist in a world like Hiveswap's? Also, if you have any knowledge on the matter, when does Hiveswap occur in canon? or is it its own separate canon?

Hiveswap occurs in the 90′s of B1 (john’s) Earth, I was to say 1994 more specifically but I’m not sure.  And the Alternian portion happens a significantly long time before Hivebent.   As for the candy bloods, it’s not entirely impossible that there were more.

if all of the juggalos are invincible, why did kurloz die from the bomb that killed the dancestors?

He’s a Mime, the lowest form of Clown. Therefore he only gets some of the Clown benefits, like being really creepy

So the Dad in the upd8 is Jane's Dad and not John's, right?

Yes

Is Dave's SBAHJifier similar to Lil' Hal in a sense but is eternally trapped in a camera and can only communicate through SBAHJ comics?

the SBAHJifier is not a sentient object, it has no personality, it’s essentially a shitpost generator, not like Lil Hal at all.

through dave's time travel power, could the non-godteirs live forever?

No. He can’t stop them from aging or travel their bodies back into their younger versions

Kanaya would have to feed on troll blood, and it'd probably have to be from one who's higher than her on the hemospectrum, most likely Terezi because she'd be the most willing, Vriska might let her but she'd probably charge her for it because she's like that

Okay but she’s also revered as a God by the Troll Kingdom, I feel like she wouldn’t have a problem opening a blood bank

Why do some sptites have legs and others dont?

Sprite^2 had legs because they’r better than you

jane did the lifey thing when jack stabbed her. why couldn't feferi do the same?

Feferi got cut in half, that a bit different

fuck you. let people have happy headcanons about things that are not confirmed. let people believe their favorite characters survived. stop telling people to stop having fun

Okay, you can have your happy headcanons, that’s fine, I’m not saying you can’t do that. But when you ask me if X character is alive, I’m not going to say yes if they aren’t. I’m using facts and narrative themes/trends to answer. We don’t know if X character is alive, but given the amount of death in this comic coupled with the fact they were standing infront of a fucking Black Hole, it seems unlikely that they survived.

I have not said any character that was out in the Furthest Ring when it imploded is dead. I say it’s unknown, I say it’s unlikely that they’re alive. But I never give a definitive “no, they’re dead” because I don’t know, alright. 

Karkat’s not immortal, he’s not, he’s gonna die someday. So is Terezi.

All the evidence points towards Caliborn’s masterpiece happening, which mean the Beta kids being trapped in that House Juju, it’s gonna happen. The Alpha kids being stranded on desolate far-future Earth, it’s gonna happen.

Like I get that you want your headcanon, and you can have them, please do. But when you ask me a question, don’t expect me to answer with bias. My answers are based off canon, and if that’s not what you want, don’t talk to me.

So vriska is dead?

It’s likely, but Terezi hasn’t given up hope so neither should you

Do you think people are gonna blame john for getting everyone stuck in the juju if that does turn out to be where the timeline is headed?

Probably. It seems like he’ll be the one to rally the troops.

Is it possible that Jane and Dave could do a feitmotif to make people younger?

It’s in the realm of possibilities. We don’t know any of their fraymotifs

If theyre trapped in the house juju I guess you could say theyre all HOMESTUCK

That’s the joke 

How many followers do you have?

over 52,000

Though they get trapped in the Juju later, doesn't Vriska inevitably let them out to fight Lord English when he's at full power? People are talking about them being trapped in there forever, but it's already been established Vriska gets Lord English's juju and uses it against him in Act 7...

But we don’t know if the juju releases them. How it is used against English is unknown

Feferi didn't get cut in half, she was shot through the chest by eridan with his wand. She couldn't do the lifey thing because she was way too emotionally overwhelmed by everything to do anything, Jane's dream self was able to bring herself back to life because she wasn't experiencing any complex or intense emotions

Her dreamself was cut in half before her mainself got blasted 

Isn't Calliope's thing a White Hole, though? Even if it /isn't/, it certainly isn't a "black hole," by any means, unless Hussie forgot how to both physics and google search.

I mean, if you google “black hole eating star” most images match what was shown in Act 7. Likewise the singularity Alt Calliope created was most definitely pulling matter in which Black Holes tend to do. White Holes release energy.

I thought the reason Feferi couldn't do the lifey thing is because she and Jane are totally different classes. They have the same aspect, but a Witch and a Maid don't have the same abilities. Jane is Maid (made) of Life, it makes sense that she might spontaneously resurrect herself. Also, only humans have been shown to do a whatever-y thing (without being godtier first), right? Not that that necessarily means much.

Well yeah, that too. But trolls can do aspect stuff pre-god tier too, just look at TZ man, she does that shit all the time

How did Alternia end up with so many things from Earth (for example the Crosbytop)? I'd thought they were the same planet, but that doesn't seem realistic given that everything I can remember being there was in the kids' SBURB session. If it's not Earth, what is it and how did it get to universe A? I'm confused and I hope you wouldn't mind clarifying.

Bec Noir threw things at Aradiabots, some of which were knocked threw Skaian Defense portals back to Alternia

What does 413 truly mean?

April 13th

wait what do yall mean by the bomb that killed the dancestors???

Meenah exploded a bomb to kill all the A1 trolls so that they wouldn’t be wiped out by the Scratch

could roxy just appearify more rings of life? could the kids alchemetize more rings?

Objects of that caliber likely can’t be recreated but only the Hussman knows for sure

How many Mods are there, and how do you become one?

There are 2, and we currently aren’t recruiting, sorry and thank you

Why didn't the session of rose work out? Couldn't they have just got rid of the tumor and used Skaia to make the new universe? I mean they used it in Roy's session with the frog made in their session.

Bec Noir started the Reckoning early, their Battlefield would have been destroyed which is needed for the Genesis Frog to grow

How do you understand literally everything in Homestuck? I try so hard but some things just don't click for me. I envy you

I don’t know everything. I have a good understanding of all the temporal mechanics and know all the best ways to comb through the comic to find answers.

So like what happens to the alpha kids after caliborns masterpiece? Do we know? And what about everyone left on earth? Is kanaya just supposed to wither away while her wife is trapped in the juju? These things keep me up at night....

We don’t know what happens to the Alpha kids after they beat Caliborn, it seems like they’re stuck on Earth but you never know. Dave could have given one of them his turn tables so they could travel in time. 

This probably isn't the place to ask but if there was another session. Not a part of the home stuck crews but another group, would they still have paradox space from them or would they not???

They’d still have paradox space and the like, yes. That’s a constant.

Do you ever question why so people just ask you about some rather basic plot points every now and then?

I assume they just forgot. It’s a long comic, and for people that read it as it was posted certain events happened years ago.

Did we ever get an explanation to why jake's lantern on jane's planet wasn't lit? (also, you're one of my fav blogs)

It was because his dreamself was dead

wait, which kids are in what juju? i thought they all escaped finally??

The Betas, John Rose Dave and Jade, and we never saw them escape

I'm having the HARDEST time viewing the new update. Is it the same thing thats listed as 'Credits' on the Homestuck Official youtube?

Yes with a short, irrelevant point-n-click before hand

Same guy here from the "why didn't it work" ask, couldn't jade just take Skaia, wait till its over and then make the new universe?

Okay, but also, Bec Noir was around who they considered to be an unbeatable boss. They thought the Scratch was supposed to get rid of him too.

How's your day been? :)

Busy

I feel kind of like a dumbass for being into HS for the lore, classes and potential for alien races and not fully comprehending all the paradox mumbo jumbo

No need to feel bad my dude. Homestuck is a multi-faceted story, it’s okay to be more into one part of it than the other. Ain’t nothing wrong with that, I know the time shenanigans can get p. confusing if you’re not good with that stuff.

i hear a lot of people showering fans with "that was "post-cannon" theres still an epilogue to come" when talking about credits,and it really confuses me,am i or am i not free from the homestuck waiting curse?

you’re not free, that wasn’t the epilogue

Do we know if Troll telekinesis affects individuals as well as objects, or have we no evidence of it being able to influence an individual? I don't remember but wasn't part of when Vriska was being killed by Aradia telekinesis? I vaguely remember Aradia using it for some reason

Telekinesis can affect people. We see Aradia throw the trolls in [S] Jade: Enter. But Aradia didn’t kill Vriska with telekinesis, she straight up just beat her to near death.

Am I the only one who remembers that Vriska was Red-Rom for that dude in John's shitty movies?

I mean who isnt red-rom for Nic Cage, amiright?

Why did calliope throw the anti-sleeping majiks (i think i spelled that right?) in rose and roxy's eyes?

Because Rose is a Light player who could potentially unintentionally lead Lord English to her.
