When were the Dancestors introduced?

In Three Seperate Flashes

On what planet did the Midnight Crew and the Felt live on?

Alternia’s Green Moon.

How did Aradia get Rose and Dave to the trolls?

She did not. The trolls came to Rose and Dave.

I noticed earlier that you mentioned that Gamzee had been shown with the time-travel things that the Megidos usually owned. Do you think it's possible that they were originally Damara's? Seeming as she was a supporter of Lord English? I could be completely wrong but yeah.

It’s more likely that he got them from a Damara than Aradia.

could you explain bec noir/jack noir ??? i don't understand the difference or if one of them is the white one (thought the white one was PM though its all so confusing)

Jack Noir is a session constant.  He was in the trolls’ session, the cherubs’ session and the kids’ sessions.  As such each one kinda has their own nickname.

The trolls’ Jack became Spades Slick after forming the Midnight Crew

The Beta Jack became Bec Noir due to him being part Bec.

The Alpha Jack became Jack English since he has billiard ball eyes like Lord English.

The cherub Jack is just Jack Noir, he hasn’t changed at all he’s still your standard Jack.

how did Aradia not nave a dream self when she clearly had onee? Why was it on her quest bed?

No one knew she had one since it was in Derse’s moon’s core.

i'm on the start of act 5 and I'm wondering if johndave is canon? And what ship is canon? Sorry for the bad english, it's not mt first language :-) thank you !!

Johndave is not canon.  At your point of the story the only canon ship is equ<>nep, eri<>fef, and kan<>vris

WHAT IS GRUB SAUCE AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR

It’s a sauce, made of grubs, and it’s used for various things.

Okayokay I have more than one question: 1) Has anything about whether or not Jade's genitals were affected by her going all doggy tier been confirmed? 2) If Lord English can kill ghosts, can Caliborn? 3) What would have ARsprite looked like if Gamzee hadn't put in Equius's corpse? 4) I've seen several sources say Aranea/Porrim was a thing one point in time, but throughout every part of the alpha trolls appearances I haven't seen any evidence. 5) Is John/Roxy canon? 6) When'd Tavros leave Vriska?

1) No nothing’s been stated
2) No, he’s not powerful enough yet.
3) Probably like Dirk
4) It was a thing in the past confirmed in whatever flash Porrim’s introduced in
5) Almost
6) Here

Actually Aradia's dreamself + quest cocoon were in Derse's center, not the moon center. They weren't moved to the moon since she was dead on arrival

No she was in the moon’s cores, that’s where the Sacrificial Slabs are located.

what happened to the handmaid after she recruited the condesce to lord englishs team? was it ever proven in canon that she died or just implied?

The Condesce killed her and was forced to take her place serving Lord English.

what is the tumor?

It’s a bomb, a very big bomb.

Look at wake again. the moon is totally destroyed, the camera zooms into derse prime, and Aradia appears.

You’re right.  Normally the slabs are in the moons but Aradia was a special case since she died before the game started.

What's up with the sprites not having noses as well as arms? I mean a nose is not that hard to draw. Is that some other inside joke of Hussie's?

How many acts are there in total?

Too goddamn many.

Counting all the Intermissions and Sub-acts, there’s 35.

I pretty much skipped the entire felt mob/midnight crew section because I found it really uninteresting but it turns out its actually super important for a lot of things. I tried to actually read it but its still incredibly boring to me, what are the most important things I missed out on knowing?

It mentions Lord English, It introduces Spades Slick and Snowman who both end up being pretty important, it explains what all the felts’ abilities are I’m not going to explain them here for the sake of convenience but you can read about them on the felt wiki page, and it gives us a taste of time-shenanigans which will become so widespread and confusing later on.

why was davesprite killed in the retcon timeline? john/roxy were killed to allow a void for preretcon john and roxy to fill... does this suggest to davesprites survival on one of the planets?

Possibly, but

he’s gonna die at some point

what are the known rules on revival (esp by godtiered life players)? ive seen some say they can only bring them back once or something??

Jane can only bring back someone once, whether this limit applies to other life players or if other life classes can even revive people is unknown. 

During [s] Cascade, we see Bec Noir disappearify himself from where the exiles were staying and then he shows up in the trolls session to sabotage their game, is that how it works? Can he disappearify into another universe? Also, why did the exiles need to blow up the pods?

That was a special disapperaifier as it had the the different universe switches.


And they didn’t need to blow them up AR was just doing to so that no one could spy on the kids any more.

But didn't a doomed Feferi (as witch of life) bring back WV/the mayor?

He wasn’t dead yet, she just healed him.

I was under the impression that the exile bases were also blown up to prevent jack noir getting access to them?

Yeah, that too.

What animals represent the alpha/beta kids? Like Dave's crow.

Rose- Squid probably because of her involvement with the horrorterrors but maybe a cat

John- Bunny

Jade- Dog

Dirk- Seagull

Roxy- Cat

Jane is maybe a rabbit?

and Jake is 

well I have no idea what Jake is it could be anything he lived alone on an island full of animals for pete’s sake.

Who is your favorite troll and why?

Equius cause, idk, he just always has been. 

 He was really under-appreciated when I first got into homestuck so there was like zero art or anything for him, so maybe that was part of the attraction, idk man, he’s just really great, I mean, come on just look at this face

Jake's animal is a gun

Probably.

if people playing the game werent born through ecto biology and they did the scratch in the same was the pre-scratch kids did would post-scratch kids show up in the same way

If the players weren’t born through ectobiology then they probably won’t have an option to do the scratch.  

on page 8798, is there any significance to lil seb shaking his head and saying no while john calls caliborn out as lord english

It’s more likely that Lil Seb could be saying don’t fight him or you’re not gonna kick his ass or he was saying no because Caliborn hadn’t done the things John was accusing him of yet.

But knowing this story and all the foreshadowing it’s entirely possibly that Caliborn will end up not being Lord English through some turn of events.

Are the alpha kids birthdays the same as the beta guardians? i.e: Bro's birthday and Dirk's being the same? Or Jane and Nanna's, etc? Sorry, I'm confused about this. (The date, not the year of course)

The Alpha kids’s birthdays are the same as their Beta kid counterparts.

Dirk’s is the same as Dave’s

Jane’s is the same as John’s and so forth.

How long did the beta trolls session last?

612 hours, so 25 and a half days.

what is the best thing to say to somebody to try and get them into homestuck?

“Do you like wasting long periods of time?? Do you like intricate, confusing plot points??? Do you hate yourself so much that you’d hate marry yourself if you could???? Do you enjoy lengthy stories that break the typical model of storytelling????? Do you enjoy interactive flash games, beautiful artwork, and never knowing what exactly is doing on?????? Then boy do I have a story for you!”

How does one ascend to God Tier when one's dream self is dead?

The Sacrificial Slabs located in the center of Derse and Prospits’ moons function the same way as Quest Beds but don’t require two lives left.

I think the ask about the sprites not having noses, I think the asker meant that when characters are drawn in their sprite form (as opposed to in Hero Mode, Hussnasty Mode, or by the Art team [which by the way the screenshot you replied with was]) they don't have noses or arms.

I know, I realized that as soon as I answered it.  Hussie draws the sprites in an as minimalist style as possible to allow the reader to interpret how the character actually looks.   

Is it possible that with the retcon timeline, since Vriska never died, then Tavrisprite would just be Tavrosprite and Jane would have her own sprite to guide her on her planet (maybe)?

But are the beta guardians birthdays included in the mix? Someone was telling me yesterday that Dave's Bro's is the same as Dirk's. Is that true? Sorry, I don't mean to be annoying and repetitive. I thought they would've mentioned it in the comic if they all had the same birthday as their guardian, lol.

I dunno, guardian birthdays are never really mentioned in canon.

How was Jake able to communicate with Jade pre-Sburb?

Lotus Time Capsule.

I know Jade never got a Talksprite, but did the alpha kids get ones? If so can you give me the links?

Dirk has one

Did other Dave sprite himself to gain sprite knowledge or to keep the number of Daves in the Alpha-timeline to a minimum? Can Dave take other people to different timelines? What do you think would've happened if other Dave hadn't spirited himself?

He probably did it to help Alpha!Dave.   No, he can’t take people to other timelines.

If Dave hadn’t jumped into the sprite he would have died and Alpha Dave would have been stuck with Calsprite.

Quick question! What happened to Jack Noir from Caliborn's session?

He’s still around somewhere probably

waaiiittt. Jack Noir is in EVERY session??? whats his purpose if hes in every single session ever played??

He’s an Archeagent of Derse, he’s just a higher up in the Derse army.  

arent there parts in the story where you type 'trickster' and something happens. can you explain that?

In [S] YOU THERE. BOY. if you press ctrl+t you enter trickster mode and can walk through walls.  This easter egg works best in firefox so if you’re using chrome and it’s not working try switching browsers.

GORGEOUS BAB OH MY GOSH

Well golly, I’m flattered, thanks anon.

please tag posts of people/selfies with #eye contact

Consider it done.  I won’t be reblogging anymore but I went back and tagged the two I did.

what happens when the white army wins? like in every session the black army wins and then the players have to defeat him. but is it possible for the whit army to win and you have to kill the white king or does the game just break

They can’t.  Prospit is always destined to lose the war.
