Can a player ascend to god tier if their dream self is dead?

Yes, they just need to use their Sacrificial Slab.

How did Jaspersprite get Rose's dead body to the other universe?

He hitched a ride on Lowas and was able to enter the post-retcon timeline along with John and Roxy.

Do we know any info on the Troll's fight with the Black King?

The trolls’ fight with the Black King isn’t shown in-comic but Karkat mentions that Gamzee landed a pretty powerful attack and that Vriska landed the killing blow. There’s also a really cool fanmade Flash video of the battle that you may want to check out.

I was scrolling through your blog and I saw the ask about Billious Slick, the universe frog. Is there a reason why he is named so closely to Spades Slick?

Spades Slick changed his name to Slick in reference to Bilious Slick as a big “fuck you” to the Black Queen since he knows she hates the Genesis Frog.

How many people has Vriska killed?

Vriska states here that she’s had to kill thousands of trolls to feed her lusus.

If a player's dream self is dead, how are they expected to get to their sacrificial slab?

Derse and Prospit exist in the same Medium as the player’s planets so they can just leave their planets and go to the moons just like the Alpha kids did.

What's the difference between a sacrificial slab and a quest bed?

A Sacrificial Slab exists in the center of the moons of Derse and Prospit. You only need one life to ascend on those. A Quest Bed is located on the player’s planet and you need both lives to ascend on those.

"The cherubs’ live in the universe the kids’ session will eventually create so we know they complete sburb in the future." I thought they lived on the earth that the beta kids left, but way in the distant future, like how the exiles live on the destroyed planets after the sburb players enter the medium. Because I dont see why the universe created by the kids would include an earth. No hate, just trying to understand this.

The exiles lived on pre-scratch Earth long after the kids had entered the Medium. Post-scratch Earth is the one covered in water. The kids will bring post-scratch Earth into the new universe since Vriska has captchalogued Earth and given it to John then suggested that they live on it in the future. Also the room where the cherubs live is on the meteor that the trolls and Dave and Rose traveled on which has landed on Earth

What flash was savior of the waking world used in?

[S] JOHN. RISE UP.

Wait so if the dream planets exist on the same reality plane as the medium, does that mean that a person's waking self and dream self could meet in person?

One of them would be asleep unless they have developed the ability to be conscious in both bodies like Dirk. But yes, it is possible to meet your own dream self. 

Would you mind giving me some assistance with the [S] update? I know it should be longer, but I can't get past the panorama of Enchidna, Karkat, and Kanaya. I've scrolled down and nothing happened. If you don't mind, could you please help?

That was the only page he uploaded.

Is there any evidence to suggest that a player needs to have only ONE life to use their Sacrificial Slab?

Yes, Jake’s dreamself was killed before the game started and he was able to ascend on his Sacrificial Slab. See also Dave and Rose’s main bodies dying and ascending on their slabs with their dream selves. Aradia was also able to ascend on her slab with one life.

A client player controls the server player's environment, right?

No, it’s switched. The server controls the client’s environment.

Do we ever see Aradia's lusus?

Yes, on this page.

Is It Ever Stated In The Comic That Gamzee Has A Flushcrush On Tavros Or Is That Purely A Fandom Based Assumption???

Yes, Gamzee even asks Tavros to visit his hive to make out.

do all sessions have teleporters to prospit and derse? i know b2 did but i don't recall if the others did or not.

Yes, all sessions have those teleporters.

What was Aradia's main role after she went godtier?

She greeted Dave and Rose after they ascended and brought them to the  meteor. She’s been mostly hanging out in the dream bubbles and she went on Vriska’s treasure hunt. She was last seen here.

So, to clarify, should your dream self or your own self already be dead by the time you reach your quest bed, you cannot ascend to God Tier. However, a sacrificial slab only requires the dream or regular self? What do you ascend to on a sacrificial slab? Thanks~ ☺️

You’re correct. You ascend to god tier on your Sacrificial Slab.

Can sprites die? Also, was Dave actually sad about his Bro's death or not?

Yes, sprites can die. See Fefetasprite and Tavrisprite dying and Davesprite dying in the post-retcon timeline. Dave was probably a little upset about Bro’s death.

A regular session requires at least 1 space and 1 time player correct? And if they don't have those 2 the session is null?

Yes.

Are Dirk and Jake stlll boyfriends??? if not please put a link to where they break up/where you get to know it

No, Dirk broke up with Jake on this page.

How did Vriska kill Tavros?

She jabbed him in the chest with his lance in [S] Wake.

Was Dirk actively conscious on Derse and Earth at the same time?

Yes.

How is Echidna pronounced?

ee-KID-nuh, I think

When did Jake and Dirk start going out?? I've been trying to find the page for ages???

They started going out after they entered their session and were a couple for around 5 months. Jake calls Dirk his boyfriend here

What happened to pre-retcon Dirk? After John talked to him, that is.

It seems that he was consumed by the stardust glitches on this page. 

Caliborn's session couldn't possibly create a new universe because it lacked Skaia, Echidna, a Space Player, etc., so what reward did he get upon winning?

The white juju shaped like a house was part of his boon. He was also granted unconditional immortality and an unlimited supply of destructive power. 

Is there a reason Derse hates the genesis frog? Or is it just default

They hate the Genesis Frog because they don’t agree with the player’s goal of creating a new universe and want to stop them. The Prospitians and the consorts however worship Bilious Slick.

Could a non-time player be able to travel through time?

If they had the Time player’s time-traveling devices like when Gamzee used the Music Boxes then yes. 

Did Kurloz sew his mouth closed before or after he died?

Before. He did it because he felt guilty about hurting Meulin’s ears when he screamed that one time and caused her to go deaf. 

At what point did aradia get god tier, considering she was dead when she entered?

During [S] Wake we see that her dream self was asleep on her dream slab at the center of Derse. Once Bec Noir destroyed the moon and killed her dream self she ascended.

When did Gamzee use the music boxes?

At the end of this Flash game you can see him with them.

is meulin entirely def or just partially def, like is she just really hard of hearing or can she not hear at all.

Meulin can’t hear at all which is why she types in all caps since she cannot hear how loud she speaks.

Did culling actually mean something else on Beforus or is that just a headcanon??

Culling on Beforus meant being adopted by a highblood and being coddled.

What do we do after homestuck ends?

Play Hiveswap, keep reading Paradox Space and indulge ourselves in whatever Hussie’s next project is.

Andrew hussie actually showed uncensored nudity in the page [S] DD: Ascend more casually

That was actually the same newspaper that Diamonds Droog was reading way back on page 004481.

When did dirkjake becum canon? (Started dating)

It was not shown in canon when they started but it was most likey shortly after they entered their session.

Was dirk awake on derse and earth at the same time?

Yes, but he could only control one body at a time.

What would happen if someone died at the start of the game, but then they somehow end up on a god tier bed? Like if they died and didn't resurrect.

Aradia

Didn't Hussie said that he was stoppping creating new content on mspa after Homestuck ends ?

I dunno, but mspa isn’t his first site so I’d imagine if he stopped making mspa content then he’d start something new on a different site.

Hi, I never got what the dreamselfs were for. Thank you.

They are extra lives essentially.

What happens if you have more than one life left and you die on the Sacrificial Slab? Also, since Sollux had two dream selves and presumably two Sacrificial Slabs, does that mean if he'd died on his planet's Quest Cocoon that he would have gone god tier?

If you die on a sacrificial slab with more than one life then your other lives die.  And yes, if any troll were to die on their Quest Cocoon with an alive dreamself then they would ascend.

Seriously though, would the lava kill the knocked out Karkat?

Echidna, the denizen that requested he stay alive is literally around the corner, she won’t let him die right on her doorstep.

This might be a bit personal but what Homestuck ships do you like?

For future reference I’ve added this to the faq, but here you go.

What happens if you say Caliborn's name? Does something happen?

When two cherubs still share a body saying the name of the one that is asleep forces the personalities to switch.  Like if you said Caliborn to Calliope back when they had the same body Calliope would go to sleep and Caliborn would wake up.  Calliope told Roxy her name because she feared Caliborn was up to something and would try to predominate (which he did)

Why is Jack a constant in each session?

He is always supposed to help take down the Black Queen whether on his own or while working with the players.

Could a sprite prototype another sprite?

Yes, see Jasprosesprite^2

Could a troll use one of the kids' quest beds/sacrificial slabs provided they shared an aspect, or must they use the ones from their own session?

That remains to be seen but there are a lot of theories that players who share the same aspect can ascend on the other person’s Quest Bed.

do you think that each class has their own personality? with personal variations and twists, of course. like how dave, karkat, and latula project a persona? how tavros and jake are wieners? how vriska and meenah are competitive, mean, and generally selfish? things like that.

Yes, it seems that classes do share some similar traits. 

When you think about it, nepeta's beta and alpha selves were pretty fucked up. One was screwing Jesus and the other was fucking satan. Nepeta isn't too far off from her beta ancestor though, with wanting to be redroms with karkat

The Handmaid isn’t Nepeta, she’s actually Damara’s post-scratch incarnation and the Handmaid wasn’t sleeping with Lord English. The Disciple (Meulin’s post-scratch self) and the Handmaid are both post-scratch ancestors who are two separate people.
