Forgotten Homestuck Facts

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

Anonymous

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

Who has the most Strife Specubi? Also do you think it's going to be stated or implied John gives Rose her Needlekind back? Maybe she doesn't need it?

John, Dirk and Equius all have three.

Equius has Fistkind, Bowkind, and Halfbowkind.

Dirk has Bladekind, Puppetkind, and Fncysntakind

John has Hammerkind, Bunnykind, and Needlekind.

John didn’t give Rose her Needlekind as she’s seen using it before she interacts with him in the Post-retconned timeline. So either she made a new one or gained enough tiers so that she doesn’t need a specibus to use a weapon anymore.

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.

If it was stated that once you choose the strife specibus it becomes permanent, how come some players have more than one?.

A strife specibus is just a card and once a weapon is assigned to it it can’t be changed, but if you get a different specibus card you can assign a different weapon to it. Like how John found a bunnykind card and then could use stuffed bunnies as a weapon.

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.

If davesprite is dead, is he in the dreambubbles?

transguyhawkeye

He does seem to be dead, and Davesprite himself wouldn’t be in the dreambubbles but the Dave that became Davesprite would be.

The wings aren't removable so much as they can be hidden under their clothes. Gamzees came off because they were fake

quadpen

Right, yeah, my bad, you’re right.

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.
