What exactly does the bar with the two harlequin mean. I know it was explained at one point but I can't find it

That is the Prankster’s Gambit, it’s a meter that raises and lowers depending on whether the person pranks or is pranked.

How often does the number 413 show up in the comic itself?

There’s a page on the wiki detailing all it’s appearances

What caused Gamzee to go insane (again) right before Game Over? Aranea didn't have control over him anymore, and he seemed somewhat sane when he addressed Terezi.

Gamzee is just a terrible person, he didn’t “go insane” he’s just awful and was acting even worse than usual because he was pissed off that Aranea was mind controlling him.

Howd we learn the trolls god tiers? (Like Sollux,Terezi,Nepeta,Equius,and Kanaya?)

It says them in the narrative on the page when they enter their lands as well as other times throughout the story

Has Kanaya always been a rainbow drinker or was there a transformation caused by something?

There was something that either activated the abilities or transformed her into the undead. It’s possible that it was caused by being exposed to the Witch of Life’s blood or that her corpse was kissed by a Blood player or that she just needed to die in order for her latent abilities to come to fruition. We just don’t know.

if alive vriska is bringing meenah to join her, how will she do it considering that meenahs dead?

They’re staying in the dreambubbles.

what did kanaya do inbetween when she killed eridan and when they met up with the kids?

She changed clothes and helped the blind Sollux up to the roof

So whats the deal with the frogs and why are they important?

The universe is a literal frog

are we ever formally introduced to the all of the alpha trolls?

Yes

Why didnt anyone kiss feferi when she died so that she would come back?

Because her dream self had died and they wouldn’t have been able to revive her.

So basically Dirk and Roxy had kids together?

Dave and Rose are their genetic offspring, yes. 

how did jade get her dog ears?

Jadesprite was prototyped with Bec so when she went she godtier, she retained some canine traits. 

Can you link the pages of karkat crying?

Here and here. I can’t think of anywhere else. 

How many times was Dirk hugged before the 'Strider Glomp'?

Roxy hugged him during [S] Prince of Heart: Rise up and we see him and Jake hugging on Jake’s wallpaper

How did Jadesprite go God Tier?

FAQ, anon.

Why are people always asking you to seek out specific pages for them...? Do they not realize how easy it is to find most of this stuff through google, the wiki, and mspa's search function?

I don’t know I guess it’s just easier to ask us. 

Hey what is the page where john was introduced for the first time?

Here

I remember one of the mods saying their favorite character was Caliborn and i was wondering why? He's not a very common favorite character.

That was me actually and if you send this ask to my personal account which can be found in the FAQ I’d be happy to answer.

Why, when Aradia died, did her spirit wander Alternia rather than wandering a dream bubble?

Because she needed to play Sgrub

Since WP doesnt want info about that going around it would be supportive to OP and WP to not spread it anymore

This blog is about truth and the facts man, I can’t lie to my Public.  

Besides, the info is already out there, people who want to know it are gonna find it out. If I didn’t tell them then they’d just ask somebody else who would.

can I have the link to where we're introduced to the alpha trolls? I've read what there is so far in homestuck and I've only met Meenah and Aranea.

Flash One, Flash Two , Flash Three

did nepkat ever happen?

Nope

*aggressively hates Mod T for hating Gamzee* And to the person who wanted to know why Gamzee went crazy, he had been under Lil Cal's control for a while, Aranea was just controlling his body.

I Don’t Hate Gamzee?? And he wasn’t under Cal’s control. Influenced, sure, but Gamzee has been a terrible person like forever?? You just couldn’t tell because he was doped up all the time. Like what about the timeline where he killed everyone before they even started playing the game, he didn’t have Cal then. Dude’s just a dick.

Where's a good place to start rereading the series? Thanks.

Just start at Act 2 if you don’t want to reread Act 1 

hey (: um, im a little bit confused about aradia and how she died and came back to life? um, thanks in advance

She was killed by Sollux under Vriska’s mind control. And she came back as her Dreamself when it ascended.

do you know how gamzee got one of john's hammers in cascade i think it was?

I do not, that has not been explained in canon.  It could have something to do with his Jokerkind Strife Specibus or some Time Shenanigans, but again, I’m not sure.

If there was a session with only one of the necessary aspects (Only has Time, or only has space), would their session fail?

Yes, it would be a Doomed Session

Okay, but Gamzee has been a victim of neglect and sexual harassment (by his friends and his lusus) and those things can cause depression and PSTD and tl;dr his friends deserved it, sort of? Esp. Eq, who was using Gam for his kinks.

Okay so even if he was mentally ill, does he still get off scoot free for murdering people, severely abusing someone, decapitating and making out with a corpse, and sexually harassing people? The answer is no, so get your Gamzee-apologist ass with your white-serial-killer defense out of my inbox. Gamzee is a douche, mentally ill or not, end of story.

why did Hephaestus want to use the forge if all it does is change the players climate? And, where is he now?

He also needs it for his blacksmithary

Is it possible for a session to have an odd number of players?

Caliborn

Could a session potentially succeed with only two players, a Time and a Space?

Sure, it’d be tough but it’s probably do-able

Can you list all the people/trolls vriska has screwed over?

Everyone, she literally screwed over everyone.

Mod T sounds like a Karkat fan.

I love all homestuck characters

would post-scratch damara/the handmaid still have spoken japanese as pre-scratch damara did?

No, language is learned and not genetics. So unless Doc Scratch taught her japanese she wouldn’t have spoken it.

With the Gamzee thing, Anon, he is an asshole, and he's NOT a good person, but personally, I still like him. I like him for who he was, and I can appreciate the character development he's gone through, to nice little clown to murderous villain. I still love him, but I can acknowledge that what he's done is bad and he's a villain, not a perfect baby.

Good Gamzee fan

if the Kings have sceptres then does that mean there is possibly a sceptre of hope and heart for the white and black king respectively in the alpha kids session?

No because the Kings of the Alpha kid session never transformed out of their Chess Piece form and then were blown up.

do you think Vriska will be successful in fighting Lord English?

No, she’s gonna get roasted

Are there Equius/Eridan direct interactions? I can't find a pesterlog of those two :0

No, but we know they’ve interacted because Equius says Eridan’s romantic advances make him uncomfortable.

I'm sorry if you've already answered this before, but what are the current ages of all the kids?

They are all 16 currently

Woah woah woah what??? When was Gamzee sexually harassed by his lusus?

I believe they intended for the sexual harassment to be from Equius, but even that is pushing it.

What happened to the trolls planets? Their beds?

Bec Noir exploded all that

Does nepeta ever call Karkat KarKitty in canon?

Nope

Wait, so if the Beta Kids are now 16, and they started off 13, and the game all takes place on the same day, did the game last 3 years and then resets their ages to the day they started or else when did they age up? Sorry if this doesn't make sense. >~<

They spent three years travelling to the Alpha kids’ session.

What was the significance of CD blowing up the battlefield (back in act 6 I think?)

Killed the Kings, and now there’s space for the Beta kids’ Battlefield.

However, Nepeta did call Karkat "Karcat" Once.

That is true

What I find funny about the Vriska and (Vriska) interaction is that Vriska is berating her for trying to take on Jack by herself and how selfish it is and it shows no growth blah blah blah. But then immediately after she says something along the lines of "Haha. Stay here being sad and irrelevant. I'm going to do something relevant, like defeating Lord English" Like, anyone see that? She's doing the same thing all over again, except with Lord English instead.

Vriska severely lacks self awareness. 

What page shows Caliborn's Jack?

Here.

this might seem rude but holy fuck do any of ur anons even READ homestuck bc most of their questions make it seem like they merely skimmed the comic instead of actually reading it

Did Kanaya stay a rainbow-drinker even through the retcon?

Yes

Just to make sure, what do troll tongues look like in canon?

Gray
