is it a requirement for sburb players to be ecto-kids?

Nope, the Cali twins weren’t

Is Dad's ridiculous strength because he's half ecto-godling, or was it just because he was manly?

Anonymous

I wouldn’t call it “manly” as both Dad’s had the expectation that John and Jane would eventually be able to do the same thing, leaving notes to them under heavy objects.

The source of his strength is more likely due to how much he whisks cake batter than it is from being half ecto child.

so... my friend INSISTS that troll horns have some weirdly sexual purpose, and keeps claiming "the whole fandom knows this". is there ANY evidence or implication for this in canon or is he full of shit?

That’s fanon. I’m pretty sure that got started by the hordes of Hetalia fans that hopped onto the Homestuck ship back in the day since Erogeonous Zones are kinda a thing in that series.  

Could Jake/Grandpa's attraction to blue ladies have anything to do with ghost Nana being blue?

Unlikely since he was collecting blue ladies long before Nannasprite existed

I'm confused about the Dirk: Synchronize flash. I was told that Jake kissed Dirk's severed head to wake Derse!Dirk up, but Derse!Dirk was the one to wake Jake up to kiss his severed head. What was the point if Dirk was already awake?

Time shenanigans. Dirk had to wake up Jake so Jake could wake up Dirk so Dirk could wake up Jake

Is it true that what's only truly canon is straight from Hussie? Like there's that discourse on Joey's sexuality, and some of the dev team decided to weigh in on the situation on twitter. Idk, I'm always confused.

Yeah, true canon comes either in the story or straight from the Hussie’s mouth. Anyone else is just stating headcanon.

in hiveswap, would it be considered a prequel or a sequel of homestuck? (i didnt notice a mention of specific year in the game, but im still assuming its a prequel?)

Anonymous

It’s set in 1994 (it mentions that several times in game not sure how you missed it) so technically it’s a prequel

Are we sure that the Roxy in hiweswap is the same Roxy we meet in homestuck? If so did she babysit Jude & Joey before or after playing the game?

Anonymous

Roxy from B1 as in Mom Lalonde, not Roxy from B2, the one we met in Act 6 

Then does that mean Joey and Jude's nanny is mom Lalonde???

Anonymous

Yeah, Mom Lalonde is their babysitter

Canonically Joey and Jude would eventually die in the reckoning right?

Yeah, unless something happens later on in Hiveswap/Hauntswitch
