thrice-queen:

hey who (or what) the fuck is this

and why the fuck is his blood black

His blood is black because he’s not a troll. Hussie stated back on his formspring that His Honorable Tyranny is and I quote “…a huge gross monster

Additionally: “ When the highbloods were setting up the judicial system, they said ok we’re going to need some judges for this thing. Then they said ok how about these massive brainless monsters, that would be so perfect. ”

Did it ever mention Dirk’s favorite my little pony?

It’s Rainbow Dash

Did Hussie ever declare Rex duodecium Angelus as canon? I swear remembering such.

It’s based on canon information but the flash itself is not canon.

Why is it assumed that the trolls ancestors have the same name as the dancestors? I’ve seen people call the dolorosa porrim. Also, where was it confirmed that the ancestors have the same aspect and class as the dancestors?

Grandpa Harley is referred to as Jake in Hiveswap, Nanna confirms her name is Jane here, and the Handmaid is referred to as Damara here

It’s not confirmed necessarily, the ancestors technically don’t have a class or an aspect since they don’t play the game, they just show traits of their other selves classpect, which I discussed here

Do the trolls have canon birthdays?

Karkat’s wriggling day is 6/12 but none of the other trolls have one confirmed

do we know how old the Mayor is?

At least 3

On what pages does Dave wear his red-sleeved record scratch shirt (the one they sell on welovefine)?

He’s wearing it when he finds Bro’s body

how have the Sgrub low bloods, especially those from Beforus, survived for so long? don’t trolls have a shorter and shorter lifespan as they go down the hemospectrum?

There used to be a calculator for this but I believe the lowest lifespan (Damara/Aradia) would still be like 20-30 years, and all the homestuck characters are in their teens until the credits in which case there aren’t really any lowbloods left that we know survived (save Karkat and due to his mutation he might have midblood lifespan, unknown)

So, I'm trying to write fanfics that mentions Jake and Dirk's breakup. Is it ever explained what exactly happened, like how it happened and why? I can't find it (though maybe I'm just bad at using google). Thank you for taking your time :)

You can read the break up here if you like, it explains everything

When was gamzee and Karkat officially pale?

Right at the end of Act 5, and a little bit into Act 6, it’s not shown specifically when they break it off

replied to your post

“how have the Sgrub low bloods, especially those from Beforus, survived…”

Isn’t this and that chart a headcanon and not a fact.

The fact that lowbloods have shorter lifespans is canon, the chart I mentioned absolutely is not, but it provides a nice frame of reference.

where did arquiusprite come from during Caliborn’s masterpiece? Did he go with everyone else to earth C? Gcatavrosprite is on Earth C so i don’t think its too farfetched to assume the same with Arquius, i just don’t remember him showing up in Act 7 or in any snapchat update

The last time we see Arquius is in Collide when he’s on Derse with Dad Crocker so he could have gone straight into the Furthest Ring to eventually end up in Caliborn’s session, but it’s also possibly that he just waited the whole time on Earth C, we don’t know for sure.

do you have any fascinating facts about tavros?

He told Jade he killed her Grandpa and then in the same pesterlog confessed his feelings for her, kid’s got some bravado

this might be a really dumb question but I gotta ask.. did eridan have some kind of self destructive behavior at one point or am I getting it messed up with a fanfiction I read?

I mean I’m no character analysis but I think it’s fair to say Eridan had some self-destructive behaviors. 

Isnt The Condesce able to "steal" psychic powers? I don't remember what page it was mentioned on (if it was)

No, she just has access to all the different psychic abilities thanks to the power up LE gave her combined with her obnoxiously long lifespan and experiments she did on herself

at what age are trolls considered adults and get exiled?

It’s likely 8 sweeps since that’s nearly 18 earth years, but if I recall correctly Dammek is close to exile and he’s either 6 or 7 so it might be 7 sweeps as well. Has not been 100% confirmed

did the beta kids escape the scratch just by simply leaving the game area and going into the furthest ring? or was it more complicated than that?

they just left the game area but they had to go down a very specific path which was complicated to do

How old is gamzee when he becomes Caliborn's guide in human years?

Either 16 or fucking ancient, there is no inbetween

How can the vriscourse exist. She’s clearly not a good person because she’s not even a person

Vriscourse still exists? I thought we all collectively agreed that she was a good character but a bad person like three years ago.

Where is Sollux at the end of Act 7?

He’s out in the Furthest Ring with everyone

What order of age do the beta kids come in? (Oldest, second oldest, second youngest, youngest)

Jade (Dec 1 1995)  is the oldest, then Dave (Dec 3 1995), then Rose (Dec 4 1995), and John’s (April 13 1996)  the youngest

is "karkles" fanon or canon? if canon, who says it?

Fanon

Where did people get the idea that trolls don't have nipples? Didn't Arquiusprite confirm it along with that book cover about quadrant vacillation that Karkat showed Dave?

The idea came because they hatch from eggs and therefore don’t have a biological need to have nipples, but yes, trolls having nipples was confirmed by Arquius and Damara

im still confused, when do the beta kids get sucked into the juju?

At the very end. After the credits they’ll go fight Caliborn and get sucked in

what if tavros doesn't even wear a shirt. what if he just has a shirt tattooed over his entire torso

But he changes clothes, we’ve seen him in his pupa pan outfit so he must be able to put a shirt on somehow, if it wasn’t for that I’d be all over this theory

I just saw a recent post that had all the trolls we know of from hiveswap and homestuck. Karkats bloodline was not red and put in between nepetas and kanayas I think. I saved it if you wanna see. But I don't remember why it's like that. Do you??

Well the Cancer symbol goes between Gemini and Leo in the horoscope cycle which is why it’s always been theorized that Karkat’s blood would have been Lime Green (the color between Gold and Olive) had it not been for his mutation making it Candy Red.

gemini and leo not leo and virgo

Right, brain fart, my bad. I fixed that post

Why does calliope still have swirled cheeks at the end of homestuck? Shouldn’t she have just a full green circle? Sorry for my dumb question i forgot

She never predominated because it was only her left in her ghost-bod so she’s stuck as a Cherub child forever just like Caliborn

so for the kids on earth c, will they live forever because they’re still god tier? or are the god tier powers cancelled because the game is over? also if the powers don’t cancel, does this mean dave and rose will inevitably outlive karkat and kanaya? thanks!

The god tier powers are still in effect as seen when they go to fight in Caliborn’s Masterpiece. And yes, Dave and Rose will eventually outlive Karkat and Kanaya if they ever get out of the house juju.

are ghosts in dream bubbles stuck there forever? or are they allowed to move on after?

They can move to different bubbles if they overlap but basically they’re stuck there forever unless something can doublekill them

What was Jade's strife specibus?

Riflekind

shouldnt there be a ghost caliborn floating around somewhere in the dream bubbles?

Yeah, there should be one from Alt.Calliope’s timeline

Was Jane ever a good friend? Because she seemed to have a lot of outbursts and hurt her friends from it

I’m not really qualified to say what is and isn’t a good friend but Jane seems to be. The Alpha kids in general are kind of a mess, Jane was just overly skeptical in the earlier Act 6 acts and put through a ton of shit throughout the later acts, we never really go to see her at her best.

Is it possible for sburb to happen irl cause I want that so much

haven’t you been paying attention to the news at all the last year or so?
Homestuck is seeping its way into reality one event at a time, we’ll get to sburb eventually

Is it wrigglers or wigglers?

It’s wiggler. Wriggler is only used once and it’s by Roxy who probably doesn’t know the proper troll terms.

friendly reminder that there is a chance that a big space rock will pass by Earth to say hi on April 13, 2029 (or 2036? i don't remember, it's april 13 either way)

It’s 2029, which is also a Friday the 13th

Help me, I have a big dilemma. I'm on the last 100 or so pages of Homestuck and I don't want to finish it so I can pretend it never ended, but I also want to keep reading. What do I do?

Finish it and immediately start reading it again, it only gets better on the next read through

The blog’s (not the mod’s) classpect would be seer of void

Is this some kinda insult? If so, then ouch, that burn’s hotter than a furnace from minecraft 

hey im the anon from earlier asking about the kids on earth c! the answer you gave me (and i could be wrong my brain is fried) was talking about the end of act 7. what i’m actually asking, regarding if the god tier powers are still working, is regarding the post canon content released by the MSPA snapchats. in that context, on earth c specifically as shown in the snapchats, would the kids still be god tier?

Yes because Caliborn’s Masterpiece happens after any of the post-canon content as it is canonically the last known event to happen in story since the Beta kids get trapped and the Alpha kids get stranded. 

Hey, what page was it said how old a troll will be when they're exiled from Alternia? I think it was 9 sweeps with almost certainty, but I can't find the page, or even the part where I think the page was. As far as I can remember, Doc Scratch was talking about it, and we got to see Mindfang a bit.

It hasn’t been stated the exact age a young troll is exiled. But it is likely in the 7-9 range

How do adult trolls change with age? In depictions I’ve seen them have all dark orange horns and generally really big and with bigger horns maybe... Is this a stylistic choice or does it reflect actual physiology of adult trolls? Thank you!!

The black skin and all orange horns are stylistic as far as we know. Adult trolls eyes fill in with their blood color and they grow to be relatively large compared to younger trolls.

i'm pretty sure there was a frame (one of the select-a-character ones i think?) where meenah fantasized about being the condesce... would you say the outfit in that frame (and where the actual skin was) would be an accurate way to look at her condescension's outfit?

I believe you’re referencing this page, where it looks like the Condy’s outfit is a black jumpsuit then yeah, that’s probably fairly accurate to what it actually is

in response to "The blog’s (not the mod’s) classpect would be seer of void", how is that an insult? They're just saying that this blog sees what is forgotten, lost in the void. Not some weird insult

See now this plays into how classpects can’t be concretely defined because my first interpretation was “this blog sees nothing, that it’s words are empty” but you’re thing is probably more akin to what was meant

Aside from the clothes, do the appearances of Dream Selves and God Tier bodies differ any from the original player body?

Dreamselves and God Tier are ideal versions of the person. Like how Tavros’s dreamself could walk and Vriska’s God tier had her arm and eye back. Terezi’s could have seen but her ideal self was being blind. Jade’s dreamself grew more arms on one occasion. 

was jane ever confirmed to be fat/overweight or is that just a very popular fan headcanon

Caliborn calls here a cow at one point but he’s also a massive misogynist so take it as you like

Is it the alpha beta kids who get trapped in the juju or is it an alterbate tineline?

It’s the alpha timeline as far as we know
