Forgotten Homestuck Facts

Hopefully this counts as a decent question; Why is the bard so often considered a "Wildcard class" couldnt it just be considered that Gamzee really gets around?

Anonymous

It’s because you never know if the Bard’s powers will help or hinder his group.

IS SBURB/SGRUB in anyway distributable in the mass market in any of the universes? If so, does it cost more than or the same as any other PC game made in 2009?

The game never actually comes out in bulk.

The Beta kids played a pre-released Beta version of the game.

Sollux programmed Sgrub for the post-scratch trolls

and the Alpha kids played a pre-release Alpha version of the game.

what did Doc Scratch mean when he told KK to not turn his back on the body?

Because if Karkat looked away the bodies would go missing, which they did since Gamzee stole them.

do we have any proof that Equius is actually dead in the new timeline? We only saw Nepeta's body and all of the horse puns insinuate him. I'm quoting some below because anon doesn't let me do links: JANE: The tilt between the friendly and felonious was a true horse race again. A real barn burner in the brewing. JANE: Yes, there'd still be hell to pay after Jade and I made our exit, sure as sugar cubes.

Hussie made the horse puns to make us think Equius would still be alive and showed the “leader” in a silohette with a question mark to allude to Equius’s Void aspect. But Hussie wanted us to think that so Vriska(Vriska) being the one to return would be a bigger shock.

How many pages are there in homestuck

why-thank-you

There are currently 7405 pages.

Ok, quick question: why do unsuccessful sessions exist? If the players do something wrong (like leaving the sprites unprototyped, losing to the Black King or fucking up in general), shouldn't that be just another doomed timeline? By extention, every session should bring to the creation of a new universe if the alpha timeline is followed, no?

The Alpha timeline includes failed sessions. They fail because they are meant to.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but if every game session requires one Time player and one Space player, then why is that not the case for the Alpha kids session?

The Alpha kid session was meant to be an 8-players session. Once the Beta kids arrived Jade and Dave became their Time and Space players.

so in a6i5 john sticks his hand into the juju and his hand is scattered about everywhere, it shows examples of it in past panels but are those actually there?

Yes, if you go back to those panels the hands will be there. This is the first retconning done in the series.

So forgive me if I am wrong, but the point of Sburb/Sgrub is to create a universe right? So that would mean the trolls are done with their game, meaning they should be able to populate their universe with humans, the humans being John, Rose, Dave, and Jade. Than they sort of cheated by creating the scratch and made the pre-scratch kids, who are apparently relatives to the Beta kids, so up at this point The Trolls have beaten the game, they created the new universe, populated it with humans, then the Humans cheated and created half-universe based off of their universe, which is why its so similar to their session. Then the Alpha kids were created, and that is homestuck up to this point? Once again sorry for sending this through fanmail, this was too large for the askbox to handle.

The trolls beat the game but they never got to claim their prize because Bec Noir destroyed the door.

And the Beta kids didn’t create a new universe. The Scratch changes the universe, it doesn’t make a new one.

Hey, IIRC Liv Tyler was sent in the green box to protect John when he most needed it from Jack, but also in the flash [s] Jack: ascend we see Jack use the green box to kill the black queen to get his powers. Does this mean that if Jade never sent the green box the session would have went smoothly, as Jack would have never ascended?

But if it wasn’t for Liv Tyler taking the tumor to Derse, Dave and Rose wouldn’t have been able to paradoxically created the Green Sun and if the Green Sun didn’t exist then Bec wouldn’t have existed which means he wouldn’t have lead Jade to John’s gift which lead to her befriending John. And if she never befriended John and the others she wouldn’t have been able to play the game.
