Just wondering, but is all of the art in homestuck hussie's art? I've noticed so many different styles throughout homestuck, there are at least 5 different styles in [S] Cascade alone

Nope! Hussie has had several people contribute art to Homestuck. If you go to Credits on the top of the site and then to Art Credits you see all the people whose art Hussie used

How did A2's Black Queen get from being with Doc Scratch post-exile to ruling the 8-ball planet as Sn0wman in Caliborn's dead session?

She did not, there was no minion gain from the 8th planet.

What was the part with Dirk wearing AR and Rose saying uncle about in the latest update?

In a pester log between Rose and Doc Scratch, Scratch told her to consider him her human uncle. Dirk is Rose’s genetic father and Lil Hal being a seperate version of Dirk makes him kinda like Dirk’s brother or Rose’s uncle. And Lil Hal is a part of Doc Scratch. Confirmed.

Can you try to explain what the fuck is up with lil cal and what big revelation happened? I'm so confused.

Caliborn, ARquius and Gamzee’s souls were put into Lil Cal. Lil Cal is used to make Doc Scratch and by extension Lord English do it means that those two characters are a combination of the three characters I mentioned at the beginning.

Was Aradia's slab inside the planet because sollux's duality made the moon too crowded?

No, it was because she died before the game started.

What do you think about the new update?

I thought it was pretty obvious that Homestuck was illuminati. After all Homestuck is 9 letters long. You know what else is 9? The troll’s session number is 612. 6+1+2= 9. The beta kids session number is 413. 4+1+3= 8. Vriska’s signature number is also 8. 9+9+8+8=34. Do you see it yet? No? Well prepared to be blown away. The alpha kid session number is 1111. 1+1+1+1= 4. Take the 4 out of 34 and what do you get? That’s right, 3. There are 3 sides on illuminati triangle. Homestuck confirmed illuminati.

so what exactly is lil hals human body? was it confirmed in canon before todays update or was it just fanart until now?

It was just fan art before today

Could you describe why Davesprite is dead in the current timeline? I don't remember a mention of that.

Yes, well when John made his deal with Typheus it came at a price that price is that someone would have to suffer. John didn’t know the specifics but the person that had to suffer was Jade. So Retconned LoWaS exploded killing Retcon John and Davesprite causing Jade to spend the next three years alone.

Has there been any explanation as to how the unhackable ~th code that runs at the end of both universes came about? Because that seems like a pretty critical component to Lord English's existence that actually hasn't been explained yet (Lil Cal/souls are only directly connected to doc scratch, in terms of things being combined to make more things).

No, but knowing what we know now we can assume Lil Hal (or some version of lil cal/le) wrote it.

for the hiveswap game, if joey is going to alternia isn't she basically traveling back in time or

Hiveswap is set in the 1990’s, homestuck didn’t start until 2009.
But yes, she is going back an unknown number of sweeps to before the trolls we all know and love were hatched.

Kinda goin' off the Gamfef thing, do you think there's a possibility that Gamzee would've gotten a red quadrant with ANY of the troll girls? If so, who would be the most likely partner for him?

Gamzee’s Left Half <3 Gamzee’s Right Half

What is the importance of the Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff comics?

To be shitty and funny and to exist so there can be references to it in Homestuck

what does retcon mean?

Retcon means something previously stated is changed.

I was going over the conversation between Dirk and Caliborne when Dirk is drawing for him. I noticed that he announced that killing his sister was only one step in the game with her and that it would end when they mated....??? WTF

That definitely sounds like a cherub. When looking for a mate they look for someone similar to their other half.

hey so im a bit confused about this whole update fiasco i get the fact that cali ar and half of gamze being inside cal but and that cal was used to make doc scratch but what about the evil dirk thing i didnt get that

Evil Dirk is just Lil Hal/auto responder given an anthropomorphic body.

Given how Kurloz stole Vriska's coat, and LE's coat looks like it except green and rainbow edged, Do you think it's the same one?

I don’t think they’re the same but I bet Vriska’s coat was used in making English’s.

How does Nana Egbert know all about the quest that John's about to go on, as she says in the note of the old Sassacre book

She was a sprite.

Dontcha think it would be cool if Hussie included a pause button in every flash like he did with Cascade?

Yeah itd be cool but given most flashes are only a minute or two long it’d be unnecessary, cascade was different given it was nearly 15 minutes long. People have put the flashes on YouTube so if you need to pause it to get a good screen shot or something you can look there.

So Lord English's Vast Honk (Upon Scratch's Transformation) is part of Gamzee coming out? And technically his "worship" of Cal and L.E is actually just Narcissism?

Yes and kinda

Ive been meaning to ask; whos the short robot and cloaked Robot seen with Dirk when hes introduced? And Auto responder is his shades right?

The short one is Squarewave and the tall one is Sawtooth they are his rap-bots. And yes Auto Responder was in his shades.

Then who is Lil Hal?

Lil Hal is Auto Responder

What happened to Sawtooth and his Bro?

what do we know about the LE-looking derse chess piece

You mean Jack English?  Well he was the B2 Jack Noir, he was cuaght trying to assassinate dream Jane and put in Prospitan jail where he stayed for 154 days.  Then he was sent a pumpkin with a bunch of knives and cutting utensils, Crowbar’s crowbar and Lil Cal in it.  Jack looked into Cal’s eyes and got possessed which caused him to stab out his own eyes replacing them with Cal’s and saw off his leg replacing it with a spire from his cell.  Then he killed Jane and Jake and was teleported to the furthest ring by Jade.  And that’s the last we seen him.

Here's an illuminati theory. 413 Hmmm? 4+1+3=8. The kids session is 8-player. 8-4 is 4. Roxy was originally in a 4 player session. Roxy's land has pyramids. A pyramid has 3 sides. Illuminati confirmed.

The pyramids on Roxy’s planet have 5 sides, try again.

Is Roxy a trans girl? Because when she's getting introduced the XY in her name are revealed and it says "The final two chromosomic symbols", does that mean XY are her chromosomes?

She could be, I don’t think that was what Hussie intended, but if you want to headcannon her as trans there’s no evidence to stop you.

Are Squarewave and Sawtooth alive?

As far as we know, Yes

Each pyramid face has 3 verices, and therefor have a total of 15 vertices with overlap per pyramid. 15-12=3 (12 for the troll's session) Illuminati Confirmed

This is exactly the makes-no-sense bullshit kinda reasoning that’ll catch them illuminatis, you gonna go far kid.

How did Gamzee get Lil Cal into Dave's dream room? I know he used chucklevoodoos but since Cal's supposed to be a juju, it wouldn't make sense for Gam just to have made him out of thin air

My guess is that the Gamzee inside Cal used some chuckle voodoo shit to get in Dave’s dreams since Gamzee in the past but also the future knew that he would cause Cal to get there.  Confusing, I know. So many things about Cal were caused by a different part of Cal, paradoxes are hard to explain.

I just read your updated Li'l Cal timeline. I'm just confused on 2 things. 1, how does the Lil cal - souls get to baby dirk in the lab/end up on earth? 2, can you explain in more detail how Gamzee was able to control cal + souls in the void.

1.  So Cal’s hanging in Dave’s dreamroom and Rose comes to visit and throws him out the window and he lands on Bro’s hover board things that’s just kinds flyin’ where ever and that takes him to the ectolab. Lil Cal was then sent back with ecto-baby Dirk. The pre-scratch instance of Lil Cal kept the souls but the post-scratch Cal is empty since there can’t be two at the same time.

2. Gamzee not in Cal couldn’t control Cal but the Gamzee inside Cal was able to use his chucklevoodoo to infest Dave’s dreams because he knew from his past that he would.

Wait, the John from the new Alpha Timeline (Alpha-Prime, maybe?) died when LOWAS exploded, and the old Alpha John, with old Alpha Roxy, took his place in Alpha-Prime. But what about Roxy Prime? We haven't seen her die. Are there two Roxys now?

Roxy Prime was killed by Heiress Jane when she jumped in front of Rose and took a forky thing to the body. It was heroic, many tears were shed.

wait so what actually happened in the update? im really confused

Essentially, it was a lil Cal timeline summary

Could I have a list of the times 413 has played a majorrole in the story? If it's not too much trouble.

Merry Christmas

(Super long theory that had to be split up part 1) Here's a theory: a gray sleeve appears at the end of the Lil Cal flash. The color of this sleeve, if you check in Microsoft Paint (the name of the site... Hmmm...) has a hue of 160, a luminosity of 56, and 60 as the red, green and blue value. That's three 60s. What else has three?

Ohmygod

When did Dirk make Caliborn's leg? I have heard he did but I never noticed when he did it.

They talk about it here, they never mention it’s a leg.

Were Eridan and Feferi revived in the retconned timeline?

No

Wait. Is davekat canon?????

To the surprise and shock of many Johnkat, daverezi, and karerzi shippers everywhere, maybe.

technically tavrisprite is still canon, just in a different timeline/memory, right?

Yes, in the current timeline though were are left with just a Tavrossprite.

Can you explain how exactly its ok for lil cal and doc scratch to exist at the same time? Because doesnt that technically create two objects with the LE soul mix? That would imply that the hulk english is a separate entity than lil cal.

Yes, the souls are not the juju so they can exist at the same time, Lil Cal is a juju so two of them can’t exist at the same time

Ok I'm really confused now, why is it that Vriska is able to time travel/jump from session to session? I thought that only Gamzee could do that.

She has the megido time machine music boxes, probably got them from Aradia

is jade all alone on the boat still during the latest update, or was that an alternate timeline?

Nope, that was this timeline, she was alone

wouldn't it cause the bad kind of paradox if pre-retcon vriska stopped existing altogether? since she contributed to the john originating from the pre-retconned timeline to have the teleporting thing from caliborn's juju that was needed to allow him to retcon the timeline and to eventually teleport the human kids to fight caliborn. that with the fact that the dreambubbles can and have contained ghosts from doomed timelines like a tavros that god-tiered, for example?

That’s what I said but people argued it

Is davekat canon in <> or in <3 ??

Unknown

I mean... Dave and Karkat could just... be in a normal human relationship?

Impossible, Karkat is not human, if anything it’d be a normal interspecies relationship.

In regards to that anon's question, the current timeline is the timeline in which jade is alone on the boat? Would john and davesprite be dead then?

Yes

Why were Feferi and Eridan in the flash if they already died???

That picture was in parallel to this panel

Just about Lil Hal - did he end up with an actual body that looks like red Crockertier Jane or has he always been either shades or part of ARquiussprite? And is he evil or something else?

He is not actually in a human body it’s just a lil Hal human design the got super popular in the fandom and Hussie put in the comic.  And I wouldn’t say Lil Hal was evil, more too smart for his own good or diabolical.

Why do I keep seeing stuff about Jade being alone on the prospit ship during the 3 year trip? I thought John, the sprites, and the consorts were with her? What would Vriska being alive change about that?

John made a deal with Typheus which killed his pre-retcon self and davesprite so Jade spent the three years relatively alone

how much do you think Hussie is influenced by the fandom?

A lot actually.  The first 4 acts were fan suggestions via the mspaforums, Calliope and Caliborn are parodies of different types of fans, Trickster Mode wasn’t Hussie’s idea, and all the canon trickster designs minus John’s came from Wecansexy’s fanart, Lil Hal’s human form seen in the recent update was a popular design from the fandom, Caliborn’s OC was based off an old piece of fanart, several of the Beforan trolls are based off of fan archtypes, and so forth.  

Hussie knows exactly what kinda stuff is going down in the fandom.

what happened in the newest update? aka the one with vriskagram, [S] ACT 6 ACT 6 INTERMISSION 5

It summarized some of what changed in the retconned timeline

Uh...Why is vriska here now?

Because John stopped Terezi from killing her.
