HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FINISH HOMESTUCK THERE ARE LIKE 8000 PAGES AND I AM ON PAGE 2000
Anonymous

I’m planning to start rereading in a few weeks because I need to brush up on my facts (might turn it into a fun group activity? we’ll see!) and I’m terrified by it. the last time I actually read all the way through homestuck in one go was my pre-cascade reread :0

have hope, friend! it gets better

i'm a little confused, because dave could time travel as soon as he started the game, but it seems like the others couldn't use their powers until after they achieved god tier? help?

dave couldn’t time travel as soon as he started the game. dave and aradia both got their time travel powers by alchemizing their scratch constructs into smaller pairs of scratch constructs! dave got his timetables from future dave before future dave became davesprite

how does the alpha kids universe exist at all if it was red miled by bec noir?

time shenanigans! the red miles DO show up at the b2 earth eventually, but not until the alpha kids have almost entered their incipisphere. this can be seen in the “caliborn laughs about the alpha kids dying” sequence and the infamous “dirk strider is OP” flashes

how did gamzee get to the alpha universe?

Who decided the pronunciation of the trolls' names???

there are no canon pronunciations really! one time hussie was like “well this is how I say some of them I guess but do whatever you want” which is a VERY hussie thing to do

everybody has their own opinions on stuff but there are certain things that have very concrete pronunciations (for example, peixes, feferi and meenah’s last name, is portugeuse for fish and should be pronounced with a “sh” sound for the x (I’m pretty sure it’s pronounced pay-shez but I’ve also heard pee-shees before))

When Jack releases the red miles on the genesis frog, they come to post-apokalypse earth. But I thought the frog contained the new universe the kids created, and earth is in the old one? (Am I missing something obvious?)

the frog was the universe the trolls created (aka bilious slick, the kids’ universe!)

the kids have yet to be shown creating a universe :0

"AG: Well if you want to know, normally, we have 8right orange eyes, with gray irises. They fill in with our 8lood pigment as we get older." troll irises are gray, not black!
