You are so great for using that Brock gif omfg.

-Mod L

How can LE bring sexy back when it's already here?

-Mod L

can there be a reblogable version of that ask please?

Just the one? Don’t you sort of need both of them?

-Mod L

Can we have that last rebloggable as a rebloggable

That one needs to be rebloggable too please

Someone already has you covered.

-Mod L

Can we have that ask asking for a rebloggable version of the rebloggable version of the ask about Lord English bringing sexy back in a rebloggable version?

Nah, I need to stop this nonsense before we start getting complaints.

-Mod L

Can we have that last rebloggable as an ask

-Mod L

Mod. You have a problem.

I’ve noticed.

-Mod L

Why does it seem like you guys get the most shit out of the homestuck blogs I follow? The mods are wonderful and the content is exactly what the title says so why?

THANK GOD.

SOMETHING THAT ISN’T COMPLETE NONSENSE.

If I had to guess, it’s probably because most of the mistakes we make are more or less our faults or that our content is sometimes lackluster; but I guess if you want an answer that’s not just speculation you should ask someone who dislikes us.

-Mod L

It was just a joke. Now it's a rebloggable rebloggable rebloggable of a joke.

YOU CAN’T ESCAPE

THE JOKE

-Mod L

as the anon that originally sent the fact about le bringing sexy back, i'm not sure if i should be proud or regretful of what unfolded here

Why not both?

-Mod L

um, this might seem odd but why is my url one of the tags on the "Now it's a rebloggable rebloggable " ask? cartoondolle asked it not me.

That would be because I’m an idiot and clicked the first url that I saw that began with a “C,” I’ll go fix that.

-Mod L

Is mod L WarpedLamp?

I dunno, it’s not like we have an FAQ or anything.

-Mod L

with the sollux and feferi's scream fact, sollux cant actually understand the screams of the soon to be deceased. I know it's in one of the pesterlogs he has with aradia but I cant find it at the moment

Not to sound rude friend, but not being able to find your evidence sort of invalidates your point.

-Mod L

if you give me a little while, I'll sift through the logs and try and find it

You probably should have done that to begin with.

-Mod L

Rose said Dave had fiery red hair once in a pesterlog.

You seem to have forgotten something, but that’s par for the source by now.

-Mod L

When Rose said that, she was talking about Smuppets. Check your privilege.

Done.

-Mod L

okay wow I cant find it. I swear I read it in a pesterlog though... oh well, retract on that sollux/feferi ask i did and I deeply apologize for bein a tool ;w;

Relax friend, you didn’t seem like a tool to me.

-Mod L

You need to run the program as the True Administrator.

But Mod F is the true administrator, that just wouldn’t be right.

-Mod L

Mod L just get out you don't deserve to be in this fandom or on tumblr.

Probably not, but I feel like an analogy is in order. Wasps don’t deserve to exist on this earth, in my opinion, but despite how much you tell a wasp to leave it won’t listen to you; that is because wasps are cold little shits and they don’t care what you think.

-Mod L

mod L you're beautiful never leave

I don’t plan on it.

-Mod L

i now officially love mod L :D

-Mod L

I love you Mod L. You just give the best replies ever

I try my hardest.

-Mod L

Psst Mod L. Will you be my waifu?

-Mod L

ilu mod L

…crap

I already used my “and I love you random citizen gif”

…hmmm, what to do what to do.

Oh wait, I got it!

Shit.

-Mod L

Mod L, can I have a kawaii hugg? unu

There you go, friend.

-Mod L

Hey I have a question! Umm, I think a somewhat forgotten fact is that not only was Eridan sawed in half by Kanaya but decapitated by Gamzee, how would one source that?

I don’t think we would let that through anyways, it just seems like the sort of thing that we would get backsass for posting. Sorry friend.

-Mod L

if one of the mods were to have been brutally murdered how would the others react?

That’s a pretty concerning question, friend.

-Mod L

regarding my last question. how WOULD you act?

The same way that I would act if any of my friends were to be horribly murdered.

You probably could have deduced this on your own volition.

-Mod L

Mod F is a 1500 year old Buddhist Saint, I can get behind this.

ok

Don't stop accepting shipping submissions because some people are butt-hurt. You can't help whats in the comic and if they are so mad they should take it up with Andrew Hussie rather than and of the mods because you didn't make it that way your just showing people true facts.

Amen.

-Mod L

Hey furgoten homseutck facts did u kno that eridam is forevver alon? SOURE: a funy pix

Thank you.

I really had absolutely no idea.

-Mod F

If you get alot of flame for posting shipping submissions, based on canon ships, why don't you just make a disclaimer that states that you're not responsible for the canon relationships of characters then it would be as simple as copy pasting a link to people that have a problem with what canonically happens in homestuck.

Good idea.

We really should. The hate was mostly towards the one with Sollux and Feferi we posted… Just because it says that “Sollux wanted to spend a lot of time with feferi”
It was barely even shipping, it was just the truth!

-Mod F 

Erisol is canon not solfef source: google search for erisol gets 107,000 results while solfef only gets 16,300 :Y

That can’t possibly be how it works because DavespritexCosbytop only has 4 results and we all know how that ship is 100% canon.

-Mod L 

Can we get a rebloggable version of the Erisol ask, please?

Really?

Ok, I don’t see why not.

-Mod L

I'm sorry people give you a hard time about the facts on here. You don't deserve that bullshit.

Eh, sometimes we deserve it.

I mean, if we get something wrong then we get something wrong. There’s not too much else to say about it really.

-Mod L

Can I be the (male) midwife

Only if you believe you can.

-Mod L

Can I give the mods and the entire blog a hug? Because I would really like to.

I’d rather not.

-Mod L

Do you have the fact that terezi stated spades slick makes her nervous?

I can’t say that we do.

But for the record, if you add /tagged/<character> to the end of our url you could find that out for yourself.

-Mod L

hussie said all fantrolls and fankids are canon. even the shitty ones. (sorry i can't find the source!)

As much as I’d love to make that into a fact (and believe me, I would) I’m pretty sure we’d get hounded with “omg guys he wasn’t being serious.”

Also, I think he said that in one of his answers posts.

-Mod L

yknow a lot of these facts arent really what this blog is about. it's completely irrelevant to the comic whether terezi wears shoes while she sleeps, or what photo hussie used for jade's gun. these are actual things that are relevant to the plot line or just small things that are important that you might have forgotten you know?

Thank you for your wisdom, o’ Great One.  Clearly you know better than us what this blog is about with your slightly ambiguous message, shrouded by the security blanket of anonymity.  A shrine should be erected in your honour for gathering up the generosity to inform us of our folly.  I wipe the egg off my face and salute your towering understanding of relevancy. 

But in all seriousness, some of the facts that you have flagged as irrelevant maintain their place on this blog nonetheless.  Others may refer to them for reasons other than yours.  While one person browses this blog for plot-related information they may have missed, another may be looking for humourous things to include in a roleplay.  And other reasons yet.  Denying facts that are not plot-related would potentially rob a person of some interesting tidbit of knowledge that they may have fun musing over.

Furthermore, this blog is for fun.  Getting all seriousface about Homestuck is… kind of stupid.  It is a webcomic.  On the internet.  In which a lot of stupid extraneous shit takes place.  While I enjoy the plot of Homestuck, I also enjoy the weird, pointless antics that go down irrelevant to Large Overarching Plot shenanigans.  So if someone wants to submit a fact about Terezi’s shoe-status, who the fuck am I to decide that that’s “irrelevant” to Homestuck?  That is not an authority that I am in any position to hold.  And, you know, it’s all part of the goddamn fun.

Intense respect for that fucking awesome slam.

Well thank you.

- the other one

nooooooooooo that last fact was the same as my fact! does my submission get deleted now? ;_;

Yours was actually already posted.  The most recent one is a re-post of the fact.

There are three people running this blog, sometimes things wiggle in through the cracks.

-the other one

You have a point about not dismissing anything as "irrelevant to the comic", but Anon has a point too: if this blog is called "Forgotten HS Facts", the *facts* should be things that were known some time ago, but then were *forgotten*. The blog isn't called "Facts you never knew about HS" or "Assorted HS facts". No one has the right to tell you people what to post, but consistency tends to be desirable.

True, but we now enter the realm of debating what exactly constitutes a “fact”.  A debate, which can be extended indefinitely, and even if we were to come to some solution, this is not exactly the forum in which such analysis would be appropriate.

So, while I do not hold any sort of jurisdiction over said realm of discussion, I do hold a certain power over this blog, along with Mod F and Mod L.  That power being what gets posted.  

And a certain power also goes to the mass population of submitters, because that is a large part of what helps this blog run.  So *someone* obviously thinks that each fact is worth a second look, and took the time to create a post for it, whether it be a submitter, or one of the mods.

-the other one

Just curious... Is "the other one" a Discworld reference? Regarding a coven of witches? (Because that would be SO COOL!)

No, I’m sorry.  It’s a reference to an anon who apparently forgot the severely complex name “Mod A” and referenced me in the context “mod L, mod F, and the other one” and I thought I’d be a clever little douchebag and go by that.

-the other one

Wow are people really arguing over this. I just-- wow.

Not really.  I can see where they’re coming from, to be honest.  But I disagree.  And that’s just part of life, you know?  If everyone thought the same way about everything humanity would have probably died out already.  

People’s thoughts being challenged is vital.  Granted, in most of those exchanged no one’s mind changes.  But as far as I can see, it’s not so much an argument.  It’s an argument if you take out the negative connotation of “argument”.

-the other one

You type so much longer responses than mod F and mod L, why?!

There’s this new thing that they just discovered.  Oh man, it’s gonna blow your pants off when you hear it.  Are you ready?  No you’re not.  But I’m gonna tell you anyway.  Please try to contain yourself:

Sometimes, people are different from eachother.

CRAZY, RIGHT?!? I didn’t believe it when I first heard it.  But now the whole world is starting to make more sense!  Gosh, I feel so foolish for having gone around most of my life thinking that everyone was identical to everyone else. 

-the other one

The double spacing at the beginning of sentences doesn't really help the length thing

I can put double spaces after a full stop if I so please.  The ‘length thing’ is not a problem that needs to be helped.  I am perfectly content with the voluminosity of my replies.

-the other one

Andrew why are you such a weirdo?

Are you lost?

-the other one

Can I just take this moment to say that I love how sassy The Other One is, because I do. You're awesome. ^^

Thanks!

I’m sure you’re pretty awesome as well.  I mean, that’s mostly speculation because I know nothing about you.  But you like that I’m sassy, so my speculation is by no means baseless.
