Forgotten Homestuck Facts

If ectobabies are only made pre-scratch, why does Karkat mention creating them?

The pre-scratch troll session didn’t make the babies and that was one of the reasons they were destined to fail. Doc Scratch said that having the babies made post-scratch is a rare circumstance.

I noticed that one question an anon asked about Gamzee hitting on Tavros...I don't remember that, but my memory isn't the greatest anyway, would you mind giving me the page where that was stated or shown?

Here’s one.

Not sure if this is the sort of thing you deal with, but page 4243 is really confusing. Eridan is talking to Kanaya about getting her to auspisticize between him and Vriska, without using her name at all during the conversation. Then, somehow, Kanaya says, "Its Unbelievable, Her Patience" and is referring to Feferi. How do they both suddenly know exactly which "her" they're talking about? I see nothing to suggest it's not Vriska until moiraillegiance is mentioned.

This is kind of weird to explain so sorry if this doesn’t make sense.

Eridan was annoying Kanaya so Kanaya was “It’s Unbelievable, Her Patience” . Obviously this was referring to someone who spent a lot of time with Eridan. Feferi was the only one that spent and large amount of time with Eridan and at the time Feferi and Eridan were moirails. It took Eridan a second to realize she was talking about Fef, it was a natural connection.

Overall it fits the natural flow of an average conversation. If you had a conversation like it in real life you’d probably know who the other person was talking about right away just like how Eridan knew Kanaya was talking about Feferi.

I heard that it was mentioned that Gamzee always had red feelings for Tavros and hit on him several times. Is this true?

Yes

How did Dave and Rose die on their Sacrificial Slabs?

A bomb exploded them to death in [S] Cascade

So who did Gamzee kill on the asteroid and which of them are still confirmed to be dead in the retcon timeline?

Equius and Nepeta.

Aren't the Ancestors drawn with very few details to emphasize the fact a lot about them are unknown and their stories are extremely ancient and thus quite forgotten ?

I’m not sure if that’s the reason but it’s definitely an effect probably intended by Hussie

I'd just like to confirm, but Patron Trolls are chosen from who they like, and not from numbers and birthday codes, right? There's a lot of people who I know keep on trying to convince me that it's based on birthday numbers and dates, or by the other way that determines the dream planet and character.

In the story the patron troll was the one the Beta kids talked to the most/got the most help from.

Fandom-wise, there are several ways to find a patron troll, all of which are fine. There is no right way to pick a patron troll.

You know how like all of the images of the ancestors and how they all have pitch black skin? Does this mean that the older trolls get the darker their skin gets...?

No, the ancestors are drawn so that they have very little details shown. Kinda like how the kids’ guardians are all blank white with very little detail.

But if you’d like to headcanon that trolls’ skin gets darker with age that’s totally cool and up to you

You've mentioned Terezi keeping her glasses on in the Tavros scene a lot lately, but the panel in MURD3R shows her without them regardless. Do you think Gam got them anyway? Sauce: /?s=6&p=009213

As you can see four pages later, she is wearing them again.
