I'm still confused about God Teir. So once you become God Teir you have all these awesome powers but aren't you immortal too? If so, then why does Jane (which I understand she does have healing powers) have to revive Dirk when he got his head cut off by Dave?

They have Conditional Immortality. They can die, but only if their death qualifies as Heroic or Just

hi, i'd like to know how dreamselves act when they haven't woken up yet please! do they just float around unconsciously?

Usually they just sleep. Roxy is an unusual case. However, sometimes they can be awake without realizing it like Dave who just hung out in his drem room makin beats.

hey! why did Gamzee go crazy? like, why did he started killing everyone and stuff????

Debatable but most likely Combination he ran out of sopor slime pies, he stared into the eyes of Lil Cal following his angry departure at Dave mocking his religion. 

whats that frog thing and why its necessary to create a new universe??

The frog is the universe

i might have asked this before but i cant remember the jobs of all of the guardians. what where they?

Dad was a businessman
Mom was a scientist
Bro was a puppeteer/entertainer
Grandpa was an adventurer/business owner, he inherited riches
Nanna ran a joke shop
Poppop was a comdeian
Roxy’s Mom was a writer
Dirk’s bro was a film producer
Grandma ran a company that made LE inspired goods until Condy ran her out of business
Bec was doge

[Re: Why did Gamzee go on a killing spree.] It was later in the comic that we didn't find out why until a lot of the comic that Dirk had been 'influenced' by Lil Cal through Caliborn. Gamzee had the same exposure to Lil Cal as Dirk but not the willpower to resist Caliborn's influence.

Dirk’s Cal was empty so he couldn’t have been influenced by it.  Bro possibly was tho, and he was p. awful.

how was it possible for game over!gamzee and retcon vriska to go to the alpha kids' session and prototype their sprites before everyone else?

time travel, they both had Aradia’s temporal music boxes

How did Gamzee get Aradia's time travel devices?

She probably left them in a chest on the meteor. All the trolls were just throwing their shit in them left and right when they first arrived

why did dirk and jake break up?

Do space players have specific planet quests or does the frog breeding count?

Frog breeding counts, but there’s another more specific task they must do in order to finish that.  For Jade it was promise to bring the planets into the new session, we don’t know what Kanaya’s was but she said it was impossible to do. But Jade’s task seemed impossible when she excepted it so maybe that’s a prerequisite.

So Alpha Jade took the name English to spite the Condesce, and Caliborn took the name English out of respect for Jake English. Is that wrong?

Nope, That’s right, those are the reasons.

So how were the felt after Jack killed them and sn0wman? Were they just from a different timeline? Shouldn't they have died anyway since sn0wman was killed?

Yeah the Felt were pulled in from other timelines when Spades took out their pins from Die’s doll. 

How many brains did you fry when you read the first Intermission for the first time? Even my migraine has a migraine right now!!!

The first time I read the Intermission, I just tried to get through it as fast as possible so I could get back to those quirky kids. I didn’t really appreciate it until the third time I read it.  

The intermission is good kids don’t skip it, if it’s confusing come back and read it once you’ve finished Homestuck and it’ll be a lot more appealing. 

What are the powers of Quarters?

Quarters possesses a collection of quarters bearing the images of pool balls. If a coin is tossed, the Feltmember corresponding with the side that faces up will be summoned from some place in space and time. If the member on the other side is present, the two will switch places and times. If a member tosses their own coin and gets his own number, they will die.

Why did caliborn respect Jake? He's kind of a crybaby

Because, and I quote “ [He] deals me my first defeat ever, since ascending as an invincible technicolor kid

False

My Dudes! A brand spankin new video fresh from the Official Youtube page about Homestuck 2.0

What an anon said about Gamzee (to some extend) being Lord English/Caliborn kinda confuses me. I remember the kinds writing up parts of the genetic code used to create the first guardians, but while the Troll code did create Doc Scratch, that wouldn't mean he is LE (to whatever extend), because the reason why Doc spawned LE is because he also was made of Lil Cal who had Caliborn already sealed in him, or am I missing something?

Gamzee was also sealed in Lil Cal

Okay, so the Post-Scratch Trolls' Jack Noir became Spades Slick, the Pre-Scratch Kids' Jack Noir became Bec Noir, and the Beta Kids' Jack Noir became Union Jack/Jack English. What happened to the Pre-Scratch Trolls' Jack Noir and Calliope/Caliborn's Jack Noir?

We don’t know about the pre-scratch trolls’ Jack, he probably died when the Scratch happened.  And Caliborn killed his Jack

i'm trying to figure out why and when the vast glub happened. if gl'bgolyb glubbed because feferi left for the medium, then how did fef prototype her? if gl'bgolyb glubbed before feferi prototyped her and went to the medium, then why did gl'bgolyb glub?

It’s not confirmed how glubglub died, but it’s implied that she got hit with a meteor, released the Vast Glub, died, was prototyped, and then entered with Fef

what was serenity's timeline?

Be in some amber-> Get freed from amber-> Chill with WV for about a year years-> Jump up on the sleepwalking Roxy’s head and go for a ride-> Enter the game with the Alpha kids-> Descend on down in the Act 6 finale. 

This might be different considering the Retcon. And yes I know they were on the meteor for 3 years, but they were only at the 1 year mark when they ran into Roxy and BG!Dirk

Hey so this might be a stupid question but what is post scratch pre scratch, scratch in general??

Pre-scratch is the timeline from before the Players’ initiated the Scratch (John and Meenah’s groups)

Post-scratch is the timeline from after they initiated the Scratch (Karkat and Roxy’s groups)

The Scratch is a game construct that rearranges where the Skaian Defense Portals go during the Reckoning, thus altering the timeline.

Hi! Um not sure if this has been mentioned in the comic or here or not, if it has, I'm very sorry. But was it ever explained why ) (IC had the abilities of a psionic? With the red and blue eye lasers? I wondered after watching collide. Thank you!

That’s explained in the faq

what is your opinion on the recent homestuck update and the ending of it?

Yo

I think that person meant the upd8 on the official homestuck youtube channel homestuck 2.0, what did you think of it BTW? please the people want to know

Well in that case, I think it sounds really neat. Homestuck has always been about fan interaction. And I would love to get involved with it eventually, maybe by making a video centered around Sburb mechanics or explaining  story altering events like the Scratch or the Retcon more in-depth.

hiya! sorry if i'm being a bother, but i just wanted to know how exactly multiple sessions end up linked together. i'm trying to write a fan adventure with all of the heroes being split across a lot of different sessions, so i'd just like to know the possible ways to either link or have them visit these other sessions. (if you answer this, thank you for your time! you guys are great! :3)

 There are 3 ways to get between sessions. There are various teleporters you can use like Bec Noir did to get from the Kids’ session to Earth and then to the Trolls’ session.  You can go through the Fourth Wall like Jade and John did. Or you can fly through the Furthest Ring, which is the area in the Incipisphere between Mediums. This is very difficult to do however since Time and Space don’t function the same way in the Furthest Ring and the only reason the Meteor Crew was able to do so was because they had a seasoned Seer of Light to chart their course. 

How the hell did dad egbert get from the derse prison to lowas? But i know he got from lowas to skaia with the help of grandpa harley.

It’s not specified but we can assume he hitched a ride on a Derse ship since we see other Derse agents on Lowas.

Can a troll have a kismesis and a matesprite at the same time or is considered cheating? I didn't understand that part of the quadrant talk.

Having a matesprite and a kismessis at the same time is perfectly fine, in fact it’s expected, actually it’s required for adult trolls from Alternia and punishable by death if you don’t have either. 

It’s not cheating unless you’ve got two matesprites or two moirails or stuff like that, ya dig?

Don't adult trolls not live on Alternia (because they're required to help in conquering other planets or something) and only older teenage trolls have to reproduce?

Adult trolls do not live on Alternia, they’re out there amongst the stars expanding the empire. 

But no, it’s the adult trolls that fill the pails

Does god-tiering only heal injuries? Or for exaple; if someone was Trasgender and they become god-tier, do they then "get" their body they're comfortable in? Or does it have to be your dreamself who god-tiers? (because the dreamself version of the trangendered person I mentoined, would have their wished body)

That is up for debate,but I would like to believe you’d get the body you want

Can a sprite kiss a corpse alive again? Like the Kids (and trolls) do with eachother

My first instinct is no, but I don’t recall it ever being addressed or attempted in comic, so believe what you like

Whats the deal with Snowman? Like, why shouldn't you kill her?

Her life is linked to the A universe

Don't you become your dreamself when God tiering? (Jade). I'd imagine going GT would stay trans unless maybe you have to use a sacrificial slab, in which case if you're physically transitioned I don't see why that'd change.

You can go god tier with your non-dreamself (Jake)

I see this in a lot of fanfics, but is it ever canonically stated that Jake runs around his island naked at any point in time?

I can’t find any canon evidence of this

Jake used a slab. I'm talking about natural quest bed god tier.

“natural quest bed god tier” like dying on a slab is any less natural

As of Tyrion IV of ADWD, where is Jorah Mormont?

Why does Caliborn hate the colors green and orange together?

uu: ORANGE AND EMERALD. uNPLEASANT TOGETHER.
uu: I HAVE NO TASTE FOR PuMPKINS. OR ANY HORRID VEGETABLE MATTER.
uu: MEAT OR CANDY. THAT’S WHAT’S GOOD. THE GAME IS OVER.

Did the glitch Dirk was stuck in in [S] Game Over have to to with the fact that the timeline was doomed and dying? If not, what was it there for/from?

The “glitches” as special stardust that Caliborn dumped in the Act 6 cartridge 

so since none of the alpha kids have a time or space aspect, had jade and dave not lived through the scratch the alpha kids wouldve been immediately doomed right? well werent, technically, by the games standards, all the beta kids expected to die? had jade not pulled her 4th wall stunt they would have, so the scratched session would have failed? why would the game create a scratch it knew would fail if the kids didnt cheat the system?

Because it knew the kids would cheat the system.

If Karkat's a mutant would his lusus still share his blood color?

Crabdad should also have candy red blood because he was bred especially for Karkat

Was it ever explained how a very alive Grandpa Harley showed up in John's land in the beta kid's session with the colonial sassacre tome?

Not directly but it is explained through (ironically) things that Jake does. Here’s an explanation.

Wait, Caliborn's hatred for green/orange. Would it be in any way related, if just foreshadowing, the actual fight Davepetasprite^2 puts up with Lord English in [S] Collide?

C’est possible 

if karkat wasnt a mutant he would have grey blood.

Grey blood would still be a mutant. Non-mutant Karkat would most likely have been a lime blood, the color between Sollux and Nepeta’s corresponding to Cancer’s place between the characters’ respective symbols in the horoscope.

What is a "Just" death?

To quote the good Scratch doctor: “… one may be subject to corruption, and slain by a hero. This would be just.”

How is Aradia able to stick around as a ghost (and join a kernelsprite!) before Fef makes the Dream Bubbles (or enters the medium at all)?

One could argue it was related to her psychic abilities to hear the voices of the dead, or one could argue plot convenience, she stayed around because she needed to for the story.  

you know that big grey room with the computers that the trolls are in ? is that on the meteor or was it somewhere before that and how did they get there

That is on the Meteor and Aradiabot threw them all aboard the Meteor when Bec Noir attacked

If Rufioh god-tiered, would he keep his wings for would he get an additional two?

He’d keep his current wings

Where does the universe frog go after its made?

It stays right where it was created

Do the beta trolls know that the alpha trolls are versions of HIC, Dualscar, The Disciple, Redglare etc. or do they just think they're trolls who played the game as well??

They know, they talk about it quite a bit in the openbound flashes. Meenah and Aranea also reference their post-scratch counterparts frequently

When in the overall timeline of Homestuck did the kids go fight Caliborn (resulting in the trapping of the Beta kids in the house juju)? Which versions of the kids were those (like which timeline were they from)?

Which pre-scratch trolls god tiered?

All of them in one timeline or another. Just Aranea and Meenah from their alpha timeline that we know about
