Wait but isn't his sign based on the shackles the signless wore or somefing

Yeah, which is a symbol that was created after the Signless died. Which was centuries before Karkat was born. Either that or casually taken from the list and adapted to those rare cases because it looked that way.

Hey I'm worried that some of the people you get asks from didn't read all of Homestuck. Tho I guess it can't be help with Hiveswap around. I feel like an old Star Wars fan bitcheng about kids these days not knowing their episode 4 and only know their Jarjars and Kylo Rens. *old man sounds*

That’s fair really, this is a blog about Trivia, if someone didn’t get something or doesn’t quite remember, that’s exactly why I’m around! I tend to answer everything as though they’ve read the entirety of the comic though which could lead to Spoilers? But, it’s all full of Spoilers either way so… I guess peruse at your risk.

If trolls have 2 dicks, Sollux and Mituna must have 4

The reason why is that I want to make a goldblood troll who can't use psiionics

Goldblood Psiionics are a mutation. Chances are all Psychic Powers from castes are common mutations within the castes, but not specifically necessary.

dyou think someone with a creator class (forgot what they are sob) and hope as an aspect could have really vivid waking nightmares? or just dreams in general, and if they get powerful enough these dreams could interact with the physical world and other people?

Perhaps, not sure if Nightmares would fall in the same category as Dreams though.

Yo, what if Gamzee had a gun? Also, serious question, how do you think a showdown between a Prince and Witch of Void would go?

Gunzee. I don’t know how the showdown would go, it’d heavily depend on who said Prince and said Witch are.

Sollux Sol = Sun Lux = Light

This is a coincidence, as Sollux’s name comes from switching a letter from Pollux and caStor. The twins.

Do you think that the closer a troll is to the true sign, wether it be in aspect and/or moon sway, that the power of their psionics vary

Seems like the True Signs are sort of platonic ideals of the Castes, so maybe?

Gunzee anon here; Prince of Void is a magentablood with expertise in siege weaponry (specifically spears) and physical training, and Witch of Void is an indigoblood with scythe expertise and extensive commune with horrorterrors.

Again, not even a description like that could tilt the balance in either direction in my eyes. It would be extremely dependant of every event leading up to the fight, as well as whatever is happening on the rest of the Session at the moment. It’d be like predicting the weather for next week based on what you can see out of the window right now.

the last time we saw Kurloz, i think it was when vriska n her pirate crew found the artifact (the homestuck logo basically) and he just kinda picked up vriska's coat that she threw down in anger. is there a reason he was there??? did he need that coat or is he just bein a weirdo?

The general theory is that Vriska’s coat was used to create Lord English’ Cairo Overcoat at some point, but lately I’ve been wondering if Kurloz’s presence had anything to do with Vriska’s party splitting up and her eventual mellowing into (Vriska). I’ve found no evidence for this however.

What do the colors of the psiionic eyes mean?

So far, it’d seem it’s just personal  A e s t h e t i c s

I dunno if you've ever gotten this question before (and if you havent i'd be surprised) but what would happen to the underlings if you prototyped a regular human pre-entry?

They’d get traits of said Human. There’s no such thing as a ‘Regular’ Human, there’s always some trait to take upon.

Do you it was painful for Equius when he broke his right horn? Also I headcanon that it was either Kanaya or Nepeta who gave him ice to ease the pain

I headcanon it was at least a bit painful because he broke some of the orange part. I’d like to think the yellow part is less sensitive.

Mind players are like fucking Neo. Give them a book and some time and they're all "I know kung fu" and shit. They're like Johnny 5, just flipping through the pages at light speed and some how they absorb all the book's info

Snrk, at the very least Seers and Mages, I could see them like that.

I realised Chahut's horns were longer, way longer than that of Marvus's so my headcanon of Marvus being taller than Chahut is completely wrong! That is if we go by horn length = troll sweeps

Oooh, fair although some Trolls do seem predisposed to having bigger horns. I mean, Karkat vs Tavros, same age.

Does Vikare's horns point forward, backwards or upward?

Huh, good question. Maybe backwards? He’s a Troll aspiring to fly, so it’d make sense if they’d went backwards to be more  A E R O D Y N A M I C

So would they only take traits that would help them?

No, just. Any trait. The Harlequin doll is missing an arm, so are the Prototyped Carapacians. That’s not exactly helpful. They just get traits.

do we actually know how old feferi is? by all logic, fuschia-bloods age slower. she could be like 8 sweeps and none of us could tell

Everyone’s 6 sweeps at the start of Hivebent, give or take a few months, just like the Humans.

In Paradox Space, John prototyped the kernel with an armless harlequin, so when Jack Noir wore the ring, he would transform and revert back because he has no arms in his prototyped form

Yep, I think this is one of the best gags in the entire PS comic.

What is the paradox space comic

You’re welcome.

If Gamzee can never die, then he can never ascend?

I mean, Gamzee can die! As we saw in Game Over. It’s just that, if he dies, the Timeline is automatically deemed Doomed, so no matter what happens to him in the Alpha, he’ll come back. So an Ascension Death, a Death where he comes back and resurrects, would be technically plausible for him, since he’d just. Come back.

have you talked in the past about what powers a seer of life may have?

Yep.

I like how Daraya and Lynera are school-themed

However, I find it weird that Daraya is not one of the ‘good student’ stereotype, considering all jadebloods are motherly…

That’s Casteist! Really though, it is, Jades are associated to Space, and as such, to Creation and Motherhood, but that doesn’t mean every Jade has to be Motherly! It’s more of Society forcing them into those stereotypes. 

In a straight up brawl who would win, Equius or Feferi?

Feferi. Even with her being a Seadweller, I don’t think Equius would be able to bring himself to raise a hand against Feferi. Hell I don’t quite think he’d quite be comfortable beating any of the others up, with his obvious submissive nature even to those below the Hemospectrum for him, and surprisingly being the least murderous Troll. He vents with Robots and hasn’t made an attempt to harm anyone in his group at any point in the story.

Do you think Vriska would be able to make the beta kids, the alpha kids, Kanaya and Karkat fall asleep, one after the other? (assuming she's still maintaining her mind control on all of them)

Betas and Alphas, yes. Kanaya and Karkat, though, not quite. She can only make Humans fall asleep because of weird biological differences- I believe she cannot control Kanaya? Not quite sure about Karkat.

... why was Equius one of the nicest and best trolls personality wise

To teach us not to Kinkshame.

I have some idea for titles that could have been in "coloUrs and mayhem: Universe A": Rust Witch, Bronze Rogue, Gold Heir, Iron Seer, Olive Mage, Jade Maid, Teal Knight, Cobalt Sylph, Indigo Page, Purple Prince, Violet Bard and Fuchsia Thief

I wish we got Dancestor themes. Some of the versions of the songs in Meenah/Openbound aren’t even out officially.

I just had ... a thought. Could it be that ... Lord Jack, Union Jack, whatever ... became the host for LEs souls after he destroyed the Lil Cal in his prison cell? That would explain why big green LE stopped working after Lord Jack was killed.

The Lil Cal in the prison cell is the Exit, not the Entry, the actual Lil Cal with LE’s Soul is out in the Furthest Ring, and through those eyes he pretty much possessed Union Jack to become yet another iteration of LE (Do remember that Lord English has countless iterations of himself in the Multiverse). When LE ‘stopped working’, Jack was already dead, so judging by the green flickering aura fading away before the eyes lock onto 8-Balls, it’s more the Collapse of the Green Sun that froze him. That and the fact he was predestined to end there in a way.

Caliborn calls Lil' Cal a "juju." Later, Calliope explains that "juju" are said to have origins impossible to trace, emerging out of the void, and cannot truly be copied or destroyed Lil' Cal is a fine example of this. He was created by Gamzee as a nightmare to haunt Dave's dreamself based on Bro's puppet. That nightmare eventually was sent through a Skaian portal to become Bro's puppet, and then that puppet through elaborate shenanigans ended up following Jack into the

the troll’s session and eventually wound up in Gamzee’s hands, inspiring his own creation. It gets even more complicated: Gamzee’s creation is not entirely of his own volition; Dirk’s Dream Cal is found by Gamzee and given to Caliborn, and after Caliborn stores his soul inside Dirk’s Dream Cal, it becomes, in Caliborn’s words, “ENTANGLED WITH THE VOID” and is then transferred by Gamzee into the Cal he “creates.” As a result, Lord English is created, and he inspires Gamzee’s “chucklevoodoo” abilities and, with help from Kurloz, ensures he travels far enough in the void to get to Caliborn. Without Gamzee, Caliborn would have never discovered Cal. 

Caliborn does channel his Soul through Lil Cal but you’re also forgetting that it becomes possessed fully, not when he stares into it, but rather when he gets sucked into it after the Masterpiece.

I mean this entire sequence isn’t even that hard to follow, since we have a flash dedicated, precisely, to Cal’s entire Timeline.

Do you think Condys millennia life span was natural for Fuchsias or she passively expanded it through her thief of life powers?

It may have been helped by her Thief of Life powers, however Fuchsias do have obscenely long Lifespans to begin with. The higher on the Hemospectrum, the longer you live, and given Ceruleans live dozens of times what lower bloods live, it’s safe to assume the higher up, the more outrageous this difference is.

Honestly if Condy had just waited it out she could have outlived all of her problems

Not really, she needed the Matriorb so that’s a thing she couldn’t exactly wait for, and she despises Lord English, who’s keeping her in his service, and can’t exactly wait out for that. Besides, this is Condy we’re talking about. Adult Meenah. Waiting problems out ain’t her style.

Adult Meenah implies some kind of matural growth that took place. I like to call Condy Taller Meenah

I mean, even if she talks exactly like Meenah, she still was the Supreme Ruler of an Intergalactic Empire, I’d say she’s a tad more mature than Meenah.

As a Page of Void, was Horuss served Void to him?

Rather, no one served him Anything, and he stuck to the most stereotypical societal rules for the Bluebloods. He was everything an Indigo could hope to be, yet it was unfulfilling.

Witches are bound to turn against their friends at some point. Look at Damara, she turned against her team mates and sabotaged their session. As for Jade, she went Grimbark because of the Condesce and turned her friends, especially John and Roxy

Feferi didn’t exactly turn against her friends. But she did get more Eldritch. Witches ARE at risk of losing themselves to their Familiars, to their Aspect. So if their ‘losing themselves’ correlates to turning against their mates, yeah that could happen.

I wonder if alchemization is mainly supposed to be a process to allow the players access to tools they can use to channel and use their aspect before they ascend

It’s a Customization Tool, honestly it does make you a God before you even Ascend with the things you can make.

ARquius's canon voice is from hors from Land of Fans and Music 4

Absolutely not, as we know Vriska’s attracted to him because he looks like Nic Cage, ARquius’ Canon Voice is, evidently, Nic Cage’s.

Wait, how did Feferi get more eldritch?

I mean, her absolute disregard for Jade’s distress after experiencing horrifying Eldritch Visions, her nonchalant “Because, silly, I am DEAD!” moment, after creating the Bubbles and spending enough time in them she kind of got. Visibly desensitized to the weirdness. Where Aradia seems to stay behind to make the passing easier for newcomers like a sort of Guide of the Afterlife, Feferi just sort of throws Jade right into the Eldritch Pool with a giggle.

Where do you think the Ancestors are?

Dead.

Well, yeah. But their ghosts

Arguably, as they’re not players of the SGRUB-SBURB Chain, they didn’t get to the Bubbles. Or maybe they did and we just never saw them.

I think you could make a case for the most important character in Homestuck being Lil Cal

He is literally described as such by Hussie in the scene where Gamzee’s watching Jade’s tower blow up.

Imagine the Ancestors all being together in one dream bubble since eternity and then all of the sudden Condy pops in

Okay, let’s see… Sufferer and Dolorosa have a loving reunion, as well as Disciple. Psiioniic is so happy to be back with the group and not be forced to be powering a ship. Redglare is a big follower of the Signless, and the Summoner meeting him is great! But then there’s Mindfang, who is with the Summoner, and is despised by Redglare. Darkleer sort of creepily watches from the distance because he knows Mindfang and wants to join in, but if he even gets a step closer Dolorosa and Disciple will tear his Ghost Body apart. Handmaid is watching from the distance with headphones on and giving them the middle finger. Dualscar is trying to get in closer, but the Grand Highblood snatches him up for a round two at trying to be humorous. Redglare thinks this is absolutely hilarious. Condy shows up like ‘wassup’ and High-fives the Highblood on the way into the Bubble, and Handy just like. Squints her eyes from a distance, lights another blunt. Would anyone get along with Condy? Like wow. She’d just be cocky and like “)(A)(, lasted longer than u all suckas, so much revolution 4 nothin”, but they’re already dead so who even cares, it’s not like they can kill her and it’s not like beating her up is going to do much. It’s all just awkward Drama between them.

... That was awesome.

which classpect would be able to give the best General Life Advice? my money's on a seer, but i have no idea what aspect it would fall under.

Seers in general work but it’s so broad of a trait I could see others like Knights and Sylphs also easily doing so.

this is what i get for lettin all proper dudes run shit instead of nasty clowns

38)

Give me the flashing codpiece

God Tier for The With of Blaire? Im kinda curious

She’s the Witch of Blair.

since i saw some touhou asks, can you figure out a classpect for byakuren? she's my favorite character

Oof, I’ve yet to play her game or read her on the wiki already, I don’t know much beyond Subterranean Animism, still gotta get up to date!

How many of the characters notice the narrator? (claiborn is very aware of the narrator and hates his guts.)

Caliborn and Vriska. Meenah talks to him but he’s just a weird orange guy for her rather than the narrator- Vriska interacts directly with the narration so she should know he’s the author, and Caliborn definitely knows that. Jade and John briefly glimpse Hussiebot, but they’re covered up immediately and I don’t think anyone else makes allusion to having met Hussie.

I mean technically English, Scratch and Lil Cal too but like, that enters the ‘Caliborn’ category. Also Slick, Ms. Paint and Arthour but I don’t quite think anyone of them know he’s the author, rather he’s just a weird?

do you think Knights are similar to Bards? because both kinda try to be what they aren't/avoid something they don't want specifically Aspect related

Ehh… With the Bards’ Devotion they do kind of ‘Serve’ what they believe in sort of but not really? It’s very mild overlap I’d say.

Family day so I’ll get to the asks later.
