wait.... why are the alpha trolls (damara thru meenah) sometimes called the dancestors?? were they ever called that in canon???

Yes they were called that in canon. It’s because they are actually the genetic descendants of the beta trolls as well as the beta trolls ancestors. Dancestors being a combination of Descendant and Ancestor.

hey is the Condesce that everybody is about to fight from B1 or B2 or A2

There’s only ever been one Condesce and she was from A2

Can I ask if it's fine to read homestuck only on my phone? Sometimes the animations don't load and if it seems important I switch to computer but using my comp is a hassle for certain reasons. I can usually piece things together anyway so... okay or?

It’s fine, I’m doing my current read through primaries from my phone. All of the flashes should be on youtube somewhere, although trying to find the right [s]==> can be difficult.

in act 5 (act 2), i think, john wind drilled the battlefeild to recieve The Tumor. first off, why? secondly, what was so impossible abt their session that the scratch had to be iniciated? thirdly, how does one flee the scratch? and lastly, what good would blowing up the (green?) sun do? so sorry for all of this! thank you!

He needed to tumor to “blow up” the Green Sun.
Bec Noir started The Reckoning insanely early giving the beta kids no where near enough time to beat the game.
You flee by going into the Furthest Ring or into a different dimension.
Doc Scratch told Rose that blowing up the Green Sun would take away Bec Noir’s first guardian powers.

Will there be alternate Cherubs like how there are alternate trolls and humans?

Yes, we’ve already met Alternate Calliope

if begin in a dreambubble don´t heal injuries, why does ghost tavros has his legs back? shouldn´t he have the robot torso eequius built?

Injuries heal if someone wants them to be. Meulin wanted to stay deaf, Terezi wanted to stay blind, Kirloz wanted to keep his mouth sewn shut, but Tavros wanted his legs back and so he got them.

When was the last time someone actually captchalouged something? It feels like the fetch modi stuff has been completely forgotten in the comic.

Fairly recently. Vriska captalogued post-scratch Earth in the special modus her and Terezi made.

i think the anon asking about alternate cherubs meant pre and post scratch alternates not doomed timeline alternates

If that was the case, then no. The Cherubs were born naturally so they cannot Scratch. So there can’t be any post-scratch cherubs

Wait I thought the A1 were cloned by karkat and the B2 were the product of that mixed?

No, Karkat cloned the Beta trolls and mixed them to make the Alpha trolls.

On page 005900, why was Aradia surprised that Sollux could see the green sun? Were his "Mage of Doom" powers coming through one of his eyes? He is both blind and dead here, so which eye was it? The Green sun didn't exist yet, because it was created in Cascade... right? Am I missing something?

Sollux was blind in one eye, Aradia might have thought he was blind in both. As for the Green Sun, it’s right in front of them, this interaction takes place as Cascade is happening. Shortly after this conversation Dave and Rose will rise out of the sun.

where are/were the quest beds located? i should probably know this but i forgot.

The player’s planets.

Can there only be one winner?

No, everyone that walks through the end game door is a winner

If the trolls never won how come they got to create a universe

They won, they just never got to claim their prize because Bec Noir showed up at the last second and slashed their door

Is The Handmaid even dead right now? I'm pretty sure she isn't because in the panel where The Handmaid got killed was just fastforwarded

No, the Handmaid is dead. Condesce wouldn’t be in servitude to Lord English if she were still alive.

Hi, I gotta ask; wasn't Alternia destroyed during the start of the Sgrub session? Or am I mixing it up with Sburb sessions?

It was pummeled by meteors, yes, just like B1 Earth

Which group should be considered the "Alpha trolls", the pre-scratch or post-scratch trolls?

Pre-scratch are the Alpha trolls. And before anybody tries to argue, this is stated in canon by Meenah and Calliope.

would it be possible for a group of cherubs to scratch their session and use ectobiology to make alternate cherubs?

No. The Cali twins are the only cherubs to play Sgrub. Aranea states that cherubs as a species where never supposed to play the game.

So its still posible we could see the handmaid in comic because all the weird time shitnanigans she did when she was serving lord English?

Probably not. The shit she did was to instigate Alternia into a violent planet. There’s no real need for that now.

could roxy theoretically conjure up quest beds using her god tier powers for the trolls to ascend on

Possibly but doing so would be lazy writing on Hussie’s part so it probably won’t happen

So if the alpha kids are clones of themselves, does that mean they have paradox origins? Like the name English does?

Yes

You say that would be lazy writing yet hussie once changed the lifespan of the salamanders so Casey could start an army

Casey’s extended lifespan could be due to her involvement in the dark arts

Sorry to bother you,but um if a character in honeysuckle was trans,do you believe they would be assigned a God tier more to their biological gender or the gender they state themselves as?Thanks!

I believe they would get a title fitting of their preferred identity.

Is it possible for someone's dream self to be alive but still asleep once they enter the medium?

Yes

I'm a little confused about the stop motion animations featuring the alpha kids and caliborn. Was that foreshadowing the future or part of a different timeline or???????? And also- has Cal had caliborn's soul in him since the beginning?

The claymation was of future events and Cal has always had the souls, this is explain in [S] MSPA Reader: Mental Breakdown

When did kanaya become God teir (or is that only a fandom thing?)

She has not ascended

Were Jane and Jade sleeping during the entire three years in the meteor?

No.

How exactly did the Psiioniic die again? And where is it mentioned?

He was killed by the Vast Glub

I don't see how it would be lazy writing if it becomes necessary and someone is capable of doing so. In that case you could argue that Roxy appearifying a new Matriorb is lazy writing too. Or Jade saving the planets from the Beta session. Or John retconning the timeline.

I’m no English major so this isn’t a perfect analysis but,

It would be lazy because there’s been no build up to it. Creating a new Matriorb has been a thing for years and Roxy was forced into the role of attempting to create it by the Condesce, and then chose to continue to try to make it of her own free will.  Jade saving the planets was also an established plot point before hand as Echidna’s request was for Jade to do so. John’s retcon was kind of lazy writing but due to Homestuck being a webcomic Hussie was able to pull that off in part to the nature of the story.  This of course is only my opinion and you are free to yours but I just don’t think it would be strong for the story if Roxy just up and made the trolls’ slabs.

How many trolls can become god their other than Aradia and vriska. (Unless jack killed the rest)

None of the currently alive trolls that haven’t ascended can ascend through any means that have been stated in canon.

Have we ever seen Gamzee without his make up on?

no

do you think it'd really be essential for the trolls to become godtier? personally, maybe it shouldnt be done for Karkat, in order to make him a more identifiable leader, but it would be cool if Terezi and Kanaya ascended.

Cool, yeah. Essential, no.

Why does the GHB have more letters in his name then the other trolls? Ex. Mindfang-8 Redglare-8 Psiionic-8 Signless-8

It’s unknown why he has more

People sometimes ask you about personal opinion, what do you think about Aranea? You think it is possible to redeem her?

Aranea definitely was a  Serket with all the standard Serket flaws and ideals. But I don’t think she’ll be redeemed. Heck, I’d be surprised if we even see her again.

is the "david elisabeth strider" thing canon in any way or where does it come from?

That’s not canon. It’s been in the fandom for years though and I’m not sure exactly how it got started, my best guess would be from a fancomic.

So how does it feel being one of the coolest blogs around? :D

 It feels pretty bangarangin’. This blog already had a decent following when I took over but since then the number of followers have over quadrupled. And just the fact that thirty-some thousand people followed this blog because of me and what I’m doing here just makes me feel super awesome. It’s also really weird thinking how popular this blog is, I never expected to amass this many followers, I just signed on because I didn’t want to see a good blog go under and it’s super surreal to think I’ve become somewhat of a BNF. 

Is it possible that someone can be god tier and no one would notice because they aren't wearing their robes?

Yeah

Do we know how Jake is connected to Lord English yet?

Yeah, Caliborn said he was going to steal his last name. Caliborn also wanted to groom Jake into a worthy adversary

If dam works under LE the could her and kurloz be friends

The girl who speaks in tongues and the boy who speaks in signs. Both appear only to be truly understood in their speech by one person, an ex-matesprite.  Both make other uneasy in their presence.  

I can totally see them hangin’ out.

mod t does the t ALSO stand for tea

No, I don’t like tea.

So... Did Gamzee have any prior practice with the box and arrow before shooting Equius square in the knee? Or is he just that badass?

His Jokerkind strife specibus allows him to proficient in any weapon.

Does T stand for T-Rex cause u the biggest and bestest one?

Nice guess, but no.

Have you heard of the theory called the Mituna Method? We know that Mituna burnt himself out doing something with his psionic powers, which aranea described as "some great act of heroism". The theory proposes that he launched A1's Prospit (or its moon) out of their session and on a path to eventually end up in the B2 session, where the surviving trolls could use the sacrificial slabs to ascend. That seems like it has the right amount of buildup, since Tuna's overexertion is yet unexplained.

I’ve heard of it but I don’t think it’ll become canon. That seems like a pretty big plot point for a character that Hussie never originally intended to introduce.

Have the Space and Time player in a Session to be God Tier to create a new universe?

No, neither Kanaya or Aradia was god tier when the trolls made the kids’ universe

the kids are 16 in canon but shouldnt they technically be 19 by now ?

In real time they’d be 19,but it’s still 2012 in story. 

What does "FAQ" mean?

Frequently Asked Questions

Jade was alive, on the ship, alone, as she said.

Jane was living on Earth until she started playing the game five months prior

I'm on mobile so i cant get to faqs. Could u put a link please?

1. There’s a link in the description

2. If that doesn’t work you could open a browser and go to forgttenhsfacts.tumblr.com/faq.

3. I don’t really see why this is so difficult for everyone but since I’m nice here you go

some people are using the mobile app which doesn't let you open any pages, like - for example - /faq.

Well I assume you have access to a browser such as Safari or Chrome where you can open it.
