is it confirmed as canon that trolls have grubscars?

Nope, just a popular headcanon.

How did the midnight crew die?

When Spades Slick destroyed Lord English’s vault door he was transferred to a timeline where the rest of the Midnight Crew was dead.

If only players can be in dream bubbles, why are lusii and grubs found in Openbound, along with little critters?

Those are projections from the players memories. 

ok. hyper-weird question. explain how trolls reproduce in canon.

Troll reproduction has never been explained in detail in canon, sorry folks.

I read that Roxy was cannon trans. Is that true?

No, but it’s a very good headcanon.

which trolls are dead right now? (other than ones that where dead when we meet them)

Every one except Karkat, Kanaya, Terezi, Vriska, and Gamzee.

No sollux and aradia are also alive

Oh yeah. Those guys are around too.

Dont they send their genetic material via the drones to the mother grub, to be combined in an incestuous slurry that the mother grub uses to create the matriorb, which hatches troll wigglers somehow

I think they meant specifically how the genetic material is dispensed and the details of the reproduction ritual. 

I'm asking for art reasons, but are there any canon images for the Signless' sermons?

Sorry, no. 

What was the first page where Karkat's blood colour was revealed?

Here

Is there anywhere that Feferi uses a slur or something that shows she and aradia don't get along

The only slur I remember Feferi using is here where she uses the r slur. 

How did Jades grandpa die?

A bullet to the chest.

Does jake still like dirk? Or vise-versa?

Dirk says here that he doesn’t have any crushes right now.  

If a player were to have multiple personalities, would the game register them as separate players?

Possibly! It’s never mentioned in canon so you can headcanon that if you like :3

Who is Master Yorgi? Is he a VA?

Yeah, he was active in the homestuck fandom back in 2012, 2013-ish.And his videos were everywhere.

When did bec officially die

He didn’t? He’s still kinda alive as a part of Jade. Since he was alive when he was prototyped and then the sprite became Jade, he never really died

What are the average dimensions for a homestuck panel

Most homestuck panels are 2D, but a few of them in the last two or three years have a pseudo-3D effect going on.

After the Scratch, when did Rose get her strife specibus back? Or is there some other alternate reason why she suddenly has it back

She probably just made a new one, or got the badge that allows her to not need a specibus to use a weapon.

If character have the same name in each universe, why was Vriska's ancestor called Spinneret Mindfang and not just Aranea?

It’s a Title/Nickname, all the ancestors are reference to by Titles or Nicknames. 

On what page did the Rosemary kiss happen? I think I missed it

Here

Did aradia and vriska ever get along in the past?

They used to role play together on separate teams so they might have but after the incident with Tavros, Aradia pretty much hated Vriska.

Is it true aradia has a cannon voice? Ive been hearing that around in some homestuck groups

This song is her accepted voice, I think. 

When did Davekat become canon? I don't remember this happening.

Hussie tweeted this after the update that hinted at their relationship and Jasprosesprite^2 says here that Karkat has a matespriteship with someone on the meteor and also Vriska mentions here that Karkat was very cagey about his romantic affairs on the meteor. So yes, I think it’s safe to say it’s canon. 

is karkat still knocks tf out from when he and kanya got the matriorb again/did that happen before or after John screwed with the timeline?

Yes, Karkat is still knocked tf out and it was after John screwed with the timeline. 

How did Dirk get to that apartment building in the middle of the ocean/flooded city? Also if alpha Dave never visits him how is he alive (no food)

Dirk talks about that on this page. 

Okay why does the Caliborn laugh in that song sound exactly like the Flowey laugh?

Because Toby Fox composed the song and also made Undertale so he probably used the same sound effect.

i heard that feferi has an eight pack. that feferi peixes is fucking ripped

From her wiki:  “ In a similar display of strength to Equius, she is able to breach straight into her first gate without any construction on her hive.”

in addition 2 the feferi is strong thing: wasnt she depicted in comic carrying an entire whale like ":)"

Yes, also that. 

For referring to the game voices used in Blind Prophet, it is very similar to pretty much any of the samples of the Cyclops voice from the Marvel vs Capcom series of fighting games. Don't really know if you care about that, just letting you know!!

Is johndave canon? I remember Dave saying to Dirk that he had a crush on two people that he described as John and Jade, if i remember correctly.

Already talked about this. He’s asking Dirk how to come out to them.

What are all the characters in homestuck that cannonly went grimdark? Except for rose and jade

Those are the only ones. Jade going “grimbark” was just a pun on her canine traits, she didn’t actually go grimdark in the sense that the Horrorterrors were influencing her. 

who`s the "goddess of manga" caliborn is talking about on page 008785?

Hey! I just wanted to know why Asexual Eridan headcanon is so popular. He seemed like the opposite to me. I'm only barely starting act 6 though, so maybe the reasons show up later?

You may or may not know this but Eridan is an allegory for the Obama Administration and administrations (not being people), do not have sexualities.

If sburb destroyed all of the trolls (besides the 12 main ones) when it was first played, how did the condescension survive?

Sburb (actually Sgrub in this situation) didn’t kill all the trolls, it killed everything on Alternia. It was Feferi’s lusus that killed all the trolls. Before it died it released the Vast Glub which is a psychic wave that kills anybody lower than a Fuchsia Blood. (Condy of course being a Fuchsia Blood was immune to the attack)

Why are dead Dave's the enemy?

Each dead Dave represents a Doomed Timeline

specibuses/sylledex's predate sburb right?

Yes

So after Rose preforms the Youth Roll, it skips to Dave and it says Meanwhile, in the past. I'm a little of the fuzzy on the timeline still, so does this simply mean that this took place at the same time as Rose's segment or is it farther in the past than that?

A bit farther in the past

Do you have a favorite character in homestuck?

Personally speaking I love Equius, Roxy, Dave and Caliborn.

I'm not sure, but didn't they mention at some point there were originally 24 players?

For the trolls, kinda, 12 Pre-scratch, 12 post-scratch. They didn’t play together tho.

Whats with the hate on Guy fiery (hope i spelled that right) he actually seems pretty cool... im so sorry if this is stupid im new to the comic

He helped kill a couple billion people and overthrow the government paving the way for a dictatorship the likes the world has never known.  He’s better known as the Anti-Christ or by his formal title: the High Chaplain of Interstellar War

Im pretty sure the 24 players was referring to the time Hussie claimed (most likely as a joke) that originally there was a SBURB game with 24 squiddles.

That was 48 squiddles actually.

ohh i get your theories for ace eridan but i also think you sorta brushed off the fact that ace people can still be in relationships, just not necessarily sexual.

Bruh, I know, I’m ace. It was just reasoning for why he is so desperate to be in a relationship.

Also think about it with Alternian standards, the relationships that will save you from being killed are sexual.

I think the end of homestuck is that its going to end up being one giant paradox, and its gonna bring us back to the very start of the comic.

As of A6A6I5 everybody is on the victory platform getting ready for 4 x Showdown. Is it before or after Caliborn's Masterpiece? When exactly are the Betas swallowed by the Treasure Juju? If we're not at that point in time yet, is it likely that A6A7 will go on forever so that there's significant gap between capturing and releasing betas from said juju? (so it's not anticlimatic thing like 5 panel gap, but atm everything is possible)

Before the masterpiece, and they’ll be trapped in the near future.

And it’s most likely that (or at least I believe) they’ll be released before they’re captured, from the over all homestuck timeline. Meenah’s army has the juju and they’re going to fight LE right now. Presumably when the juju meets English the kids will be released.

I have a question - who are the "eight assholes" that "popped out of nowhere" in the Caliborn's pages? I really couldn't name them. (ps I love your blog, stay ironic and awesome~!)

The kids, and thank

did the Alpha kids have Denizens?

Yes, Jane’s is Hemera, Dirk’s is Yaldabaoth, Roxy’s is Nix, and Jake’s is Abraxas

Did Aranea go grimdark during [S] GAME OVER?

No

Wasn't there a page about Jake's pre-scratch self being unable to say Haley and instead saying Harley?

Indeed there was

Wait, how is Jake's Pre-Scratch self Jane's sister? I thought Jane had a crush on Jake in the comic at one point?

Grandpa and Nanna were adoptive brother and sister, not actually related.

Jane did have a crush on Jake, for quite awhile

Can you do a brief hs summary?

I wrote a pretty good one awhile back
