Forgotten Homestuck Facts

why did Equius prototype Dirk’s kernelsprite? and why did Dirk decide to prototype AR?

Anonymous

In the pre retcon timeline Gamzee was the one who prototyped Equius behind Dirk’s back and Dirk just decided to prototype AR for the second tier because he promised he would. In the post retcon timeline Vriska was the one to prototype Equius.

How did the beta and alpha kids get troll bodies to prototype their kernels with?

They were preserved in the refrigerator seen here.

is there actually any difference physically between the sburb alpha and the sburb beta, or is that more cosmetic in nature?

I’m pretty sure there’s no difference.

where is nanasprite?

She arrived on Jade’s yellow prospit ship but she’s not around currently.

not a question, but i just wanted to say that your jade profile pic is adorable.

Thank you, it’s been that for about three years I think, long before my time as a mod. I do remember that it was changed to Jade because she used to forget things in the beginning of the story.

so this has been bothering me: why are the PRE scratch trolls called the "alpha trolls" but the POST scratch kids are the "alpha kids?"

It’s based on the version of the game they played. Pre-scratch kids played the Sburb Beta and the post-scratch kids played the Sburb Alpha.

in response to something mod t said in a previous answer, how /do/ you effectively use the search and log function on the mspa website??

You pick a keyword and Ctrl+F that son of a bitch until you find a source or explanation or whatever the hell you’re looking for. You also have to factor in quirks so you might need to search it in the quirk.
