Oh wait, but question number 3! John zapped the kids to Caliborn using his powers, which means that Caliborn's original alpha timeline didn't account for that. That means, to create stable loops, that the original Cal!timeline involved Caliborn and Arquius and Gamzee getting sucked into Lil Cal and getting sent back without the use of John's zappy powers, right? That needs to happen to be stable, but the horrorterror's original alpha intentions can't include John's retcons by definition.
But they had to account for the retcon in order for
the creation of Lil’ Cal and Lord English to be in a stable timeloop. The retcon was always apart of the alpha timeline because without the retcon the session would have failed.
Hey sorry if this is asked already but can a person go God Tier if their dreamself is dead? I'm just wondering since Jade went God Tier but her dreamself was sorta alive because she was a sprite... Anyway I'm asking if a person can go God Tier if their dreamself is DEAD and not a sprite. By the way, I like your blog!
Thank you, and yes a person can ascend without a dreamself if they use their Sacrificial Slab located at the heart of the player’s dream planet’s moon.
Something that's always confused me is why did Terezi's eyes turn red when she was blinded if her blood is teal?
There’s a theory saying that in troll society bright red=damaged. Terezi’s eyes were damaged and turned Red. Karkat has something wrong with his pigment gland and his blood turns red. Wearing bright Red gives the illusion that the troll was gravely injured and is walking around like it’s nothing, possibly why Vriska and Terezi wear red shoes, to intimidate their opponents.
Do you think there are any terribly important things about Kankri and his character or do you think he'll remain pretty unrelated to anything for the rest of the story? Are there any key elements about him that are pretty important?
I don’t think any of the Beforan trolls, aside from Meenah and Aranea will have any impact on the story considering Hussie originally wasn’t going to introduce them.
Would it be possible to ascend twice if you were asleep on your quest bed, put your dreamself on their quest bed, and had both die at the same time?
I don’t think it’s possible to ascend twice. I also don’t think that their are multiple ascending stones. Since Skaia already knows everything about the session I think that Quest Beds are give to those that will need them and Sacrificial Slabs are given to those that will use them, and no one gets both. But that’s just my headcanon, there’s nothing mentioned about it in canon
I'd like to clarify the question about vriska and the sprites... All of the beta kids' sprites were prototyped twice right? Like johns sprite was prototyped with nana's ashes and the Harley Quinn doll. Dave's sprite was prototyped with the crow and a doomed Dave. Rose's sprite was jasper(?) and that weird cephalopod plushy. And jade's was becquerel and dream jade. So vriska would be right about jake and tavrossprite then, right? (Sorry if I did this in the wrong area. First time doing this :/ )
When John high fived his sprite it didn’t have Nanna’s ashes in it yet so it was only single tier prototyped.
We’ve also seen Kanaya’s sprite touch her and it was only single prototyped as well.
Since grandpa stuffed jade's dreamself's body through some time travel portal stuff, doesn't that mean he could have stuffed his own body through the same means?
The teleporter doesn’t work that way. He was teleproted into the future because the Medium did not exist at his time when he used the teleporter. And when he went home it teleported him right back to the time period he left. Grandpa Harley had no way to teleport into Earth’s future or even ahead of his own timeline.
You’ve probably already gotten this but: “except for Rose”? Kindly look at Jaspersprite and Roxy’s text again.
Originally Jasper and Roxy’s text colors were different, it wasn’t until after the Retcon that they became the same. This text color change may be to distinguish between the two Jaspersprites that now exist.
Has anything been confirmed about the pre-retcon sprites? Like, pre-retcon Erisol, pre-retcon Davesprite etc. Are they all on LOWAS or was it just Jaspersprite that came over?
Could you possibly link it the theory for the bright red meaning damaged please?? And what about Kanaya? Her skirt is bright red and I was wondering, like how Nepeta wears equius' colour, is it like her and Karkat without the moirailleigence? Or?
Sure. And I doubt Kanaya’s skirt is in reference to Karkat’s blood color since she didn’t know it was red until after they started playing the game.
Is Tavrosprite the same version of Tavros that went treasure hunting with Vriska? I know most of the pre retcon characters were erased but Treasure Hunting!Tavros was in the dream bubbles at the time, which seems to be unaffected by the retcon
The pre-retcon characters weren’t erased, they still exist. But no this isn’t that Tavros.
What would happen if someone fell asleep after their moon (Prospit/Derse) blew up/Got destroyed? Like with the trolls. Can they still sleep or would it be bad for them to sleep?
It was bad for them, until Feferi had the Horrorterros make special dreambubbles for her and her friends to go to when they dream or die.
I've started catching up on upd8s, but do I really have to go in the loop and re-read all the old shit I've already read when John is following Terezi's instructions about where to zap to?
wait... my friend said a thing and it fucked me up, does Tavros really have fire powers or was that just a running gag?
We’ve only seen him make fire once. So either it’s only something he can do in his dreams or he doesn’t have a use for it outside of Alternian slam poetry.
when davesprite died from being on the planet that exploded with this new timeline's old john, will davesprite live in dream bubbles now or will he just cease to exist?
The Dave that prototyped himself is now in the dreambubbles, but the sprite is no more.
WAIT. "Nanna and Grandpa were raised by the Condesce who is a troll." Does that mean that the beta kids' (John, Dave, Rose, Jade) guardians knew about Sburb?? I hadn't realized that the time loop reached back that far!
Considering Grandpa owned the company that produced it pre-scratch, yes it’s entirely possible that they knew about Sburb
Squiddles aren't trickster Horrorterrors. "Squiddles I guess are a sort of candy coated representation of the outer gods. (...) They were not necessarily conjured into existence by the gods, via dark conspiracy either. It's more likely that humans created them as an echo of their subconscious awareness that these gods exist, and present them through this cute, approachable facade."— Andrew Hussie
Doesn’t going trickster turn the user into candy coated representations of themselves though?
Okay, so if Jack Noir already killed the Beta Kid's Black King, then is their new goal to kill the Alpha Kid's black king to be able to win? Or is it hopeless for both sets of kids?
Alpha kids’ black king was already killed. Given that it’s a void session he never expanded past his chess piece form and was blown of by CD.
I'm not sure exactly where things started changing after the retcon and it's been so long since I've read hs, I've got slightly confused. Kanaya's currently grey rather than white, so is she still a rainbow drinker or can she just turn off her light now?
She’s still a rainbow drinker. Porrim taught her how to turn it off.
My friend and I were having a debate about this and was wondering if you could help clear it up. I keep saying Gamzee is Jane's patron troll, but she says it's Feferi. Can you help us figure out the true patron troll of Jane?
Well if Jane has a patron Troll then it would probably be Gamzee. I don’t see how it’d be Fef. But the only Alpha kid to have a canon Patron troll is Jake, and his patron troll isn’t even a troll, he’s more of a Patron Manbro, it’s Caliborn.
Apparently it’s asexual awareness day, so to all my followers and the users of tumblr, be aware, I am watching you and there’s nothing you can do to stop me and if you dare raise a hand against me I will sic the Homestucks on you and that is a fate far worse than death but not quite as bad as Superwholocks.
