do you think dirk will arrive at the meteor (or whatever is this place theyre sitting rn)?

Right now they’re on a platform underneath Skaia and yes, Dirk will arrive soon as mentioned by Rose here.

If you die and your in a dream bubble do you age? And do sprites age?

Ghosts in dream bubbles do not age as evidenced by the Alpha trolls who have been there for billions of years and still look like they did when they died, about 9 sweeps. Sprites probably do not age but there has been no confirmation in-comic. 

which god tier classes have been specifically stated to be specific to one gender or the another such as the case with lords and muses rather than assumed to be specific to a particular gender due those classes only being assigned to 2 or 3 canon characters that share the same gender?

The Prince and Bard classes are stated to be male-exclusive here

When did Dave get shot by jade on accident? I don't remember that part

It happened during their fight with Bec Noir on this page in the skinny panel at the top. 

How old are the Alpha trolls?

They’re 9 sweeps old.

how did rose turn grimdark?

After finding out about her mother’s death Doc Scratch and Jade urged her to look into her Magic Cue Ball and ask if the Horrorterrors were benevolent. This caused her to turn Grimdark. 

didn't jade mention being pen pals with jake at some point?

Yes she mentions this in her letter to John on this page. 

What is the prize for beating sburb?

The prize is that the players get to rule over the universe they create as gods.

Is it true that Caliborn actually called Calliope attractive?? Like indirectly I mean

Yes he does on this page.

In the Descend Flash, during the part where Jack and Bro are fighting, why does Bro stab his sword into the Beat Mesa?

Bro is trying to initiate the Scratch which is caused by physically scratching the Beat Mesa.

How do you remember the page links for the different questions people ask you?

Most of the time I remember key phrases used in those conversations pertaining to the ask and search mspaintadventures for those phrases. Or I check the wiki to make sure.

What would have happened if the trolls had gone through the door?

They would’ve found themselves in the kid’s universe.

If jades grandpa was dead while she was still a baby how did he find her dead dream self and have it stuffed while riding a big ship in prospit? This question has been eating me alive.

Grandpa used the portals found in the Frog temple on his island to enter the Medium sometime before he died and before the session started. Because the Medium’s timeline started when John entered, Grandpa was sort of traveling in the future. He took Jade’s dream body back through the portals to Earth and stuffed it. 

How does one get sent to a dream bubble after death? Like do you have to be a player of sburb/sgrub to go to a dream bubble after death since the ancestors weren't

Yes the dream bubbles are only for the ghosts of dead sburb/sgrub players. Meenah just sort of appeared in a bubble after she died. 

Was Latula blind before she died?

No Latula was never blind.

hey what about a maid of blood? or hope? breath? which one is the best?

Each godtier title can be powerful if you fulfill your role correctly. In terms of raw power I’d say Hope is your best bet. 

What happened to the doomed!timeline davesprite?

His fate is unknown. 

Something's that's always baffled me... if Jade's grandpa was shot while she was young, who stuffed and mounted him?

Either Jade or Bec but it was most likely Bec since a young Jade probably couldn’t have brought herself to stuff her own grandfather.  

How did Glubglub (Fef's Lusus) die?

Feferi’s lusus was implied to have been killed by a meteor after she released the Vast Glub. She then fell into Feferi’s kernel sprite and was prototyped. 

What're the different kinds of session? I know doomed and dead sessions are a thing, but what else?

There are three kinds of bad sessions: null sessions, dead sessions, and void sessions. An example of a void session is the Alpha kid’s session. A void session is when nothing is prototyped pre entry. This means the battlefield cannot evolve and grow and the session will go on forever because the Black and White king’s war will be an eternal stalemate. 

what are all the ships that have become canon?

Right now the canon ships are as follows:

Terezi <> Vriska

Punk!Vriska <3 Meenah

Mituna <3 Latula

Meulin <> Horruss

Spades Slick <3 Ms Paint

Nepeta <> Equius

Kurloz <> Mituna

Rose <3 Kanaya

Could you explain the vast glub? Like when it happened and what it caused?

The Vast Glub was a psychic shockwave released by Feferi’s lusus that killed every troll in the galaxy except the trolls with fuchsia blood who are Feferi and the Condesce. The Vast Glub was released right before Feferi’s lusus died. 

Do you have the first memo that was made by Karkat?

Here you go.

Why did the condense destroy the derse moon?

The Condesce destroyed the moon so Dirk and Roxy could ascend to godtier.

did Roxy actually have a crush on Dirk or was that a friendly/notsofriendly joke?

Yes Roxy does canonically have a crush on Dirk. She states that she loves him on this page. 

can you ascend to the god tier if your dreamself is dead? is it also possible if you haven't completed the echeladder, or are these things not elaborated in canon?

Yes, you can ascend to godtier if your dreamself is dead, you just have to use your Sacrificial Slab and not your Quest Bed. Everyone who has gone godtier has reached the top of their echeladder but it has not been stated outright if it is a requirement to ascend.

what's the scratch and how did it affect the timelines?

The scratch is a release of temporal energy that causes Skaia to switch which portals the meteors go through. It results in a reset universe and a switched set of players. The scratch was always necessary for the alpha timeline so it didn’t affect any other timelines. 

Why were trolls all over Gamzee after he went sober? Apparently Sollux felt kinda flushed, Terezi caliginous, Karkat pale, and Kanaya ashen. And why didn't he accept any of these advances (other than Terezi)? Also, since this is kinda the topic, did Gamzee have Terezi kill Vriska to eliminate a blackrom rival? Thanks babe, keep up the great blog <33

Sollux felt both flushed and pitch for Gamzee because of his duality theme (although his initial feelings may have been caliginous since Gamzee just killed two of his friends). Terezi felt caliginous for the same reasons. Karkat felt pale because he wanted to pacify Gamzee to calm him down. Gamzee did accept Karkat’s pale solicitation. Gamzee manipulated Terezi into killing Vriska possibly so that he didn’t have to deal with her himself. 

homestuck kids werent born, does this mean they dont have bellybuttons?

Since they’re paradox clones then no they probably don’t have bellybuttons. 

is fefeta mute? if so why

Fefetasprite is not mute she just never speaks directly in the narration. Roxy mentions that she spoke with her all the time here.

Uh... I can't recall... Who exactly is dad Egbert or were we ever told?

Dad Egbert is John’s dad, the guy with the pipe and hat who baked a lot.

So Roxy was taken care of by her neighbors when she was a baby, but how did dirk survive? I don't think lil cal can raise an infant

Nobody raised Dirk, he was on his own from the start

So this is something I've been confused about for a while. Who is Lord English? Like I get that it's Caliborn grown up, but didn't we see Mr. Vanilla Milkshake turn into him in [S] Begin Intermission 2?

On this page we see that Arquiusprite, half of Gamzee, and Caliborn are sucked into Lil Cal. Doc Scratch was created ectobiologically from Lil Cal and a white cue ball. So when he died Lord English emerged from his body as a fusion of those three guys. 

Was there a reason the denizen killed retcon davespeite? Or was it just bad timing? And won't there be two jaspersprites now?

Retcon Davesprite was killed because he happened to be on lowas with John. As for there being two Jaspersprites that remains to be seen. 

who developed sburb in the beta kids session?

Sburb was developed by a company called Skaianet in the pre-scratch universe. Considering that the technology for the game is found in the frog temples on Jade and Jake’s island, it’s highly possible that Grandpa Harley had a hand in it’s making. 

What would be an heir of time's power's?

An Heir is someone who brings about change via their aspect. For a more in depth explanation of the Heir class and the Time aspect I suggest taking a look at this post but I wouldn’t recommend opening it if you’re on mobile since it is a very long post. 

At any point did Dr Scratch interact with Kanaya?

Yes actually in person on this page. 

What does it mean to be a page of hope

Pages inspire their aspect in others and have great potential. A Page of Hope inspires Hope in other people and is a very powerful title to have. 

This may be a stupid question. But what causes the vast glub again and in the newer updates, (Spoiler I Guess?) How did Sollux die from it/how did they save him from it??

Sollux died because he had not yet entered the Medium before it was released and also because he was a yellow blood and only fuchsia bloods can survive it. His Derse dream self woke up and took his place after Feferi kissed his dead body. I explained the Vast Glub already here

So just to be clear, Lord English isn't just Caliborn, he also contains Gamzee, Equius and Hal?

Yes

Does anyone who asks questions actually pay attention reading homestuck?

Homestuck is a long and confusing story so it’s easy to get confused. I became a Mod because I like helping clarify information and talking about Homestuck so I don’t mind answering these questions.
