Has nepeta done anything really important?

Stopped Equius from possibly killing a bunch of people by being his Moirail, got Aradia, possibly the most helpful member in their session into the game, AND most importantly fucking allowed Fefeta to exist, poor, sweet, dear, precious Fefeta.

2 questions. 1: what are all the kids' quests? 2: how do they find them out?

John’s was to free the fireflies, which he did by removing his planet of oil

Rose’s is to play the rain and bring life back to her planet’s ocean

Jade’s was to stroke the forge and breed the frogs

Dave’s hasn’t been stated directly in canon, it could relate to the Forge or the legendary blade Caledfwlch.

The Alpha kids’ has not been stated.

They learn their quests by learning their planet’s lore and by speaking with their denizen.

Can Caliborn control minds?

No.

What do Heroic and Just mean, and are there any other kinds of deaths?

No there are no other kind of death that leads God Tier’s to their eternal slumber.

To answer the other part of your question I quote Doc Scratch when Rose:

Broadly, mysteriously, and according to the case of the individual.
One may be killed by opposing a corrupt adversary and die for a just cause, as through martyrdom, for instance. This would be heroic.
Or one may be subject to corruption, and slain by a hero. This would be just.

are the trolls and humans still playing sburb/Sgrub to present?

The humans are still playing Sburb and the trolls are helping them, yes.

Do all Time player have the ability to reset a session.

If they possess needlekind and their session hadn’t been reset prior then yes.

i was under the impression that the trolls had 24 hours to beat the black king and spent those several weeks hiding in the veil AFTER they'd beaten him

That can’t be true because Karkat and Kanaya were frog breeding for weeks.  If they had left the Incipisphere after a day they couldn’t have done that.

wait are u doing asks yet or no

no

Is there a reason that Dirk made Jake kiss his head?

To wake up his dreamself that was unconscious 

When the session is won, who would be able to take over the new universe? Would it be all the kids, just the beta kids (since its their frog), or just the alpha kids (since its their session)?

It should be all the kids. 

There’s no basis for this in canon but I like to believe that anyone that walks through the end game door has some ownership to the new universe.

Can we have a random forgotten fact about Mr. Horuss Zahhak?

He starts all his sentences with a happy horse face 8=D

Wait, when they win the session, what will happen to the trolls??

They’ll go with them

have we ever seen dirk and jake have an actual conversation in homestuck? which doesn't involve brain ghost dirk or AR?

They’ve had just 1 one-on-one’s seen in canon.  It was  just Dirk asking where Jake is and Jake ignoring him.  

When do we find out Dave's eyes are red? I don't remember that part

It pops up a few times, the first of which I believe being [S] Jade: Wake Up

does anyone ever call karkat "kitkat" in comic or is that purely a fandom thing

Fanon

Is Caledfwlch even a thing someone can pronounce?

(Kal-ed-vool-ch) Caledfwlch being the original Welsh name of Caliburn, aka Excalibur

How long has it been since we've seen an underling on screen? (Not counting carapaceans)

I don’t want to say Act 6 Act 4, but I’m really thinking it was Act 6 Act 4, so it’s been like 2.5 years : /

Seeing as part of him is Dirk and Gamzee, can Lord English drop some sick rhymes?

Don’t forget that Equius was also a slam poet, 3/4th of Lord English are rappers, so there’s no doubt in my mind that the final fight of Homestuck will be a rap off between the Striders & Tavrosprite vs. LE

((How long does it usually take to respond to a message?))

It really depends, somewhere between 5 minutes and two years

about that ask pertaining if time players could reset timelines, could you explain that a little more? where does it say they can do that, and why is needlekind necessary?

In order to reset the timeline you need to initiate a Scratch.  If the player’s session had already been Scratched they can’t do it again.  In order for a Scratch to be initiated someone who has Needlekind must wield the Quills of Echidna  to scratch the session’s Scratch constructed located on the time player’s planet.

Have any of the megidos done anything you’d consider bad??

They’ve all kinda murdered some people, that’s kinda bad.

Can you explain lord english ,like how is he part dirk and all tht i didnt really get tht i do know dirk trapped his soul in cal and he got ripped and stuff (i do know about him when he was young like the journey w/ the leprechauns and the screens)

Lil Hal, Dirk’s computerized self was part of Arquiussprite who also got stuck in Lil Cal and became part of Lord English.  So essentially LE is part 13 year of Dirk 

Whats a Patron Troll? And how are you assigned one?

For the kids in story a Patron troll is just a troll that helped that specific kid a lot through their session.

So is Sburb won when the team kills the black king qnd successfully breeds the genesis frog?

Basically

Older answer, but did Jane ever get actual proof that Roxy's mom wasn't around?

Apart from learning Roxy was from the future, no.  Roxy’s mom was still alive when Jane was on Earth.

Can explain what the Yellow Yard is. I know it's The Yard Stick Hussie places between the two 4th walls that John and Jade traveled between but what is its purpose of being between the walls in the first place?

Okay so Hussie is a character in the story and he said that while his self-insert’s appearances would increase his direct involvement with the story would be limited to the space of one yard. That one yard being the Yellow Yard, or the two fourth walls he set up for John and Jade to travel between.  

Why did it take the Prospitian Battleship 3 years to cross the yellow yard?

Because they were just moving so fast that the 3 seconds it actually took them felt like three years to them. Physics were involved.

Can a strike specibes be given or is it just something a player has.

A strife specibus is just a card and can be given.

If Calliope is waking Jane and Jade up with the yellow brick road of magic, what'll happen to her? She's dreams so she can't exactly wake up, yet she's getting rid of the place she's residing??? Idk I'm probably being silly :P

The yellow brick road is not Calliope waking up the kids. She was going to use anti-sleep majykks to wake them up but didn’t get the chance because they fell through the floor and are now on this new adventure to figure what the fuck is going on. Jane was awoken by Arquius removing her tiaratop which is why she vanished.

has damara ever interacted with the humans

Yes, in the third openbound flash she can talk to Rose and Dave

do trolls naturally have the whole tentacle bulge thing or was that just a fan thing????

They do have a bulge, it being a tentacle though is fanon.

Im a little confused on the whole DaveKat is cannon thing, because ive heard it is but the ive also heard its not, and if they are pale or flushed, im just confused :o

They are in some kind of relationship but it has not been specified as to what kind it is.

If in reality hey only traveled for three seconds, how did they age three years?

So for in comic characters moving at normal speed (ex. Spades Slick, Ms.Paint, etc) the battleship took only 3 seconds to move between the walls but to those on the ship it lasted 3 years because they were moving so fast through space that they moved through time at a rate significantly slower than usual. The concept applied to this is a real thing called Time Dilation, I recommend you look into that for a more thorough explanation.

But how come Terezi could see ghost-Dirk?

She is a Seer of Mind and thus could See brain-ghost-dirk, a figment of Jake’s Mind

Is Dirk gay or bi or.....?

He doesn’t like to label his sexuality but we know from his post-trickster convo with Jane that’s he’s only into dudes.

Time Dilation works the opposite way, though! If you're going super fast (or, more accurately, accelerating to a super fast speed then decelerating back down) then LESS time passes for you than for people that aren't moving. I'm pretty sure that it's just because The Place Beyond The Fourth Wall Is Just Weird, or Hussie might be Making It Happen Thru Narrator Majyyks

I don’t know much about physics, and I’ve gotten a decent amount of messages like this so I’m inclined to believe you. My bad.

A friend and i were talking about a situation where you wind up with a knight of space. Is it said anywhere in canon that ONLY knights can help the space player breed frogs?

No, it doesn’t even say in canon that a knight has to help with the breeding, that’s just fanon theory.

Do cherubs need dream selves in order to live?

No. In fact the Cali twins are the only cherubs to have dreamselves.

whats going to keep the winners from killing each other for power of their universes after this is all over?

Nothing, that’s a very real thing that could happen. But it seems unlikely given our cast of protagonists.

WHAT IS THAT RED FLASHY BIT AFTER ARQUIUS GETS THAT TIARA OFF JANES HEAD IN THE NEWEST UPDATE

It flashes DISOBEY in contrast to the OBEY displayed when she was first corrupted by the tiaratop

why didnt dave get bird wings or something when he god tiered like jade got the dog ears?

Davesprite was not prototyped with Dave’s dreamself.

no not in the sense of straight up changing their clothes, like in the ministrife when meenah changed the top of her outfit a few times

No limitation to this ability has been stated. Ministrife was actually the only time it’s been seen or mentioned.

In [s] Wake, when aradia reaches godtier, it was in her sacrificial slab, in derse's(I think she was dersite) moon, so since she saw the slabs, shouldn't that mean she has memories of the slabs? Do you think other dersite trolls could godtier via dream bubble? It would only work for the beta trolls, since I'm pretty sure we haven't learned how meenah and aranea godtiered, and they might have memories of the slabs too, and the memories might not work as a method of ascension. What do you think?

Possibly, but the only remaining alive non-God tier troll that was a Derse dreamer is Sollux.

Forgive me if this has been answered, but has it been confirmed that the Alternian trolls are the Beforian ancestors?

Yes although the only one we know about is Feferi, being the Beforan Empress.

Are the ancestors in the dream bubbles too?

No

What needle kind weapon was Rose using when she ascended to godtier?

The Thorns of Oglogoth were what she was using right before she ascended.
