how was gamzee responsible for bec noir? i thought it was more vriskas fault

It was Vriska’s fault that Bec was prototyped, BUT

Gamzee was the one that put the nightmare Harlequin in John’s dream room which caused him to draw harlequins on his wall which caused Dad Egbert to think he liked them and prompted him to get that Harlequin Doll for John’s birthday which ends up being prototyped and having to wear the damn clown hat is what drives Jack Noir to murder the Black Queen and take her ring thus leading to him kickstarting the Reckoning and becoming Bec Noir.

It's not illegal it's just... peachy

Okay WHAT was with Jades weird squiddle dream?? With the guy whisper singing in the background? And Feferi there? Was it just a look into the horrorterrors and dream bubbles? Also how was Feferi there?

She was in the Furthest Ring before Feferi negotiated the Dream Bubbles. Without the bubbles that’s what everyone would have to deal with.

If the drones will kill a troll if the said troll isnt in any quadrants... what happens to celibates? like kankri? or is it has been explained once and i had missed it; can you like, pin-point me what panel is it?

Well Kankri was from Beforus which likely had different mating regulations. But he def. would have died had be lived on Alternia

wait, how do you know your own aspect and class irl? like for instance if youre a witch of heart (i just randomly decide) how do you know that?? do you, like, took a quiz or somefin?

You can. I personally just thoroughly read through the classes and aspects, analyzed my own character and abilities or lack there of and decided on my own

Can u be a godtier and gave a dreamself??

No

What are the music boxes? I mean, how did the meidigo even obtain such a thing??

I assume she alchemized them like how Dave made his timetraveling turn tables

What was the quirk of Aradia? Or did she only had one when she was a robot/ghost?

she wr0te zer0s instead of “O’s” at least until she was alive again 

Favorite forgotten fact about Tavros?

He was planning on proposing to Vriska at one point

So god tiers cannot have dreamselves?

Right. Both methods of ascension end with only one remaining self.

does aradia have any flaws?

Oh course she does, all homestuck characters do. That’s what make them so gr8

For the whole "how many sweeps do you have to be to be an adult" thing, since 6 sweeps = 13 human years, that means that one sweep is 2.17 years. Since for us you become an adult at 18 years, then you probably become an adult troll at 9 sweeps since 8 x 2.17 = 17.36 but 9 x 2.17 = 19.53

I mean, instead of doing all that math LIKE A NERD, you could have just used the sweeps converter

Are there any carapicians in Caliborn's Session?

Yes, he hired Jack Noir to kill Calliope

"'Can u be a godtier and gave a dreamself??' No" I doubt it was addressed, but would this still apply to Sollux? Since he has a second one?

It would still apply. The other dreamself would just die

i remember hussie answering about sollux, so i went to go find the source but its just an empty blog? has it been that way for a while or am i looking in the wrong place?

Hussie’s tumblr has been inactive for years my dude. His formspring was deleted and he removed a majority of his tweets.

why did eridan spend so little time in the water if he hated landdwellers? even his hive was on an island

I like to imagine that Eridan would spend several hours sitting on his hive staring at land through binoculars and occasionally scribbling some notes in a journal labelled “Landdwweller Activvities”. 

And every once and awhile Gamzee would be walking around the beach, see him in the distance and wave which would surprise Eridan and he’d try to act like he wasn’t spying on the landdwellers and end up falling off his roof or something like that .

Forgotten fact about Feferi?

Feferi wanted to be nice and help the kids rather than troll them

What would happen if someone went straight to their quest crypt while still having a living dreamself?

They’re dreamself wold die

how about....a sadstuck fact?

You know in Cascade when Rose and Dave went to blow up the Green Sun?

Well they didn’t know their Sacrificial Slabs were there, they thought it was a suicide mission.

They were prepared to die for their friends

Originally, before the dreambubbles arrangement, what happened when God Tiers went to sleep? They just, like... slept? That seems wierd and preposterous, it can't be, it would be like picking up stuff directly with your hands or something.

They’d poof a dream phantom into the Furthest Ring presumably. I don’t think that mechanic would change. But we aren’t sure.

Why did John and Jade never show up in the dreambubbles when they slept in the three year journey?

They did. They just never ran into anyone on the Meteor Crew, except for one time, but John got stabbed by Meenah before he could see or talk to them

Wouldn't the deam phantom be on the battlefield?

No, John’s dreamself was on the battlefield after Prospit’s moon fell

I feel like an idiot asking this, but i don't fully understand the vast glub u-u can you explain?

It’s a psychic attack from Fef’s lusus Glubglub that kills all trolls that aren’t Fuchsia blood

How long in Canon was homestuck. Like was it three years and a few months or was it less

In-story it was three years exactly. 4/13/2009-4/13/2012

I don't remember the kid's session length, but did the amount have any significance like the time for the Trolls' session?

It was approximately 24 hours, maybe a few more. It was about 20 hours between the point that Bec Noir fought Rose and when Terezi killed Vriska so it couldn’t have been much longer than that.

what the heck is sadstuck

Strider manpain

forgotten Caliborn fact?

he’s canonically neurodivergent although it’s not specified what exactly he is or has.

if they don't have a dreamself anymore, what happens when they sleep?

Sleep phantom in the furthest ring

Could it be possible that aspects lean towards certain genders like classes? Like, we've never seen a female breath player or a male life player. Or is this just a coincidence?

Possibly, it’s never been discussed in canon but out subject pool is too shallow to say for sure

so is gamzee evil or what? like when sober he gets influenced by lil' cal, but if he wasnt influenced by lil cal, would he still be evil/violent while sober?

This depends entirely on who you ask and how they interpreted the story.

if the alpha trolls are the pre-scratch versions of the beta troll's ancestors, then shouldn't the beta trolls have pre-scratch versions that are the alpha troll's ancestors?

Yes

If homestuck ended on 4/13 what age did John canonically turn on that day?

16

it's me the aspect questioner, i meant to type "class" not "aspect" but i got confused... So it's "This is a dumb request, but can you please explain the classes and what do they do? That'd be super. Sorry, it's just that i'm still really confused about the classes"

What most of the classes do isn’t discussed in canon and is left highly to interpretation and speculation so rather than me talk about it here, I’d recommend reading the wiki page on Classes

How did Karkat come back to life after all the shit that happened in S Game Over?

He didn’t. John changed it so that the events of GAME OVER wouldn’t happen

do we know what determines if you have 2 dreamselves or just one?

It meta-wise can be contributed to the Captors’ duality theme

In-story-wise I like to attribute it to the fact that Sollux was the one that programmed the game so he gave himself a bonus. But that’s just speculation

Why did Mindfang kill Redglare? Weren't they both on the same side? Or am I missing something?

Redglare was tasked with arresting and prosecuting Mindfang, they were not on the same side of the law.

are all the trolls the same age? 6 sweeps at the start?

Yes

Why couldn't Vriska just flip her sprite to get her vision 8-fold back?

Because Hussie already made that joke. And also if she did that she’d loose her vision 1-fold.

could you fake the genetic material in buckets? like last minute "oh crap" and fill the pail with faygo or something would the drone be able to tell

I feel like the droids would catch on to that pretty quick

Are there always going to be exiles in a session?

Only in sessions that have a Reckoning.  The Alpha kids, and Caliborn: No Reckoning, No exiles.

Why do i hear people say "i pity you" as a term of endearment where did it originate what does it mean?

I have no idea my dude, never heard anyone use it like that.

@the "I pity you" Anon, I think it started because when Karkat was explaining how troll romance works, he said that any positive affections were mostly based off of pity. I guess people took it and ran with it?

CG: PITY IS OF COURSE JUST THE TONED DOWN VERSION OF THE CENTRAL EMOTION, HATE.
CG: AND ALL THE NUANCES OF PITY MANIFEST AS VARIOUS OTHER KINDS OF FEELINGS LIKE WHATEVER CHEMICAL REACTIONS TRIGGER MATING FONDESS OR THE MYSTERIOUS FORCES THAT ARE BEHIND MOIRALLEGIANCE.

May I ask about the shrek and eridan meme, because I somehow missed that completely but it sounds incredible

Well it’s a very old meme, from even before my time in the fandom, here’s a explaination post

What? :o Ive read the whole story thinking they were 16 earh years (different anon) so 13 year old kanaya sliced 13 year old eridan and a 13 year old vriska pushed a 13 year old tavros off a cliff and all that stuff????? Gosh

Yep. They’re 16 at the end of the story though. 

What happened to Gcatavrosprite?

They sleepin’ shhhhhhhhhh

yo, can you please explain Vriska's jacket? I know it's some sort of timeloop stuff like the Crosbytop but I can NOT remember how it happened.

It’s really not. She has a pirate coat and then she puts it on the ground and Kurloz takes it. That’s the whole story.

How did Gamzee get the War hammer of Zillyhoo?

Unknown

Forgotten fact about rose or sollux?

Rose blew up Eridan’s computer when he tried to flirt with her

I found a typo on page John: Equip fake arms. Copacetic is spelled "copasetic."

It’s just a rare alternate spelling my dude

Is it possible to be someone's moirail and matesprit at the same time?

Not the same person, no. You can have a moirail and a matesprite at the same time but they have to be with different people.
