is it canon that eridan stutters on his vs and ws???

He doesn’t stutter, he has an accent.

I recall you said all of the trolls in Karkat's session were based off of superheroes? Who was based off of who?

I found these on Hussie’s old formspring page

Aradia - Jean Grey

Sollux - Cyclops

Tavros - Professor X

Nepeta - Wolverine 

Terezi - Daredevil and Two Face

Gamzee - Joker and Two Face

Eridan - someone from Harry Potter

Kanaya - someone from Twilight

Feferi - underwater hero

Equius - strong guy

Vriska - “ hell, take your pick from her powers buffet”

Karkat - “ :( ………. he has red blood at least!”

I'm really confused about all the Jacks, can you clarify?

Spades Slick is the Jack Noir from Karkat’s session, he changed his name to Slick to make the Black Queen mad since she hates Bilious Slick. Bec Noir is the Jack Noir from the Beta kid’s session. Lord Jack is the Alpha kid’s Jack Noir.

Hey, is Jade's patrion troll Karkat or Tavros? My friend said it was Tavros, and I always thought it was KK. I'm confused.

Karkat is her patron troll. He helped her extensively throughout Act 5 Act 2 and helped her coordinate her plan to escape her session in [S] Cascade. 

its still not clear what happens after they finish the game. was it ever explained?

They go through the door that appears underneath Skaia once Bilious Slick is done growing and enter the new universe. 

Whats a Patron Troll? And how are you assigned one?

For the kids in story a Patron troll is just a troll that helped that specific kid a lot through their session.

Do the Dersites and Prospitians have quadrants? Or is it regular human romance?

Yes, Dersites and Prospitians can experience the full range of quadrants. 

How did Lord Jack happen? I feel like I understand almost everything except that and it is really bothering me.

The Alpha kids’ Jack Noir looked into Lil Cal’s eyes and was possessed by Caliborn. He then stabbed out his eyes and replaced them with Lil Cal’s and cut off one leg and replaced it with a golden spike.

Do you think you can explain Brain-Ghost-Dirk and just how he came to be? Sorry if it's been asked!

Brain ghost Dirk is a projection in Jake’s mind that only he can see. He’s a startlingly close approximation of Dirk’s mannerisms and behavior based on Jake’s intimate knowledge of him. Jake can actually bring him into existence once he tapped his full Page powers.

How did jade get her dog ears? Were they a result of her kernel sprite?

Jadesprite is Jade’s dreamself and she was prototyped with Bec so when Jade died on her Quest Bed, Jadesprite went godtier and she retained some dog features including his ears. 

When did the Red Miles first appear?

Jack Noir first used them to destroy the Dersite and Prospitian armies and part of the Battlefield in the Beta kids’ session. He then used them to destroy Prospit.

Can you still go god tier without a dream self?

Yes, by using your Sacrificial Slab.

How are the Beforan trolls the same as the ancestor, if that makes any sense? Thank you!! xx

The ancestors are the same Beforan trolls just under different conditions. This is mainly seen through the Condesce’s behavior since her and Meenah are very similar.

Do all yellow blooded trolls have the same powers as sollux? Or is it only for certain individuals. Is this the same for mind control with blue bloods and same with the powers of rust bloods?

Aranea states here that blue bloods only occasionally have mind control powers. Vriska states here that yellow bloods sometimes have those abilities like Sollux and that telekinesis is common to rust bloods.  

Whats a rainbow drinker?

Rainbow Drinkers are essentially the Alternian equivalent of Twilight vampires. They can withstand sunlight and radiate light. They can also run very fast. Kanaya and Porrim’s conversation in the Openbound flash games confirms that the condition is directly related to jade blood. Kanaya theorized that jade bloods developed the condition after being in the dark birthing caverns for so long while Rose theorized that they developed the abilities in order to scare away predators from wigglers. 

Can you explain ancestors please?

Ancestors are a concept in troll society that are responsible for contributing a greater proportion of their descendant’s genes than the incestuous slurry from which troll eggs are produced. They share their descendant’s signs, horn shape, and blood color. High bloods tend to put more stock in their ancestor’s existence while low bloods don’t usually care about them too much. Because of the reproduction process of trolls, ancestors are usually long dead before their descendant hatches. However, they may still be alive if they’re a long lived caste.  

When in the story does tavros get his legs amputated?

On this page. 

How do you play sburb with no blips in the system, as in, how do u play as it's supposed to be

Karkat’s session was actually a (fairly) normal one.

what does it all mean

unfollowing bc homestuck sucks

Can you remember the page where Jade's dream self dies sacrificing herself for John's dream self?

It happened during this flash.

is aradias blood colour what is meant when the term "rust blood" is used?

Yes

how did sollux lose his eyes? page source?

Eridan did it. 

How the heckie do you guys know so much

Have you forgotten that I’m actually literally Caliborn? ~Mod T

where did the rose sprite come from

Roxy buried GameOver!Rose on Lowas and Jaspersprite dug her up and prototyped her in Roxy’s kernelsprite. 

When do you learn about Feferi being the Beforan empress?

Aranea speaks about their Empress here.  She never mentions that it was Feferi but we can tell it was her pre-scratch counterpart based the fact that Culling in Beforan society means what Feferi wanted to change it to on Alternia when she was empress.

Wait rose wasn't buried in the lowas wasn't she buried in lopan???

No, Roxy buried her on LoWaS

Hey, has Terezi done anything important? (My friend says that shes just an annoying nobody, and I would like to prove them wrong)

Well, she did write the instructions for John to retcon the timeline which resulted in an infinitely better Alpha timeline where everyone is happy so I would say that’s pretty important. 

How exactly did Kanaya become a vampire? I've always been confused by that. Does it run in her blood color or was it because she was in the game?

It’s because she’s a jade blood.

Would the term "rust blood" refer to Tavros and Aradia or just Aradia? I think Tavros has been called one too but im not sure

Just Aradia I believe. Tavros is referred to as a brownblood

So was Lord English's juju in a dream bubble? Or was it something vriskas' group was passing through in their dream bubble?

No, it was in the Furthest Ring in a dream bubble. 

I was wondering, how did John's dad and Rose's mom end up on Prospit?

I don’t think they ever went to Prospit but they were brought to the Battlefield by Jade’s grandpa on his ship during this flash.

Wait when was John prototyped with a bunny

He hasn’t, it’s just a theory going around since the other Beta kids have been prototyped with their associated animal.

when did dirk kill himself with the sendificator?

At the end of this flash.

you know the imperial drones isn't there a rule if they don't give up genetic material they will kill the troll on site and may you put a link to which pages thats on

The Imperial Drones are mentioned here.

What did Echidna ask Kanaya to do that was impossible?

Kanaya hasn’t revealed that yet.

What made the lime bloods go extinct? Was it Condy or did they eventually die out??

Calliope mentions here that the lime bloods were all “hunted to extinction” so they may have been killed off by Gl'bgolyb by order of the Condesce. 

When did Sollux & Feferi get together? Did Feferi always have feeling for him and he decided to be her matesprite?

Feferi mentions that they’re in a quadrant in this flash and Erisolsprite refers to one half of himself as being her former matesprit when speaking to Fefetasprite on this page. It’s likely that they only became matesprits after sgrub had begun but the details of their relationship and how it started aren’t shown in-comic. 

Hussie explained on his formspring (before the Summoner was revealed I believe) that trolls gain wings as their godtier because in their culture it's universally accepted that godlike beings would have wings. They grow wings as part of their vision of achieving literal godhood. Humanity does not have a universally accepted idea of what a god looks like and so human players do not change appearance to fit their idea of a god.

How did John get to the meteor where he created the paradox clones, how did he get back to LOWAS, and where did his visit to LOLAR fit into this?

While John was on Lolar he found an island and on that island there was a transportalizer which brought him to the meteor in the Veil where the found the ectobiology equipment. After this his dream self woke while Prospit was being destroyed so his main body fell asleep in the ecto lab. The Aimless Renegade finds him and puts him on rocket board and he crash lands on Lowas. 

So what did dirk do that was similar to bro

Dirk sent Brobot to “help” Jake become better at fighting but it ended up being an uneven power balance that Jake expressed on several occasions that he didn’t like. Dirk himself said he was trying to make Jake more tough which probably what Bro was trying to do with Dave but it ended up being this abusive bizarre behavior that wasn’t helpful or okay at all. Bro played a bunch of weird mind games with Dave which made him very uncomfortable and Dirk also does this to Jake. So all in all Dirk has some manipulative tendencies that he needs to work on. 

Do we know why Jasper's secret was?

He whispered MEOW to Rose. This unlocked a genetic code in her mind and she spent years subconsciously writing it on her bedroom walls.

Hi, sorry if this is a dumb question, but what made John draw harlequins on his walls?

Gamzee used chucklevoodoos to create a harlequin doll in John’s dream room which caused John to write self-depreciating remarks on his wall and draw harlequins. 

In a previous ask, someone asked if Hussie had names for the trolls in mind before the audience decided and the Mod who answered their question said it was in Hussie's forumspring (sorry if I misspelled that), but I was wondering if you could link it, or if it's deleted possibly find out what some of those names were?

Here you go.

Do you think that the new alt timeline Calliope speaks in red, because she "triumphed" over Caliborn, much like how Caliborn took her blood color after he killed her?

Yes, that’s most likely the explanation.

what is meant by retcon? i've never fully understood the term, especially in application to homestuck

Retcon means going back and changing something. When people say pre retcon and post retcon, they’re talking about the changes John made to the timeline per Terezi’s instructions. 

Quick question, where is Dave's Strife page?

He has two Strife pages

when did bro deprive dave of food? like, can i have a link?

Dave says here that he has to hide food in his closet.

Can you gimmie a link to when we see the hellsman? My bff said the ancestors wernt in the comic and that they were all fanon made

You can see the Helmsman on this page.  

what was condesce doing in the ship for all those years

She was exploring space and conquering new races and planets.
