Is it necessary to fight a denizen to get enough grist to nurture the frog?

Nope. You can just talk to them.

how did feferi's lusus die?

Not shown but presumably meteor strike

what was the point of the vast glub? why would anyone need to kill all trolls who aren't fuchsia blood?

It’s a very effective threat to keep people in line

Can you tell me some of the personality differences between dirk ad Dave?

Take a peak at this

Why was the Condesce only present in post-scratch Earth? Shouldn't she have been on beta Earth too?

She was, just lowkey. She was Betty Crocker there too.

Is there anything that suggests Denizens are meant to be fought in the first place? Or do most playes just flip out at the sight of a monster and prospect of a boss battle?

Usually it’s the player that initiates the Strife, Denizens are more like old Sages you go to for help. 

What was Caliborn's dream planet?

Derse

so is jade a furry or nah?

I dunno, you tell me

You haven't answered alot of my questions :c Do you just not know or are you ignoring them?

We currently have over 1800 asks, we don’t get to every one, but we’ll get there eventually.

How many people survived the game?

16? Looks like 16 survived the kids’ game, or at least those are the ones that entered the new universe.

while feferi's lusus was dying, wouldn't it have released a vast glub? or am I remembering something wrong...

It did

roxy could be a lesbian with compulsory heterosexuality

You’re free to believe so

Why did Caliborn destroy that clock? What did it do and how significant was it? It kind of broke me inside when he did that but i completely forgot why.

Clocks are what decide if a God Tier’s death was Heroic or Just or neither, by destroying it with the JuJu breaker he made it so he could not get a heroic or just death making him effectively Immortal

I thought it was confirmed by Hussie in a formspring that trolls had tentabulges?

nope

is it ever canonly stated whether or not kurloz is good or evil? or why he makes people like meenah, cronus and aranea so uneasy?

He works alongside Gamz to help LE so you can go ahead and put him in the villain category 

can you give me a timeline of solluxs death statuses?? i dont really understand the progression to halfdead or the ramifications of his having two dreamselves

How does Karkat have a sign if his ancestor is the signless???

After [The Signless’s] execution, the body was burned leaving only his irons. They cooled in the ash, as if his anger itself was subsiding, and his followers appropriated their shapes in defiance of the Highbloods. The symbols became the sign of the Signless, always shown as colorless as the cold iron, to conceal the stigma of his hue”

Can you state all canon instances of grimdark/Condense-controlled people/trolls?

Rose in Act 5 Act 2

Jade in Act 6 Act 5 Act 1 - Act 6 Act 5 Intermission 5 (not including Act 6 Act 5 Act 2) 

Not Eridan, he did not go grimdark no matter how much you think he did. That color contrast on the one page is not indicative on grimdarkness, that’s not how grimdark works.

How does a troll receive their sign?

They’re given it at a young age, presumably by the same drones that build their hive.

what was the name of caliborns planet?

Land of Colours and Mayhem

if vriska's lusus killed her, what would've happened to it?

Probably nothing. Alternian culture is a survival of the fittest one.

does terezi like buttsex

She’s 16

sorry I'm the person who asked about vriska's lusus, to clarify, I meant what would happen to it from a survival point of view rather than a culture point of view.

It’d probably get another troll, i dunno. this topic isn’t really explored in canon

Is it canon that Kankri uses Social Justice to hide that fact that he doesn't care, or is that Fannon?

He doesn’t care about the real issues, that’s canon. Whenever Porrim brings up gender roles Kankri dismisses it as distracting from whatever topic he’s blabbing about whether that be warm-identifying physically-cooler castes or pale aromantic, panquadrant demiromantic, something in the gray palesexual department or such
 

I feel kind of stupid asking this, but is it pronounced like Ders, or Dersé?

Pronounce it however you like. I personally pronounce it  Dərs

does kanaya still have a hole in her abdomen??

Possibly

Is there a reason why John didn't merge with his kernel sprite in page 002098 when he high fived it? It seems like Hussie just forgot or something...

Because he’s the sprite’s player and he wasn’t doomed or dead

Could you tell me every canon time everyone died? I'm doing a art project and i'm hopefully going to use their blood hues as a marking for a death...

One list of every death coming right up

I'm pretty sure Hussie said it's meant to be based off Terse and something else like Dark, so it should probably rhyme with terse. Just like "echeladder" has a soft sh- sound because it's a portmanteau of "echelon" and "ladder".

Yes that’s true, but ultimately it doesn’t really matter how you pronounce it, we all know what you’re talking about.

is bro the one who wrote the game bro thing on sburb?

Nope

When is it stated that John likes anime? (if he even does) xxx

I’ve answered this before :3

Why is johns land the land of wind and shade? How does it fit with his character?

Wind being both his Aspect and associated classical element (air), shade represents darkness to parallel Rose’s Light.

Can two trolls (that aren't ancestor/descendant) have the same sign?

It’d be incredibly rare, but possible. It’d probably be the closest thing to siblings that trolls would get.

Is it possible to ever go grimdark at one point and then later trickster or can you only ever be one?

You can only be one at a time, and you probably couldn’t go from one to the other. They’re kinda parallels so maybe the cure to grimdarkness (aside from death) would be the lollipop juju

What IS a drone? Is it another species besides troll?

They appear to be robots

Sorry but I kinda forgot what the deal with Consorts are, I feel like this is a silly question

They’re pretty much NPCs

How do trolls get their signs? Do they pick them or are they assigned? Does it depend on their lusus?

They’re assigned them in their youth

has the handmaid ever had anything to do with the other ancestors? or has her story always been "separated"?

She would timetravel to instigate events (just like her pre-scratch self) she never directly interacted with the other ancestors, except for Condy. But she probably meddled in their affairs

In a Void session the ring of the White Queen is the ring of life?

No

Did Problem Sleuth take place in any of the sessions we know about in Homestuck?

Problem Sleuth did not take place in the same universe as Homestuck

Was there any specific way to go grimdark other than to act morally wrong? Or did i hit the nail on the head?

Completely wrong actually. Grimdark deals with the power and influences of the Horrorterrors and their Eldritch Magic.

They weren’t??

The only direct mention of Problem Sleuth is when Jane talks about her Problem Sleuth poster, when John talks about his Problem Sleuth poster and when he uses his Problem Sleuth game to make stuff

How did the trolls learn to read

They presumably have some means of education called “SCHOOLFED”. The word is used a few times throughout Act 5 in reference to learning.

how did john know that karkat was a boy in the "i am not a homosexual" pesterlog at the beginning of a5a2?

That was one of John’s last conversations he had with Karkat. John had talked to him several times before so he probably picked it up along the way.

how was the vriska that deployed the weapon alive? sorry these alt universes got me hella mixed up.

She flew there

About the Problem Sleuth questions, they might be referring to the Problem Sleuth cameos at the end of the flash "MIDNIGHT CREW: ACT 1031"

That was a story, like Homosuck. So it doesn’t happen in the same universe.

So if a room is called a block, and a bathtub is called an ablution trap, can we call the bathroom an ablution block?

Sounds good enough, but don’t forget, only commoners call them ablution traps

would any ring bring people back to life, or would it have to be specifically from a session with no prototyping. (or am I competent wrong on both assumptions lol)

Only the Ring of Life can bring people back to life and The Ring of Life isn’t from the Alpha kids’ session, it originated with Hussie.

i thought the first thing karkat said pre-hivebent was to jade: back in like act 3, the "HEY, IDIOT. SO TODAY IS THE DAY YOU FUCK EVERYTHING UP" thing?? idk i might be wrong

Oh wait, what I said was the frist thing he said to John.  The real first words to come out of Karkat’s mouth are  CG: HI AGAIN, IDIOT.

homosuck wasn't an alt universe was it? wasn't it just a silly story caliborn made up?

Right, just a story
