how many troll

so many. so many troll.

Idk how you deal with so many frustrating asks with such grace but I see you being completely tolerant and I appreciate you putting up with so much ignorance

Thank you anon. I don’t really have the luxury of being able to be mean. Given the large number of followers this blog has if I’m anything but polite I run the risk of getting a ton of shit for it and I’d very much like to avoid that.

Who's your favourite troll?

Don't you think its a little unimaginative to have the objectively best troll as your favorite?

Not at all, he’s always been my favorite. When I first read homestuck no one liked Equius, he was practically invisible (hehe) to the fandom. The same thing could be said about Nepeta. It wasn’t until the short lived late-2012 memes of “with Equius” and “Nepeta’s dead” that the fandom as a whole started to appreciate these beautiful characters.

egberts:

the Steven universe fandom right now is exactly what the homestuck fandom was in 2012 and it is so weird to watch this happen again

Hey everyone! I submitted some designs to welovefine’s Homestuck t-shirt contest! Voting isn’t open for them until August (the 9th I think) but when you can vote I’d really appreciate it if you gave my designs some love. You can find them here:

THE PATH OF AN ARTIST

It Keeps Happening/Sweet Gam and Hella Born

how did dad egbert and mom lalonde appear in the battlefield? (dont remember which act;-;)

They got a ride on Grandpa Harley’s ship

What is with the horse calendar. I'm new to the fandom and my friends won't tell me about it. They just kind of laugh. So could you please tell me what the horse calendar is. And like why it's so important. Please. Thanks

Horse calendar signified when the comic would upd8

I know it doesn't show anything other than this in the comic, but is it possible for a lower blood to be a sea dweller? Also, only fuchsia bloods can be royalty, right?

Seadwellers are exclusive to the highest blood castes

Wait, is it canon or un-canon for a rouge to have a heir like hood? Cuz I've seen Roxy with an heir-length-thingy hood

No, Rogue hoods are a normal hood size

estimate time on the omega pause?

I’d probably say a few months. I wouldn’t be surprised if the comic resumes on 10/25 knowing how Hussie is with dates.

Did Caliborn and Calliope share a body? (Currently on act 6 act 3)

Yes

Didnt faq stand for facts and questions?

I’ve always known it as Frequently Asked Questions but both work

Are all the alpha kids mixed ages, or all the same age?

They are all 16

Okay Guys, I know that OMEGA makes it seem like the pause is going to be long. But it’s probably only going to be a few months, very similar to the cascade pause.  “Well why would Hussie use Omega if it wasn’t going to be a long pause?” Because Omega is the last letter of the greek alphabet like how this will be the last significant pause before Homestuck ends.  So don’t listen to the people freaking out, saying the pause is going to last two years or something outlandish like that because there’s a 99% chance that that isn’t how it’s gonna go down.

If it ends on that date, Homestuck will finish on my birthday! What a great present..

The best present I ever got from Homestuck was Equiusprite for Christmas in 2012. You truly couldn’t ask for a better present.

Hi! I know you are probuably already informed about the upcoming omegapause. I joined this fandom a bit later than most. I caught up about half-way through the second pause. I was wondering if you could tell me about the first and second pauses? Were they both called gigapauses? How long did they last, and when were they?

Hello! The Omega Pause is actually Homestuck’s 9th hiatus. There’s a section dedicated to the other Hiatuses on the Homestuck page on the wiki but it seems to be lacking the most recent pause.

Why did meenah suicide bomb her team when they won their session?

They didn’t win their session. She blew them up after Damara initiated the scratch so that they could live in the dreambubbles instead of being erased from existance

On the down low Jasprose confirms Davekat

Dave was wearing a suit. Nepeta was wearing her jacket. The bird had nothing. Where did Davetasprite^2's derse/god tier design come from?

That just happens for sprite^2s where a player is incorporated.

what age was john when he reached godtier?

13

if meenah had to blow everyone up after the scratch to continue existing, than how come the kids didn't have to do that?

Because they left their Incipisphere

Hey, what the heck are the whole enter password things for?!? Because I do not know what to do then and I feel like I'm supposed to enter a password.

Those are for later in the comic, ignore them for now.

Hey, is there any point where one of the characters explain the plot of SBURB/the rules? Because sometimes I get really confused about SBURB because I'm pretty dumb sometimes 😂😂😂

Act 1 & 2

So are we to assume that none of the other sprites ever touched each other prior to this?

What other sprites? All the other sprites were already double prototyped.

I got a confusion going on, brother. Did Vriska pt everyone to sleep and concocted some mindfucking with everyone getting killed by the Condence, but it turned out to be just a dream after [S] Game Over?

No, John changed the past so that everyone wouldn’t get killed, that’s all

davekat is red?

Yeah, Jasprose confirmed Karkat was in a matespriteship with someone and given all the hints recently were left to assume it’s with Dave because it’s definitely not anyone else from the meteor crew.

Wasn't Jasprose talking about Terezi in that last update?

They mentioned her as Karkat’s old crush. If Terezi was the one he went red with I don’t see why Jasprose would specify that she was his “desired matesprite”

okay am I the only one irreversibly pissed about the fact that the writing of Homestuck has gone to everloving shit? like it seriously feels like the "plot" (or whatever the fuck is left of it) is being driven by half-dead gimmicks, gloriously happenstance bullshit shenanigans, and other various things just designed to piss the readers off. Pretty much everything that's gone on post-retcon except the Matriorb thing is starting to make me feel like Hussie is trying to drive off the fanbase.

Wouldn’t you be too? Homestuck was supposed to be a one year story and yet here we are, six years in. He just wants to be done with this story man.

But that’s probably not what he’s doing. It looks like stupid shit and whatever the fuck you said now and Hussie’s gonna swoop in and do something awesome that pulls everything together making us go “oh shit” and then we realize there was foreshadowing for this from like three years ago. Then we can waggle our finger at him and go “oh that darn Andrew Hustler got us again”

But either way, shut up, stop complaining and enjoy your free story or just stopping reading. No need to be a pissbaby.

I'm pretty sure it was Terezi she was referring to because this is PRE-RETCON Rose!!!

Pre-Retcon Rose that can access the memories of other Roses.

So you said that davekat is canon red right now. I was wondering if before retcon if they were black or any other quadrants. I knew there was like a whole love triangle thing over terezi, like... i think karkat wanted both red and black with her but it didn't work out. plz tell me if i'm getting any of this wrong.

Karkat had mixed red/black feeling for Terezi, yes. Dave and Terezi were in Red pre-retcon but then she started sneaking around with Gamzee in the black quadrant which made Dave uncomfortable and he broke up with her. Karkat and Dave had no relationship between them pre-retcon.

How come Davesprite had both wings in the upd8? Didn't he lose a wing fighting Jack/Bec Noir with Bro?

It grew back like two (in-story) years ago

I don' t really mind the writing right now, because I am sure Hussie is going somewhere with it, I mean if we could all get through act 1 then we can all get through this.

Exactly

I really have no idea why anyone(even me) likes equius lol. He's a manipulative guy who is demanding and has a severe supriority complex. also the fanart is kind of weird?? it's like everyone forgot all the trolls are 13-17~

1) he was really bad at being manipulative
2) he did start to improve on that, seen when he took orders from Karkat no prob and was going out to fight Gam before he got the drop put on him
3) literally 99% of Homestuck fan art has characters looking older than they are.

How did the alpha trolls get into the dream bubbles if they were created in the A2 session?

Time works weird in the Furthest Ring

in the troll hemospectrum, a fuschia blood is supposed to be the heir to be emperor/empress. does that mean there's only ever one fuschia blood existing at a time or how does that work?

2 Fuschia bloods at a time. The current ruler and the one meant to challenge them. Upon maturing the Heiress will have to fight the current Empress to the death. After which there will be 1 until the next successor is hatched.

What do you think about Davepetasprite²? (Special question: And what about Jasprosesprite²?)

I like Jasprose, they’re fun.
As for Davepeta, they’re gonna give me a headache and I’m not really sure how Dave and Nepeta’s personalities are going to mesh together. I look forward to finding out what they’re like, it’ll definitely be interesting.

I just realized that since Dave had red relationships with both terezi and karkat, dave is canon bisexual! =D

Bi, Poly, Pan, Gay but thought he was straight since that’s considered the default by societal standards, it’s your pick.

why trolls got titties????

That’s just their battle ready armor since girl trolls are tougher than boys.

who is the current empress?

The Condesce

Isn't the battle armor thing just a headcanon

I was making a Kids Next Door joke

is the "girls trolls have boob bc armor" a canon thing or is it a fan theory?

Theory

has it been clarified what iterations of the beta kids were trapped inside the house juju treasure?

No, but it’s most likely the ones we’ve been viewing recently.

Doesn't davepetasprite's colour scheme remind you of a...pumpkin? #illuminaticonfirmed

*dusts off the old ship name for DirkJake* Ah yes, Pumpkin Patch is gonna be canon again.

Coincidence that Dave and Nepeta were/are both derse dreamers??? (X-files theme)

I mean, so were Eridan and Sollux, and Feferi and Nepeta, and Equius and Hal/Dirk. And Vriska and Tavros were both Prospit dreamers.

holy shit yall are rude to people who voice a fucking opinion. someone asks a stupid question and you just direct them to the faq like its no problem but someone voices distaste about something? how fucking dare they have an opinion lets insult for it

what happened to davesprite's sword?

It’s probably around. Davepeta has claws though so we probably won’t be seeing it again.

what genitalia does davepetasprite^2 posses

Do you think this update will be important at all?? So much random shit has already happened and I'm sure something fantastic is going to happen at the end but the lord is testing me

Everything is important in Homestuck, especially the stuff you don’t think is important

In A6A6I5, (around there), John jumps through time strands to prevent some incidents and help out their future selves by Terezi's instructions… I'm wondering how then, if Gamzee was captured by Terezi before he went on his murderous rampage, how come in the future, all of the trolls who died because of him that night are still dead in the new timeline?

He was captured after his murderspree
