how do u remember all of this omg

I don’t. I look it up. At any given moment that I’m answering questions I’ll usually have at least two tabs open to mspa and one to the wiki.

But, since there are infinite universes, couldn't homosuck be canon in one of them?

no karkat talked to jade first

And that’s what he said

hello hey, you must be hella tired of these kind of questions and this is not a subject i like either, but, on somewhere around act 5, kanaya sees rose and says "skin as pale as ghost"? doesnt this mean she has a canon race then? sorry im confused D:

No kids have a canon race.

About the dreambubbley thingy, is this also the reason why there are no alpha kids in the bubbles? do they ever wake up there when they go to sleep also? i cant really remember

There are no Alpha kids there because they had no doomed timelines (except GO),but they do dream there. That’s where Jake first met Aranea and BG!Dirk gave him a boner, it was very embarrassing.

is it cannon or fannon that lil cal fucked bro up?

Fanon supported by canon

how exactly do Vriska's dice calculate the final result?

Luck?

so go!jane and go!jake are in the dreambubbles as ghosts? and could you source when was it stated that they have no other doomed timelines

Yes, and it wasn’t stated, they just didn’t have anyone with time travel capabilities until the Beta kids showed up to make doomed timelines

Ok so, if WV and PM made it to the new universe, and weren't on the lily pad, that should mean that the others, like Jack and Ms. Paint made it too, right?

Possibly

how's Mod T doing today? and if this is the wrong place to ask, where is the right place? :O

You can head on over to my personal blog

Problem Sleuth wasn't in the Homestuck universe? ...But what about the Midnight Crew? Are the events in PS just not canon then?

The events of Problem Sleuth happen in Problem Sleuth. The Midnight Crew (or at least it’s members) is kind of a Universal Constant

How many times have Jade and Rose interacted in canon? Like in a way that isn't them typing at each other? Also if you provided pics that would be GREAT ;w;

Twice, when Grimbark Jade shows up on the Meteor.

Why specifically was Rose able to soak to the horrorterrors? Why not Dave? Since he was also a Derse dreamer.

He wore his shades so he couldn’t hear their whispers. 

Wait. I thought there were only 48 signs. How would it be rare for two trolls to have the same sign?

There are far more than 48 signs, there are thousands. Trolls have a 48 sign horoscope tho, that’s where that number comes from.

How did the shades prevent Dave from hearing this whispers?

Because he was always distracted

Why is John's planet land of wind and shade like the wind comes from his aspect but why shade?

I answered this like two hours ago

Why does Calliope not take the Caliborn's queen in her game with him?!?!?! She could have easily won!!

After going through their chess game (both parts) I can confidently say, she never had the oppurtunity

whatever happened to ar/the caution tape exile?

He died at the hand of Bec Noir

Do you need time travel/Time heroes to make a doomed timeline? I thought anyone could do it just by screwing up the "path" of action.

The time player needs to go back and stop them from doing that though. If no one goes back and changes it then it’s not a doomed timeline, it’s the alpha timeline where everyone just so happens to be doomed

plot hole related: jack english was created when gamzee sent lil cal to him in prison, so why did he exist post-retcon where gamzee had been in the fridge the whole time?

We can assume that Vriska did it, because Vriska did all of Gamz’s other stuff and has a history of wanting to create villians

wait how did pm get to earth

Skaian Defense Portal, just like the other exiles

wait but wouldn't it be possible to use the lotus pod to go back in time to earth via the reckoning before the session and create/fix a doomed timeline even without a time player? I think it would be.

Possibly, if you could get to the Frog Temple which would be floating out in the Veil

Where did "I got up at 5am and made all these damn pancakes" come from?

This post

how could vriska time travel when doing all of the things she did in the post-scratch session?

She had Aradia’s Temporal Music boxes

A time player isn't necessary for a doomed timeline to be created. There was a doomed timeline created where Terezi didn't kill Vriska, and Vriska went to confront Jack, with the alpha timeline still being the one where Terezi did kill Vriska, with no intervention from a time player.

That wasn’t a doomed timeline, that was a possible timeline that would have ended with everyone being doomed, completely different thing.

if a time player comes from a doomed timeline, are they automatically doomed? What happens if the version from the alpha timeline died, but a doomed version came in? Sorry if this doesn't make sense

Yes they’re still doomed even in the scenario you suggest

Would it be possible for someone to force their way into a session from the planet, or would the game have accounted for that already?

They could use the teleporters in the Frog Temple, but if a session is in progress all indigenous life on the players’ planet should be dead

There was a time when Cronus thought for a moment that he found Problem Sleuth, Ace Dick, and Pickle Inspector, right? But they were just carapacians?

Yes, that happened in Openbound Part 2

What evidence do you have for it not being a doomed timeline, exactly?

It didn’t actually happen.

If all sessions are accessible by the medium, would it be possible to travel to or invade someone else's session or universe?

I suppose so

I know its never really addressed in canon, but do you think identical twin trolls would be possible?

I’m not sure, I don’t know enough about insect genetics

It was stated that the black queens ring cant effect humans, but is it ONLY humans? Can it effect other species? Or does it only work on carapacians?

It most likely only affects carapacians

Time clones from doomed timelines are indeed doomed eventually. But, what of Davesprite's case? A future Dave who should have been doomed went back, programmed himself into the kernelsprite, and was eventually programmed with Nepetasprite to become Davepetasprite^2. While fighting Caliborn with the Undertale reference, I don't recall Davepeta being defeated but I may be wrong. But now that the session is over and the game is complete, would Davepetasprite^2 still be doomed or no?

Davepeta is an entirely different entity connected to every version of their components and thus I feel that they are beyond that doomedness

how exactly did the trolls find the kids, again?

Terezi had Dave send her past self money 

I've been sent quite a bit of hate for the way I draw trolls, is it ever directly stated that trolls look like humans with gray skin and horns? or can their anatomy be interpreted differently? thank you!

Nope, it’s never stated that they look just like humans, draw them however you like. I personally always enjoy seeing them when they’re drawn more insect-like.

Can someone modify their dreambubble setting just by thinking about it?

To an extent

how would one transport their dead dreamself to their planet?

You go get it and bring it to your planet??

In your opinion, what are the best "scenes" (dialogue wise) in homestuck?

Anything involving Caliborn, Dave/Equius rap off, John/Tavros interactions, Davepeta, John/Terezi flirtations. Honestly I need to reread everything I’m sure there’s some gr8 ones out there I’m not remembering

Again, what evidence do you have that it never happened? Homestuck takes a lot of cues from many worlds theory, which states that when there is any probability of two outcomes happening, they both do, creating separate timelines. It's presented as a very real possibility that Terezi may not choose to stab Vriska, which would imply that there is a timeline in which that happens.

It’s presented as a timeline Terezi sees might occur, there’s no real evidence outside of that saying it didn’t truly happen but there also none supporting that it did.

What determines a troll and their ancestor? Like, how does a troll find out who their ancestor is? Are they related ectobiologically? Or by blood?

Most trolls never learn about their ancestor as they likely lived several hundred sweeps apart. Usually they’re related by blood but in our trolls’ case it’s ectoiology

why is mod t so rude...? people arent always all-knowing like you, why the attitude?

I sometimes have trouble with tone, feel free to let me know if my sarcastic nature is veering into the poopypants territory.

Does latula have a canon land?

No

If John can do the windy thing before he got God Tier that mean Caliborn can do the time thing and Calliope the spacy thing before they got God Tier or they can't because they are normal biology and not ectobiology?

It really depends on their classpect. Like Karkat shows traits of his title but you wouldn’t really classify it as a “bloody thing” because it doesn’t appear to be some sort of magic.

What are the limits of John's retcon abilities?

None really, he can go anywhere and anywhen and do whatever he pleases

Do all Derse dreamers have to go grimdark, unless they find a way to avoid it? And what are the ways to avoid it, other than... wearing shades???

No, Rose is the only character in Homestuck to go grimdark

About the ring of the black queen, didn't the condesce had it and that's why she can use chucklevoodos?

The Condesce never used Chucklevoodo and the ring she had was the Ring of Void

Didnt eridan go grimdark or just was that my imagination??

He did not go grimdark

How did jade go Grimbark again? I know it had to do with influence of the condesce, but how exactly?

Condy was partially controlling her via the bronze-blood animal communing ability. 

In your opinion, what are the best "scenes" (dialogue wise) in homestuck?

forgottenhsfacts:

Anything involving Caliborn, Dave/Equius rap off, John/Tavros interactions, Davepeta, John/Terezi flirtations. Honestly I need to reread everything I’m sure there’s some gr8 ones out there I’m not remembering

Oh and the scene were Gamzee goes full on juggalo jargon when Aranea released him from mind control and then immediately shuts him up

As much as i love Gamzee's juggalo jargon personally Atomic double Juggalo backbreaker will always be my favorite scene.

I love Terezi too much for that to be anywhere near my list
