how about....a sadstuck fact?
You know in Cascade when Rose and Dave went to blow up the Green Sun?
Well they didn’t know their Sacrificial Slabs were there, they thought it was a suicide mission.
They were prepared to die for their friends
Originally, before the dreambubbles arrangement, what happened when God Tiers went to sleep? They just, like... slept? That seems wierd and preposterous, it can't be, it would be like picking up stuff directly with your hands or something.
They’d poof a dream phantom into the Furthest Ring presumably. I don’t think that mechanic would change. But we aren’t sure.
Why did John and Jade never show up in the dreambubbles when they slept in the three year journey?
They did. They just never ran into anyone on the Meteor Crew, except for one time, but John got stabbed by Meenah before he could see or talk to them
I remember hearing at some point that all of the ancestors were dead except for the Condesce, but when did the Psiionic die?
He died from the Vast Glub
Have we ever seen or been told what Echidna looks like? Every time someone talks about her I picture an actual echidna or knuckles.
We see her on the track art for Bargaining with the Beast. It matches the silhouette of an Echidna statue on LoFaF so it’s probably the closest we’re gonna get.
How long was the beta trolls session?
612 hours, or just over 3 weeks
Wouldn't the deam phantom be on the battlefield?
No, John’s dreamself was on the battlefield after Prospit’s moon fell
I feel like an idiot asking this, but i don't fully understand the vast glub u-u can you explain?
It’s a psychic attack from Fef’s lusus Glubglub that kills all trolls that aren’t Fuchsia blood
How long in Canon was homestuck. Like was it three years and a few months or was it less
In-story it was three years exactly. 4/13/2009-4/13/2012
I don't remember the kid's session length, but did the amount have any significance like the time for the Trolls' session?
It was approximately 24 hours, maybe a few more. It was about 20 hours between the point that Bec Noir fought Rose and when Terezi killed Vriska so it couldn’t have been much longer than that.
what the heck is sadstuck
Strider manpain
forgotten Caliborn fact?
he’s canonically neurodivergent although it’s not specified what exactly he is or has.
if they don't have a dreamself anymore, what happens when they sleep?
Sleep phantom in the furthest ring
Wait. When the alpha kids were introed, wasn't it like Fall of 2012?
it was 11/11/11
Why doesnt tavros have wings like rufioh and the summoner I feel like it was stated but I can't remember also I love this blog
He just doesn’t have that mutation
Could it be possible that aspects lean towards certain genders like classes? Like, we've never seen a female breath player or a male life player. Or is this just a coincidence?
Possibly, it’s never been discussed in canon but out subject pool is too shallow to say for sure
so is gamzee evil or what? like when sober he gets influenced by lil' cal, but if he wasnt influenced by lil cal, would he still be evil/violent while sober?
This depends entirely on who you ask and how they interpreted the story.
if the alpha trolls are the pre-scratch versions of the beta troll's ancestors, then shouldn't the beta trolls have pre-scratch versions that are the alpha troll's ancestors?
Yes
If homestuck ended on 4/13 what age did John canonically turn on that day?
16
How did Karkat come back to life after all the shit that happened in S Game Over?
He didn’t. John changed it so that the events of GAME OVER wouldn’t happen
do we know what determines if you have 2 dreamselves or just one?
It meta-wise can be contributed to the Captors’ duality theme
In-story-wise I like to attribute it to the fact that Sollux was the one that programmed the game so he gave himself a bonus. But that’s just speculation
Why did Mindfang kill Redglare? Weren't they both on the same side? Or am I missing something?
Redglare was tasked with arresting and prosecuting Mindfang, they were not on the same side of the law.
wait how did nana know anything about the beta kids' god tiers? was it because she was a sprite or what?
Yeah, it was because she was a sprite
are all the trolls the same age? 6 sweeps at the start?
Yes
Why couldn't Vriska just flip her sprite to get her vision 8-fold back?
Because Hussie already made that joke. And also if she did that she’d loose her vision 1-fold.
could you fake the genetic material in buckets? like last minute "oh crap" and fill the pail with faygo or something would the drone be able to tell
I feel like the droids would catch on to that pretty quick
Are there always going to be exiles in a session?
Only in sessions that have a Reckoning. The Alpha kids, and Caliborn: No Reckoning, No exiles.
Why do i hear people say "i pity you" as a term of endearment where did it originate what does it mean?
I have no idea my dude, never heard anyone use it like that.
@the "I pity you" Anon, I think it started because when Karkat was explaining how troll romance works, he said that any positive affections were mostly based off of pity. I guess people took it and ran with it?
CG: PITY IS OF COURSE JUST THE TONED DOWN VERSION OF THE CENTRAL EMOTION, HATE.
CG: AND ALL THE NUANCES OF PITY MANIFEST AS VARIOUS OTHER KINDS OF FEELINGS LIKE WHATEVER CHEMICAL REACTIONS TRIGGER MATING FONDESS OR THE MYSTERIOUS FORCES THAT ARE BEHIND MOIRALLEGIANCE.
Can you defeat an imperial drone? like fight it off so you dont die?
I mean, I guess, but then you’d probably be a fugitive and end up being persecuted by a legislacerator which would also end with you dying so there’s really no winning
May I ask about the shrek and eridan meme, because I somehow missed that completely but it sounds incredible
Well it’s a very old meme, from even before my time in the fandom, here’s a explaination post
What? :o Ive read the whole story thinking they were 16 earh years (different anon) so 13 year old kanaya sliced 13 year old eridan and a 13 year old vriska pushed a 13 year old tavros off a cliff and all that stuff????? Gosh
Yep. They’re 16 at the end of the story though.
What happened to Gcatavrosprite?
They sleepin’ shhhhhhhhhh
yo, can you please explain Vriska's jacket? I know it's some sort of timeloop stuff like the Crosbytop but I can NOT remember how it happened.
It’s really not. She has a pirate coat and then she puts it on the ground and Kurloz takes it. That’s the whole story.
Why does Gamzee's chronology make no sense?
It makes perfect sense. He goes through the timeline normally then he either gets dumped in Earth’s ocean and waits millennial or is sucked into the Black Hole that Lord Jack’s head imploded into. Either way he ends up way in the future on Earth where he sets up the Cali twins’ living quarters. Then he enters with Caliborn and just chills with him.
Pre-retcon Gamzee did jump forward in timeline to create the Alpha kids’ sprites and enjoy some Trickster revelry though.
How did Gamzee get the War hammer of Zillyhoo?
Unknown
Forgotten fact about rose or sollux?
Rose blew up Eridan’s computer when he tried to flirt with her
I found a typo on page John: Equip fake arms. Copacetic is spelled "copasetic."
It’s just a rare alternate spelling my dude
Is it possible to be someone's moirail and matesprit at the same time?
Not the same person, no. You can have a moirail and a matesprite at the same time but they have to be with different people.
uh does the white/black blooded troll exist?
No
About the whole Matesprite/Moirail being the same person, wasn't Diciple Signless' Matesprite/Moirail/Kismisis/Auspacuce all rolled into one? I'm not sure if I read this somewhere, is something. I don't know.
The Signless and the Disciple weren’t in a quadrant. Their love transcended the quadrants.
how do i even get started in homestuck
Push through Act 1. It’s really tough to get through the first read through but it’ll pick up p. quick after that
idk if this matters in any way but i saw someone else ask about a typo and it reminded me -on this page: / scratch. php ?s=6&p= 005837 dave says 'TG: it like the tight end was going long down the yard in sudden death'. im assuming this is just a standard typo and nothing to read into but if that is the case im wondering whether hussie is known to have made many typos or ever corrects them if so?
On the other hand, this is Dave Strider, the dude that authored Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff, the bro that wrote “ahlly yoop for the SLAM-DUNK”
hey sorry if im silly but didnt rose give john her strife specibus needlekind to initiate the scratch? hence why she was unarmed when travelling to 'blow up the green sun', and thats why dave had to kill DD. does she get it back at any point, or does she transcend needing it upon god tiering, or.. am i just mistaken?
She didn’t exactly give it to John, John kinda took it off her corpse. But she probably got high enough level that she didn’t need a specibus to use a weapon.
On that note, you can be someone's matesprit and kismesis at "the same time" by flipping between the two. I doubt having both like that would appeal to the bucket drones though.
Technically, you’re not the persons matesprit and kismesis at the same time. Quadrant Vacillation is constantly switching between the two, not being both at once.
I know people celebrate 4/13 as like the official homestuck day, right? Do people also celebrate 6/12 and 10/25 or are those days unimportant?
People do celebrate them, just not as many and in smaller ways
I know 6/12 is Karkat's birthday, but what's 10/25?
[S] Cascade. It’s also 413+612
why did hussie delete all his accounts?
My best guess would be it was overwhelming. Or he wanted his privacy, I know he used to not like having pictures of him circulating the fandom. But I dunno
why did jade know all that stuff in the beginning? like that johns package was in his car and all the stuff about sburb? i know she could wake up as her dream self for a while but i dont see how she would be able to gather the kind of information she knew from just being able to fly around prospit
The Clouds of Skaia show glimpses of the future. They are visible from Prospit’s moon on occasion.
So John, Jade and Davesprite were on the Prospit ship for 3 years, right? But John started the game 13 yrs old and ended 16 yrs old. What's going on, time shenanigans?
John was 13 when he started, and then spent 3 years travelling so that, 14, 15, 16. And then the story ended.
