so what are all the villains' goals at the moment?

The Condesce wants to kill Lord English and build up a new empire in the new universe. Lord English wants to kill everything, specifically Calliope. Jack English most likely has the same goals as LE. Bec Noir’s goals right now are unknown. Spades Slick also has unknown goals.

When did Dave catalog a copy gost brain of himself?

Answered this here

I have sort of a silly question regarding troll romance based on some things I forgot about the quadrants. Is it possible to have a following scenario where Troll A has a matespritship with Troll B, but also is moirail with Troll C; however, Trolls B and C don't get along and there are spades between them. Troll D then meddles as clubs, trying to keep their relationship functional. Like, is it really possible?

Yes, from my understanding of quadrants that is possible. 

Please stop saying Kanaya is a lesbian. All trolls are canonically Pansexual.

Hussie said that himself on his formspring, if you want to argue about it just message him on his twitter

jake and Jane aren't the parents, they're the grandparents

They’re biologically the parents.

Ok but where's Damara (post scratch) now? With Condesce ?

She was killed by the Condesce. 

What ever happened to Grandpa Harley? I know he's dead, but time shenanigans happened, and he was doing stuff after Jade and Co. started playing the game. Is he still in the Medium?

FAQ, anon.

What jack noir is Jake English and tavros supposed to fight??

They’re going to confront Spades Slick.

How did equius' dream self die??

Bec Noir killed him.

What were to happen if you were to scratch an already scratched session.

It would kind of be useless since a scratch switches the players and you would have the same circumstances as the first attempt. 

Why did tc kill damara?

The Handmaid challenged her as the next servant of Lord English and the Condesce won. 

Who of the ancestors are alive? And where are they all?

All trolls in the A universe were killed by the Vast Glub save the Condesce since she is a fuchsia blood and eleven of the troll players since they had already escaped to the Medium. Sollux didn’t survive because Karkat didn’t get him into the Medium in time but Feferi later revived him. 

Which troll's dream self were killed by bec noir and which trolls still have a troll dream self? Doesn't karkat?

All of the trolls’ dream selves were killed by Bec Noir when he destroyed Derse and Prospit.

do you think the condesce will help defeat lord english?

Hasn’t she already? She made Dirk and Roxy ascend (purposefully) so that they could eventually fight him.

Do you think Jake and Tavros are going to fight Spades Slick, or are they going to gain a (sort of) ally who hates LE and wants to punch his skull face?

Tavros won’t be going with since he’s grounded. As for the Jake/Slick meeting I see two possibilities. Either A) he gains an ally like you suggested or B) Jake mentions his last name is English and Slick tries to beat him up.

why doc stratch acts like a doll next to hussie?

Doc Scratch is a doll in every sense of the word.

Can a troll have two moirails?

No

whats ur fave frequently forgotten fact

Karkat only fought with one Sickle. He has never been seen dual-wielding and likely can’t since his Strife Specibus is Sicklekind and not 2xSicklekind

How does Karkat feel about the blackrom with Terezi and John

He doesn’t seem against it.

So according to this information regarding the public availability of Sburb/Sgrub in human and troll societies/market, this means that headcanons where other children/humans entered the game and lived/are living their own adventures are plausible and supported by the official canon, whereas headcanons where other trolls (not included amongst the 24 we know) entered the game are not?

Nope, other trolls playing has no basis in canon. Although if you want to write a fanventure there are definitely ways around it. In a fanventure I was planning three years ago one of my trolls was supposed to play with Sollux but he booted him in preference for someone else after he sent the code and my old fantroll copied it and sent it to their friends and that was how they played.

How can regular people of average learning capacities acquire Rose's and Dirk's extensive vocabulary?

Books

Where does it say the alpha trolls' age? I've heard the 9 sweeps thing quoted a number of times but I thought it was just fanonised because its a neat +3 (units) mirroring the kids' age differences. How do we know?

They were six sweeps old when they started sgrub and stayed in their session for three sweeps before starting the Scratch.

Is it confirmed that John's Dad's biological mother is Nana/Jane? And he's John/Popop's biological son in the post-scratch universe? Or is he just some weird entity that bridges the universes????

Dad Egbert is Nanna’s son and Dad Crocker is Poppop’s son. 

it says they were created from the grandpa/grandma slime. they're the grandparents not parents

From Hussie’s formspring.

Doesn't the Condesce work for Lord English? I thought she and the Handmaid fought because the Condesce wanted to be associated with Lord English's power, so she killed the Handmaid and then began working for/with him?

The Condesce was forcibly recruited into Lord English’s service. 

Do you think Arquius will prototype with one of the other sprites?

No, because he’s already been prototyped twice. 

In which pages just Jade go to Cooljamz, or whatever it is called?

Here.

We know that Sburb was a game sold by multinational companies in both Alpha and Beta Earth universes, but what about Sgrub? What's the origin of the codes found by Aradia in the ruins? Billions of years prior to that, what's the origin of the original Sgrub, found by Meenah during her escape to the moon?

Aradia found a Frog Temple in a ruin and sent the code in the ruins to Sollux who adapted it into a computer game. Meenah found the game on her pink moon and had her friends start playing.

Could you please explain the whole scratch thing to me? I'm so confused - I don't get it at all!

The scratch is a release of temporal energy that causes Skaia to switch which portals the meteors go through. It results in a reset universe and a switched set of players.

Would you mind summarizing what happened in the new flash?

We saw a flashbacks to when the Scourge Sisters were little and we saw bunch of people that died wake up as ghosts. Then (Vriska) and Game Over Terezi meet and hugged while looking at the cracks in spacetime.

I read the new update and I'm confused about something, in [S] Terezi: Remember. You can see pre-retcon!Karkat in a Prospit outfit. Does this mean this works as an replacement for his dreamself? Just because of the outfit, will it still work for retcon!Karkat to reach god tier then? (Or maybe this is really stupid reasoning :p)

No, that’s just Karkat’s dead dreamself. Dreamselves have their own ghosts.

the last upd8 let me confused, it shows that every dead in homestuck leaves a ghost, dreamselfs, people who dies on questbeds or even people that are then revived via kisses, did i got that right? if that so, why eridan and eequius leaved a ghost if they were revived via sprite? like, when tavrisprite or fefetasprite ware created their ghosts leaved the dreambubbles until they exploded, and as far i understud erisol and arquisprite^2 escaped with the other sprites or were erased on the retcon

I assumed that the murderstuck trolls waking up as ghost was a thing that happened in the past, not a thing that happened just now.

are there two aradias?

Possibly. That still isn’t exactly clear. We see Sollux with Aradia on 9841 flying unassisted which means he isn’t blind which would indicate a post-retcon Sollux. But we don’t know if the pre-retcon one still exists. Same goes for Aradia.

Why does Terezi say she does not remember in the upd8?

She said she doesn’t remember the lives that Doomed Timeline Terezis lived.

What was the song used in (S) Terezi: Remember?

Do You Remem8er Me

wait when did karkat's dream self die?

Way back in Act 5. He was killed by Bec Noir along with all the other trolls’ (except Vriska’s)  dreamselves.

What does "GO!" mean? I have seen diagrams of where the different characters are and I forgot what "GO!" meant when in reference to trolls.

It means from the timeline where [S] Game Over happens. It’s shorthand for Pre-Retcon.

why is terezi using her mind powers?

Because she wants to?

I understand that Meenah found the original Sgrub in the Pink Moon, but how did it get there? Was it planted there on purpose by Lord English?

Frog Temple on a meteor

When is it mentioned that Dirk likes Anime and My little Pony>

It’s never mentioned that he likes anime but he does like mlp, although strictly academically

not really a homestuck fact but a fandom fact do u remember when toblerone was a meme in the fandom or did i just dream that up

ok, should've put it differently. what is the relevance of her usage right now or is it simply her wanting to remember GO!Terezi's life?

She wants to remember what she did in the GO timeline. Plus it leaves us on a really comfy spot to wait out the omegapause

Are (Vriska) and (Terezi) in a dream-bubble right now? Because I really can't tell.

Yes

do we ever see Aradia's lusus?

Yes

Which human(s) did Nepeta talk to?

Rose is the only one on record

I don't really understand the john's dad/ jane's dad character. Like dave's bro is Dirk and jade's grandpop is Jake and Rose's mom is roxy but john's dad/ jane's dad never has a different scratch self. can you explain him to me?

He is a biological child created by Nanna/Poppop respectively.

Do all seers remember the lives doomed versions of themselves lived?

No

when did jake broke up with dirk?

Dirk broke up with Jake here

Why do sprites fuse with things they touch?

That’s just how sprites work

Is English the trolls first language?

presumably since we’ve never seen them speak anything else except for Damara
