I'm still confused about God Teir. So once you become God Teir you have all these awesome powers but aren't you immortal too? If so, then why does Jane (which I understand she does have healing powers) have to revive Dirk when he got his head cut off by Dave?

They have Conditional Immortality. They can die, but only if their death qualifies as Heroic or Just

hi, i'd like to know how dreamselves act when they haven't woken up yet please! do they just float around unconsciously?

Usually they just sleep. Roxy is an unusual case. However, sometimes they can be awake without realizing it like Dave who just hung out in his drem room makin beats.

hey! why did Gamzee go crazy? like, why did he started killing everyone and stuff????

Debatable but most likely Combination he ran out of sopor slime pies, he stared into the eyes of Lil Cal following his angry departure at Dave mocking his religion. 

whats that frog thing and why its necessary to create a new universe??

The frog is the universe

i might have asked this before but i cant remember the jobs of all of the guardians. what where they?

Dad was a businessman
Mom was a scientist
Bro was a puppeteer/entertainer
Grandpa was an adventurer/business owner, he inherited riches
Nanna ran a joke shop
Poppop was a comdeian
Roxy’s Mom was a writer
Dirk’s bro was a film producer
Grandma ran a company that made LE inspired goods until Condy ran her out of business
Bec was doge

[Re: Why did Gamzee go on a killing spree.] It was later in the comic that we didn't find out why until a lot of the comic that Dirk had been 'influenced' by Lil Cal through Caliborn. Gamzee had the same exposure to Lil Cal as Dirk but not the willpower to resist Caliborn's influence.

Dirk’s Cal was empty so he couldn’t have been influenced by it.  Bro possibly was tho, and he was p. awful.

how was it possible for game over!gamzee and retcon vriska to go to the alpha kids' session and prototype their sprites before everyone else?

time travel, they both had Aradia’s temporal music boxes

Additionally, on the topic of Gamzee, Gamzee was always violent when he was sober as revealed in a doomed timeline that an Aradiabot got the First Guardian code from. Gamzee from that timeline murdered everyone but her while in game. Since Gamzee was a part of Lord English, this may have hastened his turning on the group. He did say that he had realize the Messiahs were always him and him. Maybe he meant literally himself and the part of him thats in Lord English.

why did dirk and jake break up?

Redirect

Do space players have specific planet quests or does the frog breeding count?

Frog breeding counts, but there’s another more specific task they must do in order to finish that.  For Jade it was promise to bring the planets into the new session, we don’t know what Kanaya’s was but she said it was impossible to do. But Jade’s task seemed impossible when she excepted it so maybe that’s a prerequisite.

So Alpha Jade took the name English to spite the Condesce, and Caliborn took the name English out of respect for Jake English. Is that wrong?

Nope, That’s right, those are the reasons.

So how were the felt after Jack killed them and sn0wman? Were they just from a different timeline? Shouldn't they have died anyway since sn0wman was killed?

Yeah the Felt were pulled in from other timelines when Spades took out their pins from Die’s doll. 

How many brains did you fry when you read the first Intermission for the first time? Even my migraine has a migraine right now!!!

The first time I read the Intermission, I just tried to get through it as fast as possible so I could get back to those quirky kids. I didn’t really appreciate it until the third time I read it.  

The intermission is good kids don’t skip it, if it’s confusing come back and read it once you’ve finished Homestuck and it’ll be a lot more appealing. 

Why did caliborn respect Jake? He's kind of a crybaby

Because, and I quote “ [He] deals me my first defeat ever, since ascending as an invincible technicolor kid

Okay, so the Post-Scratch Trolls' Jack Noir became Spades Slick, the Pre-Scratch Kids' Jack Noir became Bec Noir, and the Beta Kids' Jack Noir became Union Jack/Jack English. What happened to the Pre-Scratch Trolls' Jack Noir and Calliope/Caliborn's Jack Noir?

We don’t know about the pre-scratch trolls’ Jack, he probably died when the Scratch happened.  And Caliborn killed his Jack

i'm trying to figure out why and when the vast glub happened. if gl'bgolyb glubbed because feferi left for the medium, then how did fef prototype her? if gl'bgolyb glubbed before feferi prototyped her and went to the medium, then why did gl'bgolyb glub?

It’s not confirmed how glubglub died, but it’s implied that she got hit with a meteor, released the Vast Glub, died, was prototyped, and then entered with Fef

Hey so this might be a stupid question but what is post scratch pre scratch, scratch in general??

Pre-scratch is the timeline from before the Players’ initiated the Scratch (John and Meenah’s groups)

Post-scratch is the timeline from after they initiated the Scratch (Karkat and Roxy’s groups)

The Scratch is a game construct that rearranges where the Skaian Defense Portals go during the Reckoning, thus altering the timeline.

what is your opinion on the recent homestuck update and the ending of it?

Yo

hiya! sorry if i'm being a bother, but i just wanted to know how exactly multiple sessions end up linked together. i'm trying to write a fan adventure with all of the heroes being split across a lot of different sessions, so i'd just like to know the possible ways to either link or have them visit these other sessions. (if you answer this, thank you for your time! you guys are great! :3)

 There are 3 ways to get between sessions. There are various teleporters you can use like Bec Noir did to get from the Kids’ session to Earth and then to the Trolls’ session.  You can go through the Fourth Wall like Jade and John did. Or you can fly through the Furthest Ring, which is the area in the Incipisphere between Mediums. This is very difficult to do however since Time and Space don’t function the same way in the Furthest Ring and the only reason the Meteor Crew was able to do so was because they had a seasoned Seer of Light to chart their course. 

Can a troll have a kismesis and a matesprite at the same time or is considered cheating? I didn't understand that part of the quadrant talk.

Having a matesprite and a kismessis at the same time is perfectly fine, in fact it’s expected, actually it’s required for adult trolls from Alternia and punishable by death if you don’t have either. 

It’s not cheating unless you’ve got two matesprites or two moirails or stuff like that, ya dig?

Does god-tiering only heal injuries? Or for exaple; if someone was Trasgender and they become god-tier, do they then "get" their body they're comfortable in? Or does it have to be your dreamself who god-tiers? (because the dreamself version of the trangendered person I mentoined, would have their wished body)

That is up for debate,but I would like to believe you’d get the body you want

Can a sprite kiss a corpse alive again? Like the Kids (and trolls) do with eachother

My first instinct is no, but I don’t recall it ever being addressed or attempted in comic, so believe what you like

Whats the deal with Snowman? Like, why shouldn't you kill her?

Her life is linked to the A universe

I see this in a lot of fanfics, but is it ever canonically stated that Jake runs around his island naked at any point in time?

I can’t find any canon evidence of this

As of Tyrion IV of ADWD, where is Jorah Mormont?

Answered Here

Why does Caliborn hate the colors green and orange together?

uu: ORANGE AND EMERALD. uNPLEASANT TOGETHER.
uu: I HAVE NO TASTE FOR PuMPKINS. OR ANY HORRID VEGETABLE MATTER.
uu: MEAT OR CANDY. THAT’S WHAT’S GOOD. THE GAME IS OVER.

If Karkat's a mutant would his lusus still share his blood color?

Crabdad should also have candy red blood because he was bred especially for Karkat

Wait, Caliborn's hatred for green/orange. Would it be in any way related, if just foreshadowing, the actual fight Davepetasprite^2 puts up with Lord English in [S] Collide?

C’est possible 

if karkat wasnt a mutant he would have grey blood.

Grey blood would still be a mutant. Non-mutant Karkat would most likely have been a lime blood, the color between Sollux and Nepeta’s corresponding to Cancer’s place between the characters’ respective symbols in the horoscope.

What is a "Just" death?

To quote the good Scratch doctor: “… one may be subject to corruption, and slain by a hero. This would be just.”

How is Aradia able to stick around as a ghost (and join a kernelsprite!) before Fef makes the Dream Bubbles (or enters the medium at all)?

One could argue it was related to her psychic abilities to hear the voices of the dead, or one could argue plot convenience, she stayed around because she needed to for the story.  

you know that big grey room with the computers that the trolls are in ? is that on the meteor or was it somewhere before that and how did they get there

That is on the Meteor and Aradiabot threw them all aboard the Meteor when Bec Noir attacked

If Rufioh god-tiered, would he keep his wings for would he get an additional two?

He’d keep his current wings

Where does the universe frog go after its made?

It stays right where it was created

Do the beta trolls know that the alpha trolls are versions of HIC, Dualscar, The Disciple, Redglare etc. or do they just think they're trolls who played the game as well??

They know, they talk about it quite a bit in the openbound flashes. Meenah and Aranea also reference their post-scratch counterparts frequently

How is Jade talking to Cali while sleeping? Do god tiers still have a dream self?

It’s her Dream Phantom. When someone without a dreamself goes to sleep a lil phantom of them pops up in the Furthest Ring where all the dreambubbles and ghosties are.

Since Kurloz is a ghost, is his tongue healed?

No, he doesn’t want it back therefore he didn’t get it

What would happen if someone died on a quest bed that wasn't their's?

Then they’d be dead

Why is Jane shown dead in Terezi: Remem8er when her death is just is Game Over?

Because she was dead. Just death means stays dead

Sorry if this has been answered, but how did vriska's resurrection stop aranea from coming back to life and fucking things up? I know she ko'd jane and jade, but idk about aranea?

It was actually John that stopped that by taking the Ring of Life  before the Aranea-controlled Gamzee could get it

why do trolls get wings when they god tier

“Metamorphosis is clearly a significant part of troll biology, and therefore ingrained in their mythology. They’ve got cocoons everywhere, and are often likened to insects through biological terms. The wings have nothing (we know of) to do with troll adulthood. But have a lot to do with their perception of what ascension should be, which is the culmination of a pupation process. Which is why some may look to fairies as an ideal, or rule them out as fiction on account of the ideal they represent. Ascended trolls in this game are essentially magical fairies.

Humans do not have a good analog for this though, and enjoy no biological upgrades. Only powers and fashion.”

Your dreamself reflects who you are; Vriska got a new arm and eye because she wanted it, but Terezi stayed blind because she was happier that way. But what if someone changed their mind? For example, if somewhere along the way Terezi decides she didn't want to be blind anymore. Would their dreamself change to reflect that? Or is that not possible?

As long as their dreamself isn’t their mainself they can change it as much as they like. (See Jade growing and ungrowing multiple limbs)

when was it stated that alpha kids dont have any side timelines

It wasn’t stated, they didn’t have someone that could time travel to create any until Game Over

im p sure davesprites timeline was doomed too

Those are the Beta kids. Beta kids had a few doomed timelines

Why is the universe a frog, of all possible animals?

I answered that here dawg

are we exactly sure about that the betas that get sucked into the weapon are the alpha timeline ones?? the ones we see?? because if thats what it is then everythings just an infinite timeloop i see no happy endings here D:

oh! sorry, im constantly mixing up alpha and beta. my bad

No prob bob. It happens all the time

were there any actual explanation about the "ultimate selves"? i mean any foreshafowing stuff earlier in the comic or anything? i remember john talkin other selves in one upd8. it seemed like something important and it could be still (epilogue)

Nothing out right, but there are some examples earlier on like Jade and Jadesprite interaction, or Dirk comparing himself to Bro. Here’s a really good analysis/theory on ultimate selves if you’re interested. 

did the b1 guardians just knew about sburb?? i mean dad was the only one who seemed a little weirded out by everything. bro was splitting meteors and grandpa harley was going future into the medium...

Harley knew, he had the frog ruins that the game code comes from and owns the company the distributed it. Mom Lalonde worked for Skaianet so she knew. Dad probably had a vague idea based off the text Nannasprite wrote in 
Colonel Sassacre’s Daunting Text that got sent back with John as a baby.

Bro on the other hand, I’m not sure. maybe he’s just that cool, maybe Lil Cal told him about it  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is the earth that cherubs live in the same earth in act 7? They look totally different tho! Where did everyone go? Arent the kids supposed to be immortal at least? I apologize if this is of those things that ends up unexplained :/

Yes but billions of years in the future, and just because the kids have conditional immortality doesn’t mean the planet does.
