Wait so is sollux a golden blood? And does that make him a mutant? I don't remember that I thought all the captors just had yellow blood

Yellow is Gold, also called Mustard, all the same thing. And yes he’s a mutant.

Can I add some science to the ectobiological-same-sex ask?

You can add whatever you want in a reblog

is Waste a canon class?

No

is it clear what skin color are the hs characters? did hussie say anything about it? or can we just have our headcanons

it’s entirely up to you

Is jade also gay

If you want her to be

is John the only one that ended up alone at the end?

Do you mean alone as in alone or alone as in single? In both instances he fits the bill but for the later he’s not “the only one”

Can you explain the creation of The Green Sun?

Rose and Dave blew up the tumor and the explosion is/was/became the Green Sun

Can sprites die? Like can they get harmed or die without exploding themselves?

Yes. The trolls’ lusiisprites all died, and Davesprite nearly died at the sword of Bec Noir

Which character do you feel had more potential than Hussie allowed?

Jane. Jade. Feferi, Nepeta, EQUIUS, Calliope, Serenity especially, Casey’s undead army arc was certainly a letdown, and um, Crowbar I guess. But most importantly, the mushroom farmer.

Can you explain all the different caliborns?

Caliborn: He’s Caliborn, becomes Lord English, a very angry boy

Alt-Caliborn: Lost to Alt-Calliope in an alternate timeline

Lord English: See number one.

How does dirks guardian (dave) manipulate money as he did with his SBAHJ Merch if that dave didnt play the game?

He’s just that good

Is Dave's middle name canonically Elizabeth or is that just a fanon thing

fanon

where did the Dave ELIZABETH Strider thing come from, cuz it's funny af XDD

It was from some fan comic that was really big like 2012/2013 but I can’t for the life of me find it

For the ask about alpha Dave's money, remember the rules of alchemy. The game is designed so that the only stuff you can make pre-entry is really basic stuff like cubes and what's already in your Phernalia Registry. Most stuff requires non-build grist, like shale, and that requires imps, and that requires entering. Rose theorized this was to prevent someone from starting the game and alchemizing infinite stuff without ever opening your Extruder and potentially causally invoking a meteor (1/2)

(2/2) If you could alchemize stuff without needing non-build grist, you’d be set forever. Fortunately, SBaHJ stuff alchemizes at a negative cost of artifact grist (this and zillium are the only grists seen like this), so you could do it without entering the game. Alpha Earth is seen covered in artifacty Lady Liberties bc Dave made so many to reap the massive grist spoils of their negative costs, and sold the grist off for money to finance his movies.            

who are villans of homestuck and what are their motives/goals?

Black Queen/King/ Agents of Derse: To Destroy Skaia and prevent the creation of Bilious Slick

Bec Noir: Angry Boy, wanna fuck shit up

Doc Scratch: Bring Lord English into Universe A2

Condesce: wants to revive her race so she can rule it

The Felt: Does what Doc Scratch tells ‘em

Jack English: Go coco banans

Gamzee: Wants to help his mirthful messiahs

Lord English: to destroy everything

Heiress Jane: OBEY

Grimbark Jade: to assist the Condesce

Aranea: To change the Alpha Timeline

ICP/Guy Fieri: To rule the world

Lil Cal: Hee Hee Hoo Hoo Haa Haa

Eridan: to survive

Vriska???(debatable): wants to be the hero

Isn't Jane's birthday 11/11???

Nope, Jane’s birthday is the same as John’s:  April 13th, 1996

I'm pretty sure you answered this already but...has there ever been a perfect session?

The closest we’ve seen is the Beta Trolls. The only thing they did wrong was rush the genesis frog creation and then not get to open the door to claim their prize.

Why is gamzee so short in comparison to the grand high blood?

He’s young, GHB is likely hundreds of sweeps old while Gamz isn’t even 8

Is Jade fond of any of the trolls?

She gets along with Karkat and Kanaya well enough

Can we expect all th e trolls to grow to such COLLASOL size?

Nope, they all stop growing at some point, most smaller than that

Hi just wondering what happened to davesprite!

Davesprite became Davepetasprite^2

Hi! Did we ever learn what were the abilities of the lime blooded trolls that they were exterminated for?

We did not. It’s theorized that they had great pacification abilities

can you tell if your in a doomed timeline?

Sometimes. The kids couldn’t talk to the trolls if they are in a doomed timeline so that could be a sign.

But couldn't John talk to Terezi in the timeline where he died?

The timeline didn’t become doomed until he died

Remind me: how did Gcat..... happen? We see Jake's BARK journal, which is assumed to be the First Guardian genetic code, but there are no meteors sent back in the alpha session, so it couldn't have gone through the same process as Bec.

Some meteors where sent back, not a lot. The Reckoning didn’t happen but stuff that gets chucked at Skaia can still be teleported to Earth like how the Meteor got their.

Happy 4/13 :D

Happy Hamsteak Day

Do we know how the whole Muse/Lord class thing works or is it up to speculation again? I've been told that a session with only two players has a Muse and a Lord but then there's "Only Cherubs can be the master classes," which is making me rather confused.

Muse and Lord are just very rare and powerful classes. It’s never been stated that they are cherub exclusive.  Only Cherubs in Homestuck hold the titles and the classes are gender-specific so that might be where the misconception comes from, but any species should theoretically be able to have. And it hasn’t been stated to my knowledge the the classes are exclusive to one or two player sessions.

me and a few others remember a quote where karkat was talking about his typing quirk, saying that he uses big letters to make others take him more seriously/to not feel as small/to make himself seem more important, something along those lines? but we cant find it. was it canon or are we remembering a fic or something?

I can’t find any evidence of it in canon, I think it might be from a fanmade work

Can two of the same object be prototyped into the same sprite, or even just in the same session?

That’s unknown, I doubt two of the same item be used in one sprite but who knows *shrug*.png

Wasn't it stated or at least heavily implied in Mindfang's journal entries that she mind controlled the Dolorosa to give her a blowjob just to simply piss off her kismesis Dualscar? IDK, my friend said so and I don't know whether to believe her or not...

Mindfang did mind control one of Dualscars slaves into being her lover to piss him off, whether that was the Dolorosa or not remains to be seen but fanon belief is strong

Wasn't that Karkat thing about big letters when he was on the meteor talking to himself?

I read the log before, that was my first instinct but he doesn’t talk about it there. Caliborn talks about BIG LETTERS on two instances tho.

i feel really dumb asking this but i know half of the blood caste tends to use words like "bloodpusher" and the other half just says "heart" but i forget which is which :/

Highbloods used the human term. Lowbloods used the more specified titles. 

do you think hiveswap is coming out today?

I doubt it’s being released today, soon tho.

Are there any patterns you feel are important but are overlooked in Homestuck?

I do really enjoy the running Cat/Horse dynamic, it’s not really acknowledged much but it’s there. Rose had a cat and a horse. Nepeta and Equius. Roxy and Dirk. The repetitive appearance of cats and horses. The sprite most integral to the plot, Arquius being composed of two horse fanatics. While the two sprite^2 both have a feline component. That’s just off the top of my head, I’m sure there’s more stuff out there.

Thank you for being with us throughout this ride! Happy 413!

Happy 413 indeed, I can’t wait to see where this ride takes us next :3

when Talking about the lime blood's theorized abilities, what did you mean by 'great pacification abilities'?

it’s theorized that they had the ability to calm others down, in a similar fashion to Sopor Slime (which is lime green and some think is made with lime blood).  This would have been a very dangerous ability in the hyper-aggressive Alternian society, it could have changed the whole system.

Why did the Lil Cal that came to the Beta Universe with Bro have Caliborn/Arquisprite/Gamzee in him, while the Lil Cal that came to the Alpha Universe with Dirk was empty?

Because the Cal that went with Dirk was destined to be filled and it could be filled if it was already full. Likewise, the essences in Bro’s Cal were needed for Doc Scratch’s creation so it needed to have all them naughty boys shoved up in it.

any often forgotten facts you can share with us about spades slick (or jack/bec noir tbh) and/or the midnight crew? thanks!

Spades Slick as well as the whole Midnight Crew originally appeared in a Problem Sleuth extra bonus chapter that Hussie made as a result of receiving a handful of donations from a user that went by the name Mayonaka who also designed all four characters

Forgotten Fact about 413

4+1+3=8. 8 is the atomic number of Oxygen. Oxygen is why you breath. John is a Breath player. Throughout Act 5 Act 2 John had a flirtation thing with Vriska. Vriska. Do you  see it? I’ll say it again: Vriska. Still didn’t catch it? Sound it out with me: Vri. Ska. That’s right. Ska. As in Skaia, the governing force behind the story’s universe. But that’s not really true now is it? We all know Andrew Hussie is the real governing force of the tale. What do we know about Andrew Hussie, that’s it, he is attracted to Vriska. And who is Vriska attracted to at one point? Tavros. The symbol Tavros wears on his shirt is that of the Taurus constellation. Taurus is only one letter away from Tauros as in the Pokemon. Tauros has three tails. Three. Three is how many sides a triangle has. A triangle with an eye in the center is the symbol used by the Illuminati. Eye. Doc Scratch has no eyes. Doc Scratch is an excellent host. Newgrounds hosted [S] Cascade, but the site crashed on its release. Know what else crashed? Three planes on the date September 11th, 2001. One flight did not crash but landed safely. The president on that date was George W. Bush.  George W. Bush was the United State’s 43rd president. Did you catch that? He was the 43rd president and 1 flight did not crash into its intended target.

413 confirmed Bush did 9/11 

If lime bloods could calm people down then why can't karkat a mutated lime blood do the same?

A: Karkat being a mutant lime blood isn’t canon

B: He kinda did with Gamzee

During most of homestuck it feels like the story was made up as it went along, but is this true?

Actions in Act 1 through Act 3 were determined by mspaforum user suggestions. So yes, it was literally made up as it went along.

yo at p=009402 there's this dialogue "DAVE: so DAVE: you are my biological mother ROXY: yes DAVE: and roses ROXY: yes DAVE: and therefore bear at least partial and like biologically incidental responsibility for why we are both so fucked up." Do you have any idea what he means by "so fucked up"? thanks!

He could means like different? He could also be referencing illnesses as in Rose’s predisposition to addiction could have been passed on genetically from Roxy, Dave’s issues seem more environmentally based but he could also have had an underlying  mental condition that he inherited from Dirk.

But knowing Dave he was probably just making a joke about how parents are the reason for everything that’s wrong with their kids.

Is wayward vagabond technically the only character who has not died?

Well I mean, he likely died in the GAME OVER timeline. He was on Dave’s planet when it got all smashed up.

so they get a few years of normalness, and then get sucked into juju, and then thats the end of their story?

as far as we know, yeah.

i didnt understand the end of the end credits. why did john smash his own phone? why were gamz/cal snapping him?

John was angry boy, Gamzee and Caliborn were taunting him cuz they’re jerks

why is Lord English's name English? And not Lord Caliborn ?

i thought wv died and then fef revived him at some point?

there was no DEAD text that accompanies most deaths so it was likely he was only at death’s door and Fef healed him

what " underlying mental condition" are you talking about? :0

Dirky boy definitely has something, mad Depression for sure. I’ve seen arguments for him having NPD.  But  Dave doesn’t really shown signs of that. He’s got more of a depression fueled inferiority complex.

doesn't rose also have autism?

Not canonically

What about Nepeta? Does her hat biting count as stimming?

It could. Karkat calls her autistic once but that could have just been him being a jerk. Nepeta being autistic is not 100% canon confirmed.
