Forgotten Homestuck Facts

John actually has a fourth strife specibus in umbrellakind.

Anonymous

He found the umbrellakind but he never picked it up. At least that we’ve seen. When he made am umbrella weapon he said:

It suddenly seems worthwhile to you to go nab that UMBRELLAKIND STRIFE SPECIBUS that’s been lying in the study for a while.

But we never saw him go back for it.

I started rereading Homestuck and I'm at the first Intermission. And there is this scene where Die pushes Spade Slick's pin into his doll. This allows Die to jump to the moment when Spades died. But instead, he jumps to Alternia(?) and it says "How many times does he have to tell you. He made this town." I'm confused. How does Die appearing in Alternia(?) prove that Spades made the town?

Spade Slick founded Midnight City on post-Sgrub Alternia. When Die teleported to a timeline where Slick died and the city wasn’t there it proved that Slick did in fact “make the town”. Slick is alive, the town exists. Slick is dead, the town doesn’t exist. Therefore for the city to exist, Spades Slick had to be alive to make it.

I didn't think the beta kids handles were based on DNA...I think it's just the alpha kids and the post-scratch trolls

The Alpha kids and Beta kids’ chumhandles are literally the same letters.

Jane and Jade are both GG
Dirk and Rose are both TT
Dave and Roxy are both TG
Jake and John’s old one are GT

for devices like the skulltop and whatever jane was using on page ?s=6&p=007423 do they use their minds to control the device and type on pesterchum or is it like phone calls because jake was able to cut jane off in the middle of the word "tomorrow" (GG: Actually, why don't we just talk about it tomor- GT: Okay we can talk about that if you insist.) but then later jake said she was going heavy on the caps and it made it seem like shouting. very confused o_O

My guess in that situation is that with Jane’s headset probably worked by her speaking into it and it converts that into text and it reads the replies to her. And Jake’s skulltop might convert speech into text but not text into speak so he still reads the messages. This way they’re conversing in real time giving Jake the ability to cut Jane off and to not know that she is shouting at him.

wasnt there a scene where rose rode on an ogre down a river or whatever, and then roxy's mom (also rose) rode on guy fieri down a river too?

Is the vriska in this current timeline god tier? I'm very confused about how she was/became god tier on the meteor with all the trolls and I don't remember how it all happened... It wouldn't make sense for her to be God tier right now though because she's just wearing her normal outfit I'm v confused pls help owo

She ascended in [S] Make her Pay. And they don’t have to stay in their god tier outfits, this isn’t the first time she put her normal clothes back on.

whatever happened to Dirk during the aftermath of [s] Game Over, when he and John were floating around in the debris? and does that have anything to do with why he hasn't been in any of the updates since Caliborn's claymation clips?

Anonymous

After Game Over Dirk was overcome by a mass of stardust.

But that doesn’t have anything to do with why he isn’t in the upd8s. He isn’t around because Jade teleported him outside the incipisphere and he’s currently flying back.

DaveKat is not canon, said by Karkat himself I quote: " NO NO NO NO NO NO NO" - Karkat Vantas

A. Karkat could be embarrassed to tell John about his relationship with Dave, it’s not outside his character to do something like that.

B. Davekat could be pale, they obviously are very close and Dave was able to calm Karkat down pretty well.

C. Or they could just be buds, whatever

Either way yesterday’s upd8 didn’t disprove anything.

What happens after a sprite explodes ?

It’s gone. In Tavris and Fefeta’s case their ghosts returned to the dreambubbles.

how did jade get her dog ears?

Anonymous

She prototyped her dreamself with Bec so when she ascended she became her dreamself who after being prototyped was part dog.
