Forgotten Homestuck Facts

did we ever see what "don't turn your back on the bodies" meant? I don't remember it becoming relevant.

Every time someone turned their back on the bodies the body would disappear.

They would either come back to life or their corpse would be taken.

Did Mindfang actually rape Dolorosa? I knew that Mindfang mind controlled her to make Dualscar jealous, but someone told me that much more awful things took place, but I'm not sure if it's true

It’s not 100% confirmed that it was the Dolorosa. Mindfang definitely mind-controlled the slave to do sexy stuff to her, so at the very least its sexual assault, we don’t actually know how much she made the slave do so whether it was rape or not it debatable

So I'm confused. The new universe where the kids are living, the one where the kids are now the benevolent gods of. That's the planet that eventually becomes Caliborn and Calliope's home planet? Does that mean John and friends all die by the time the Cals are hatched there????

That or they either move to another planet.

Why did karkat forbid the trolls to go to sleep on the meteor? (I understand that prospit was destroyed, but what about dream bubbles?)

Anonymous

A: Eveyone’s dreamself was dead and he didn’t know what would happen if they went to sleep

B: The comfy dream bubbles Feferi had made for them didn’t exist yet so when they’d go to sleep their “dream phantom” would pop up in the a random dream bubble and you get shit like [S] Jade: Wake Up

do you answer hiveswap asks too? what's your opinion on the tetrach?

I do, and i discussed my thoughts on Dammek here

how did calliope have a dream self if she never officially entered the game?

Anonymous

She needed to have one so that Caliborn could kill her and predominate early.

If she didn’t have a dreamself then Caliborn wouldn’t have been able to do that, then Callie would be able to play the game but in order to play the game you need a dreamself so she’d have a dreamself for Caliborn to kill, etc etc

Basically, Plot Reasons

In regards to that poster talking about Doc Scratch's life/death and doomed timelines, I feel like it should be clarified: Game Over is not a doomed timeline. Everybody dying and the kids failing was LE's plan for the alpha timeline all along, even with Aranea's interference. Death and failure is not exclusive to doomed timelines.

Except it was a doomed timeline because if the kids didn’t succeed in creating Universe C then the Cali twins wouldn’t have been born and LE wouldn’t have been able to exist
I’ll just point out that it WAS doomed, but by the virtue of Aranea stealing the ring.

You cannot contact people in other universes if your timeline is doomed (see the first instance of doomed timelines) and there was definitely contact between Alphas and cherubs in pre-retcon universe.
Cherubs could have become a thing pre-retcon if John stopped at retrieving the ring. They were a thing pre-retcon, Universe C could have been hatched after GO. But John chose to save the team.

You’re right about characters in a doomed timeline not being able to contact others in different universes.
But the timeline didn’t become doomed until Aranea came back and started messing with stuff, between that point and everyone dying nobody contacted or was contacted by the cherubs.

is daves middle name elizabeth?? or was that just a fandom thing?
