Why did Jake have so many tinkerbulls (and lusii-like animals) om his island? Was it never explained?

The Condesce was breeding them there to use when she took over

Since Arquiussprite was included in Caliborn's masterpiece, which we can assume takes place on Earth/LOCAM, can we also assume that the rest of the sprites made it into Universe C? And that the sprites are long-lived enough to have stayed on Earth through the process of the sun becoming a red giant? Or am I missing a detail? Also thank you so much for this blog!

Well, we aren’t entirely sure, but  there’s three ways Arquius could have gotten there.

1: The sprites could have been allowed in the new Universe and he waited around a long time (remember the kids were surprised to see him so they din’t bring him)

2: Assuming that Lord Jack’s blackhole lead to Caliborn’s session he could have gone through there.

3: Based on what you think happened to the Furthest Ring after Calliope blackholed the Green Sun, he could have flown there.

following the homestuck juju portal theory, do you think that a new speicies could still arise and play a new version of sburb, because universe c seems to still be a part of hometuck itself sooo idk???

The Cali twins are from Universe C so yes

can you explain how eridan survived to join vriska's ghost army (in that canon meme thing with shrek you know)?

He just hasn’t realized he was dead yet

What happened to B1 Earth?

Last we saw it (in cascade) it was overrun with Red Miles, so it’s probably been destroyed

Is Caliborn's session the end of the line, since he doesn't create a new universe?

At least for that branch of paradox space

How long were the Alpha kids in the game?

Five Months

How did Jade correspond with Jake to make John's birthday present? They lived in different universes at the time.

The lotus pod, It transcends time and space

i always wondered was it just sollux who got his powers or do all mustard bloods get them?

It’s stated multiple times that he’s got a mutantion

If the aspect reversal tactic works to become Grimdark, surely Eridan went Grimdark, right? As Prince of hope, he was doomed to be devoid of it, but Eridan's wand was OP, meaning he became hopeful. Visual clues also looks like Grimdark Rose.

A Prince destroys Hope (which he did with the Matriorb) and also destroys with Hope (his hope powered wand). The “visual” clues are just color contrast.

Since the Alternian trolls were sent away to prevent a rebellion, how are the twelve trolls still on Alternia? I think I remember karkat looking out his hive and noticing there's no one around his area or something. I'm sorry i'm confused; thank you so much for this blog and that wonderful brain of yours.

Only the adult trolls were sent away. And when Karkat said there was no one around, he just meant that no one was outside at the moment

Until when do passwords become relevant? I've been writing them all down since Act 5ish / 6ish and I've jumped ahead and tried entering them?

Act 6 Act 6 Intermission 4

A lot of people Cosplay Dave as wearing a red Flannel shirt, did he ever wear Red and Black flannel in the comic or is it just something the whole fandom collaboratively made up?

Just a fandom trend

The Alpha kids didn't have a time or space player, wasn't their session doomed to fail?

Dave and Jade were their time and space players respectively

Do alive kids or trolls from doomed sessions also show up in dream bubbles? All of the ones seen have the dead eyes

Nope, if kids and trolls are still alive when the doomed session is erased then they go with it. That’s why we never see any Gamzees

how long did the troll's session last before they fought the black king?

612 hours, or 25 and a half days. And Karkat didn’t sleep for a minute of it, golly gee!

What's the deal with universe C? How did it come about and is it significant (besides the cherubs being bred there)?

It’s the universe that the kids created

ok. So I have been following you blog for a long time. Until I saw the thing about you thinking gamzee is a horrible person. I thought you of all people would see how it was blatantly shown that cal was controlling gamzee. I'm really disappointed. You, of all people. I'm not angry, I just hope you can figure it out and not just instinctively hate him. Until then, to protect myself, I'm unfollowing and blocking you. I'm sorry it turned out this way. Please look into his innocence. Goodbye.

I’m done arguing about Gamzee, the whole thing is just a bigger, deeper, Vriska trap.  Gamzee’s intentions were written to be debated, to be argued about, and I’m done. I’ve fallen for this trap too many times.

Read this

Since humans would be white or black if we had our blood drained from us, then does that mean that the kids are drawn like they don't have blood? Does this explain why people draw the trolls with tints of their blood color? HELP

People draw trolls with tints of their blood color because of blush

are grandpa harleys four DISTINGUISHED HOUSEGUESTS representative of anything? or just sort of a random assortment

They represent Grandpa Harley’s four types of BIG GAME TROPHIES, i.e. Animals, Knights, Mummies, and Cerulean Babes

Maybe pun-dyne meant the Beta kids, since they don´t have a space player nor a time player.

John, Rose, Dave, and Jade are the Beta kids

I can't believe people really unfollow and block you over differing opinions on a fictional character, what juvenile assholes

Hey man, that’s really uncalled for. They can do whatever they want, it’s not like they hurt anyone.

They were polite in their message, you’re the one name calling.

when was the first appearance of troll's bodily fluids being the same (or about the same) colors as their blood colors? sorry if this is worded badly

Their tears are tinted their blood color, seen many many times, especially with Karkat

Why do you keep stating your opinion or fanon beliefs as factual answers?

I don’t? Usually I’m pretty against fanon stuff or if I express it or my opinion I state it as such

Jade and Jake didn't send the bunny between themselves using Lotus pods; that only sends things into the future. They used a TRANSMATERIALIZER inside the Frog Temple to send it across either side of the Scratch (explained on 006073 and 006122, seen on 006926) 006503 shows the Skaianet lab also had one that Roxy used to return Jaspers (seen on 006512).

Ahhh, you’re right, my bad.

if peoples "spare" selves die when ascending to god tier, how come davesprite didnt die when dave became god tier

Davesprite ain’t a dreamself

According to Book 3, the 3 types of ECCENTRIC INTERESTS that Grandpa had are very unrandom. In addition to all being red herrings about what big puppet would be prototyped for Jade, they each loosely connect to one of the other Alphas, seen in the colour tint of the rooms they were kept in. Grandpa's own uncoloured room has animals bc guns. Orange room has knights bc Dirk's a skilled swordsman. Pink room has mummies bc LOPAN. Light blue room has blue beauties bc Jane is his long-lost blue lady.

That also aswell

what universe are the pre-srcratch trolls from? what happened to that universe?

They are from Universe A (A1 if you want to be technical), it was destroyed when Snowman died

Was jake british in cannon? If he wasn't why did people assume he was?

No. They assumed that because of all his old-timey sayings. And everybody knows that everybody in the old-timey days was British.


Also because his last name is English

Whats the white version of bec noirs name???

PM

Cont'd: think of it kind of like trading Pokemon up a game, if that simile works. You didn't have a strong Pokemon to beat up the Elite Four, but now you do, even if they were from a different cartridge. That was basically Jade and Dave for their respective aspects.

That’s not entirely right but it works well enough

Wasn't PM officially called Peregrine Mendicant when wearing the ring?

Nah, that was her name as an Exile. She didn’t get a specific name while wearing the ring, but the one she had when she put it on was  Prospitian Monarch

im looking forwards to re reading homestuck, but do you think it's worth it to wait till the epilogue is finished to start the jorney all over again?

Man, I’ll tell you guys what. If you want an unofficial epilogue to read before the actual epilogue comes out. You should check out Nightfall. It’s a post-Sburb set fanventure that’s been upd8ing for four years and has over 2000 pages.

How did the kids get to each other's planets? No point in the story in particular to cite, just wondering.

There are “gates” that act as portals between their planet and the other players

I feel so sorry for you Mod T theres so much discord

There’s not as much as there was in 2013, don’t worry

just a more personal question but,how old were you when you were first introduced to homestuck? just curious :D

I was 16

Nightfall kind of suffers from some aggressive shipping. Especially when it comes to John with Rose and Vriska.

Those are two ships I didn’t think anyone still shipped.

Where did the adults stay when they had to move off alternian? Do they/did they stay on ships or another planet? I always assumed they lived on a different planet that was nearby

I would assume both, ships and other planets as they expanded the empire

do you still take submissions??

Yeah, sometimes they get buried under asks tho so if we don’t post it that’s probably why.

wait when was it stated that karkat didnt sleep in their session

So I guess he slept hardly a wink, which is almost nothing

What happened to Caliborn at the end of act 7?

He got his rainbow cue-ball eyes and his immortality 

Wait which Dave was in Davesprite? Was it the one that prototyped Cal with the bird or smth? We going way back in time now

Yes, it’s that Dave

how did kanaya did the frog stuff is she's a sylph and not a witch ?

It’s the Space aspect that does the frog stuff

Did Karkat and Terezi ever kiss in canon? My friend said they did but I honestly don't remember.

They did not.

did the trolls' planets have consorts?

Yes, we never really saw them. We do see some statues of them on Terezi’s planet as well as Tavros’s and Vriska’s

Okay but did Eridan every say the word "Savvy" because if Hussie passed up the chance to shove four Vs in a row I would be very disappointed.

He did actually

Was it said that people have to go grimdark to invert their classpect? Or can any outside forces cause the inversion?

Nope, grimdarkness is not the only thing that can cause inversion. Jade and (Vriska) both act inverse without going grimdark

Do Bec and John share the same birthday?

Yes

why did jane get grounded?

She has been receiving death threats

i'm sure this was probably answered in the comic, but why did the frog -ificate?

So that Jade could use it to create the genesis tadpole
