what happened to mod lamp?

All the original mods lost interest in running this blog and recruited new mods to take their places, however I was the only one that stuck.

Have you noticed the parallel between Jade's dialogue in the update JADE: i am very much awake! JADE: and i intend to stay that way :) and what Aradia said a while ago?

Yes I did, I love all the parallels in homestuck. 

The other in this upd8 was the exchange between Dave and Dirk, Dave had the same exchange with Davesprite before

Is it only me or do the characters personalities seem different?

I blame the art.

No offense to the guest artists, but it just makes it read differently.

If you die as after going grimdark, does your ghost stay grimdark?

No, we see the Grimdark Rose that died wake up in the dreambubbles in [S] Terezi: Remem8er and she is no longer supposed to be grimdark.

What happened to Aradia? Where is she right now, and what is she doing?

In  one of the panels before [S] Terezi: Remem8er we see her and Sollux meet up with the ghost army

Should I read Homestuck?

Yes, but skip straight to act five for the trolls

There’s a framed picture of Jasper on Rose’s fridge

I don't know if you have answered this already, but has Eridan actually ever said Nyeh or Wweh?

Not in canon, howwevver, Cronus did say Nyeh once

stupid question probably but is arquius alive??? if not what happened to him i mean wasnt he last seen hugging davepeta and everyone was excited because they thought the sprites fused but then according to this update they didnt... so wheres arquius???

He’s around, still very much alive

Do you think Jade will use two paperrollkinds on PM and Bec Noir?

That would be a great call back

"Don't skip the intermission" doesn't mean anything anymore, now that there are like 12 intermissions.

Okay, don’t not skip the intermission kids, skip all like 12 of them, fuck all the intermissions, that’s including the interfishin

What happened to the young Handmaid?

She was raised by the Scratchman himself

I was wondering what had happened to the dead Vriska that was with Meenah. I can't remember exactly what happened. Did she join the ghost army or is she just forgotten about?

She’s with (Terezi) now, as seen in [S] Terezi: Remem8er

why was it fucked up for Dave to hug Dirk???

Because Dave was raised without any physical affection

I'm so confused like why did the omegapause begin with Terezi flying away messaging Vriska, and then Terezi: Remem8er, and then suddenly she was with the Striders? am I missing something in between or?

She was flying to the Strider, we didn’t see her arrive

So correct me if I'm wrong but sprite^2 get all the alternate memories of doomed selves in paradox space. Does this include their grown up counterpart like Bro Dave for davepetasprite^2.

I don’t think so, I think it’s just the memories of each version of themself that was supposed to play the game

Wait so does Cyborg Jack need to be taken out? Like is he on the kids' side, or is he on the "I have no idea what's going on so everyone's gettin an ass beating" side?

More the latter than the prior, he’s kinda a third party in this showdown

do you think it was wise for davepetasprite to actually wake jade up??

The Condesce might be too busy in combat to mind control Jade again. 

how did jake get the weapons for liv tyler from the lotus time capsule?

That is one time loop that hasn’t been closed yet. We still haven’t seen the weapons put into the lotus capsule in the first place. 

what are sollux and aradia doing as of rn

They’re with the ghost army.

Im on anon because I feel stupid asking this but, how exactly does one achieve god tier? Are there circumstances, like, "yeah you would've, but this happened a year ago so, no"

Faq

Where's the panel with the giant horse dildo?

It’s in the walkaround game that Horuss is introduced in. 

How does one truly die as a god tier player?

Answered here. 

what exactly is gamzee's role in the story? i know he is a bad guy and a subjuggulator, but isn't he also some kind of higher being???

Gamzee has plot armor since he’ll eventually become a part of Lord English so nothing can happen to him until that point.

Ok so what was the whole dealy with the guardians being on that ship and how did granpa harley find and taxadermy jade's dreamself if he was dead

Answered here.

He teleported to the Medium and took Dad Egbert and Rose’s mom to the Battlefield and then got Jade’s dead dreamself and took it back through the portals to Earth and had it preserved via taxidermy. 

sorry to be a bother but what is dirks status in the Pre-retcon timeline as he didn't arrive until the fight was over, correct me if im wrong with this tenement please

He was stuck in all the glitches. 

What actually happened on the three year journey?? Was there time shenanigans? I seem to remember rose and Dave on the meteor and jade and John on the ship but apparently that didn't happen?

In the post-retcon timeline Jade was alone for three years since post-retcon John and Davesprite died when Typheus destroyed Lowas. Typheus did this because he knew pre-retcon John would arrive in the new timeline with his Lowas. The only change for the meteor crew was Vriska was alive. 

I hope you have a lovely day! And Ive never asked anything here before, but thank you for being so on top of whats going on and such. :3

Thank you and you’re welcome! 

Besides the main bad guys like Lord English, Condy and Bec Noir. Who else would be considered a villain for the series.

Jack English.  (epilepsy warning for that page)

So, why will Gamzee eventually become a part of Lord English?

He happened to get sucked into Dirk’s spell. 

did we ever find out who sendificated the white frog to jade when she was little?

Not yet. 

For some clarification, while the only difference in post-retcon meteor crew's events was Vriska being alive, her presence did change how the various characters interacted with eachother and, in turn, how events played out by quite a drastic margin. Rose not being an alcoholic, Terezi not ending up in a relationship with Gamzee or Dave, Karkat and Dave getting closer, and I think that's it?

Also Terezi is still blind. 

Horuss mentions he is hoofbeastkin in the third Openbound flash game.

why was aranea mind controlling gamzee, and how long was she controlling him for?

She was controlling him in order to get the Ring of Life, and not very long

how did the red miles reach the alpha kids' universe? does their universe exist within the same genesis frog that the beta kids did? if so, why did everyone have to travel so far through the furthest ring?

Alpha kids’ universe is in the same Genesis Frog as the Beta kids’.

As for why so long, John and Jade were travelling through an alternate dimension at a speed so fast that time slowed down, and The Meteor Crew were travelling through the Furthest Ring where time and space work differently and it’s incredibly difficult to navigate through.

what is caliborn doing in the latest update as of april 1 2016?

He’s getting ready to beat up his denizen

i just asked about the red miles/genesis frog and now i have a similar but related question to replace it; if the alpha kids' universe and the beta kids' universe both exist inside the same frog, why did the beta kids have to travel through the furthest ring to get to the alpha kids' session? shouldnt they have just been traveling within the frog, i guess? sorry im just a little confused haha! thanks :)

Sessions take place outside the Genesis Frog, they weren’t inside the frog when they left or when they arrived.

Is Spades Slick a good guy?

Not really, I’d give him Anti-hero at best, he’s kinda a chaotic neutral

Can your awake self travel to Derse or Prospit to see your dream self?

Yes

So why did Dirk kill himself and make Jake his his severed head in the synchronization? He woke up Jake so he didn't need to be revived via kiss. Did he need to die to wake up as his dreamself? why couldn't he have just gone to sleep?

His dreamself was knocked out, he needed Jake to kiss his head to wake him up so that he could rescue Roxy and Jane and travel back in time via teleporter in order to wake up Jake so he could kiss him.  It’s some paradox bullshit, but it was necessary.

Wait didn't jade spend the time on the meteor with dave sprite? Why did she say she was all alone

Davesprite died early on in the voyage post-retcon

why is gamzee pretending to be god tier?

Because he’s a troll

I recently came to the realization of how much I would hate to be a Prince of Blood.

That’s thinking too negatively. Think of how great that’d be fighting a team, the ability to destroy unity, it’d be really helpful.Or how beneficial it’d be for your team, to destroy using unity, that sounds like it’d improve teamwork.

is there anyone (beside gamzee) who hasnt been mentioned in recent upd8 and might get the spotlight tomorrow? we only have one normal upd8 left before eoa6

We haven’t seen Arquius or the two Nannasprites.

But my guess is the next 18 or however many pages are left are just close ups of Gamzee in the fridge honking

Is "Andrewhusssie" (three S's) Hussies official instagram? They liked a photo of mine and im Rather confused

Nope, only Official twitter account if his is andrewhussie

May one of you wise mods explain to me what a witch of light actually would do?

We don’t take classpect questions but I suggest you take a look at this post.

What is that box that vriska is sitting on?

The juju chest that has the white house juju. 

is it at all possible for karkat to go god tier some time in the following upd8s?

Sorry, he needs a Blood sacrificial slab to do that so no.

Does Sollux have any psychic powers left?

Yes

Could roxy make sacrificial slabs like she made the martiorb?

Unlikely but we don’t know for sure
