Why does Jasrosesprite^2 want to bring Nepeta back? Not that I dont love Nepeta, im just curious.

Nepeta and Jaspers talked a lot

Was it ever explained how Terezi was able to sense Brain Ghost Dirk?

Brain Ghost Dirk is a figment of Jake’s mind and Terezi is a Seer of Mind and thus could see him

I keep seeing people talk about some Vriska (vriska) meme, and even though I've been in the fandom for a long time I've never heard of it. Could you maybe explain?

It is the best meme

If the dreambubbles are only for the players why Vriska mentions that they should go to see a dreambubble of a version of John who never entered the game?

Let me rephrase, dreambubbles are only for those who are destined to play the game. That John was but didn’t get the chance and so he still gets in.

I've heard people say that The Rogue Class is the most important Class at Endgame, any reason why this might be?

I dunno, prolly cause Roxy (ie a Rogue) is the last chance at reviving the troll race by being able to steal a matriorb from the void. Other then that I can’t see why.

What happened to the version of John who never even played the game at all?

Obviously he died.

I haven't had access to a computer all this week and until Sunday, is it ok if I read without seeing the flashes?

The character selection screens are the only flashes that we’ve had recently and have no real content so you should be fine if you read the upd8s aside from that.

If Nepetasprite becomes a thing how probable is neptavsprite^2 happening?

very low

What are the chances of feferisprite?

Probably pretty bad. Green isn’t fefeta’s color

is it possible for there to be more than one of each aspect in one session?????

That hasn’t been specified. But there is a theory I’m partial to suggesting that as the amount of players increases the aspects divide and get more specific.

I've seen in a lot of panels that trolls are drawn with 4 fingers ,so ,trolls have 4 fingers or its just Hussie that draws all characters that way ?? (I can't remember now )

That’s just Hussie 

Is Jane above average weight in canon, or is that just a widely adopted headcanon?

Based on several of Caliborn’s remarks, it’s canon

have we learned the names of the lands of all the trolls?

Yes, you can see a list here.

Is it true that Sollux is bipolar or is it just a fandom headcanon?

It says on his introduction page that he suffers from bipolar mood swings. 

what was the song that played during the "Vriskagram" flash?

Moonsetter

Why does His Honorable Tyranny have black blood?

From Andrew Hussie’s formspring

Where does it mention that the sun can kill/is bad for trolls?

The Alternian sun is referred to as blistering here and only a few trolls can withstand it. 

Hey, what page/ Act/ act act/ etc does His Honorable Tyranny show up on? Or is he shown? Thanks (:

Here

Why is Jake's last name English and not Harley?

His grandmother, post scratch Jade, knew the Condesce was working for Lord English and that she was afraid of him so Jake’s grandma changed her and Jake’s last name to English as a big “fuck you” to the Condesce. 

Do we know when gamzee and karkat became moirails?

Here.

i thought it was a knight and space? isn't that why karkat went with kanaya? karkat and Dave are both Knights and kanaya and jade are both space players...

Whether or not a session requires a knight class hero hasn’t been stated in-comic. Time and Space players however are required for a session.

i thought the beta kid session didnt have a time or a space player because their session was null or s/t?

The Beta kid’s session does have Time and Space players: Dave and Jade. 

how did aranea mind control gamzee into giving her the ring of life? i thought she could only control trolls lower then her on the hemospectrum

Aranea and Vriska’s mind control powers work on impressionable trolls or trolls with low self esteem, not just trolls lower than them on the hemospectrum. Aranea has had billions of sweeps to hone her abilities so it’s no surprise she was able to control Gamzee.

why are time players necessary ?

In case the session needs to be scratched. The scratch construct is located on the Time player’s planet. 

do the alpha trolls have the same weapons as the beta trolls? ex: Meenah and Fef both have tridents

Most do share strife specibi except for the Megidos. Aradia used whipkind but Damara used two wands. 

Not sure if you've answered this before but Where was nanasprite last seen?

Here is the last page she was seen, I believe. 

If Gamzee was on the meteor with the trolls (and Dave & Rose) how was he able to meet Jane and Caliborn on their planets?

Time travel

I'm seeing all these screenshots of Vriska and (Vriska) fighting/crabwalking, but it's nowhere in my update. Did I do something wrong?

In the fake character select screen if you hover over the old conversations you see what the characters are doing now

is the scratch a process, or does someone just scratch the thingy and boom no more universe. Could someone scratch the universe and fly away from the inciphisphere before ceasing to exist, or would they need to be teleported

You have a bit of time after scratching the Scratch Construct.  And you could fly or teleport

did they knew sburb was gonna destroy the universe and stuff or did everyone just thought it was a fun video game

They thought it would be a fun game : (

was the original reason for jack noir flipping out due to having to wear those awful clothes? if so, was that because john prototyped a harlequin doll pre-entry? and why did the draconian dignitary create earth's first guardian?

Yes, yes, and yes

post/122177462609/was-the-original-reason-for-jack-noir-flipping-out anon was asking WHY the dignitary did that, not if he did

Oh, Vriska mindcontrolled CD  and had him convince DD to do it.

Does everyone's eyes turn white when they die or is that just a troll thing?

It happens to everyone except cherubs. 

What about instances of Eridan and Karkat make their pact to be moirails?

We know nothing about their pact other than that it exists. 

Heya!! I'm wondering, where does it say that dave and Karkat are canonly in a relationship? What pages??

It hasn’t been explicitly stated but Vriska implies it with:

VRISKA: Are KIND of adora8le??
VRISKA: In whatever quadrant that whole situation settled in.
VRISKA: I don’t know, it’s none of my 8usiness really. I just never would have guessed! 

This doesn’t prove anything though

Wait why did Kan get jealous when Vriska had <3 < for Tavros when Kan was <3 for Vriska? I thought troll society was ok with trolls having more then one relationship at the same time, especially it it was two different quadrants?

No man, Vriska was <3 for Tavros back in Hivebent seen here when she manipul8s him into having heart eyes, she’s just crap at showing it. 

why did jack want to kill the alpha kids on prospit and derse?

If you’re talking about when he stabbed Jane here it’s because he was ordered by the Condesce to do that. If you’re talking about this page it’s because Jack was possessed by Caliborn and Caliborn told Jake he would help him ascend to god tier and become powerful. So he controlled Jack into blowing up the moon of Prospit and having Jake go god tier. 

What characters are able to teleport?

Peregrine Mendicant, Bec Noir, Jade, Roxy, John, and Doc Scratch, I believe. 

Did Spades Slick destroy the judgement clock in the retconed timeline, or did destroying it not do anything since Vriska didn't die

It wouldn’t have done anything 

What are the canon ships?

Ships that have been canon:
(Vriska) <3 Doomed John
Dave <3 Terezi
Terezi <3< Gamzee
Vriska <3< Eridan
Eridan <> Feferi
Equius <3/< Aradia
Dirk <3 Jake
Jade <3 Davesprite
Rose o8< Terezi/Gamzee
Kurloz <3 Meulin
Karkat <> Gamzee
Rufioh <3 Damara
Vriska <> Kanaya
Aranea <3 Porrim

Ships that are still canon:
Rose <3 Kanaya
(Vriska) <3 Meenah
Terezi <> Vriska
Kurloz <> Mituna
Mituna <3 Latula
Meulin <> Horuss
Rufioh <3 Horuss (albeit about to break up)
Equius <> Nepeta

Bolded means they happen exclusively Pre-Retcon


if a session only had a doom player (not time, space or void) then would it be classified as a doomed session?

Probably

How many miles are there and what are their names?

There’s 6 and they are:

Red Miles (Unavoidable attack causes by the Queens’ ring)

Yellow Yard (The Yard Stick Hussie places between the two 4th walls that John and Jade traveled between)

Black Inches (Snowman’s whip)

Blue Leagues (the Deep Blue of Weird Plot Shit)

Green Astronomical Units (Mating Cherubs)

Green Miles (Red Miles + Green Sun power)

How many times do sollux and terezi speak in canon?

8

Isn't Dave <3 Karkat cannon now, or is that just speculation still?

Hinted at but not confirmed

In [S] MSPA Reader: Mental Breakdown, was that an original song composed for Homestuck?

Yes, it’s called Moonsetter and it’s from Homestuck Volume 9 that came out in 2012

why does cronus occasionally use '8's in his speech? thank you

.... I thought Arasol was canon, didn't Vriska literally refer to Sollux as Aradia's boyfriend here? /?s=6&p=004146

Yes, but they were like 12/13 at the time. It’s entirely possible (and fits Vriska’s character) that she was just teasing  Aradia in the fashion that pre-teens tend to do.

Is it just a common headcanon that Dave's middle name is Elizabeth?

Yes

hello this blog is incredible you never cease to amaze me it would take me ten years to be able to understand the comic to the level that you two do.

Thanks! I’m just really good at understanding temporal mechanics and how paradoxes work, I’m actually fairly rusty at a lot of the stuff that happens in the comic and have to actively search for stuff to answer alot of the more specific questions.

do aranea and mituna have any canon interactions?

Nope
