Would Jade have lost her First Guardian powers after the Green Sun was destroyed?

Yes

but. time works differently in the outer ring, right? thats why the green sun existed before it was created. we can assume from this that the same occurs from the destruction. for instance, doc scratch has to trick the beta kids into creating it, meaning he would have had no first guardian powers before its creation if time worked in a linear fashion, and so the same could be said about jade and her powers after its destruction.

Well the good Scratch Doctor also died at the moment the Sun was created so I guess we’ll never know for sure

How many characters (and which ones?) have a canon art style? I know Calliope and Calliborn have drawn in the comic off the top of my head, but I know theyre not the only ones.

Dave, Terezi, Dirk, WV, Karkat, Roxy, John, and Nepeta.  I might be missing a few but that’s all I can think of/find at the moment

Will you put the entire comic up for download when you've put it on the flashdrive?

I can try, but it’ll be awhile. I have to finish getting the panels and then find a way to download the flash pages and I have to go back through for the text once I figure out how I want to save that, so we’ll see.

what happened to dirk after game over?

He was consumed by the Special Stardust and if he didn’t die he was presumably erased along with the timeline

Why are you saving all the panels?? Hussie said hes gonna release a digital version of the comic :V it was part of the game kickstarter

That was if the Kickstarter reached $2,500,000 which it was just shy of at $2,485,506.

As for why I’m doing it; because I want to, plus it lets me have my own Homestuck Map that’s more in depth than the one on the mspa site. See look at how nice this is:

It gives me a great outline of the story and I just think it’s fun

wait – is homestuck slated for deletion

No. It was just a hypothetical

How'd you get the original panels?

First you find yourself a Retcon panel

Then you Right Click on it and click Open Image in New Tab

Once you’ve done that head up to the taskbar, highlight the “_retcon” portion, delete it and press enter

And then viola~ the original panel 

Hey, I'd decided to download all of the pages myself a while ago, but I could never figure out how to download the flash pages. Do you know how to do that?

Not yet. I’m planning on looking into that after I get all the not-flash pages

will you attempt to include the extra panels that appear on the upper part of the mspa pages during doc scratch's segment, or would that be kinda difficult?

Yeah, they’re just an image, I might not be able to catch the hover-text but I can live with that

AAAAA ON PAGE 004341 IT SAYS GLUBGLUB IS THE ONLY LUSUS WITH FUCHSIA BLOOD!!! BUT THEN ON PAGE 004361 IT SHOWS A LUSUS WITH FUCHSIA BLOOD BEING FED TO GLUBGLUB. WHAT??????????????????????????

That is actually not Fuchsia, it’s a bit farther down the scale

what exactly would be a "digital copy" of homestuck?

The entirety of Homestuck on one convenient flashdrive

Do you think Hussie desides the fate of a character just to mess with the fans? (ex. fusing Nepeta with Davesprite) Or do you think there is a deeper meaning to each character's path?

He did that for some of them. Such as Fefeta never speaking was because the fans desperately wanted Nepeta and/or Feferi to be relevant again.

But I feel like Davepeta was a good thing for Davesprite’s character so I’m not sure if I’d categorize it here

Looking to hire a new mod?

If we are you’ll know about it

Did Jake like Arenea?

I mean he has an affinity for cerulean babes. But as for like like I don’t think so, but that’s debatable.

About that drawing style ask, we've seen hand-drawn pictures in roses room that we can assume she did herself and we've also seen Jade draw in her PICTIONARY MODUS

Oh ofcourse! How could I have forgotten about the Pictionary Modus.

What are retcon pages because I feel stupid not knowing?

Pages that Hussie went back and added a splash of oil or John’s arm to

I bet I can download every panel and flash faster than you

Probably. I’m in no hurry.

Ok, was the empress' lifespan because she was Tyrian, she had glubglub, or because Meenah was a life player(I think thief, right?) Or was it said

Fuchsia blood baby, does a body good, but she could also extend people’s lifespan so I bet she could do that to herself as well

Really? For years I have been pronouncing Gl'bgolyb as glob-lee-ob and now I feel ashamed. Dishonor on me, dishonor on my cow

I mean, pronounce it how you like kid. There’s no wrong pronunciation. 

If there was no Glubglub on Beforus than what lusus took care of the fuschia bloods? Did they just not have one?

I believe young fuchsia blood were raised by the Empress’s court and groomed to take her place

I am so sorry for starting this whole thing with GlubGlub. *flops on face* Forgive meeeeeeee

You didn’t start anything dude, I’ve been typing out glubglub practically forever

Are Bec and Halley related?

Bec is the ectochild of Halley

Who is Halley?

Grandpa Harley’s dog

People think the ACT 1 is boring? I was mostly intrigued by the way it was written and the fact there was cake everywhere

There’s a lot of coding jargon and stuff in it that’s very confusing. And it’s set up in a pseudo-interactive style like where it tells you to enter a name for the character but you can’t actually enter a name. Factor in that the narration is constantly “you, you, you, you this, you that” making it seem like you’re supposed to be the character but you’re also a being that’s watching the character? And there’s just so much exposition stuffed in Act 1 which is difficult to get through and there’s not really any connection to the characters at that point to help give you motivation. Going back and rereading Act 1 once I have the connection to the characters and I understand how the story is told and how things work, A+, really funny but the first time it’s difficult for most people to get interested, especially if they’re a poor reader like me. 

tl;dr: the mspa writing style is confusing if you’re not used to it 

What are Shadowdroppers?

kinda like troll zombies

VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION: DO TROLLS HAVE NIPPLES

YES

Did hussie remove the news post talking about Act 7 and the epilogue or am I just not seeing it because I'm on mobile?

He cut it down significantly in length

Why was Roxy taken care of by Carpacians?

Because that’s where she lived and there weren’t any people around to do it

Hello, i am a new reader and i am still trying to understand the storytelling. I mean stuff like how dad throws cakes to john and rose attacking mom or moms kinda weird manners toward rose and stuff. Is it just some comic shenanigans? I dont know? Like the stuff that happens in all those animes and all? I know bros abuse turns out to be actually terrible and how dave talks about it. It just confused me a little. Thanks!

Mom and Dad are just weird that way. They do it to humor or get a rise out of their kids, which isn’t too unusual, they just take it a bit farther

while we're on pronunciations, how do you pronounce the troll's names? i know there's some conflict, especially over feferi

Ooooh no, I am not opening that can of dirt noodles, pronounce them however you like there is not wrong way

There is only one HIC, correct? She raised nana, grandpa, Poppop, and grandma?

Ye, presumably

We know there are only 12 castes on the hemospectrum, but does that mean there are only 12 different blood colours? Like, could there be different shades of burgundy/bronze/yellow/etc, or does every troll in a given caste have identical blood?

Yes, there can be different shades. The canon fan trolls and some of the Hiveswap trolls have shades a bit different than the main 12.

How did nanna and grandpa know each other? Theres a concept art of hiveswap showing chilling with halley

They are adopted siblings. They were raised together.

TROLLS DON'T HAVE NIPPLES OR BELLY BUTTONS

Both Damara and Arquius have confirmed that trolls have nipples 

Proof trolls have nipples?

Arquius mentions them here

and Damara talks about them here

Do you have a source for where it says that rust bloods live for only ~50 years? I remember back in 2012 people would say the lived to only like 20, and that bothered me.

Here, they must have mixed up their sweeps and years

Can you explain fraymotifs a bit more because all I really know is that that they are activated by attacking to the music.

BASICALLY, they’re just combo moves that players can buy.

(If Equius says animals are for admiration, that'd make him a vegan, sorry if it's so nitpicky, but vegetarians don't eat meat and thats it, vegans are completely anti animal byproduct. So he's still a vegetarian, but for specifics, vegan)

He drinks milk, he’s vegetarian

What classes are eachother counterparts? I've seen people using rogue as the opposite of knight, but isn't it rogue/thief?

rogue/thief is canon
Prince/Bard is canon
Lord/Muse is canon

The rest are speculatory.

But it sounds like what you’re talking about is inversion theory which is a whole other can of dirt noodles

If I remember correctly, cats are not called meowbeasts. Am I right? It would probably be a good idea to remind the fandom of this if it's true...

Yeah, the fandom (generally speaking) thinks that troll animals are just *noise-animal-makes*beast, but that’s only a thing for a handful of them.

It just occurred to me rose doesn't know who cthulhu is does that mean cthulhu doesn't exist in the homestuck universe at all

Yep, no Cthulu in Homestuck, but there’s always Fluthlu,  Nrub’yiglith, and my personal favorite Oglogoth the Deep One

so who made sburb/sgrub?

http://forgottenhsfacts.tumblr.com/search/who+made+sburb

How did Dirk survive in the middle of the ocean for 13 years? Like, what did he eat?

His bro left supplies for him

how did rose escape from grimdark?

She died

Ive heard the 48 player season was done by the horror terrors before they became horror terrors is this ever confirmed or hinted at if so what page thank you in advance

a 48 player squiddles session was a joke that Hussie made to explain the Trolls having a 48 sign horoscope

Is a soul that has been ripped out of the body but not destroyed count as a death?

I’m not sure but I want to say yes since at that point they are literally just a ghost

The Condesce have rainbow drinker abilities, if the answer is yes, She can revive?

She does not have rainbow drinker abilities

"Some of which were yours" couldn't that mean Meenah being assassinated, rather than doing the assassinating? Not that I doubt she'd do the latter.

Hold on, that fact is wrong. She’s saying she read about assassinations not committed any. Am fixing now.

on alternia buckets werent seen as a sexual object were they?? because everyone seems to think buckets = something erotic but i thought that unless a troll pailed with someone they were killed and that isnt very erotic??

They aren’t seen as something erotic, they’re seen more as indecent
