April 2016

Was Jadekat ever a thing

Not in canon but it used to be a relativily popular ship

Forgive me for asking, but which vriska is (vriska)? I am slightly confused about it.

(Vriska) is the Vriska from the pre-retcon timeline, the one that Terezi killed

Which troll introduced everyone to the game?

Well Aradia found it and Sollux coded it, so them

Do the god tier outfits grow with whoever is wearing them? Cuz like the kids god tiered when they were like 14?15? and they're like 20 now. There's no way they'd still fit.

They’re magic pajamas so presumably they grow with the wearer and also never get dirty

Fags like you deserve to die really. YoUr fans are losers who crys about autistic snowflake like you. why do you even alive. Probably youre parents hate you retard fagwhore. Gonna find n kill you PC shiteater. Your kind deserve to be killed. Shithead

This is hilarious.  “why do you even alive” oh man, you’re killing me alright

Why does Vriska put down Jake so much? She says hope powers are stupid and weak and the strength they have is false, but shouldn't she know by now that hope is one of the strongest powers?

It’s because he’s a Page. Pages start out weak and take a long time to reach their potential.  Vriska tries to push them through it, she makes problems for them thinking that they’ll get stronger for overcoming them but really she just makes them sad.

Did the ancestors have names or did we just know them by title alone

They had the same names as their pre-scratch counterparts

i hated equius from the first time i saw him. he fuvking made a robot of some1 and fuc- kissed it. non-consensually. and i cannot find the constant sweating and boners to be charming traits

I wouldn’t expect you to understand. You need a high level of irony to appreciate this guy

that anon got caliborn's typing quirk wrong

Or did they get Calliope’s quirk right?

Well I assume it’s someone that’s politically correct and that eats shit, but I’m not really sure

i'm sorry if this has been answered before,, but is doc scratch a first guardian??

Yes

Do you know the ages of the beta kids? I thought they 16.

They are 16 in story, in real life they’d be 20

Is the Condesce an antagonist? Despite knowing all the messed up shit she's responsible I can't help but like her, she's so sassy and Meenah's hero worship of her is very cute. How much of her (and the Handmaid's) "evilness" is actually just because they have to follow LE's orders?

She’s an antagonist, but that doesn’t mean you can’t like her, after all, look at all the people that like Gamzee

If the kids manage to beat the villains, the Whats coming after that? Is hussie going to show up with a giant April fools sign???

Then they can beat the game, and create a new universe

No offense to DaveKat fans or Hussie, but I'm not eager for the ship to be canon. It seems to be rather forced because of the fact it is a result of retcon that we don't know the details of. I see no point the ship considering it lacks development and along with the fact that they were barely friend pre-retcon. It just seems like something that was made just because and so it is. I know people are excited but I'm not because I see no point in the ship.

Okay for unbiased, I don’t ship Davekat, never have.  But people have been shipping this thing for years. 

The two didn’t get along well pre-retcon because they both had a thing for Terezi. Davrezi happened and Karkat was mad jelly and even tried to convince Dave that they could share her (gross right?) and it just kept them at ends for a long time. Later on in their journey Dave and Terezi break up and we see that Dave and Karkat made some sort of friendship, or at least got close enough to be dorks and play with walkie-talkies.

Post-retcon, Vriska was around and Daverezi never happened. And since Dave and Terezi never dated, Dave and Karkat didn’t have that tention between them for years and their friendship was allowed to grow uninhibited. So while yes, we didn’t get a lot of the details, there is evidence that it could happen. It’s not out of character, and it’s not forced.

and karkat facts??

He doesn’t dual-wield sickles, we never see him do that once in the comic

can you just describe frogs in general in homestuck

Do we know where on the timeline Hussie guides Caliborn? very confused

It’s after LE already killed Hussie.It’s ghost Hussie doing all the guiding

What happened to lil cal after gamzee had him on the meteor?

See: Jack English/Union Jack/Lord Jack

I haven't read [A6A6I5] and beyond so I'm probably out of the loop, but who the hell is Union Jack?

B2 Jack, the one with the power of LE

A rough chart comparing Act lengths, not factoring in Intermissions or Subacts.  Act 6 has been a monster house in Homestuck, and it ends tomorrow, rip in peace

who is a better baker: pre-death nanna or jane?

Pre-death nanna was more experienced, but if you really want to talk, the Condesce has had centuries to hone her baking skills

out of curiosity, based on the Union Jack ask you just answered, is Union jack his canon name or just an interpretation? i'd always heard of him referred to as Jack English

There isn’t a definitive canon name for him. If there was I would just use that

can you just describe frogs in general in homestuck

forgottenhsfacts:

Holy shit, you’re right. I didn’t do that on purpose. I’m so good at memes I do it unconsciously now. But at least it works though since y’know, he is a frog

Any Damara facts? she doesent get enough love

When she talks to humans she speaks in broken english and is very polite which contrasts heavily with how she interacts with the other trolls

Okay, so apparently Homestuck’s updating at Midnight

not-terezi-pyrope:

Hussie’s time, that is EST. That’s the plan according to Paperseverywhere. That’s 110 minutes from now.

It’s past 3am here but I’ll be staying up. The Homestuck reddit are holding a livestream for the occasion. I’ll be watching that. If the update happens and the site doesn’t crash then I’ll record it myself for a video reaction I’m going to do, otherwise I’ll still record myself on camera, and then splice in the flash at a later date.

I’m letting you guys know so you can stay informed, be ready, and also maybe join in this livestream!

May I have a cute Dave fact please?

The dude’s got a foam Mr. T fetus in a jar

Act 6 definitely looks bigger than it is considering there were over two years worth of “pauses” during it.

why there arnt humans in the ghost army? is it beacuse they are fewer alternate humans? alfa kids dont make time travel so they only have the pre retcon ghost and beta kids have some for dave but their session was shorter

Yeah, there were hundreds of doomed timelines for the trolls while the kids only had about a dozen or so

im sorry but i lit cant remember at all how lil cal works or exsists or anythung? he was sent to daves timeline and dirks on the flying bosrd thing and then i get confused im so sorry thank u

Here’s a timeline

Does the doomed timeline theory make sense? Davesprite was in a doomed timeline yet he still had future stuff happen (Terezi found out about the kids later due to Dave)

When someone creates a doomed timeline it does exist for awhile. But eventually paradox space will erase it. And if a person hasn’t died before the timeline is erased they won’t show up as a ghost in the furthest ring, this is why Meenah killed her team when they scratched and why there are no Gamzee ghosts, because he was always alive when the timeline was erased.

But wait, if ARquius is part of LE, wouldn't that mean Doomed Caliborn is LE, instead of Alpha Caliborn? Since ARquius doesn't exist canonically anymore.

Arquius got made both pre and post retcon, wadda ya talkin about?

Why is everyone saying Homestuck ends tomorrow? It doesn't end until the 13th.

Act 6 ends tomorrow and that might as well be homestuck it’s been going on for so long

Do you think that any of the "deceased" in this update will be proven otherwise in the next?

Well Jane and Dirk need to be alive for the Caliborn thing shouldn’t stay dead

how did post-retcon vriska get to the dream bubble

She flew there

So uh, this wasn't clear to me, why did Spades drop the Felt on Jake?

Because his last name is English

Just wondering on this update, do you know or have theory on how dave and terezi revived dirk the first time he died? I'm pretty sure that jane was not present during that bit to revive hime

Okay so basically, Dave and Terezi combo move, Terezi found a series of events in which Dirk didn’t get pumped full of lead and Dave time traveled that Dirk in.

Is serenity's name a refrence to Joss Whedon's Firefly?

Yep

why was there two japes fighting the felt?

forgottenhsfacts:

I think he Hoped him into existence. 

Actually it was due to Time shenanigans on the side of The Felt

Was that video just the end of act 6? Or was it also what was going to be in act 7?

Just end of Act 6

Isn't the Roxy from tonights upd8 the same Roxy from the Game Over timeline? If so, what happened to the current timeline's Roxy (not the one that came over from the preretcon timeline)?

She got killed by Heiress Jane

So is Dirk like dead-dead? If he is, is there any way for him to come back to life??

Jane hasn’t revived him yet

With HS wrapping up in about a week from now (Im dying thinking about it) will there still be people who like it? Will it all stay posted up or do you think it'll just die out?

It’ll be around for awhile. A story this colossus doesn’t die out.

What is a fraymotif anyway?

They’re essentially combo moves

[S] Collide officially confirmed that Pre-retcon Sollux and Aradia are still alive so that means we have 2 alive Aradias and Solluxes (solluxii? solluxs?) 

Slightly unrelated to Collide: Was it ever explained how the Condensce got to Earth? Like, yeah she flew in her ship but the trolls were in an entirely different universe than the humans, and I'm pretty sure the Incipisphere is in an entirely different dimension, so how is she just showing up in all these places when everyone else has some kind of portal (normally the initial warp into P-Space or a Skaia portal) to explain how they got there?

Really if you can navigate the Furthest Ring you can get anywhere.

Why did the update leave me feeling empty and unsatisfied?

Probably because it wasn’t as badass and epic as you were expecting. It was a lot funnier than I thought it was going to be.

Why was Gamzee crying?

You’d be crying too if you got thrown around a bunch while you were trapped in a box.

This might be a little long, but there's something confusing me after having just read your Lil' Cal timeline. Lil' Cal is "full" (with souls) when he is with John in the ectobiology lab. This means that exact version of Lil' Cal is both sent back with Bro /and/ sent back with Dirk and grows up with both of them (pre/post-scratch). So why is Bro's Full and Dirk's Empty? Shouldn't they both be Full?

Two copies of a juju can’t exist at the same time. So one retained its juju properties and the other lost them.

How was the Condesce related to Alpha!John and Alpha!Jade? As in, how did Jane become the heir to the Crocker empire? btw you're doing a really good job answering questions as homestuck ending date is nearing!!! i bet you're getting a flood of asks and even with stuff I thought I knew I'm glad I have reminders on my dash.

Condesce adopted Poppop and Grandma English, just like she did pre-scratch with Nanna and Grandpa Harley.
