Forgotten Homestuck Facts

So idk if I missed this or something but why did Roxy disappear when she put on the ring if it doesn't have any effect on humans?

Anonymous

The Queen’s ring with prototyped orbs has no effect on humans. But the post scratch Queen’s ring is a very distinct type of ring not normally found in Sburb sessions. It is a Ring of Void which is usable by humans.

Sorry, I have a doubt about Null Sessions: how can they exist when in Homestuck we have a single "right timeline" system? For example, why is the pre-scratch trolls' session null? If they didn't succeed, shouldn't it be just a doomed timeline?

Null Sessions can be scratched. Rose also explains that Null Sessions are fairly common here.

What would happen if a sburb/ sgrub player were to die on someone elses quest bed? Like if John died on Dave's quest bed or something.

Then John would be dead.

i finished reading homestuck from beginning to end a while ago and only one thing really bugs me. everything in homestuck with loose ends always makes sense after a while but what about grandpa harley? how is he alive with a flying ship???? and where did he go after the scratch??? this haunts me and for the life of me i cant remember if that was ever resolved or not. how did he manage to stuff jade's dreamself and yet that always existed in the past??? grandpa harely confuses me entirely!!!!!!!

Time in the Medium is not the same as it is on Earth. There are teleporters in the Frog Temple that go to Prospit and Derse. Mind you that the Frog Temple is on the island that Grandpa Harley owns. Therefore he was free to use the teleporters and go between Earth and The Medium at will.

Wait how did Sollux die??

He was killed once by the Vast Glub once and again by overexerting himself moving the meteor to the Green Sun.

What happened with Jade's problem with falling asleep at random times? Did that disappear when she lost her dream self, or..? Ive been wondering about that a lot...

Anonymous

Jade’s narcolepsy was caused by Vriska testing her powers on humans. While Vriska can control trolls she can only make humans fall asleep.

Wait, I'm a bit confused in the "Attempt rare and highly dangerous 5x SHOWDOWN COMBO." Is Sollux deciding between having blackrom-redrom feelings for Gamzee, or is he determining if Cal's in blackrom with him or Redrom?

Sollux had a quadrant vacillation crush on Gamzee. It fits with his duality theme.

I think Bro could have been saved. Why: Dave and Bro both had a copy of SBURB, but Dave ruined his and used Bro's copy (the one he got after their strife). So if Dave didn't spill aj on his copy, do you think Bro would have played and still be alive? (I told a friend this but she said,"Nah, Bro just would have done whatever the hell he wanted.")

Dave needed to lose his copy so that DD could steal it and eventually put it in the lotus time capsule which would send it back in time so that Jade could get the disks and play the game. So if Bro could have been saved, that’s not the way it would have happened.

wait sorry i'm really dumb and this concept has confused me, how is it that only john and karkat have to do ectobiology? how did the baby meteors exist in the other universes without john/karkat's creating them? is it just skaia's portals, carrying the babies to a different game session from the original one?

Anonymous

When a scratch is initiated Skaia changes the portals that the babies go through so the babies only need to be created once.

What's the significance of the number 612?

Anonymous

It’s the arc number for Hivebent. Like how 413 is the number for the Beta kids.
