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

“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?

612 hours, so 25 and a half days.

Okay another question. Can you give a timeline of Jade's grandfather? I get he was an adventurer, but this is just ridiculous.

it-makes-me-glad-im-not-you-dea

Okay, so he landed and grew up with Nanna and eventually left home and became an adventurer.  When “Betty Crocker” left she left the company to him so he became rich.  In the future he finds the island and the tech there which would allow for Sburb to be created.  He uses the teleporters there to go to the medium but since the incipishere doesn’t actually exist until the game is started he is moved to the future.  There he saves John, eventually picks up Dad Egbert and Mom Lalonde on his battleship and brought them to some ruins on Skaia and picked up Jade’s dead dreamself body.  He then goes back to Earth, stuffs Jade’s body and puts it in the attic.  Eventually he leaves to go get the infant Jade and bring her back to the island.  Baby Jade was playing with a pistol and accidentally fired it.  Tavros, assuming Grandpa was a strange lusus that was going to hurt Jade made Bec teleport the bullet so that it hit Grandpa and he died. Jade stuffed him and years later he was going to be prototyped into Jade’s sprite but Bec teleported his remains to outer space.

Keep up the awesome work!

Thanks! I do my best.

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)

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.  

How did Gamzee end up with the War Hammer of Zillyhoo? My brother asked and I drew a complete blank. XD

I dunno to be honest, that paradox isn’t closed yet.

Probably.

Who is your favorite troll and why?

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
