is davepeta dead??

Not sure at the moment.

What happened to the ring Aranea had?

The Ring of Life is with Calliope now. 

How were Dave and Terezi able to revive Dirk when he got shot in Collide? I know by a fraymotif but what would have allowed them to do that with their powers?

Explained here

what do you think (or do we know) would happen if PM put on the ring she got from Bec Noir?

Answered this here

What does Kanaya still have to do plot wise?

Stoke the forge and retrieve the Genesis Frog. Also, hatch the matriorb. 

Are you sure about Gamzee being the reason Terezi killed Vriska? He is the reason they had a confrontation, but by the end Terezi knew that Vriska was innocent of most of the murders and killed her specifically to prevent her from alerting Jack to the trolls' hideout.

But Terezi could have just knocked Vriska out (like she realized in the future and had John do) but she was blinded (hehe) by rage which was caused by Gamzee 

So in open-bound the dancestors talk about how they haven't seen Meenah in a long time. Why is that? Where was she?

She didn’t wake up in the bubbles until long after the other Beforan trolls did

is homestuck updating tonight?

Yes

Does Roxy's power mean that she could potentially remove the absence of a dead person, bringing someone back to life?

That might be moving more into Life territory so probably not

When was the gigapause? Tryna figure out how long I've been in this fandom

October 2013 - October 2014

It could be possible that Terezi got stabbed in like the gut or lung while )(IC took a katana to the heart.

Or that we’re playing by rpg rules and everyone’s got a healthbar and the sword made Condy’s hit zero while TZ had plenty of health left when she got stabbed.

what time (roughly) do you think homestuck will update tonight? does hussie not usually upd8 at midnight?

Midnight (-5) for flashes, usually like 1-ish pm for normal upd8s

If we're going RPG rules, jm sure the unbreakable katana has a much higher DMG than terezi's plain canesword

wait, since gamzee doesn't die in timelines, then do all doomed timelines just have that one living gamzee scampering around?

After a certain amount of time paradox space erases doomed timelines so no.

I've forgotten quite a few things from HS, but Condy had pudding in her lungs??? Could you explain that please ???

That was a joke

if caliborn's masterpiece/the kids getting trapped in the juju happens in the future, then how does vriska have the version of the treasure containing them? did the treasure time travel?

Time works differently in the Furthest Ring

One thing really confused me about [S]: Collide: Was Spades Slick attacking Dave, Dirk and Terezi or were they just in the crossfire of his fight with Jack English? I know that Jack English was trying to kill them all, but that part really confuses me.

Slick was trying to get the kids out of the way so he could fight Jack English but Terezi attacked him so that’s how that started

Wait, I thought Dad Egbert was dead but he appeared in the end of act 6??? Holy shit is John gonna flip out or????

That’s Dad Crocker, jane’s dad

How many times has Dirk died

4, if you count the thing that happened post-Game Over

can i get a source for pspace erasing doomed timelines?

It’s questioned here and confirmed here

Has Caliborn (not Lord English) actually killed anyone other than Calliope and Yaldabaoth? Like what's he done except solve his Land puzzle and make bad anime art?

His land puzzle involved destroying 15 planets, at least one of which was inhabited.

does that mean that Dad Crocker is post-scratch John or is John his (Dad Crocker's) dad?

Post-scrath John (Poppop) is Dad Crocker’s father

Dirk didn't die in the Game Over timeline, and since it wasn't a doomed timeline, he simply got written over.

It was doomed tho, it’s stated multiple times that it was a doomed timeline. Like here, and here, and here.

wouldn't dave be older than the others since he time travels all the time? since while rose or john thinks it's been 3 years or something, dave's been in the game like twice as long as anyone, right?

Dave’d only be a couple days older. He really didn’t do all that much time travel.

has nannasprite ever shown the ability to revive stuff before this update? i feel like she did but i just don't remember

She might’ve just healed Jane and not revived her. Nannasprite’s healing John as early as this page. 

Okay, but is Ms. Paint still okay?

Yes, she’s ok.

Sorry if you've answered this before but do you think Aranea will show up? Or still be relevant?

No, I don’t think she’ll show up again.

Did the beta trolls scratch???

No.

Why was jade trying to keep pm and bec nior from hurting each other? Like what would happen if they did

Already answered this. 

what are all the members of the felt's names and powers?

Take a look at their wiki page

How do the Nannasprites have healing powers again? Can all sprites heal??

Nannasprite can heal because she’s an alternate version of Jane and Jane is a Life player.

is there any reason troll names are always 6 letters long?

is there any reason kid names are always 4 letters long?

What would be the best way to explain [S] Terezi: Remem8er?

Terezi remembers some stuff, Scourge Sister flashbacks, and a happy ending for (Vriska) and (Terezi)

Why does Terezi still have red shoes? I thought she took them off Jade's body pre retcon.

Terezi has always had red shoes. She did take Jade’s shoes pre-retcon but they are a different kind of shoe.

Did Dave just break Dirk's unbreakable katana?

Yes, Dave has an even more powerful weapon so it makes sense.

In case anyone's wondering why Roxy didn't inherit the Handmaid's curse, on page 5970 it says that the Handmaid struck a bargain with the Condesce, letting her know the terms of their duel. This might be why she inherited the curse and why it didn't pass on to Roxy, because the Condesce wasn't enlisting nor negotiating with the kids.

whats amiss in johns room on page 2311?

An imp had been there 

Do all bards have a phallic looking codpiece or is it just Gamzee being weird?

All the bard

Can Jane only heal people once? Not infinitely? Why is that?

She can heal people as much as she likes ,she can only bring them back from the dead once because otherwise she’d be too op

Teleporting things off into space where they can do no harm is very much in a First Guardian's wheelhouse of tricks, though, including Doc Scratch stopping a meteor on-screen at one point.

But the meteor that was coming towards Jade’s island was very, very, very big, too big to be teleported away

why were there 3 Jacks at one point in the Collide animation? there was one Lord Jack in the foreground with RoboJack and another Lord Jack in the background?

Time Shenanigans 

Do we know why Ms Paint had a bucket of green paint?

Because she’s in the 3 in the morning dress and her bucket of paint is green when she wears it.

why did PM start chasing Dog jack in the first place?

He punched a hole in WV’s stomach 

who all has powers that rely on/are influenced by the Green Sun?

Jade Harley, Gcatavrosprite and Doc Scratch

The Crowbar is a juju breaker and that's why the unbreakable katana became breakable.

That’s implying that it’s a juju. 

How come during the midnight crew intermission killing snowman would destroy the universe.

Doc Scratch recruited her into the Felt and tied her life to Bilious Slick’s life and it is not explained how he did this. 

did tavros and meenah die ?

No, they’re still ghosts. 

I'm thinking of rereading part of homestuck. Can i just skip all the parts that were retconned because that's whats confusing me. Or is it something important to read those retconned things?

I mean they’re kind of important because they heavily affected where the plot’s at right now. So I wouldn’t recommend it. 

The person who asked about fedorafreak asked about dad Crocker not dad egbert

Yes, I edited it. 

How is terezi able to do these things when she's never reached godteir? Would other people be able to do that too?

A player can access their powers before they go godtier like John did here. Going godtier just gives you mastery over your aspect.
