i finished reading homestuck from beginning to end a while ago and only one thing really bugs me. everything in homestuck with loose ends always makes sense after a while but what about grandpa harley? how is he alive with a flying ship???? and where did he go after the scratch??? this haunts me and for the life of me i cant remember if that was ever resolved or not. how did he manage to stuff jade's dreamself and yet that always existed in the past??? grandpa harely confuses me entirely!!!!!!!

Time in the Medium is not the same as it is on Earth.  There are teleporters in the Frog Temple that go to Prospit and Derse. Mind you that the Frog Temple is on the island that Grandpa Harley owns. Therefore he was free to use the teleporters and go between Earth and The Medium at will.

Wait, Sollux was killed by the vast glub? But then wouldn't everyone else have dued too? Wasn't it something else?

No, Sollux was the last troll to enter. Everyone else but Feferi was in the Medium and out of the Vast Glubs range and Fuchsia bloods aren’t affected by the glub so he was the only one killed.

What would happen if a sburb/ sgrub player were to die on someone elses quest bed? Like if John died on Dave's quest bed or something.

Then John would be dead.

Wait, John's dead?

retcon timeline John is, but original timeline John is still alive and will arrive in the retcon timeline shortly

What was the troll roleplay incident? I never understood it

FLARP was a roleplay game played by Team Charge (Aradia and Tavros) and Team Scourge (Vriska and Terezi).  Vriska took the game too far and controlled Tavros into jumping off a cliff which paralyzed him.  To get back at Vriska, Aradia summons the ghosts of all the trolls Vriska has feed to her lusus to haunt her.  In retaliation Vriska controls Sollux and forces him to kill Aradia.  Terezi, in trying to get justicecontacted Doc Scratch to tell him that Vriska had one of his cue balls.  Doc Scratch then made the cue ball explode making Vriska lose her left arm and eye.  In revenge Vriska mind controls Tavros, making him use his psychic powers to control Terezi’s unhatched lusus into telling Terezi to go outside and look into the Alternian sun which then blinded her.
