How did Rose And Dave ascend to God Tier?

They exploded themselves with the Tumor while standing on their Sacrificial Slabs

What things can appear in dream bubbles? Is it strictly memories?

Memories, and anything in the furthest ring that passes through them such as the Meteor or Caliborn’s juju

Have Sollux and Aradia ever met in person before Aradias death (not counting when he killed her)? And what did Sollux mean when he said to Aradia in front of the Green Sun that he could only see 2D, could he see her or anybody at all?

They’ve probably met given Aradia said “ He surely would have told you if he was making the trip all the way out here from his hive stem

And when Sollux said he could only see in 2D he meant that he was blind in one eye so he had no depth perception.

How do you play sburb with no blips in the system, as in, how do u play as it's supposed to be

Karkat’s session was actually a (fairly) normal one.

So can you remind us of the stages of the battlefield?

Pre-Prototypes

One Prototype

Two Prototype


Three Prototype


Four Prototypes surrounds it with a Mobius Net

For the Trolls it was probably every three prototypes that shifted the battlefield.

what does it all mean

unfollowing bc homestuck sucks

how did sollux lose his eyes? page source?

Eridan did it. 

How the heckie do you guys know so much

Have you forgotten that I’m actually literally Caliborn? ~Mod T

If you're really Calliborn, why are you so helpful?

What IS the Mobious Net around The Final Battlefield, and what point does it have?

It’s just a net, probably used as a defense against the Reckoning to hold off meteors from hitting the actual Battlefield.

After Sollux was first knocked out from the fight with Eridan, wasn't he completely blind? If so, how did he go from that to half-blind?

Okay, this is kinda difficult to explain, so there was blind sollux and a ghost sollux and when blind Sollux died the two kind of merged into a half-ghost Sollux that was blind in one eye. And then pre-retcon the ghost was sucked out to make Erisol so then he was 100% alive but entirely blind. 

We don’t actually know how that works, it probably has something to do with him having two dreamselves.

When do you learn about Feferi being the Beforan empress?

Aranea speaks about their Empress here.  She never mentions that it was Feferi but we can tell it was her pre-scratch counterpart based the fact that Culling in Beforan society means what Feferi wanted to change it to on Alternia when she was empress.

Wait rose wasn't buried in the lowas wasn't she buried in lopan???

No, Roxy buried her on LoWaS

I never understood this - if the Alpha session needed a fully evolved Battlefield, and the beta's Battlefield had the Mobius Net, why didn't Jade take the net with it? The Battlefield she has now isn't the "fully evolved" one, right?

It’s fully evolved, the Mobius Net is needed to stop the Battlefield from being destroyed by the Reckoning.  There will be no Reckoning in the Alpha session so the Net isn’t needed.

but could jade have known that already when she took beta!skaia before it got scratched away?

Probably not, but she could have not resized it and kept it with her if the Reckoning happened.

I have a question. Let's say a player lives in an apartment complex and has to transport their house to the medium. Do you think the whole building would be transported along with all the people in it?

No, Dave lived in an apartment and no one else entered with him

Is Jasprosesprite^2 technically a 3rd tier sprite? Because Jaspersprite was prototyped twice. And Rosesprite was prototyped once.

I guess, kinda?

In an ask a while ago, I asked what would happen if Rosesprite and Jaspersprite combined, and now it actually happened and that's crazy!! What do you think is gonna happen ???

Roxy’s Post-retcon dead body is prototyped then all the sprites have an orgy hug fest = Roxtavjasprosesprite^4 and then they’re gonna get mixed with Calliope and the Ring of Life to form Lord English’s benelovent counterpart.

where did the derse moon symbol come from on jasprosesprite^2?

Maybe from Rose being a Derse dreamer, maybe from the Eldrich Doll used in Jaspersprite

actually the jasprospap thing is just two teirs because its a sprite being prototyped with a sprite, which just so happened to already be two prototyped. the squared is because the name has to account for all parties involved in a sprite, since one of them already had sprite in the name its shorter to say "sprite^2" than "spritesprite"

Yeah

What if two people were in close proximity to each other when entering the medium? Or other people were near the sburb objects (Totem Lathe, Alchemiter, ect...), like Dad was when john entered the medium?

They would come with, see: all the Alpha kids entering together.

So it has been confirmed that you can prototype a sprite with a sprite, do you think that JASPROSESPRITE^2 has legs because a player was prototyped?

I dunno man, maybe? sprite layering mechanics are gonna be a pain in the butt to figure out.

TaRquiusprite^2. Tavrosprite + ARquiusprite new theory.

That’s a fun idea but ARquius has to stay ARquius so that he can become part Lord English.

would troll jane be a mutant cause her blood is light blue or is Hussie telling us not to care about the hemospectrum at this point?

Hussie has said that there are more colors in the hemospectrum than the 12/13 we’ve seen

Since this might actually become relevant now that all of the beta kids have been prototyped with their respective animals: what animal did you say John was associated with again?

Bunny

Hmany pre-scratch sprites hitched a ride on IIowas into the alpha timeline?

Probably just the one, but maybe more, we’ll find out

as shown in the beginning of homestuck a single layer of prototyping results in a still useless sprite, so why is tavrosprite not like this, is it because he is a sentient being? this would explain becsprite and also applies to rosesprite

forgottenhsfacts:

It may be because he’s a sentient creature. Becquerel is sentient and so is Rose so that may be why they’re a full sprite and not a floating circle. The harlequin doll and the crow Dave accidentally prototyped were also both prototyped pre-entry so that may be why they were a floating circle for a while.

Actually the sprite were a circle pre-entry because they still had their kernel. Once entering the kernel hatches and sprite grows its tail. There are certain exceptions for this such as Becsprite being a first guardian and Jaspersprite being double prototyped pre-entry. The Alpha kids’ sprites kept their kernels because they weren’t prototyped. Once prototyped the kernels left which is why Tavrossprite and Rosesprite have their full forms

(Psst, snartled is probably talking about the time Dirk let the glitches get to him. It was sort of unexpected. He did it because he couldn't save Jake in the doomed timeline right?)

Because he couldn’t save anybody, he wasn’t there when his friends needed him and he couldn’t handle it.

I was going back to read some old scenes of homestuck and I had some issues because of the retcon stuff so I was wondering if it's still possible to read homestuck with preretcon stuff or is the comic itself altered to only retcon ?

The story in its entirely has changed with little oil and hands spread throughout it. The points that John travels to and messes with stuff have two paths and you can only read the post-retcon path of you have the password from later on in the story.

I'm not sure if anyone has asked this before but, why do trolls get wings when they go god tier??

Because trolls are an insect based race.

sorry if this has been asked before, but i'm not quite sure how the alpha kids got into their planets - i thought sprites were what initiated the location change?

No, Sprites influence the Battlefield and underlings.  Breaking the cruxite artifact is what initiates the location change.

Do you believe Bro was under the influence of Lil Cal? I don't believe so because of his shades? Since eyes are the door way to the soul, maybe the Striders closed that connection off with their shades so they couldn't be influenced?

I don’t believe he was being controlled, but he spent a lifetime with Cal so I doubt he escaped influence entirely even with his shades.  Being influenced by Cal didn’t cause his abusive tendencies as Dirk has been shown to possess a few of them himself and his Cal was empty, but it likely did enhance them and make them worse.  However, even if Cal influenced his behavior that still doesn’t excuse the abuse he put Dave through.

What was the abuse bro/dirk showed?

Well for starters he literally would beat the shit out of Dave all the time. Dave grew up surrounded by plush puppet porn for pete’s sake. Dave had to hide food in his room. That’s just the first few things to come to mind but there are more.

i was reading prev asks and im sorry if this has been asked before, but considering the summoner has wings (and idk if rufio does or not its been ages since my last reread) would he have been considered a god to trollkind? or because of his low blood caste would they just been like "nah, youre scum mate" and dismissed him? has this ever been answered in comic or by hussie?

Rufioh had them too. But the Summoner was definitely revered. He lead a rebellion after all so he had to at least have some type of charisma. I’m sure if he had been a highblood he would have been seen even more as a god figure.

Where do First Guardians come from and is there any reason for their existence? Does their basic purpose have anything to do with Doc Scratch being a servant of Lord English?

First Guardians are created in Sburb through ectobiology, their purpose being to protect their assigned planet and to oversee its growth.

Sorry if this was asked before, but what panel was jack noir prototyped into bec noir?

That would be [S] Jade: Enter

Where does the name Jackspers Noirlecrow come from?

That was Bec Noir before Bec, it was mostly a joke.

Jack+Jaspers= Jackspers
Noir+Harlequinn+Crow= Noirlecrow

What happened to Mituna and why are the the other dancestors avoiding the question

The others don’t know exactly what happened except for Kurloz who was there.

He greatly overexcerted himself in an act of heroism saving everyone.

On the subject of Mituna and his accident, there's a lot of different headcanons for what he did. So out of curiosity, what do you personally think he did?

I’m partial to the theory that in order to protect his friends he wrote the ~ATH code so that English couldn’t enter the universe and to give his group more time to figure out how to beat him and then was manipulated by Kurloz into blasting the server it was held on into the Furthest Ring so it would be where it needed to be to make a stable timeloop.

Mituna has been said to be lucid around Kurloz so Kurloz could just be fucking with his mind all the time except for when they’re alone together so that he doesn’t tell anyone what Kurloz did.

Why do only the orange bloods or uh, brown bloods gain wings without going godtier?

It’s a mutation that Rufioh/ The Summoner had and possibly Tavros too

wasn't Dirk's Lil Cal the same one as Dave's Bro's Lil Cal, since it was on the meteor with him? So they both could've been at least partially influenced by it, though it's hard to say.

Two of the same juju can’t exist at the same time so Dirk’s didn’t have any souls in it like Bro’s did.

Time for the most important question there is: When will the Homestuck map update?

I dunno, Hussie’s been busy, I’m sure he’ll get to it eventually.

Why is it so hard to get tiger?

Because hunting tigers is illegal.

What is "get tiger" exactly, some HS pages I can't see cause my tablet doesn't support it..

In an old Hussie Q&A someone misspelled God Tier as Got Tiger and it’s just become an ongoing joke.

Who was controlling Jade in her Grimbark mode?

The Condesce

Wait what's the homestuck map? Is it like terezi/vriskas map?

All mspa stories have a map. They’re kinda like photo summaries of the stories. You can find them on mspa by clicking the Map link at the top of the page

Actually, only Homestuck and Problem Sleuth have maps. Hussie was apparently supposed to get to the other two eventually, but considering how old/abandoned they both are, he probably won't at this point.

Thank you for pointing that out. I just saw their links and assumed, my bad.

Did Bro ever use Dave for porn in canon?

No, god no, he was bad but he wasn’t that bad

What *DID* bro do to dave

Physically abuse him, deprive him of food (at least to the point where Dave had to keep food in his room) and affection, raised him in an inappropriate environment, etc.
