Do you think I can add DaveKat to my list of canon ships under the "red" column yet? Also sorry about that anon who was rude to you

Based on facts in canon, yes I think you can. There are those that would argue though.

Wait, so if its still speculation how can you count it as canon? Also, why wouldn't Jasprose be referring to Terezi? From what we've seen Karkat hasn't been obsessive and controlling over Dave, so how can that be referring to him?

“Desired” is not filled. Jasprose was talking about two separate people. Referring to Terezi when speaking of Karkat’s old desired matespriteship and to someone else when discussing this fulfillment of the quadrant.

Why did that anon think you were being rude? You seem pretty polite to me.

Probably because I said pissbaby which I don’t consider a real insult but apparently there are those who do.

Is there any explanation as to why jasprosesprite^2 and Davepetasprite^2 have dreamer outfits worked into their design

That just seems to be how sprite^2s work

So, jasprosesprite^2 called Davesprite their bird brother... and now davesprite and nepetasprite are prototyped together... Can jasprose still date them?????

I don’t see why not. There’s no longer a human society to consider incest a taboo so there wouldn’t be anything inherently wrong with a potential relationship between the squared siblings unless they considered it to be wrong.

Plus trolls don’t have a concept of incest and Davepeta is part troll. Although knowing Hussie, and Homestuck’s audience I’m pretty sure nothing will happen between the two characters romantically speaking in canon

do you still like homestuck, even after the months of stupid updates?

Excuse me, I braved through the 2012 Micropauses, the Megapause and the fucking Gigapause, my enjoyment of Homestuck unscathed, never did it falter. There ain’t nothing on this Earth or beyond that’s going to stop me from liking Homestuck

Hi, me again, I just wanted to say that I reread the update and you're absolutely right, I misread what Jasprose said. I didn't see when she said "he is currently involved with someone in that quadrant", I thought she was talking about when he was pursuing Terezi on Jasprose's version of the meteor. Sorry! I ship Davekat, too, you'd think I would've noticed that. XD

You’re welcome!  And to make it perfectly clear to everyone, I DON’T EVEN SHIP DAVEKAT, I’m just reporting the facts as they’re told and meant to be read.

Is there a way to read Homestuck without the flashy-ness? The flashing images give me serious headaches, and I'm curious if there's an epileptic-friendly version. I'm probably gonna be severely disappointed if there isn't tbh... I tried to read Homestuck before, but after a while, the incessant use of flashing has made it impossible for me to read it.

I’m pretty sure there is, that definitely sounds like a thing I’ve heard about, but I don’t know. I’m just gonna post this and peeps can reblog or reply with something it they know.

Lol, do you expect the next 7 pre pause updates do be as *ahem* 'interesting?' I feel like the Hussmaster is going to enjoy leaving us with some *sneeze* thoughts before the pause

The upd8s are probably just gonna be everyone finishing up their individual conversations and regrouping for the big fight. 

if you don't ship davekat, then what do you ship?

I have a page for that in the faq actually. Towards the bottom.

What's the difference between Retconning (windypowaz) and Timeline shenanigans?

Retconning doesn’t create doomed timelines and you don’t have to worry about creating stable timeloops like you do with normal timetravel

Do you answer all your asks? (Wow you have a lot today)

Oh honey, we have very different definitions of a lot

hi! sorry if this is a bit unrelated in spite of current events but, im making a fancomic and i dont have a rage or blood player. would the game still be able to work without them? thanks

Yes, only TIme and Space are necessary for a functional session

Do you think Hussie did what he did as a lazy way to appease 2 different shipper groups (Davekat and Katnep)

No, that’s not even the Dave that he is dating, it ain’t gonna make a difference to him

Pardon me for asking, but why did Jake keep on talking to Jane, asking for dating advice?

Because Jane is his friend

Alright I gotta settle this bullshit once and for fucking all because I've been getting hate over it. I'm not angry at Homestuck or Hussie in and of itself. I realize there's a rhyme and/or reason to the shit going on right now in-comic. Thing is the way everything is getting so goddamned convoluted is turning into pretty much happened to cause the show Heroes to get cancelled. And yeah I was pissed when I sent the original fucking message. But I just do not like how the comic has been going (1)

(2) lately, but it’s still a comic I’m invested in. I was mad when [S] Game Over happened too, but that was more for the fact of excessive overkill even for Hussie than it was for plot reasons. And aside of my argument, as an anon pointed out: yes, I feel as if you calling me a pissbaby was rude. I did not appreciate it, since there was no reason for it other than the fact that I was sending in an opinion, which a lot of people have done to this blog without being called names. It fucking hurt.

Okay, 1) to all my followers out there don’t fuckin send people hate, especially over something as stupid as a webcomic, gosh, I don’t condone that shit.

2) Luckily, Homestuck is a webcomic and not a television show so it can’t be cancelled, no matter how stupid or outlandish it becomes.

3) The reason everyone died in GAME OVER was to give John a reason to retcon everything. If only one or two people died, that’s not really a good enough reason to alter the Alpha timeline, especially with John’s view on death. Everyone needed to die or else John wouldn’t have done it

4) You are free to think Homestuck is weird or not-plot oriented now, but in my opinion the Trickster arc was much weirder and even less plot-oriented because now we’re at least getting character development.

Gotta say, I love the new, sassier brand of question answering that mod T brings to the party.

I can’t really say this is new. Once every few month or so there’s just one day where I go all out. Usually it ends in everyone having a fun time, this one got a little more sour than usual though.

What is all this talk of davepetasprite^2? I'm way behind on updates

God Dammit, I FORGOT TO TAG UPD8 STUFF AGAIN.  You just focus on catching up. Ignore all this davepeta business. These are not the sprites you’re looking for

Hi, I'm new to the whole homestuck thing. Should I start reading homestuck, all my friends say no but it looks interesting.

Do your friends read homestuck? If yes, I can assure you they are saying no in a joking fashion and you should read homestuck. If no, don’t listen to them, they haven’t read homestuck, they don’t know what the jazz is all about, you should read homestuck.   

My guess about the alpha trolls and dream bubbles is that it's as with everything else in the game, once the dream bubbles were created, they always existed (sorry for weird wording, not my main language)

You worded that perfectly fine, not weird at all, good job.  But yeah, you’re right.

So, are we gonna ship Davepeta/Jasprose now? ;3

Probably not, but I feel like it’d be black if anything.

If dave and nepeta were both prototyped wearing pants, why does davepetasprite^2 have a dress?

Nepeta was prototyped as a head not wearing any clothes, why did Nepetasprite have a jacket?

Is Davepetasprite^2 the first sprite to have feet?

No, Jasprose has feets as well

Why did Ghb kill dualscar?

Dualscar told a bad joke

When did post-retcon Davesprite die on screen?

He didn’t die on screen, Jade told us he died when she was telling stories to Calliope

There aren't anymore empty kernelsprites for some horrific ^4 sprite is there?

No, we’re all good

Who all has been locked up in Derse jail?

Dad Egbert, Dad Crocker, Caliborn, Roxy, and Jake.  I think that’s it but I might be missing one.

Wait how can jasprosesprise^2 access other roses memories?

A perk of being a Seer and a Sprite^2

How were gamzee and vriska able to prototype the alpha's sprites for them? Weren't they on the meteor??

Time travel

how come the pre retcon sprites were able to follow john and roxy? does this mean pre retcon arquius, erisol, and pre retcon jasprose could come on over at any time they like?

They were on John’s planet when he telported it into the new session. It is likely that pre-retcon Arquius and Erisol are also around. There is no pre-retcon jasprose

Do you only answer asks on this blog?

Unfortunately that is the majority of its content

Sorry if this has been asked, but why is your icon Jade?

Because Jade used to be very forgetful! 

Whom do you turn to when you have questions about Homestuck?

If I have questions about homestuck i turn to the wiki and if I can’t find my answer there I turn to the comic itself

Is Davepeta still doomed?

No

do you like it when you get asks about a topic that isnt usually asked about?

It’s better than answering the same three questions over and over.

are there two mods because one player sessions are not meant to happen??

Yes

why did hussie make the orange angst bird fuse with my precious cat this is an outrage

Davepeta is awesome dude, go read the fucking upd8

did jasper actually have a crush on nep?

Yes

don't forget to tag upd8 asks

I will try my best

Is Nepeta relevant again now? I saw you joke about this before on here, so...

No, Nepeta is never relevant. Davepeta is relevant though and while part Nepeta they are not Nepeta.

my reading comprehension skills are sub-par, could you explain what doomed!callie (or the red text one? i think shes the doomed one?) was talking abt w/ jade? none of it made a lick of sense!!

Basically, in the furthest ring the aspects are exactly the same. In order for one to function the other must as well. In the Furthest Ring when you move through Space you are also moving through Time and if you stop moving through Space then you stop moving through Time as well. The cracks LE is making is causing the aspects in the Furthest Ring to work as they do in the average universe where you can move through time without moving through Space.

At least that’s how I read it, my apologizes if it’s still too complicated.

Sorry but what's Hussnasty mode?

Hussnasty is the art style where the character is drawn realistically and with more details

So. I get that Equius, AR, and Caliborn are all components of LE. But what I don't understand is how Gamzee is apparently a component? I probably missed something but if you could clear it up for me that'd be awesome :)

Gamzee also got sucked into Lil Cal, as seen here

Was Claiborne's Kernle ever prototyped? (is lord Neplish (or Lord Davetalish) still possible)

No, Caliborn’s kernel collapsed in on itself and created a blackhole.

Any ideas as to why Nepeta's aspect's symbol wasn't incorporated into Davpetasprite^2's symbol?

Because a squared sprite is linked to every doomed iteraction of its components and while there have been at least one doomed Dave to god tier, it appears that no Nepeta has ever ascended. I just went and scanned through Ministrife and the army page to make sure and we have not seen one god tier Nepeta in canon.

Why did Rose call Jane hot?

Because Jane is hot

Since Davesprite(now Davepetaspritex2) survived the explosion does this mean the original John is alive as well?

Davesprite did not survive the explosion. This is the Davesprite from Pre-retcon that came to the post-retcon universe on John’s planet like the other Nannasprite and Jaspersprite
