Did it ever mention Dirk’s favorite my little pony?

It’s Rainbow Dash

Did Hussie ever declare Rex duodecium Angelus as canon? I swear remembering such.

It’s based on canon information but the flash itself is not canon.

Why is it assumed that the trolls ancestors have the same name as the dancestors? I’ve seen people call the dolorosa porrim. Also, where was it confirmed that the ancestors have the same aspect and class as the dancestors?

Grandpa Harley is referred to as Jake in Hiveswap, Nanna confirms her name is Jane here, and the Handmaid is referred to as Damara here

It’s not confirmed necessarily, the ancestors technically don’t have a class or an aspect since they don’t play the game, they just show traits of their other selves classpect, which I discussed here

Do the trolls have canon birthdays?

Karkat’s wriggling day is 6/12 but none of the other trolls have one confirmed

do we know how old the Mayor is?

At least 3

On what pages does Dave wear his red-sleeved record scratch shirt (the one they sell on welovefine)?

He’s wearing it when he finds Bro’s body

how have the Sgrub low bloods, especially those from Beforus, survived for so long? don’t trolls have a shorter and shorter lifespan as they go down the hemospectrum?

There used to be a calculator for this but I believe the lowest lifespan (Damara/Aradia) would still be like 20-30 years, and all the homestuck characters are in their teens until the credits in which case there aren’t really any lowbloods left that we know survived (save Karkat and due to his mutation he might have midblood lifespan, unknown)

So, I'm trying to write fanfics that mentions Jake and Dirk's breakup. Is it ever explained what exactly happened, like how it happened and why? I can't find it (though maybe I'm just bad at using google). Thank you for taking your time :)

You can read the break up here if you like, it explains everything

When was gamzee and Karkat officially pale?

Right at the end of Act 5, and a little bit into Act 6, it’s not shown specifically when they break it off

why did John have those clown drawings on his walls after all? (page 002901)

Gamzee’s chucklevoodoo gave him nightmares and he drew the clowns in his sleep

this has been confusing me for awhile so please correct me if i’m wrong.So the timeline post act 7 goes, They all go to Earth C, hang out and have a good time or whatever, then many many years later on Earth C, caliborn and calliope are hatched by gamzee because he’s immortal and just lived that long, and gamzee took them to the troll meteor which is on earth C. Then after caliborn sends john that snapchat, the kids find caliborn somewhere and then Caliborn’s masterpiece takes place? im confused

Either Gamzee is immortal due to plot armor, he got his hangs on time travel tech again, or the theory that the mini-black hole created by Jack English’s beheading was a portal to far future Earth C is true.

But other than that, yeah, you have the timeline just right.

How can Cherubs have culture and folklore if they live their entire lives in solitude?

I’m sorry, but what culture and folklore are you talking about? None comes to mind, unless you’re talking about the stuff Aranea exposited but that wasn’t really folklore as much as it was just facts

where did arquiusprite come from during Caliborn’s masterpiece? Did he go with everyone else to earth C? Gcatavrosprite is on Earth C so i don’t think its too farfetched to assume the same with Arquius, i just don’t remember him showing up in Act 7 or in any snapchat update

The last time we see Arquius is in Collide when he’s on Derse with Dad Crocker so he could have gone straight into the Furthest Ring to eventually end up in Caliborn’s session, but it’s also possibly that he just waited the whole time on Earth C, we don’t know for sure.

do you have any fascinating facts about tavros?

He told Jade he killed her Grandpa and then in the same pesterlog confessed his feelings for her, kid’s got some bravado

this might be a really dumb question but I gotta ask.. did eridan have some kind of self destructive behavior at one point or am I getting it messed up with a fanfiction I read?

I mean I’m no character analysis but I think it’s fair to say Eridan had some self-destructive behaviors. 

Isnt The Condesce able to "steal" psychic powers? I don't remember what page it was mentioned on (if it was)

No, she just has access to all the different psychic abilities thanks to the power up LE gave her combined with her obnoxiously long lifespan and experiments she did on herself

Are lime and red the only 2 blood colors for cherubs

those are the only ones we know about

at what age are trolls considered adults and get exiled?

It’s likely 8 sweeps since that’s nearly 18 earth years, but if I recall correctly Dammek is close to exile and he’s either 6 or 7 so it might be 7 sweeps as well. Has not been 100% confirmed

Okay BUT this is probably the most stupid question, and I apologise, but I haven't finished all of Homestuck yet and I am losing sleep thinking about how Tavros puts his shirt on?? With horns that big..??

the collar of his shirt is elastic so he steps into it like a skirt

did the beta kids escape the scratch just by simply leaving the game area and going into the furthest ring? or was it more complicated than that?

they just left the game area but they had to go down a very specific path which was complicated to do

How old is gamzee when he becomes Caliborn's guide in human years?

Either 16 or fucking ancient, there is no inbetween

where did grub scars even come from?? what are they supposed to be

I wanna say they came from an old comic or popular fan art which is the case of most fanon stuff, but I don’t actually know when and where it originated.

They’re supposed to be the scars left by the extra legs trolls had as wrigglers. 

did we ever find out who fedorafreak on Serious Business was and how come they were allegedly in the Medium as well (evidenced by them sending messages about alchemizing "tall pants")? who do you wager it is?

He was a friend of dad ebgert and he died while presumably playing his own copy of sburb

how did gamzee know what the cherubs would need inorder to stockpile everything? howd he plan so far ahead ? like i was thinking about calliopes facepaint and howd he know shed need it? and howd he know how much? not just for face paint but for evertyhing?

Future him was inside Lil Cal and presumably told him what he needed to know, it’s paradoxical. 

How can the vriscourse exist. She’s clearly not a good person because she’s not even a person

Vriscourse still exists? I thought we all collectively agreed that she was a good character but a bad person like three years ago.

Where is Sollux at the end of Act 7?

He’s out in the Furthest Ring with everyone

What order of age do the beta kids come in? (Oldest, second oldest, second youngest, youngest)

Jade (Dec 1 1995)  is the oldest, then Dave (Dec 3 1995), then Rose (Dec 4 1995), and John’s (April 13 1996)  the youngest

is "karkles" fanon or canon? if canon, who says it?

Fanon

Where did people get the idea that trolls don't have nipples? Didn't Arquiusprite confirm it along with that book cover about quadrant vacillation that Karkat showed Dave?

The idea came because they hatch from eggs and therefore don’t have a biological need to have nipples, but yes, trolls having nipples was confirmed by Arquius and Damara

im still confused, when do the beta kids get sucked into the juju?

At the very end. After the credits they’ll go fight Caliborn and get sucked in

John is noticeably larger when he's 16 than when when he was 13. (We can see when he retcons.) So are the godtiered kids going to die of old age? Or perhaps they will age until they're adults, then stop?

His change in height can probably be more attributed to the changes in Hussie’s artstyle over the years but it’s likely the god tier kids will age until they finish growing (early to mid-20s) then stop, but that’s not based in canon at all so don’t quote me on it

what if tavros doesn't even wear a shirt. what if he just has a shirt tattooed over his entire torso

But he changes clothes, we’ve seen him in his pupa pan outfit so he must be able to put a shirt on somehow, if it wasn’t for that I’d be all over this theory

I just saw a recent post that had all the trolls we know of from hiveswap and homestuck. Karkats bloodline was not red and put in between nepetas and kanayas I think. I saved it if you wanna see. But I don't remember why it's like that. Do you??

Well the Cancer symbol goes between Gemini and Leo in the horoscope cycle which is why it’s always been theorized that Karkat’s blood would have been Lime Green (the color between Gold and Olive) had it not been for his mutation making it Candy Red.

gemini and leo not leo and virgo

Right, brain fart, my bad. I fixed that post

Why does calliope still have swirled cheeks at the end of homestuck? Shouldn’t she have just a full green circle? Sorry for my dumb question i forgot

She never predominated because it was only her left in her ghost-bod so she’s stuck as a Cherub child forever just like Caliborn

so for the kids on earth c, will they live forever because they’re still god tier? or are the god tier powers cancelled because the game is over? also if the powers don’t cancel, does this mean dave and rose will inevitably outlive karkat and kanaya? thanks!

The god tier powers are still in effect as seen when they go to fight in Caliborn’s Masterpiece. And yes, Dave and Rose will eventually outlive Karkat and Kanaya if they ever get out of the house juju.

uH "after the credits they'll go fight Calibor and get sucked into the juju" can you exblain?

Caliborn was taunting John at the end of the Credits which makes Caliborn’s Masterpiece likely take place shortly after which is where the Beta kids get sucked into the House Juju

are ghosts in dream bubbles stuck there forever? or are they allowed to move on after?

They can move to different bubbles if they overlap but basically they’re stuck there forever unless something can doublekill them

What was Jade's strife specibus?

Riflekind

shouldnt there be a ghost caliborn floating around somewhere in the dream bubbles?

Yeah, there should be one from Alt.Calliope’s timeline

Have Rose and Jade spoken with each other in canon?

Yes, once in Act 2, once in Act 3, three times in Act 4, and they have a convo with Doc Scratch in Act 5 Act 2

Was Jane ever a good friend? Because she seemed to have a lot of outbursts and hurt her friends from it

I’m not really qualified to say what is and isn’t a good friend but Jane seems to be. The Alpha kids in general are kind of a mess, Jane was just overly skeptical in the earlier Act 6 acts and put through a ton of shit throughout the later acts, we never really go to see her at her best.

Is it possible for sburb to happen irl cause I want that so much

haven’t you been paying attention to the news at all the last year or so?
Homestuck is seeping its way into reality one event at a time, we’ll get to sburb eventually

Name all of the homestuck things irl

juggalo march on Washington

Dave Strider for Congress

Extended Zodiac/Aspect Quiz

I know there’re others but I can’t think of them, feel free to add more

Is it wrigglers or wigglers?

It’s wiggler. Wriggler is only used once and it’s by Roxy who probably doesn’t know the proper troll terms.

friendly reminder that there is a chance that a big space rock will pass by Earth to say hi on April 13, 2029 (or 2036? i don't remember, it's april 13 either way)

It’s 2029, which is also a Friday the 13th

How do you know all of these facts? One can't possibly remember every single detail in Homestuck

I look it up, some things are harder to find than others but they will all fall before my gaze eventually

more of a question for personal headcanon, but, what would happen when someone is get bigger than they were when they ascended? would their god tier outfit still fit, or...?

It’s magic pajamas, they’d still fit

Is it possible that any of the ancestors' timelines coincide (or wtv) with the events of Hiveswap?

The Handmaid maybe since she travels through time, Condy and the Psioniic are definitely alive when hiveswap happens. Grand highblood, and Darkleer are unknown.

Help me, I have a big dilemma. I'm on the last 100 or so pages of Homestuck and I don't want to finish it so I can pretend it never ended, but I also want to keep reading. What do I do?

Finish it and immediately start reading it again, it only gets better on the next read through
