April 2016

I've been wondering, what happened to Dirk's crown thing?

That’s part of his hood

Where do/did the Ancestors go when they died?

Troll Hell

If I'm not wrong, Yaldabaoth offered Calliborn The Choice to become either a Lord or a Muse. However, Lord is an exclusively Male class, while Muse is exclusively Female. What would happen if he chose to become a Muse?

That’s not the choice he gave him. Caliborn has always been a Lord. The choice he gave to Caliborn was the choice to either sacrificing his life for the power to stop a great force of evil, or to gain immortality and unlimited power to cause destruction, after a series of difficult trials

how grimdark rose came back to life ? (i remember rose fighting and dying against jack noir )

John gave her corpse a smooch

Homestuck fandom, signal boost

babiliicious:

So, Homestuck is ending and I thought on doing somethin cool to thank Hussie for making Homestuck and everything that we passed through this seven years of comic.

On this next 413, share on your social media (all of them, if you want so) a photo of you (with or without cosplay), or a drawing, thanking Hussie for Homestuck. You can use the tag #ThankYouHussie on the post so we can maybe reach him

Please tell all of your friends and let’s make a huge chain of thankfulness to this big comic that brought us a lot of feelings, good times, good friends and other good things

What's so important about 4/13?

That’s the day Homestuck started

I love this blog.

same

How does giving a corpse a smooch revive them exactly?

It wakes up their dreamself

What do you think WV and PM will do with Jade's planet's volcano ?

They’ll throw the rings in and it’ll shoot the genesis tadpole into skaia

w8. if rose revied by smochie then why se god tiered when died on "Green Sun" ? (didnt she used all of the bodies she have? (regular and dreamself))

She used her sacrificial slab

Hey! ^^ I'm pretty sure it says somewhere that Doc Scratch doesn't have genitals or is agendered or something. Confirm/deny? (I think it was during his 'big' conversation with Rose but I can't find it)

I am an immortal entity with a large cue ball for a head, and no biological means of reproduction.

will a7 go up at midnight or at 1pm?

Unknown. I hope it waits until the afternoon though, just as a personal preference

Where did the "Only two pages of Act 7" come from? As in the source? :o

Ipgd, Hussie’s friend mentioned it on 4chan and here as well. 

Will there be only one update tomorrow? Or multiple updates?

Unknown!

WHAT CASINO IS ONE OF THE JACKS TALKING ABOUT.

Mentioned here

what happened to dirk pre-retcon?

Already answered.

Hi sorry to bother, I completely forgot what was the firefly's name and importance?

The firefly’s name is Serenity and they’re a friend of WV’s.

(same anon who is only on act five act two) I didn't have all day to read it. I'm almost done with act five, though. I'm asking how many pages are there after act five, including intermissions and all that stuff?

well lets see, Cascade is mspa page 6009 and in the upd8 we just passed 10025 so, over 4000 pages

Tomorrow is the end of the story. Are you prepared?

not by a long shot

What's the difference between s quest bed and a sacrificial slab

check the faq

wait people are saying act 7 will be posted in three hours???? what?????

Ryan North (friend of Hussie’s) and Paperseverywhere (artist who worked on Collide) both confirmed that Act 7 is updating at midnight. Welovefine tweeted to a follower asking about mspa updating and said 12 pm but then replied again and said that’s when the store is updating, not the website. 

Thank you for all of your extremely hard work with this blog, and the fandoms many, many questions. Truly amazing work. <3 Thank you so much.

Thank you and you’re welcome! 

The update is going to be more than a flash right?

We don’t know!

What happens when John, rose, dave, jade, ect. Go into the red sburb house??

They’ll be in the new universe.

will this blog still be here after the end of the comic?

What happened to GCAT

They were prototyped with Tavrosprite to make Gcatavrosprite

Has LE been defeated?

Nope.

is there any info on what the new universe will be like? like will it be when planets are still forming or when there are living creaters throughout the cosmos

It’s Universe C, where Calliope and Caliborn lived. 

Did they ever mention why Caliborn adopted the name English?

Yes

Do we know where Meenah is at the moment?

Last seen fighting Lord English.

Is there always a specific reason for the horrible things Vriska did? Why did she blind Terezi, and why did she break Tavros' legs?

She’s a huge 8itch.

I've never sent you guys an ask but I want to say I appreciate everything you've done and I enjoy reading your replies X3

Thank you! We’re glad you appreciate the blog. 

What is going to happen to the dream bubbles?

Lord English is fighting the ghost army and Alt Calliope is about to do something with the Green Sun. 

What was that whole thing about w Rose writing the code MEOW and john drawing shit on his walls

not long from the final upd8 (comparatively). T and A, you got a favorite pesterlogue/flash/panel?

My favorite flash is [S] Caliborn: Enter. Once I saw Caliborn all blood splattered and his cane switched to the AK-47 I knew he was my favorite. 

UPD8

Homestuck the Anime is canon

Act 7, to my understanding

cancerously:

- Rings are thrown in volcano. This kickstarts the production of the new Genesis Frog.

- With the conditions for the new universe met by Echidna, the new tadpole begins to take root in the kid’s original Skaia, as shrunk, held, and then released by Jade. It travels to the center of the hole that John carved out when he extracted The Tumor, which was stopping the kid’s genesis frog from taking root. The Frog emerges, fully grown, and creates a complete new universe.

- Alt Calliope, meanwhile, destroys the Cherub’s Green Sun, and uses it’s power to create a massive, massive black hole, to destroy the old universe into the void, along with herself.

- Vriska, during the fight, deploys Caliborn’s juju, and opens it up. This creates a stable time loop that releases the kids, when they were captured by Caliborn, allowing their beings not to be tied to this universe. This switches the door they are standing in front of to the door to the new universe.

- John opens the door- through his touching the handle, everyone from their session was transported to the new Universe. Yes, everyone. Your favs are fine. (Gamzee might be there too).

- Once in the new Universe, Jade deploys Roxy’s Earth, which was the culmination of their plan- to terraform and live on that with their friends and the carapaces.

- When Lord English attacks the Juju, the door opens- on the other side. Lord English is now trapped inside.

- Using the power of the Green Sun, Alt Calliope destroys the old universe. She and everything else is gone. However, Caliborn destroying the clock means he is unkillable- and the juju is indestructible. So in the old universe, sealed in his own juju, exists Lord English. Forever quarantined to the unknowing void, floating through space.

- The last thing we see, when the kids enter, is an unprototyped kernelsprite, which signifies the circular nature of Homestuck- the “new game plus” if you will. That SBURB will return, somehow, to this new universe, and it will all begin again, eventually.

and that’s my thoughts on the matter thanks to @purplebloodedmajesty for setting this out and talking to me abt it

EDIT: please also refer to bilious-slick’s post that presents a slightly different ending but abt the same

I know you're probably getting a ton of asks but how come calliborne breaks his clock and becomes LE with flashing eyes in ACT 7 [S] if theres calliborne's masterpiece explaining how dirk made lord english with the culmination of characters.

He had flashing eyes in the masterpiece. Breaking the clock is what gave them to him, but he’s still Caliborn in every other regard.

Who were the players who won the game? (John's group. I want to draw a picture with that group but I don't have enough free time in my day to additionally watch to find out. Thanks!)

All the kids technically.

What was the point of the army if all they needed was the juju to beat LE?

To get his attention.

Literally Everyone: Well what versions of the kids fought Caliborn?

Me: The ones we see. John literally said this to Roxy:

Wait so hussie said there might be more of homestuck??

Yes.To everyone complaining about all the loose ends:

There will be a fucking epilogue, holy shit stop complaining

how did you feel about the ending?

I loved it. It was gorgeous, I cried. I don’t care that it left plot point unresolved, Homestuck has always been a vague comic, preferring to leave things to reader interpretation. Such as character races, sexalities, whether Gamzee is an asshole or a puppet, whether Vriska is a good or bad person, etc.

Hussie said we’ll get an epilogue which will probably tie whatever is left together. But in till then I’m just gonna appreciate the beautiful flash and then maybe deny that Homestuck is actually over, we’ll see.

Were the dream bubbles destroyed?

Presumably

sorry i know you must be getting a lot of these right now, but my question is, WHEN did the kids of this timeline go and fight lord english? chronologically speaking, when did the claymation story of the eight kids getting trapped in the juju happen (in relation to the fight with L.E. and the creation of the new universe?)

I don’t know, couldn’t have been too terribly long after they won

Thank you Hussie, for creating an epic, for creating a community. You’ve given me a place I feel I belong, you’ve given me characters I can relate to, , you’ve made me laugh and cry more times than I can count. Thank you Hussie, for creating an expansive universe with unique mechanics.
Homestuck has shaped the last four years of my life and has forever changed me as a person. I’m so sad to see the story I care so deeply for end.
But I recognize that it’s a new beginning for you too, and that no matter what project you decide to move onto next, I’ll be right behind you, waiting patiently to see what your brilliant mind comes up with and giving you my support.
No other story will ever make me feel the way Homestuck has.
Thank you for all your dedication and hard work Hussie.

Sincerely yours, Toni of forgottenhsfacts.

So after this we're getting hiveswap, homestuck 2.0, and an epilogue, right? Have any of those been ex-nayed or am I missing any or smth?

We have no idea if Homestuck 2.0 is a thing, presumably it’s a thing, but even if it is a thing, it might not even be Homestuck related. Just referred to as Homestuck 2.0 to indicate Hussie’s next big thing.

What happened to the living sprites, like davepetasprite and gcatavrosprite??

Speculatively, I assume they couldn’t enter and had to stay behind and might possibly have been killed, but I don’t know. Stay tuned for the epilogue to find out.

Before, you guys had mentioned believing in a multi-Caliborn theory, that alpha!Caliborn and art!Caliborn were two different beings. So has this been proven false by Act 7?

Pretty much, yeah
