Where is PM?

Right behind Bec Noir

is Dave's eye color being red, canon or fanon?

Canon

do you think its bad to watch the lets watch homestuck? im up to date now, but im wondering if i have to go read from the start bc eveyrone says its bad to watch the youtube vers......

Man, you do what’s best for you. Some peeps can’t read huge chunks of text and would otherwise be turned away from the story if not for shit like lets watch homestuck. It seriously doesn’t matter. The only wrong way to read homestuck is to start on Act 5.

Trolls have to sleep in sopor slime because of the chucklevoodos?

Yes

Can (proper) ghosts leave the dreambubbles?

No

when did jake and dirk first start going out? and why did they break up exactly?

They started going out right after they entered.

And they broke up for a number of reasons. Dirk was possessive and overbearing which caused Jake to be distant and to avoid him. The nail in the coffin was during the trickster debacle Jake told Dirk that he was going to marry Jane and have like 50,000 babies and Dirk broke up with him.

so wait if daves eyes are red does that mean he's canon albino or is it just style stuff?

Dirk’s eyes are Orange, Rose’s eyes are Purple, it’s just the style. But headcanon what you want.

I'm really confused about something but I don't know how to ask it without sounding rude. People are saying Davepeta is canonly nonbinary but didn't they say they felt distinctly like a boy AND a girl. Wouldn't that make them bi-gendered, not nonbinary?

To my understanding bigender is a nonbinary identity.

How many "selves" a regular player has? If I'm counting right, they have their original/pre-Sburb selves, their dreams selves, after they die, they become get a ghost self, but if the dream self dies, there is a dream ghost self. Is it right?

Yes, so 4 I suppose.

where does it say that trolls have school?

Read the source on the fact man, that’s why we provide those

It is confirmed in canon John will die right? I am trying to remember and i believe doc scratch said he would

Doc Scratch said that if John did die permanently it would certainly be a heroic death. He was not saying John would die, just that when/if he did it would heroic.

Is it possible for dream Jade and alt caliph to meet the rest of the gang without waking up????

Only if the gang flew into the furthest ring

how exactly are the chucklevoodoos associated with sopor and sleep?

Chucklevoodoo has many applications, one of which is to give its victim terrible, violent nightmares. The sopor slime protect the young trolls from being victims of the spooky power. Since sopor slime is a light green it’s been theorized that one of the reason the Lime-blood trolls were hunted to extinction was that they held a natural immunity to chucklevoodoos or had a way to combat it.

Why did post retcon LOWAS explode?

So that pre-retcon Lowas could take it’s place

What happened to pre-retcon Jade?

She died

didn't doc scratch say "when the heir of breath dies for good, it won't be as a scoundrel"? implying that john will die, hence the when.

Well of course John will die at some point, not even immortals can live forever. I don’t see it happening in story though.

Do we know for a fact that the Caliborn who is a self proclaimed "professional man-gaka" is the SAME Caliborn who is a part of LE? Because it really doesn't seem like it.

We do not, and I am actually a fan of the theory that we’ve been following a doomed Caliborn.

At the last page of Act 5 Act 1 are those legit earth constellations?

Yes

Is john supposed to be the main character?

John is a main character. Homestuck doesn’t have a single main character.

how does )(IC have all of the blood caste specific powers??

Faq

how did all the lusii get to post-scratch earth? was Gl'bgolyb near jake's house too??

The Condesce brought them

Just saying your link in the sidebar to the FAQ doesn't seem to be working. The top one still does though.

Thank you for letting me know! I changed the faq’s url and I forgot to change the link in the sidebar. It should be good now >: ]

Do we know how powers are distributed in the troll castes? Not every troll gets an ability, but what I mean is, for example, 1) can only ceruleanbloods be born with vision eightfold? 2) Likewise, is vision eightfold the only ability ceruleanbloods can have (are there more powers we haven't seen yet)? I've been thinking about this for a long time and haven't found any solid answers. Thanks for any help / speculation you can offer! <3

We don’t know how the powers are distributed within the castes so I don’t have any tips to give you, sorry. Hopefully Hiveswap will clear some of that stuff up when it’s released.

okay so the hs wiki says in regards to the ring of void and ring of life "when one goes missing the other is miraculously found". well in caliborn's claymation ACT6ACT6. php?s=6&p=009316 he says that later he gets the ring of void. atm calliope is wearing the ring of life so does that mean callie is going to lose the ring of life and be dead again when caliborn acquires the ring of void?? also where did the ring of life come from cuz i know the void one was the post-scratch black queen ring.

The Ring of Life came from Hussie’s self-insert. He tried to propose to Vriska with it and she turned him down.  As for if Callie will lose the ring, only time will tell.

What are your thoughts on the theory that doomed gamzees mutate into horrorterrors

I’ve never heard of that theory, but I don’t think I’d agree with it.

Why are there so many Aradiabots?

The trolls had a lot of doomed timelines

Only purple bloods can have chucklevoodoos. Also Lowbloods have a much higher probability of having powers (hence helmsmen being lowblood psionics). Also only Jadebloods can be rainbow drinkers

That’s not what the person was asking. They were essentially asking what percent of a blood caste gets the powers. 

Wait people are saying homestuck ended with this upd8 that's not true right??

No, it is a joke. But if it did end now I would be perfectly satisfied.

what if the (best) person to fight LE was LE?

*x-files theme starts playing*

You two are a blessing to this fandom

Mod T is a major cutie pass it on

Why don’t you pass it on yourself?

I need to ask an important question; who's your favorite, Equius Zahhak or ARquiusprite.

Oh god, um, um, um, how can you make me choose?? Equius is amazing on his own, but he’s just so much happier as Arquius. I think I’m gonna have to go with Arquius.

some friends don't believe me. Can you find some proof that acts 1-5 was about a day for the kids and a few hours for the trolls?

It was just over one day for the kids

Act 5 Act 1 (aka Hivebent) was over the course of about three weeks though. And the trolls were on the meteor talking to the kids for only a number of hours.

I'm sorry if this was asked many times before, but why did HIC needed the alpha kids to enter the game?

She needs them to create a new universe for her to rule over and restart her empire.

so im confused, what is daves sexuality?

We don’t know exactly quite yet, it’s just not straight.

Can you list a few of Nepeta's interests

Friendly roleplay, wearing the pelts of the animals she kills, making comics and shipping of course

I have mem probs and cant remember certain stuff so im sorry for askin this but who are the jacks and here did they come from and like whats in them. I kno bec is the beta kids jack and he has jades dog in it but whats up with the white one and stuff

PM is from the beta kids session and she’s chasing Bec Noir because he killed AR and attempted to kill WV.

Spades Slick is from the trolls session. He is currently in command of the Felt and works against Lord English but mostly his interests are money.

Jack English / Union Jack is the alpha kids Jack. He’s been possessed by Lil Cal and just wants to destroy.

Where is Casey?

Still on Lomax, Jake’s planet.

Where did Damara go after Hussie self-inserted and started beating Doc Scratch?

She was kidnapped by Lord English.

What page was it that Dave told Dirk something to do with the sound of metal? It was when it was just the two of them

Here.

How exactly can an alive person enter a dreambubble?

Use a fenestrated panel or just fly to the bubble yourself.

what made MS paint have to take care of Spades Slick

Hussie saved Spades Slick after the troll’s universe was destroyed. He and Ms Paint nursed him back to health. 

Why during 'ministrife' we see so many different versions of the same characters together? They would reappear during Tavros confrontation with post-ret Vriska and Meenah, and I can't quite understand it yet.

Those ghosts have come from different timelines.

what is retcon?

The series of changes Terezi had John make to the timeline, the ones on her scarf.

Can I ask why you think this pause will end October 25th? :o

It’s the anniversary of S Cascade and S Game Over.

Is Calliope a derse or prospite dreamer? What about Caliborn?

Calliope is Prospit dreamer and Caliborn is a Derse dreamer. 

Has it ever been canonically stated that kanaya is a lesbian? Thanks

From Hussie’s formspring

were the lusii on Jake's island due to them being brought there by the condesce?

Yes.

Since there were no adult Trolls on Alternia, where were they? Also, around what age might they have left?

The adult trolls were all banished into outer space to conquer new planets to expand the Condesce’s empire. It isn’t mentioned what age constitutes as an “adult”.

can you explain how the whole thing went down with damara and doc scratch? like how did she get there in the first place?

Post-scratch Damara’s meteor was intercepted by Doc Scratch and he raised her and trained her to use clockwork majyyks. She grew up to become the Handmaid and went into the service of Lord English.
