I just want to know if there's anything in favor of Gamzee, or if he's just an antagonist and nothing more in canon.

Much like the trolls on the Alternia of old, I fear to speak in any regards about one so aggressive and high up on the spectrum.

But here’s his wiki page so you can read up on him yourself

You answered an ask about how the ancestors (besides signless) showed their classpect but you didn't include the disciple. I don't wanna be rude I just want to ask if she did at all or not?

Oh oops, I just forgot her.

Disciple- Mage of Heart: Mage’s abilities are highly speculator but for Heart (Soul) she resonated well with the Signless’s soul with them having a relationship that went beyond the quadrants. She also made the Signless’s soul stayed alive after his death by recording his teachings so they would one day be able to be spread again.

Doc Scratch said that the Alpha Timeline was the timeline uniquely containing his birth and death. Since we've already seen both his birth and his death, how is, e.g., the Game Over timeline somehow not contain them? (This logic seems like it should hold for ANY doomed timeline which diverges after we see Doc Scratch's birth and death -- and thus which we know must contain them, right?)

It’s likely similar to how the trolls couldn’t talk to the kids in their doomed timelines. So that if any doomed timelines occur he is no longer able to interact with them and characters in it can not interact with him.

Once we get to the likes of GAME OVER though, retcon abilities start coming into place which ignore predetermines rules of Space and Time so shrug.png

Can you explain in detail why Gamzee went crazy? Like I still don't get it and I don't really believe it was as simple as "he ran out of slime and got mad at ICP"

I’m sorry my sweet precious anon, but I am not touching that with a 1025 foot pole, it’s very subjective and up to reader interpretation.

The anon wondering about Dirk implying to Jane that she was related to Jake; I believe they're thinking of Dirk's explanation of the future to Jake, wherein he explains the Condesce's past and Grandma English and Dirk hints to Jake about connecting his grandma's brother who inherited the company to being Poppop Crocker, but Jake is simply too dense. No biological relation, only adopted. (page 6758)

Which page does karkat refer to troll vaginas as seed flaps?

I don’t know that it refers to vaginas but he uses it here

How did Mindfang benefit from seeing into the cueball? Like what did that do?

She saw that she would be apart of the Summoner’s cause, the future of an adult-less Alternia as well as her own death. It had a great impact on her.

Like I'm not trying to be a jerk but this presentation is not factual, it is inaccurate and outdated. My honest opinion is that you're doing more harm than good to anyone's understanding of homestuck at this point and I'd be remiss not to say so.

I’m a deeply flawed human being, I’m gonna get stuff wrong sometimes. If you notice it you can feel free to politely point it out and I’ll correct myself

What factors turned the original timeline (the one that starts the comic) to be doomed?

the idea that pages are passive is based on nothing. Also presenting Dirk as overbearing is massively simplistic and feeds into people conflating him and AR. This all also heavily understates Jakes complicity in fucking stuff up, like how he knew for a fact that Jane liked him because Roxy told him like, twice beforehand and then lied to her about it. Or how Jake treated gayness like a bad thing at 13 and knew it prob messed with Dirks head but, again, did nothing about it.

obviously it’s way more complicated than what I said, that’s why I put  “ to say the least.” at the end
