Since when does Caliborn only exist post retcon? I thought he was present before that

Caliborn is from the future of the Alpha kids’ timeline, his existence is dependent on them creating a new universe explained by Aranea here.  In the Pre-retcon Game Over timeline everyone dies and they never create a new universe so Caliborn never hatches.  And yes he was present early in the story before the retcon happened but he was always in the far off future.

What happened to the other Great Weapons Li'l Seb was carrying? (The Needles of Zillywair and what not.) I know they were created by the Tricksters, but what happened to the specific three that were being carried with the Warhammer by the bunny?

You mean Liv Tyler (different bunny) the one given to John that had the warhammer of zillyhoo.  The other three weapons it had weren’t trickster weapons

hey so i was wondering, with vriska keeping gamzee at bay now and doing all of the time traveling, does that mean that nobody was around to raise caliborn and calliope? or is this something that is unanswered and needs explaining now

Gamzee will still get it done.  Caliborn only exists post-retcon so everything that’s happened to him wasn’t effected by the retcon.

Why was Feferi easily killed and Gamzee was waaay harder cause fef is the highest of the high bloods. Is it the clown thing?!

Feferi was hit with a highly concentrated Hope powered blast.  While Gamzee is usually just hit with bullets or knives which don’t cause nearly the same amount of damage.  Also he’s a clown and you can’t keep down the clown.

Question... What is currently happening in homestuck? I'm confused about the updates.

The meteor crew rescued Jake, Jade and Jane from the Condesce.  And now they’re waiting for Arquiusprite to free Jane from her tieratop before they go over battle plans so they’re taking this brief moment of down time to just talk with each other.

Apologies if this has been asked a 100 times already, but has the four letter first name thing for the humans ever been explained, or is it just apart of the 413 thing?

Yes.  The kids’ first names are 4 letters long and their last names are either 6 or 7 letters.  6+7=13   The human naming scheme is a reference to the arch-number of homestuck 413.  Similar to how at the beginning of the story it was about 4 13-year old kids.

Are bulges canon?

Anonymous

What exactly are you asking?  If you’re asking if trolls have bone bulges then yes, it’s been referenced many times.  But if you’re asking if troll bulges are the little tentacle doodad seen so often in fanart, then no, that’s not canon.

in act intermission 2 how did feferi and eridan get on the meteor?

The meteor was passing through a dreambubble.  Those were dead Eridan and Feferis.

What's gog and jegus?

Anonymous

Jegus was a typo made by Dave here, fans in their bucket phase use it all the time and have the characters say it frequently in comics even though Jegus has only been used 18 times in canon, 4 times by Vriska and Karkat, 3 times by John, Dave and Terezi and once by Feferi.

Gog has a similar story only drawn even more out of proportion as it’s only used 3 times in the story, twice by Terezi and once by Dave

If the troll session was one session all along, why was it still implied in early Act 5 that the teams were working against each other?

They thought that they were going to be playing separate sessions and competing with one another.  But surprise, they had to work together.
