I feel so dumb but, I forgot what are horrorterrors?

Horrorterrors are the giant squid/god thingies that live in the outer ring that whisper to the players on Derse.

More detail here: x

~Mod T

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but can God Tiers die permanently?

Yes, if their death is heroic or just they will not revive.

Such as if John jumped in front of someone and got stabbed in the chest.  He died heroically and would not come back.

Or if Vriska hadn’t been killed the rest of the trolls would have so it was a just death.

~Mod T

Did you know that the line of vantas and pyropes had feeling 4 each other!

That holds true for Karkat, Terezi, Kankri and Latula

But the Sufferer and Redglare never met, they were alive at different times.

Redglare was a supporter of the Sufferer’s teaching however.

~Mod T

I'm reading back through the ancestors games(A6I3), and I was wondering if there was any significance to the parallels of the relationships between horuss X rufioh and jake X dirk, like the kissing the dead head and letting the dream-self take over, and the robot-selfs that dirk/horuss made for jake/rufioh?? They seem eerily similar.

There are some theories that Damara parallels Jane and that Jane will snap and mangle Jake like what Damara did to Rufioh.

It’s just one theory, if you dig around you can find more detail and/or other theories.

~Mod T

Did the timeline where Vriska leaves to fight Jack Noir, and he kills Karkatt and Terezi real?

It is one of the doomed timelines, those in it are now in the dreambubbles.

~Mod T

How many mods are there? I'm assuming there's only one active from what I've read, but I know there is initially more mods.

Fuck man, I dun even know.  

Let’s see, um, F, S, A, me, SH, I dunno check that section with all our intros in it.

~Mod T

Actually, we don't know whether Vriska's death was just or heroic. It could have been just for the reason you mentioned, or heroic for letting Terezi do it and get closure, ect., by killing her.

Very true,

a better example would have been if when Jade was killed while she was grimbark and being menacing towards others that would have been a just death and she would not have come back.

~Mod T

Actually, the "Vriska lives, everyone dies" timeline was a "hypothetical timeline" by Doc Scratch! Terezi herself felt that letting Vriska go wasn't a choice at all, so that timeline could not have come to pass. (She beat herself up over that fact for years to come, too.)

Okie-dokie, that makes sense.

~Mod T

hi!! not a submit but my friend told me john, like aradia with temporal shenanigans(?), has a canon voice. unfortunately, I haven't been able to find it, so I was wondering if you may have the music track? thank you!

It’s in the track War Hammer of Zillyhoo

and they are not canon, because they are from fan-albums or something, people got cranky at me when I said they were canon, so whatever.  Believe what you want to believe. ┐(´∀`)┌

~Mod T

Are you guys trying to get enough mods to spell "FUJISAKI"?

There is no T in FUJISAKI.

~Mod T

How does dave's time travel work? I'm seriously confused about it.

He has to make all his timelines perfect circles and he cannot interact with himself past or future for if he does he’ll create more doomed timelines.

~Mod T

Where can I find Hussie's tumblr?

Yo

~Mod T

"a better example would have been if when Jade was killed while she was grimbark and being menacing towards others that would have been a just death and she would not have come back." Not necessarily. Aranea tampered with the luck of that outcome (hence the light symbol, a flash of her eyes over the clock just before it stopped in the center, and the "lucky break" that appeared above). Jade's death is even MORE debatable as Just than Vriska's.

Whateva homie, I think it was just.  Gotta let all the other homies know that it’s controversial so thanks for that.

~Mod T

whispers they're from canon albums! but just like the album art isnt canon, nor are the voices on the tracks. uwu

Shhhh, don’t say that, theyll here you!

~Mod T

Wait I don't think that timeline was hypothetical. Later on, Terezi talks to Aranea and she mentions that timeline. And Terezi says how she wishes she could apologies to both Vriskas but mostly the one she killed.

Okay, so I was right then? God this webcomic

~Mod T

Is there any information on how a Hero of Time obtains their time-travel device? We never saw Dave or Aradia obtain theirs, though it seems to be implied that alchemy was involved. Dave used his turntables, and Aradia used whatever she could find for lack of a house: the music boxes lying around in her Land of Quartz and Melody. But we never saw how that happened.

I dunno, I assume they develop that skill just like everyone else develops the skills that come packaged with their titles.

~Mod T

Actually, Dave can interact with his past and future selves as much as he pleases. He literally went back in time in order to give himself a thumbs-up to trust terezi. Also, he summons several clones of himself across the timelines in his and jade's fight with jack

But no spoilers.

~Mod T

I saw ya post some stuff about gates a while back and I just wanted to add in that the equasion for gates is the no of players x2-1, which is why the kids had 7 gates but the trolls had 23! ^.^

Oh wow, I did not know that, thanks for sharing.

~Mod T

just thought it was interesting.

I believe he is referring to his sylladex when he says it can’t hold the harlequin. He holds the car and other large objects in his father’s wallet sylladex.

Gl'ybgolyb was a prophet of the horrorterrors and told Feferi her prophecies

Idk if this is the right place to ask, but all tricksters are canonically caucasian correct? Would this apply to troll tricksters as well? Im planing a trickster terezi cosplay and want to know if i need to go grey or not.

I’m really not sure if that would apply to trolls.  Typically in fanart trickster!trolls are a random assortment of pastel colours.  It’s a mystery.

~Mod T

Regarding the time travel device thing, I believe Dave received his from Alternate Future Dave (Davesprite.) Presumably, alternate Dave and Aradia found them somewhere on their quests.

Yeah, most likely.

~Mod T

Hey, does the idea that Kankri or Latula have any non-platonic feelings between them stem from anything that happened in-comic? I don't remember anything like that in Openbound, but I could have missed something...

“Even though Latula has been dating Mituna steadily for eons, it’s hardly a secret to anyone that she and Kankri have had complicated unrequited feelings for even longer. So really, much like their descendants.”

Straight from openbound

Rose threw a ball of yarn at dave and knocked him unconcious, which seems kind of silly to me.

Hello all.

I was considering doing a Mod T TMI Tuesday tomorrow. But since this is a Homestuck-oriented blog I thought I’d ask you all first.  Would y'all be interested?  If I get a majority positive responses I’ll make a post tomorrow around mid-day, if a majority against then I won’t do it.

So what’d ya think?

is it stated in canon what latula's medication is for? or are we supposed to assume what we want since there are a lot of potential reasons

It has not been stated. We an’t really assume what it’s for, it could be for anything.

~Mod T

Okay so it looks like I got a majority positive reaction so Mod T TMI Tuesday is a go.  Send in any questions and I’ll answer them this tonight when I get home.

I’ll tag them all as “Mod T tmi” so blacklist that if you don’t want to see them : )

Nanna (pre-scratch Jane) knew about Sburb and apparently all it contained.
