The order of the octet does matter, because doc scratch said that the chance of eight 8s was 8^y where y=8. This this number of permutations of eight dice, implying that either the dice themselves are designated as 1-8 or that whichever one hits the ground first is the first of the order
Dude, fuck, I dunno, I hate probability. Like I took advance math classes for most of my academic career and probability was, is, and always will be my weakest bit. I just am not good at it. I tried, but I dunno, maybe you’re right, I dunno, I give up, you guys are on your own for this one.
Do any of the Alpha kids play instruments that we know of? I know that Dave does rapping and mixing, John can play piano, Jade can play bass and Rose plays violin.
So there's this topic on ectobiology saying that ((for example)) dave is a guy because dirk is a guy and that it's impossible for one of them to be born a girl because of the genetics in ectobiology, but that doesn't make much sense to me. How do you see this ectobiology process in accordance to the topic?
That topic is using faulty logic because
1: it’s assuming genetics influence gender which isn’t always necessarily true and
2: Dave’s not a clone of Dirk, he’s got Roxy’s dna too.
At one point in-comic, Jade says to "think of [the multiverse] like a giant solar system, but instead of planets revolving around the [Green S]un, there are many universes." We know the creation of the Green Sun is visible from the Veil in the trolls' session. Following this logic, would the Green Sun's creation be visible from any session's Veil, or only those orbiting it at a specific distance?
Should be only those orbiting it. I doubt sessions with a different Green Sun would have seen it.
Would any sea dwelling trolls with a blood color too close to the empresses be killed at birth? I might be wrong but I think the empress kills the heiresses in order to have a longer reign, right?
Yes, but that’d only be the fuchsia blood. Being close to fuchsia isn’t fuchsia
PLOT TWIST!!!!!!!! Tell us something about the mod for the blog c: I bet there super cool
Oh boy, um, well, here’s my ships, I like irony, Dave Strider is my role model, everyday I aspire to be a little more like him. I love Pokemon to death, it’s my lifeblood and a pokeball was my first tattoo. I will inevitably get a homestuck tattoo but money, y’know. Also I think beetles are really cool. Feel free to hmu on my personal if you want to ask more things about stuff that is my opinion.
Additional Fun Fact: my babe used to follow this blog looong before they met me. They said it was super weird finding out I ran it.
Probably a dumb question, but how do SBURB/SGRUB players know their titles/classpects? Does the game tell them, do they just kind of know, or do they genuinely not know much until they go godtier?
They learn it from the lore of the land or from their consorts/sprites/carapacians
What exactly is/was the Beat Mesa, and what role did it play in Sburb and The Scratch?
The Beat Mesa is a construct that holds a massive amount of temporal energy that Skaia needs in order to enact the Scratch.
Basically, it’s like a fire hydrant that you crack open when there are too many irons in the fire. And the hose directs the water to make the fire go out so things can go smoothly next time.
How many times have you read homestuck? First page to whatever page was newest.
Twice. Back in 2012 and 2013. I read through Acts 1-4 last year. And I jump all over the place when I’m trying to answer questions. So all-in-all I’ve probably read it significantly more than that. But straight front to back, only the two times.
Now I'm curious!! What was the latest upd8 when you caught up to Homestuck the first time? Personally I binged from Act 2 right into Horrorstuck and what a beautiful regret that was
I don’t remember specifically, but I want to say it was right around [S] Jane: Proceed, maybe a little before
I checked the entire word-log of Homestuck, and not once does it mention anyone getting a haircut or cutting someone's hair. The only time scissors are mentioned is when John checks his dad's wallet out, wherein lays "Scissorkind". Fun fact for YOU!
Well if you want to get technical, this video is linked twice throughout the comic and Cameron Poe mentions meaning to get a hair cut in it
I am stupid. Please explain credits to me? Why are people saying this gave Gamzee a resolution? And is the Caliborn Masterpiece fight something that takes place in Universe C? (And if so, how did it take him out in [S] Collide?)
OKAY!!!! CREDITS: Broken into lines so it’s easier to read
From my initial two viewings basically: The kids won and went to the sped along Earth they brought with them.
They spend some time looking around,Battleship crew got a tour around the Meteor and then they ectobiologically MADE A SHIT TON OF BABIES of human, troll and carapacian descent. (Luckily Jake didn’t eat any of them)
And there’s lots of troll blood colors so limited supply of live trolls obviously wasn’t a factor in this.They ship the babies out with some grown Carapaces.
Then time drop 5000-something years into Earth’s future.Which is where the end of Act 7 takes place.
They’re return is celebrated and they are treated as royalty/gods, splitting up and taking rule over the 4 kingdoms (possibly a Problem Sleuth reference)
John, Jane, Dad Crocker and Nannasprite stay with the Human Kingdom
Terezi, Karkat, Dave, and Jade stay with the Troll Kingdom
Rose, Kanaya, Roxy and Calliope go to the Carapace Kingdom
Dirk, Jake, and Gcatavrosprite go to the Consort Kingdom
They go to John’s house to celebrate his 17th birthday.
THEN ROSE AND KANAYA GET MARRIED AND I CRY THEY”RE SO CUTE
Calli for some reason brings the Trickster Sucker and they have a little sugar fun.
Why there is Calliborn in Credits? What the timeline of all of that??? PLS HLP
That’s the Alpha Timeline Caliborn, the one that the kids beat up in the Masterpiece, the one that will become Lord English, the one we watched in Act 7 get his rainbow eyes. He’s there to instigate the kids into surprising him.
I don't exactly see how suddenly Dirk/Jake is canon again, and how Roxy/Calliope is canon? Yeah, they interacted alot, but I don't immediately see anything explicitly romantic about it all? Sure, every other ship took a major back seat to the Human Marriage, but do you mind supplying some proof?
Again, I jumped the gun. I was drawn in by the hype. Everyone just seemed so happy and gay, very unusual for Homestuck. Conclusions were jumped to. It’s possible that the aforementioned ships were being hinted at, but are not likely outright canon, unless we get some juicy gossip in the epilogue. mah bad
What happens to the kids after they turn 20 and fight Caliborn?
Well that seems to be the end of the Beta kids as we knew them.
The Alpha kids haven’t really been explored passed being stuck in Caliborn’s session/Far future-Earth. Perhaps the Epilogue will provide answers in this category
So like, I'm a little confused as to where some of these snaps are coming from. I followed the msp Snapchat with John and the earth c pic in it but where's the rest? Are there multiple Snapchats? What are their names? Sorry, i'm kind of lost.
I don’t think all the snaps were released on the Snapchat, or purrhaps they will be released throughout the day
The nature of the juju and what we see it do in canon dictates that the trapped kids will be released in time, right? Isn't that the case? I mean it sucks but its not permahell.
Does it though? The other characters we’ve seen get sucked into a juju never quite make it out as themselves.
Is there a character whose origin is unknown and could be explained by the "fusion" of the Beta Kids through that white house juju ? Just like Lord English being the fusion of Caliborn, Arquiussprite and a half of Gamzee ?
The black hole behind Terezi was the one callie created, meaning everyone is coming back through it. All the surviving Ghosts, Vriska, Aradia, and Sollux.
Nono my friend, that is the Black Hole alt Callie created, but everyone is being sucked in, not coming out.
Why are all the ancestors skin blacked out? Is it a stylistic choice? Is it for dramatic effect? Does the skin go darker with age..? (then again the dancestors have the regular grey..) It looks badass either way
It seems like it darkens with age since the Condesce is still shown with black skin in recent events
Did the treasure even do anything in the end? It seemed like the Black Hole was what did Lord English in. Was the treasure ever really important?
Well that’s debatable.
It could have stripped him of his invulnerability/immortality.
We know it had an effect on the kids entering their new universe which would eventually lead to them defeating Caliborn so one could consider that part of it’s “used against him” effect. It’s unclear.
are the universes that the alpha + beta kids started out playing sburb in all dead? like, have they been eliminated by scratches or destroyed by lord english / jack noir or
The kids universe is/was being killed by the Red Miles.
The trolls universe was destroyed when Snowman was killed.
The Beta kids medium was wiped out by the Scratch
The Alpha kids medium is likely still relatively intact
