For me it's the fact that Trolls can't eat onions.

8ut you already knew that, right?

the most obscure fact i know (which is in fact not obscure at all) is that in one page of trickster mode jane, the word caucasian has been replaced by peachy due to controversy

Karkat likes eating chocolate, specifically some kind of chocolate shaped like a beetle or bug. I think they mention him eating these multiple times in the Epilogues and I always wanted to try them as well. I imagined it to be like those chocolate easter bunny's but bug shaped lol.

Homestuck Epilogues

"DAVE: well lets just say internalized whatevers are kind of like an onion

DAVE: theres lots of layers

DAVE: they suck on pizza

DAVE: and trolls have to get their stomach pumped if they eat them

DAVE: this goes for gender stuff too btw

DAVE: which i kinda get the feeling is what you were actually asking about

ROXY: wow am i rly that transparent?"

Uhhh, I know some things regarding someone who was important to homestuck (but to my knowledge has not been active for several years) that I do not wish to state unless absolutely necessary because it would start a lot of drama, and I don't want to look back on that situation. So uhh, I'm gonna say i know of the weird fanventure by the person who made the midnight crew??? I dunno, most of my obscure homestuck knowledge is tied up in stuff I really don't like thinking about.

Hiya. Just a random question, but you know what a majority vote is?

I don't know how obscure this is, but I do know that the 8 player session was seemingly planned by as early as act 3

(page 874)

Hussie saying Gamzee was the only cis person or only cishet in Homestuck. It's from their old tumblr and no idea if it got archived.

Kanya hears "ERROR LOGGED OUT" & looks at Rose who just SAYS "NO 'FORGOT PASSWORD' OPTION" while frowning.

The structure for the chumhandles/trolltags finds its ancestry in the nomenclature for three doll robots, in the unfinished Hussie novel Wizardy Herbert.


The three dolls are named:

- vociFerris

- sonoGraham

- fociDott

The face on Terezi's Caegar is Venus -- Julius's family claimed her as an ancestor for clout and minted coins in her image

generally forgotten by the fandom at large but not really obscure and is low-hanging fruit for ancestorheads: the first ship was a bit about the disciple and the signless' relationship but it was also their actual sailing boat called the First Ship

Obscure because it stopped mattering after we left inventory shenanigans behind — it is actually possible to merge items from two different captchalogue cards in the Sylladex, causing them to occupy a single card and freeing up inventory space in the process. (> John: Combine the nails and hammer.).


The limits of how many items may be crammed onto a single card like this are presently not known, but it is known that trying to merge items from cards that aren’t adjacent to each other causes the items in all the cards between them to also get swept up in the merger — which can make for a very unpleasant mess.

And will we let the fire go out?

Is this the end for them now?

Sunken ship that has long gone down

Will we let the fire go.. out?
