Is there a reason the beta kid's guardians seemed to know so much of what was happening when the world ended, and/or do you think hiveswap will shine more light on that?

Grandpa Harley owned and Mom Lalonde worked at Skaianet which is the company that made the Sburb Beta so that probably accounts for them.

Dad Egbert didn’t really seem like he knew much and was just good at rolling with the punches.

Bro Strider is an enigma.

This isn't a question but kind of like a fact I just rediscovered: Mindfang didn't dump Dualscar, it was the other way around! So ye a h (Mspaintwiki is my source but you could tell me I'm wrong too. Please do if I am wrong)

orphans do get culled on alternia right? im pretty sure thats canon, but no one else seems to acknowledge it... Vriska says once that if she didnt feed her lusus she'd starve and she would be culled for that so wouldnt that make it canon? or maybe it just applies to her bc spidermom is supposed to be a really hard lusus to deal with... so maybe it only applies to challenging lusi but i feel like whoever came up with alternian culling regulations wouldnt bother making that distinction...

If Vriska didn’t feed her lusus then her lusus would eat her.

Terezi never really had a lusus, and Gamzee’s was never around so I don’t believe orphans are automatically on the cull list

I know this isn't really a question but I haven't read hs in a while so could you make a TL;DR of it???

It’s this webcomic where these kids play a game and their like “holy shit whats going on???” and then the world is destroyed and then some alien dudes that also played the game are like we have to work together to survive because you guys suck and made a really strong bad guy. So then they work together and like rewrite history and spend three years traveling to the new earth that they caused to exist by rewriting history. But then on that Earth there were more kids that then played the same game but the planet wasn’t destroy it was just taken over by two clowns, Guy Fieri and an alien empress and they ended up killing all the people but the planet was still okay except is was flooded. So then everyone meets up in outerspace and are like “we all got to fight these bad guys that are super strong”. Oh yeah, also there’s ghost of all the people that played the game and died and they find some bullshit thing that basically makes one of the kids a fucking consequence-free tardis. And the ghost are like gonna fight the big bad skeleton guy as like this huge army and stuff while the kids and aliens are gonna fight a bunch of other strong bad guys. And then they do! The kids win, but the ghost all die but they get the big bad anyway. After that everyone that still alive goes to the previously flooded Earth but in the future when it’s not flooded and lives happily ever after…


OR DO THEY?????

Could Equius have beaten Gamzee if he wasn't so concerned with caste systems and being dominated?

I like to think so, but sober Gamzee is really STRONG as well so it’d probably have been close.

Does John ever use the barber's best friend or anything that has to do with the umbrellakind strife specibus?

violeterror

Nope! Not outside of him making the thing.

hey, what was with that doomed timeline where karkat didn't send the virus and gamzee like, killed everyone? do you have any details on that?

That’s where the Genetic Code to create Doc Scartch, but there’s not much else known about it

Who is the fastest Homestuck character? Because I am a bit conflicted on this.

Not counting outright telportation,

That’d probably have to be Jade. With her Witch of Space powers combined with her First Guardians abilities she can make things (and presumably herself) go close to lightspeed.

Not counting magic or science powers, probably Dirk or Gamzee, they both have shown decent flash-stepping abilities.

Did davepeta kiss Jade in canon?

A2 is was Sollux that coded the game.

Base code for the game can be found in the Frog Temple.
