I think the ask about the sprites not having noses, I think the asker meant that when characters are drawn in their sprite form (as opposed to in Hero Mode, Hussnasty Mode, or by the Art team [which by the way the screenshot you replied with was]) they don't have noses or arms.

I know, I realized that as soon as I answered it.  Hussie draws the sprites in an as minimalist style as possible to allow the reader to interpret how the character actually looks.

The Sacrificial Slabs located in the center of Derse and Prospits’ moons function the same way as Quest Beds but don’t require two lives left.

what is the best thing to say to somebody to try and get them into homestuck?

Anonymous

“Do you like wasting long periods of time?? Do you like intricate, confusing plot points??? Do you hate yourself so much that you’d hate marry yourself if you could???? Do you enjoy lengthy stories that break the typical model of storytelling????? Do you enjoy interactive flash games, beautiful artwork, and never knowing what exactly is doing on?????? Then boy do I have a story for you!”

How long did the beta trolls session last?

Anonymous

612 hours, so 25 and a half days.

Are the alpha kids birthdays the same as the beta guardians? i.e: Bro's birthday and Dirk's being the same? Or Jane and Nanna's, etc? Sorry, I'm confused about this. (The date, not the year of course)

Anonymous

The Alpha kids’s birthdays are the same as their Beta kid counterparts.

Dirk’s is the same as Dave’s

Jane’s is the same as John’s and so forth.

on page 8798, is there any significance to lil seb shaking his head and saying no while john calls caliborn out as lord english

Anonymous

It’s more likely that Lil Seb could be saying don’t fight him or you’re not gonna kick his ass or he was saying no because Caliborn hadn’t done the things John was accusing him of yet.

But knowing this story and all the foreshadowing it’s entirely possibly that Caliborn will end up not being Lord English through some turn of events.

if people playing the game werent born through ecto biology and they did the scratch in the same was the pre-scratch kids did would post-scratch kids show up in the same way

If the players weren’t born through ectobiology then they probably won’t have an option to do the scratch.

Equius cause, idk, he just always has been. 

 He was really under-appreciated when I first got into homestuck so there was like zero art or anything for him, so maybe that was part of the attraction, idk man, he’s just really great, I mean, come on just look at this face

What animals represent the alpha/beta kids? Like Dave's crow.
