Okay, can you explain the Meenah situation with her hiding out on a moon? Like did it happen before the sgrub game was played or something? I'm just kinda confused on it.

Yes it happened before Sgrub. She hid on the moon because she didn’t want to become Empress.

if he's just a doll, period, then why does he move when NOT around Hussie?

Because Hussie wasn’t the one pulling his strings.

Was it ever confirmed that the trolls have tentabulges?

No

Wait I thought doc scratch was alive?

He was. He’s half puppet on his father’s side though.

How do the trolls know English?

He’s their Grim Reaper

I meant the english language

Oh..because they speak English, they just don’t call it English. Like how Damara speaks with an East Beforan accent which is just Japanese.

Wait, if the trolls have Lusii, where would Gamzee get the phrase "motherfucker"?

It’s an icp reference

Did the psiionic die? (Isnt he alive but still in the ship?) And isnt the disciple still alive as well?

Psiionic was killed by the Vast Glub and the Disciple died presumably through natural causes.

I have a question!! I vaguely remember that moments before Rose entered the game, she noticed that many other people were playing Sburb at the moment, which caused meteors to frantically rain on Earth, destroying it. Is it safe to assume that there might be other humans who managed to enter the medium but in other sessions, unconnected to that of our 8 main human kids and, therefore, unbeknownst to them?

Yes, although based on the walkthroughs written by others playing the game a lot of them never entered.

Did the Vast Glub happen after the Trolls won their session or while they were still kids living normal lives on Alternia?

It happened after all of them except for Feferi and Sollux had entered.

When did we get to know about LE being the trolls' grim reaper?

TEREZI: H3 1S 4 M4N W1TH 4 FR1GHT3N1NG SKULL FOR 4 H34D 4ND 4 T3RR1BL3 HYPNOT1C GL4R3
TEREZI: 4LL TH3 L3G3NDS S4Y H3S GOT TH1S SUP3R FOXY H4NDM41D TO DO H1S D1RTYWORK

Would that mean there could be alternian players that entered the medium at the same time as the zodiac trolls?

Not in story. For the kids Sburb was manufactured and distributed by a corporation (Skaianet pre-scratch and Crocker Corp post). For the trolls however Sollux created it using ancient tech Aradia found in a frog temple and only sent it to the 12 that were playing.

In other words, Sollux sacrificed himself to save Feferi (who managed to enter the medium)? Is this what that scene of Karkat crying while being slapped by Jack (with Gamzee stoned in the background, honking) was about?

No Karkat was Sollux’s server player and was crying because he felt Sollux’s death was his fault for not getting him in fast enough.

Can a troll have two moirails?

No

whats ur fave frequently forgotten fact

Karkat only fought with one Sickle. He has never been seen dual-wielding and likely can’t since his Strife Specibus is Sicklekind and not 2xSicklekind

How does Karkat feel about the blackrom with Terezi and John

He doesn’t seem against it.

So according to this information regarding the public availability of Sburb/Sgrub in human and troll societies/market, this means that headcanons where other children/humans entered the game and lived/are living their own adventures are plausible and supported by the official canon, whereas headcanons where other trolls (not included amongst the 24 we know) entered the game are not?

Nope, other trolls playing has no basis in canon. Although if you want to write a fanventure there are definitely ways around it. In a fanventure I was planning three years ago one of my trolls was supposed to play with Sollux but he booted him in preference for someone else after he sent the code and my old fantroll copied it and sent it to their friends and that was how they played.

Is there any way one person could acquire a link for trickster mode, all the way in the beginning? Because I am afraid that during the omega-pause, there will be nothing to do! And it never hurts to start again from a new perspective :)

Do you mean for the Trickster mode theme of the website? Because I can’t get that one to stick, probably due to it’s heavy gif load.

But if you want a different theme for the site I’d suggest using the sbahj one

How can regular people of average learning capacities acquire Rose's and Dirk's extensive vocabulary?

Books

Why is there a thing called ....well i forgot it but all the beta kids are rather scary dave has a mask on and is a weird bird rose is some kind of vine cat and jade is some dag and john is like a creepy jester thing?

I think you’re referring to Heinoustuck, a popular fanventure from 2012

Would you mind summarizing what happened in the new flash?

We saw a flashbacks to when the Scourge Sisters were little and we saw bunch of people that died wake up as ghosts. Then (Vriska) and Game Over Terezi meet and hugged while looking at the cracks in spacetime.

I read the new update and I'm confused about something, in [S] Terezi: Remember. You can see pre-retcon!Karkat in a Prospit outfit. Does this mean this works as an replacement for his dreamself? Just because of the outfit, will it still work for retcon!Karkat to reach god tier then? (Or maybe this is really stupid reasoning :p)

No, that’s just Karkat’s dead dreamself. Dreamselves have their own ghosts.

the last upd8 let me confused, it shows that every dead in homestuck leaves a ghost, dreamselfs, people who dies on questbeds or even people that are then revived via kisses, did i got that right? if that so, why eridan and eequius leaved a ghost if they were revived via sprite? like, when tavrisprite or fefetasprite ware created their ghosts leaved the dreambubbles until they exploded, and as far i understud erisol and arquisprite^2 escaped with the other sprites or were erased on the retcon

I assumed that the murderstuck trolls waking up as ghost was a thing that happened in the past, not a thing that happened just now.

are there two aradias?

Possibly. That still isn’t exactly clear. We see Sollux with Aradia on 9841 flying unassisted which means he isn’t blind which would indicate a post-retcon Sollux. But we don’t know if the pre-retcon one still exists. Same goes for Aradia.

Why does Terezi say she does not remember in the upd8?

She said she doesn’t remember the lives that Doomed Timeline Terezis lived.

What was the song used in (S) Terezi: Remember?

Do You Remem8er Me

wait when did karkat's dream self die?

Way back in Act 5. He was killed by Bec Noir along with all the other trolls’ (except Vriska’s)  dreamselves.

What does "GO!" mean? I have seen diagrams of where the different characters are and I forgot what "GO!" meant when in reference to trolls.

It means from the timeline where [S] Game Over happens. It’s shorthand for Pre-Retcon.

why is terezi using her mind powers?

Because she wants to?

I understand that Meenah found the original Sgrub in the Pink Moon, but how did it get there? Was it planted there on purpose by Lord English?

Frog Temple on a meteor

When is it mentioned that Dirk likes Anime and My little Pony>

It’s never mentioned that he likes anime but he does like mlp, although strictly academically

not really a homestuck fact but a fandom fact do u remember when toblerone was a meme in the fandom or did i just dream that up

ok, should've put it differently. what is the relevance of her usage right now or is it simply her wanting to remember GO!Terezi's life?

She wants to remember what she did in the GO timeline. Plus it leaves us on a really comfy spot to wait out the omegapause

Are (Vriska) and (Terezi) in a dream-bubble right now? Because I really can't tell.

Yes

do we ever see Aradia's lusus?

Yes

Which human(s) did Nepeta talk to?

Rose is the only one on record

I don't really understand the john's dad/ jane's dad character. Like dave's bro is Dirk and jade's grandpop is Jake and Rose's mom is roxy but john's dad/ jane's dad never has a different scratch self. can you explain him to me?

He is a biological child created by Nanna/Poppop respectively.

Do all seers remember the lives doomed versions of themselves lived?

No

hey so one thing thats bugging me- how did ARquiusprite release the grist hoard for the Ultimate Alchemy when the hoard is supposed to be guarded by the denizens and only unlocked upon their death

I imagine Arquius confronted all the denizens himself. But I guess we’ll find out after the pause is finished.

when did jake broke up with dirk?

Dirk broke up with Jake here

Why do sprites fuse with things they touch?

That’s just how sprites work

Is English the trolls first language?

presumably since we’ve never seen them speak anything else except for Damara

If Doc Scratch was the First Guardian of Alternia, Becquerel was the FG of Pre-scratch Earth and God Cat the FG of Post-scratch Earth, who was the First Guardian of Beforus? Also, who were the Beforian ancestors of the 12 zodiac trolls? As I can remember, only Meenah's ancestor was mentioned but not by name.

We don’t know anything about anything you asked about

Why is Andrew's worldbuilding so poor, lacking so many important facts that could potentially enrich the plot?

Like what? I find Hussie’s worldbuilding to be pretty good. Homestuck is very expansive.

Who is fedorafreak?

One of Dad Egbert’s friends that played Sburb

was rose remembering stuff from davesprites timeline cannon or just a popular thing in fanon.

Canon

so the terezi thats been with them this whole time was dead? what? how?

No. The dead terezi from the flash is from the pre-retcon timeline

so im uncertain but did (vriska) and (terezi) die?

I’m gonna say no but it’s unclear

Well we did see Aradia (while greeting Eridan) with what appeared to be a blind Sollux? Was that simply an earlier point in time or another Aradia/Sollux entirely?

That Sollux was halfdead so it was either post-retcon Sollux or pre-retcon from before Erisol was prototyped which is possible considering Eridan was right there.

Ok so the John the died on his questbed Left a ghost, and now his dreamself is him? I don't really know why but the update got me thinking about it again and I realized I forgot

Yes. Both the real self and dreamself leave ghosts.
