April 2016

What do you mean they're on earth. They won the game. The universe made can town a reality.

Nope, they made Can Town real, on Earth. That’s why it zoomed in on the Earth Jade was holding when it showed that

What happened to Diamonds Droog - didn't he get universe-destroying power and then just disappear?

Condesce gave him the ring and then asked for it back and that was pretty much the last time we saw that dude 

Now that Homestuck has ended, how many pages does Homestuck have?

8128

so im pretty sure i got a good grip on everything, the timelines make sense, the loose ends are tied up in one weird wya or another, except the one frog, you know the one that appeared at jades house then died, the fuck was up with that

I know the one, it’s our banner

Just asking for clarifications sake but since the kids go fight in the future, that means the alpha kids all die bc in Caliborn's masterpiece he defeats them right c: ?

No actually, Caliborn defeats them but then Jake get up and gives him a big ol’ blast of his hot white spunk and knocks him down, where Caliborn stays for several minutes admiring the “PANSIED ASS, PRETTY LEGGED PAGE”. Then Arquius shows up and “PINS [Caliborn] IN PLACE WITH HIS RIPPED MUSCLES, AND [he’s] COMPLETELY IMMOBILIZED” But then the  “BATTERED PRETTYBOY NINJA STUD” goes and uses “HIS FLAMBOYANT PINK SPELL” to take Caliborn’s essence and stuff it into his  “ SOFT HAPPY PAL”

From what I understood, that wasn't Earth. It was more of a mashup of the different planets, with parts from Earth, the asteroid the troll's party arrived in on, and I believe the deserted planet Mayor first appeared on.

The asteroid the troll came on landed went through a Skaian Defense Portal and landed on Earth. And surprise, surprise, that deserted planet we first met our dear Mr. Mayor, was in fact future pre-scatch Earth

How are you taking the ending? Are you angry and dissatisfied? Are you hoping that the epilogue will clear things up? Are you happy with the open-ended nature of everything? If you don't like the ending, what does that mean moving forward?

I choose D, happy with the open-ended nature of everything

mod t are u fluent in japanese or

I know a bit, I’m not close to fluent

Does the "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell" Ancestor video count as a forgotten homestuck meme?

I think Quest of the Lowblood is more forgotten than Quest of the Highblood

did hussiequest actually happen or was it a nightmare

I was actually just watching that. It’s what reminded me of Olive Garden

I thought the Chess People in Act 7 were the same ones who lived near Roxy's house.

I assumed that as well

how old are all the humans and trolls now?

16 human years

So the new world the kids created was Earth, but was version of Earth like... a whole new one or did they just revive their old one (since you see an astroid at one point in Act 7)

They revived the old one

how did the trolls first get to meet each other? did they travel through the gates?

Yes

Is there a reason, like symbolically or otherwise, that Hussie chose to have universes be contained in frogs?

In Egypt we see the Frog-headed Heket who is an Egyptian goddess of birth(ing).

As a Celtic symbol meaning, the Frog was deemed lord over all the earth, and the Celts believed it represented curative or healing powers because of its connection with water and cleansing rains.

More Western and European views focus on the Frog’s three stages of development (egg, tadpole, fully formed amphibian) to symbolize resurrectionand spiritual evolution. For these same reasons it is also a common Christian symbol for the holy trinity and resurrection. It is often seen in Christian art to express this symbolism.

In China the Frog is an emblem of Yin energy and thought of as good luck. Feng Shui practices recommend putting an image of a Frog in the east window of your home to encourage child birth and/or happy family life.

Ancient Hindus viewed the animal symbolism of frogs on a more cosmic levels, as they believe Frogs projected the world into orbit in space, and the frog was also thought to signify darkness.

how much crying?

Some, some crying

Hey I'm on Act 5-6 and something I'm confused about is, sometimes there's two links on the page, so when I click on the second one, it would lead me to a page where you would need a password to get past. One day I guessed one of the codes, (JUST1C3 I think) and it lead me to a bunch of extra(?) pages which were waay advanced to where I was. (One of them had God Tier Jade in them) so I'm wondering why they're there and what is the point of them? Why do you need a password? I'm sorry I'm confused

You’ll learn about that later, just ignore them for now :3

Just wondering, how much of the hussie stuff was actually plot relevant, or just a joke?

Hussie guided Caliboner through his adventure, added additional exposition, and was the source (at least from our perspective) of the Ring of Life,  so I’d say he was plot relevant.

Why did John hug Jane's dad?

BEcause John’s dad looked ythe same adn jane’s dad’s dad was john but old and from a differnt earth so dad meets dad dad and hug happens

I still don't understand why the genesis frog was in the volcano?

Jade dropped it in there

but if caliborn had the time to make his masterpiece after the kids fought him, then maybe what's behind the door wasn't perma deleted? maybe it's just cut off from where the new universe is..

Caliborn made the masterpiece before he fought the kids

Does anyone know why this page [mspaintadventures(dot com)/?s=3] exists? I thought for sure it would have something to do with the finale, but as far as I can tell, it serves no purpose.

Here’s an explanation of the Blood Spade

Im a little fuzzy, I keep seeing people talk about a plothole with Dad eggberts wallet and the retcon but what exactly is the plothole?

There isn’t one. That was explained in canon how they made the super Vriska wallet modus dude

4064 is the mathmatical middle of Homestuck without any sort of epilogue. In case anyone wants to take the time to find out what exactly is on that page in order to figure out the turn. I would myself, but I'm not sure how to find exact pages.

Rip in peace

About how old is Calliope in human years?

Unknown, all we know is that she is 11 “units” old

So in act 7, when the kids were back in their original clothes, did they just change, or did time revert them back to 13 year olds?

They changed

I've been wondering; Do you think there are any characters in Homestuck who, regardless of interesting arcs or sad/funny moments, were ultimately irrelevant to the plot as a whole? Especially with the whole retcon, and the whopping 10,000+ pages, I can't help but wonder if there was anyone who ended up having exactly 0 impact on the story.

Most of the Beforan trolls were irrelevant to the plot.

Whats 147 divided by 5?

2.2 groups of trolls

Did Jade and karkat ever make up? Like all I can remember is them fighting over passwords so was there ever a point after that where they stopped hating on each other? >:?

I mean, they’re both seen sitting  with Dave in the finale so I assume they’re on good terms.

Did the troll egg thing get used? How come we don't see any new trolls or humans?

The egg hatches into a Mother Grub which needs to be raised to maturity before it can start pumping out baby trolls

Extra .2 dozen trolls confirmed.

That’s the canon fan trolls

If the past universes (A 1&2 and B 1&2) have been destroyed now, and the Mother Grub that will be raised to maturity needs genetic material to begin pumping out new Trolls- will all Universe C Trolls be descendants of the Beta Trolls that made it to Universe C (through ectobiology or otherwise)?

Well presumably, they’d be able to concoct some other color troll dna out of all the blood from the other trolls that’s presumably still tucked away somewhere in the meteor

.2*12=2.4 ---- 2.4 trolls-2 fan trolls= 40% of an extra troll confirmed.

That’s Callie Ohpeee

The middle of Homestuck is the 4064th page, not page 004064. So it's page 5964, with the Condesce and the Helmsman, assuming anon's math is right.

what happened to fefetasprite in the canon universe. did she still fefetasplode?

She never existed post-retcon, so the fate we saw pre-retcon is the fate she continues to hold

Dad cherub?

Calliope and Caliborn’s father

If dad Crocker looks like John's dad and John is the young version of dad's dad. What dad is flying the dad plane?

Dad Cherub

Hey um could you tell me why the ending ended like that? thanks i just dont get it

Because that’s the ending Hussie has wanted since before the beginning.

I'm sorry, can you explain how Dad Cherub relates to reproduction?? I don't understand what that means or how he is relevant.

Dad Cherub is Calliope and Caliborn’s father. He lost the fight with their mother and so was the one that laid the egg that the twins would hatch from.

So if everybody created the frogverse at the end... What was the frogverse that KARKAT was talking about in act 5? (At least I think it was act 5)

That was the frogverse the kids lived in

so when exactly did hussie take complete control of the commands in HS? was there a specific page?

It was around Act 4, I’m not sure if there is a specific page number

How did Vriska's eye and arm become repaired? By becoming god tier?

Yes

Was it ever revealed how LE got the ring he was wearing in Caliborn's masterpiece?

Nope

Right before roxy makes the matriorb, are all those signs surrounding the silhouette of alternia canon jade blood signs?

Yes, I think those troll’ll be appearing in Hiveswap

im just curious, do you believe the theory about the house juju being a portal to homestuck itself? if not do you have a theory you believe?

(for those of you that don’t know it) 

I think it makes sense, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what it did, it wouldn’t be the first time Homestuck messed with it’s own meta.

what was the present from jade that john received

Liv Tyler

which one is more recent, rose going grimdark or bros death

Rose going grimdark.
