This seems a little mean but I assure you it's not! What should be blacklist if we don't want to see all your asks?

You should blacklist “fhsf asks” and/or “fhsf ask”

~Mod T

The Species title is the same number of letters as their names. All Kids have 4 letter, Trolls 6, Cherubim 8.

Don’t forget Ancestors 8

Sadly Guardian doesn’t fit the same pattern, but they all have three letters excluding Grandpa Harley (ex:Dad, Mom, Bro, Bec)

~Mod T

I was reading what you said about ancestors having 8 letters as well as 8 letters in their name, but what about Grand Highblood?

The 8 letter restriction was too scared of him so he is the one exception.

~Mod T

andrew hussie is made of poopapoop

~Mod T

Mindfang's first name, Spinneret, doesn't fit the naming queue either. But Marquise does.

She’s a spider troll, this must be some form of irony.

Put a little bomb in a hot ass damsel, blow stuff up, and make people die.

~Mod T

Isnt there also a river in mythology called Eridanus?

There’s an Eridanos river in Greek mythology, apparently it was an actual river that flowed between forty million and seven hundred thousand years ago from Lapland to the North Sea through where the Baltic Sea is now

~Mod T

/post/52487618830 shouldn't that be past tense? didn't Jade take them off once her dream self was killed because they no longer made sence

Yes it should.  But when that fact was originally posted she was still wearing them.

~Mod T

How do I know if the facts are cannon or head cannon?

If there is a source they are 99.76% Cannon

If there isn’t a source then I’m not sure.

~Mod T

Can you answer more asks and respond to less submissions? I know this is what EVERYONE ELSE is thinking.

Hey, if don’t like the asks you can just blacklist them. It’s not that hard.

~Mod T

Forgotten Fact: The ancestors on Alternia are the AU versions Beforan Trolls, not the Alpha Trolls. People seem to forget that way more often than they should. Often naming the Ancestors after the descendants.

Actually. Here, Slick refers to a young Handmaid as Damara, so it is highly likely that the ancestors have the same names as their prescratch selves.  But they are not, as you said, the same person.

~Mod T

I don't think that search feature helps you check the interactive flashes btw, so you cannot be certain about how many times "fuckass" was used without looking through all of those :|

Anyone wanna check on that?

~Mod T

do you know the link for alchemizing weapons

I do not, But some of our followers may.  Can any of you help out this anon?

~Mod T

Yo! So we were re-watching old flashes not too long ago, and my friends and we got to wondering, how Exactly did Jane enter the medium??

Well she enters here: http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006565

If you’re talking about how the tree disappears/breaks to actually enter the medium, I assume Gcat was involved.

~Mod T

Does any Mod like Guidestuck?

I am a fan of guidestuck, yes.

~Mod T

Dave isn't smiling in 004725, that's his nose.

We have received several messages about this.

Thank you to all who said it.

~Mod T

Wait if Karkat is a post scratch troll then ectobiologically isn't he Kankris father?

Yep.

~Mod T

I'm not sure where it was mentioned exactly, but Ive heard Lord English was originally meant to be beaten by slick as far back as the MNC intermission and that Betty Crocker (back before she was merged with the Condesce as one character or even before the condesce was thought up) was meant to be the main and final antagonist. But that during said intermission, Hussie altered his plans. Does anyone know if this is true or not?

Hussie didn’t originally plan to have trolls either.

Who knows, that could be true.

~Mod T

If the Alternian trolls are Post-scratch and the Beforan trolls are pre-, and the Beta kids are Pre- and the alpha kids are post-, then (ecto?)Biologically Kankri is Karkats son, Meenah is Feferis daughter, etc. just a thought.

Technically speaking, yes, The Beforan trolls are the offspring of the Alternian trolls’ pre-scratch counterparts. 

~Mod T

I think that with the debate over whether or not Karkat is Kankri's father, you have to take into consideration that Karkat did the ectobiology thing, like John. Wouldn't that make him Kankri's son?

Not necessarily. We don’t know for sure who is who’s parental figure regarding the trolls. It really depends on who was cloned and who was ectobiologically made.  We assume that since the Beforans came first that is how it works out with the Beforan ancestors being the parents. 

We can’t be sure really.

~Mod T

I think the trolls are mostly copies of their dancestors, with a little bit of others. Incestuous slurry and all that.

Most likely

~Mod T

Actually, Doc Scratch involving himself with his own creation does not create a paradox, it is merely a sustained time loop. It's not a paradox until the time travel itself becomes impossible. If Doc creates his own origin, he cans still travel, if he destroys his origin, then we have a paradox.

Yes that.

~Mod T

the paradox with Bec's creation is that after a bec-prototyped Jack Noir got the trolls trapped on the meteor, Vriska mind controlled the dersite agents into taking the MEOW book to the ectobiology labs and making Bec with it (pages 004860-004964). She also was partly the cause of Bec getting prototyped (004875) which is also paradoxical and involves Bec.

Yeah, and wasn't it the "crystal ball" Jade had when she opened the chest in the beginning?

We aren’t sure. Presumably, yes. But a consort gave it to Rose so we can’t be 100%.

~Mod T

Pssst Kurloz isn't a beta troll~

Pardon moi, I skipped over that word in the submission.

~Mod T

'Tis ok dude! Just thought I'd let you know so you could sort it out before some dick came and gave you shit for it

Thank you for alerting me friendly anon ^_^

~Mod T

forgotten homestuck facts* (*facts may not be correct)

We try. Not everyone can be right 100% of the time like you,oh majestic anon.

~Mod T

could you tell me why the dancestors are called that?

It’s an abbreviation of Descendant and Ancestor.

“Due to the complexities in familial relationships from each player group considering themselves the descendants and their counterpart player group the ancestors, causing confusing terminology, the term originated as a portmanteau of descendant and ancestor as a single simple term to describe the relationship. It is likely that Porrim was referring primarily to troll players, possibly as a reference to the fact that it is not apparently known which set is the biological ancestry of the other.

 

By contrast, for the humans, it is known that the B2 kids are the parents of the B1 kids. However, as the term appears to mostly deal with the "perceived” direction of the relationships, it could be seen as applicable to the humans as well; as few of them are aware that their grandparents/ancestors are their children. Roxy has started to catch on to it after seeing Rose in a dream bubble for the second time. Jade has long since been aware that her “pen pal” is her grandson, but she has never indicated awareness that Jake is also her grandfather.“

~Mod T

wow holy shit that was seriously an asshole thing to do you could have just not posted that submission instead of being mean to that guy

Excuse me, no it wasn’t? I was just telling him it’s not a forgotten fact.  I meant no offense by it. If you took offense, then sorry I guess. 

~Mod T

Man, you're getting a lot of hate today. Bug off, anons.

Eh, I’m p bored so I don’t mind the h8.

~Mod T

It's sort of confusing because 'Alpha' would imply 'first' Making Meenah and John's respective group the 'alpha' groups, IE pre-scratch, but with the Alpha and Beta versions of sburb, stuff gets a bit...messed up.

And that’s why it’s better to just use pre and post-scratch (◡‿◡✿)

~Mod T

I just gotta say that I really like this blog because it keeps my memory fresh on the comic and its aspects! This blog is super helpful! Thank you <3 Keep it up uvu/

Continued: Also, your theories are great in my opinion :D

Aw, Thanks and you’re welcome! 

~Mod T

Do Trolls have an organ that's like a heart?

I’m sure they do.

~Mod T

A common terminology for the player groups is A1 for Meenah's trolls, A2 for Karkat's trolls, B1 for John's humans, and B2 for Roxy's humans. IIRC this was coined by Aranea in her dreamchat with Terezi, although B1/B2 was foreshadowed much earlier.

Oh yeah. I forgot to mention that earlier. Thank ya kindly.

~Mod T

For the anon asking about hearts: the troll term for a normal heart is "blood pusher", however, only landdwellers seem to have one. Seadwellers have, according to Kanaya, a "Collapsing And Expanding Bladder Based Aquatic Vascular System".

I got several responses saying this. Thanks.

~Mod T

To that other anon, if I'm not mistaken, Aradiabot ripped out the heart Equius gave her, yeah?

Now how could we forget this?

~Mod T

why are you and this other blog getting so many questions about hearts

~Mod T

"Eridan's hair streak is natural" Where's the proof for this? I don't see how the flash/game/thing proves that his hair is naturally purple.

That picture is from when the grubs were first created. As in, moments after their ectobiological creation. And Eridangrub has a purple streak therefore he was created with it and it is natural.

~Mod T

(about eridans hair streak being natural) there's a headcanon (?) floating around that cronus has the streak as well, but dyes it black to seem more "human" (on his talksprite you can see the gray part of his hair where the streak would be)

That’s a nice headcanon. I like that.

~Mod T

That means that diapers and glasses are natural too, since the humans had them moments after ectobiology.

I’d say so, yeah

~Mod T

I dont see why anyone would be bothered by Eridan having a natural purple streak. I mean he is a troll after all and natural oddly colored hair isn't rare in fiction.

srsly

~Mod T

so, according to post 53790770447, is snowman doc scratches mom? sorta????

If you consider John to be John’s dad then yes.

~Mod T

yeah doc scratch put lipstick on that megido, just like karkat put green lipstick on kanaya in that picture of him with them, or wait maybe this theory actually sucks?

I don’t appreciate your rude tone there friend.

~Mod T

Maybe the eye lashes, the lips, the hair and such are all just for simplicity and recognizability. Just a thought. We should be careful how seriously we consider anything. It is Homestuck after all.

Exactly.

~Mod T

Obviously they weren't wearing diapers. That'd be silly. That's just what a Homestuck Human looks like naked

You’re probably right.

~Mod T

Anon 77: Hello i just wanted to tell you thank and that the rest of the anons should calm the fuck down

Thanks Anon 77, but it’s cool. The other anons aren’t that bad today. I’ve seen a lot worse.

~Mod T

Well I don't think a mutation like colored lips would be cullable. Maybe it's even seen as attractive?

Possibly. Other trolls must put on lipstick for some reason.

~Mod T

I always had the headcanon that it's sort of like grey hair. Eridan's natural purple streak is the equivalent of a human having a streak of prematurely grey hair. Like maybe trolls reaching the end of their lifespan have hair that, instead of turning grey, turns a duller version of their blood color or something.

That’s a nice headcanon too

~Mod T

about the lips thing, i think it's kind of just like people lips. some people have pale lips (for trolls their pale = black) and some people- more often girls- have more flushed lips. pink because of blood. So trolls could have flushed lips in the color of their blood, couldn't they? And of course, they can wear makeup on top of that. Like human girls do

It’s a possibility

~Mod T

Something I've been wondering - would a class combination like 'Seer of Void' be possible, and if so what would they even do? I mean I know the Seer is basically that, and Void is canonically 'nothing', so does the Seer of Void 'see Nothing' or...?

The thing about titles is they can be interpreted many different ways.

My interpretation of Seer of Void would be one who could see through or into the Nothingness.

Since Seer is a passive class someone could interpret it as one who sees what others are lacking (the void in the person so to speak). Such as patience or knowledge. 

It’s really up to the person.
