What are y'alls theory/opinion/whatever on why Caliborn's blood is red, but Calliope's is green?
That’s just how cherubs work. The benevolent side has green blood while the malicious side has red.
It makes a lot more sense that b1 and b2 Dads are just ectoclones of sassacre and adopted by Nanna or Poppop, instead of the same guy being biologically created in different ways.
Hm, I can definitely see the similarities. It’s not impossible.
Why does Jack Noir only have one arm?
Because the harlequin doll that John prototyped only had one arm.
did feferi ever go god tier in an alt timeline?
Yes
You should probably keep an FAQ page, starting with a big section for ectobiology, since it's such a simple concept that so many people ask you about
I should add ectobiology basics to the FAQ. That’s a good idea anon.
Can you tag asks and replies related to upd8s??
There hasn’t been an upd8 in nearly two weeks. But I will do so with future upd8s
Not everyone in the homestuck fandom is current. That's why I ask.
I’m aware of that. I’m sure I have followers who are at all different parts of the story. But I can’t accommodate all of them. If you aren’t caught up then following a blog like this has a decent spoiler liability. I can tag asks related to upd8’s as they happen. But how long after an upd8 do I stop considering it an upd8?
Is Roxy trans?
It’s never said she is in canon. but it also never said she wasn’t. so… to each their own.
Have Feferi and Equius ever had any interactions with each other?
Not in canon
So, can you explain to me the relationship of Gamzee and Caliope/Caliborn
Gamzee set up their living place and provided food for them so that Caliborn could grow up and become Lord English. He was also the one that chained them to the sarswapagus
Why did Equius and Nepeta stay dead in the retcon timeline?
Because Gamzee still killed them.
Sorry... But what is retcon
Retcon is short for Retroactive Continuity. This is the process of changing facts that were already stated. John is going back and changing parts of the story that were told years ago. And the changes that he is having an effect on how the story will continue to be told, such as Vriska still being alive.
How did/do the mod(s) decide which characters to have tags about? I'm not asking for additional tags or anything cause adding Ancestors or something would be crazy cause that's an extra 12 tags not counting alternative names (Signless/Sufferer for example) and that's not even counting needing to go through I don't even know how many pages worth of content.
I dunno, I just tag whatever character the fact is about except if it’s an ancestor then I just tag it ancestor.
which flash is toased-blog talking about? :o
The 1/19/15 update. It doesn’t say it on the site but in the url instead of a page number it says shes8ack so people have been refering to that flash sequence as that.
Hey, IIRC Liv Tyler was sent in the green box to protect John when he most needed it from Jack, but also in the flash [s] Jack: ascend we see Jack use the green box to kill the black queen to get his powers. Does this mean that if Jade never sent the green box the session would have went smoothly, as Jack would have never ascended?
But if it wasn’t for Liv Tyler taking the tumor to Derse, Dave and Rose wouldn’t have been able to paradoxically created the Green Sun and if the Green Sun didn’t exist then Bec wouldn’t have existed which means he wouldn’t have lead Jade to John’s gift which lead to her befriending John. And if she never befriended John and the others she wouldn’t have been able to play the game.
so in a6i5 john sticks his hand into the juju and his hand is scattered about everywhere, it shows examples of it in past panels but are those actually there?
Yes, if you go back to those panels the hands will be there. This is the first retconning done in the series.
Ok, quick question: why do unsuccessful sessions exist? If the players do something wrong (like leaving the sprites unprototyped, losing to the Black King or fucking up in general), shouldn't that be just another doomed timeline? By extention, every session should bring to the creation of a new universe if the alpha timeline is followed, no?
The Alpha timeline includes failed sessions. They fail because they are meant to.
do we have any proof that Equius is actually dead in the new timeline? We only saw Nepeta's body and all of the horse puns insinuate him. I'm quoting some below because anon doesn't let me do links: JANE: The tilt between the friendly and felonious was a true horse race again. A real barn burner in the brewing. JANE: Yes, there'd still be hell to pay after Jade and I made our exit, sure as sugar cubes.
Hussie made the horse puns to make us think Equius would still be alive and showed the “leader” in a silohette with a question mark to allude to Equius’s Void aspect. But Hussie wanted us to think that so Vriska(Vriska) being the one to return would be a bigger shock.
what did Doc Scratch mean when he told KK to not turn his back on the body?
Because if Karkat looked away the bodies would go missing, which they did since Gamzee stole them.
Hopefully this counts as a decent question; Why is the bard so often considered a "Wildcard class" couldnt it just be considered that Gamzee really gets around?
It’s because you never know if the Bard’s powers will help or hinder his group.
Hey, I was looking recently at the conversation where Jade teases John for his choice of internet browser and says he should switch to hers, which I notice has the same name as her denizen. Is this true for all the kids, Alpha and Beta? And what about the trolls?
It is true for all kids and trolls.
Bards aren't the only class that like that tho, any class can either help or hinder, gamzee was just insane and fucked shit up due to lil cal, not his class.(totally different anon btw)
But his class was involved. He fueled rage into Terezi which lead to her killing Vriska. He made Terezi hate him which lead to their kismesitude. In his berserk mode he let the rage of other be diminished by terrifying them. You can read the class page on the wiki for more detail but his class was definitely involved. And I know that other people have written longer explanations so you can look for those if you like.
