do u guys ever get rly obvious questions?

This is a really obvious question

Is Tavrosprite the same version of Tavros that went treasure hunting with Vriska? I know most of the pre retcon characters were erased but Treasure Hunting!Tavros was in the dream bubbles at the time, which seems to be unaffected by the retcon

The pre-retcon characters weren’t erased, they still exist. But no this isn’t that Tavros.

Kanaya didn't know her skirt was red? I think I missed that part? ???

Kanaya didn’t known Karkat’s blood was red.

is there any explanation for sollux's "half deadness" besides "cause sollux"?

I got a new laptop and need to save my game at the end so I'm ready for the upd8, but I'm not sure how many pages there are? Could you post a link to the most recent page?

You couldn’t just go to the last page yourself? I don’t understand but whatever, here you go.

What would happen if someone fell asleep after their moon (Prospit/Derse) blew up/Got destroyed? Like with the trolls. Can they still sleep or would it be bad for them to sleep?

It was bad for them, until Feferi had the Horrorterros make special dreambubbles for her and her friends to go to when they dream or die.

How exactly were the alpha and beta trolls created? If they're not clones of each other, how are the dancestors related?

Karkat’s group are clones of themselves while Meenah’s group is a mishmash of the trolls from Karkat’s group.

I've started catching up on upd8s, but do I really have to go in the loop and re-read all the old shit I've already read when John is following Terezi's instructions about where to zap to?

Yes

Has it been revealed how GCAT was created yet? Did we see it ectobiologized?

We see Jane with Gcat at an ectobiology station in [S] Act 6 Act 6 Act 1, so it’s likely that Jane made Gcat.

Does Jake has sprite in this timeline?

Nope

Jade said that they were sleeping, not dead. Does that mean you go to the spiral if you sleep while your dreamself is dead?

You go to the dreambubbles if you are dead or asleep.

is it ever said that only high bloods can be sea dwellers, or is it just that the only ones in the comic are high bloods?

Only high bloods can be seadwellers

when davesprite died from being on the planet that exploded with this new timeline's old john, will davesprite live in dream bubbles now or will he just cease to exist?

The Dave that prototyped himself is now in the dreambubbles, but the sprite is no more.

Has there been any panels that show how rosesprite looks like? Or anything that shows a canon look?

You can see her on this page. 

What are fraymotifs?

Fraymotifs are powerful special attacks that can be purchased by the heroes from their consorts. Each player has three personal fraymotifs and one combo for each of the other players. For example, John has 6, three for him and one for Rose, Dave, and Jade. 

How did it go down with the black king?

The Beta kids’ Black King was killed by Jack Noir. The trolls killed their Black King. The Alpha kid’s Black King was killed by the Courtyard Droll.

I may be mistaken but when Nanna was talking to fedora freak did she mention something about the lady raising her not being human? Does that mean she has Janes memories or?

Nanna and Grandpa were raised by the Condesce who is a troll. Jane was raised by Dad Crocker.

wait so why are bec and the white dog lady chasing eachother? are they like kismesis or? whats the white dogs name anyways?

The white dog lady is Peregrine Mendicant prototyped with the same powers as Bec Noir. She’s chasing Bec Noir because he murdered her friends during [S] Cascade. While Bec Noir has flushed feelings for her, she has blackrom feelings for him.

why is karkat smiling in the recent upd8????

Sarcasm

I'm not sure exactly where things started changing after the retcon and it's been so long since I've read hs, I've got slightly confused. Kanaya's currently grey rather than white, so is she still a rainbow drinker or can she just turn off her light now?

She’s still a rainbow drinker. Porrim taught her how to turn it off.

why did lowas explode??

Typheus destroyed the planet because he knew that GameOver! John would bring his planet with him to the retconned timeline. 

* angry Superwholock ask *

Homestuck began in 2009

Bendicklee CUmperpants will eat your spaghetti!!!!!!!! OOOOooooOoOOoooOoOOOOOOOooooooOo........

Speaking of Ben, Dave’s sunglasses in Homestuck were once owned by Ben Stiller

You fuckin piece of shit. Supernatural is loads better than your fucking Homosuck trash.

Speaking of loads, low-blood trolls refer to toilets as load gapers

UMM??? HOW DARE YOU MOCK AND MAKE FUN OF SUPERWHOLOCKS??????? ARE WE JUST A JOKE TO YOU?? HOMESTUCK ISN'T EVEN GOOD HOMESTUCK IS FUCKING GARBAGE YOU'RE FUCKING GARBAGE

Speaking of garbage, Dave once put a smuppet in the garbage disposal

what are chereubs?? this seems like a stupid question, i know, but my friend has me all confused because she's saying theyre trickster angels, but i dont know.

Aranea explains what cherubs are here but essentially they’re a race of green aliens with an exoskeleton that hatch from eggs. They hatch as a snake and then pupate into a humanoid creature. Two personalities are present in the body and while one is asleep, the other will be awake. One personality is benevolent and the other is malevolent. Eventually one personality will dominate and have complete control of the body, which is signaled by their cheek swirls filling in. When they grow up, they grow either white or black wings for good and evil, respectively. 

Homestuck is a thing, but Superwholock is THE thing.

John Egbert does the windy thing

2 2 1 b t a r d i s i m p a l a s h e r l o c k d o c t o r d e a n w a t s o n r o s e t y l e r w i n c h e s t e r

what exactly is the point of the horrorterrors existing in the game? they seem to have very little to do with the rest of the picture with derse, prospit, skaia, and the general completion of Sburb.

They whisper information to the Derse dreamers and that is they’re advantage in the game just like the Prospit dreamers are able to look in the clouds of Skaia and see certain events. 

I do the Superwholock thing.

John almost did that once too

I apologize on behalf of the Superwholock fandom They should not act like that seeing as most of the fandom is comprised of adults. Thank you for not going off on them. Again I'm sorry for the actions of those in my fandom (Btw Your usage of the smuppet in the garbage disposal was great!)

No need to apologize, I pretty much asked for this just so that I could reply with random facts and totally not acknowledge their threats/claims

SUPERWHOLOCKS ATTACK!!!!!!!!! ):<

One time John was attacked and his hammer got broken so he fought an imp by launching things out of his sylladex

you said you would reply to superwholock hate with "random homestuck facts", but these facts are technically not random, since they are obscurely related to the hate in question.

I'm not a superwholock, but I NEED FACTS!!

Once Dave couldn’t drink his aj because he kept thinking about troll pee

Can I get a random Captor fact?

One time Sollux looked out a window

Whose session is the b1 one? Whose session is the b2 one? Whose session is the a1 one? Whose session is the a2 one? Sorry, the those names for the sessions confuse me •~• oh and by which name of that similarity would Caliborn's be??? Thanks.

The A1 session was Meenah’s, the A2 session was Karkat’s, the B1 session was John’s, and the B2 session is Roxy’s. Caliborn’s session would presumably be C1 going by the pattern.

Is it possible trolls could be asexual, but only in certain quadrants? I don't seem to remember Vriska having any black relationships.

Vriska had a kismesisstude with Eridan before sgrub started but broke it off with him later on. I don’t see why trolls couldn’t be asexual.  

What is the glitchy stuff around where Dirk is?

Those are star dust glitches caused by Caliborn clogging up the Act 6 Act 6 cartridge on this page. 

forgive me if i'm wrong, but isn't karkat jade's patron troll?

Yes

can you tell me what a kismesis and an auspistice is? (I know it's a really stupid question)

A kismesis is your caliginous partner. An auspistice is your ashen mediator. A kismesis is an especially potent arch rival that you find attractive. An auspistice is a troll who keeps you from developing a kismesissitude with another troll.

this is probably a silly question but why does vriska have both eyes now? is it because she ascended to god tier?

Yes it is because she ascended. 

I thought an auspitice is a troll who basically keeps your kismisitude from becoming unhealthy, not like a kismisis cock block

No an auspistice, as stated on this page, keeps a feud between two trolls from becoming a kismessitude.  

Has the thing about ascending with dreamselves on Questbeds and without on sacrificial slabs been confirmed? Or is it just a theory based on the ascensions we've seen so far? And where did the name "sacrificial slab" come from?

Calliope uses the term here and mentions that since the Alpha kids have no more dream selves that dying on their Quest Beds would do them no good and that they need to use their Sacrificial Slabs at the center of Derse and Prospit’s moons. 

You guys are a blessing to this earth for answering these questions. This blog has helped me understand homestuck more and I'm very grateful

Thank you and I’m glad you enjoy the blog. 

If a death is neither just nor heroic, say, the player is sitting around doing nothing, and someone kills them, or, say, if they are neutral and got caught up in the fight somehow, what happens to the player?

If they’re a Godtier then they’ll be resurrected.  

Is there any other deaths other than 'Just' and 'Heroic'? Not like the 'die-and-come-back, but is there a third permanent death for godtier?

No, Just and Heroic are the only ones. 

Can a troll be in more than one quadrant with someone? For example, like if their matesprit wanted to auspisticize between them and someone else.. Is that allowed? o3o

The relationships in the quadrants can malleable especially in the concupiscent half. One trolls could have black feelings while the other has red feelings. This can cause them to vacillate between the two quadrants.  I’m not sure about the matesprit also serving as an auspistice, that seems like it would be a difficult relationship. 

Me and my friend are fighting over if Eridan went grimdark or not, I know he didn't but she still says that he did. So did he really go grimdark or nah?

No, Eridan never went grimdark. The panel where people say his skin looks darker than usual is because of the color contrast. 

I have not read Homestuck but I know few things and have a question. Is Sburb Sgurb is like a game yes? So when characters die do they die just in game or do they die real life too? (English is not my first language sorry)

Sburb/sgrub is just a way for them to enter the Medium which is another dimension. So yes, if they die in game it can be permanent. 

is johnkat canon?

No it is not.
