Do you think that any of the "deceased" in this update will be proven otherwise in the next?
Well Jane and Dirk need to be alive for the Caliborn thing shouldn’t stay dead
how did post-retcon vriska get to the dream bubble
She flew there
So uh, this wasn't clear to me, why did Spades drop the Felt on Jake?
Because his last name is English
Just wondering on this update, do you know or have theory on how dave and terezi revived dirk the first time he died? I'm pretty sure that jane was not present during that bit to revive hime
Okay so basically, Dave and Terezi combo move, Terezi found a series of events in which Dirk didn’t get pumped full of lead and Dave time traveled that Dirk in.
Is serenity's name a refrence to Joss Whedon's Firefly?
Yep
why was there two japes fighting the felt?
forgottenhsfacts:
I think he Hoped him into existence.
Actually it was due to Time shenanigans on the side of The Felt
Was that video just the end of act 6? Or was it also what was going to be in act 7?
Just end of Act 6
Isn't the Roxy from tonights upd8 the same Roxy from the Game Over timeline? If so, what happened to the current timeline's Roxy (not the one that came over from the preretcon timeline)?
She got killed by Heiress Jane
So is Dirk like dead-dead? If he is, is there any way for him to come back to life??
Jane hasn’t revived him yet
With HS wrapping up in about a week from now (Im dying thinking about it) will there still be people who like it? Will it all stay posted up or do you think it'll just die out?
It’ll be around for awhile. A story this colossus doesn’t die out.
What is a fraymotif anyway?
They’re essentially combo moves
[S] Collide officially confirmed that Pre-retcon Sollux and Aradia are still alive so that means we have 2 alive
Aradias and Solluxes (solluxii? solluxs?)
Slightly unrelated to Collide: Was it ever explained how the Condensce got to Earth? Like, yeah she flew in her ship but the trolls were in an entirely different universe than the humans, and I'm pretty sure the Incipisphere is in an entirely different dimension, so how is she just showing up in all these places when everyone else has some kind of portal (normally the initial warp into P-Space or a Skaia portal) to explain how they got there?
Really if you can navigate the Furthest Ring you can get anywhere.
Why did the update leave me feeling empty and unsatisfied?
Probably because it wasn’t as badass and epic as you were expecting. It was a lot funnier than I thought it was going to be.
Why was Gamzee crying?
You’d be crying too if you got thrown around a bunch while you were trapped in a box.
This might be a little long, but there's something confusing me after having just read your Lil' Cal timeline. Lil' Cal is "full" (with souls) when he is with John in the ectobiology lab. This means that exact version of Lil' Cal is both sent back with Bro /and/ sent back with Dirk and grows up with both of them (pre/post-scratch). So why is Bro's Full and Dirk's Empty? Shouldn't they both be Full?
Two copies of a juju can’t exist at the same time. So one retained its juju properties and the other lost them.
How was the Condesce related to Alpha!John and Alpha!Jade? As in, how did Jane become the heir to the Crocker empire? btw you're doing a really good job answering questions as homestuck ending date is nearing!!! i bet you're getting a flood of asks and even with stuff I thought I knew I'm glad I have reminders on my dash.
Condesce adopted Poppop and Grandma English, just like she did pre-scratch with Nanna and Grandpa Harley.
Why is Jade still the worst human/character in homestuck?
She isn’t?
Actually cask is emptied of Lord English once Doc Scratch is made. The empty husk is sent with Dirk to be filed, sent to the void, and then voodoomajik'd into Dave's head.
No, the Lil Cal used to make the good scratch doctor ends up with Gamzee and is the one he gives to B2 Jack Noir that turns him into Lord Jack
Do you think now PM is gonna turn out evil?
Nah, her hate for Noir was just stronger for Bec’s love for Jade
i have a question about the kids trapped in the juju. are those kids from a different game time line? or are they the kids from the pre-retcon or retcon timeline?
Should be the current timeline, just in the future
Okay, guys, but now we have to imagine how Ms Paint will react when she learns Slick is dead.
was karkat crying in the flash because he'd been left behind in the battle or because clover had kicked him in the stomach
My interpretation is that he was crying because he was only fighting one guy, the smallest guy, and still losing. Karkat has a serious inferiority complex and he was probably thinking about how useless he was and how he couldn’t help any of his friends.
What exactly was jade doing in Collide?
Trying to keep the peace
Do we know Meenah's classpect?
Thief of Life
how did it confirm that pre-retcon aradia/sollux were around? they werent retconned at all, so wouldnt it just be aradia and sollux?
At the beginning of [s] Collide we see Aradia with a Sollux wearing two eyepatches which means he’s 100% alive, this is the pair form pre-retcon.
While in the Vriskagram flash we see an Aradia and a half-dead Sollux which is post-retcon. There fore there are two of each.
Isn't there still a non-rose Jaspers?
Yes, he’s around somewhere
I didn't really get what Rose did with her powers in the fight...
Rose’s powers are all about support and guidance. She helped Roxy conjure the Wizord statue and she guided the winds and what not in their fraymotifs
did the Condensce marry colonel Sassacre twice? there was a batter witch on both alpha and beta earth but the Condensce never went through any paradox split things did she? did she just abscond from the first earth before the meteors and go off to the second to marry him all over again???
Presumably that’s what happened, she just loved his humor so much
are there any ancestors left? or was condesce the last? i couldve sworn that psiionic, tho barely, was still alive
Nope, they all dead now
Does anybody know how long act 7 will be?
1 flash, just like Act 6 Act 4
What exactly is up with Sollux? His deaths got confusing.
Yeah they are and we never get an explanation for how they work. But basically, Sollux died early on, and then he died again getting the Meteor to the green sun, but I guess he only half died probably something to do with his 2 dreamselves. So he was blind in one eye and a ghost in the other.
Then pre-retcon when Erisolsprite was made, Sollux’s ghost half went to be Erisol so then he was 100% alive again and blind in both eyes.
why do you think it'll be just 1 flash? "ending with an update on 4/13, the 7th anniversary of Homestuck. That update will contain ACT 7 in its entirety." is what it says on mspa - doesn't explicitly state what format a7 will take.
I just assume it’ll be another really long flash, but I could be wrong. I’m not Andrew Hussie
what is dad's (both egbert and crocker) strife weapon?
Presumably Jokerkind as they’ve been seen using a variety of weapons
Why didn't Kanaya use her fraymotifs with the rest of the gang? Jade showed you don't have to be god tier or understand your aspect to pull it off when she used them on Bec Noir with Dave.
She probably didn’t have any with them. Fraymotifs are purchased so maybe people from different sessions can’t use them together
If people from different sessions cant use fraymotifs, then explain TZ and Dave using them together.
Good point, I dunno then. Maybe the person coming up with the fraymotifs couldn’t think of any to include Kanaya
Do you think PM will give Jack's ring to Mayor?
Even if she did he wouldn’t wear it. He’s afraid of its powers
How many times have you read homestuck
Like straight read throughs? 2 and a half.
But I’m constantly reading fragments to answer questions so I’m not sure.
About that post about all the ancestors being dead what about The Grand Highblood? He's probably dead yeah but we never found out why like the others (and at this point likely never will unless you have an answer)
Any ancestor that wasn’t Condy or the Handmaid got killed by the Vast Glub
i'm confused. if the dreamself is killed or used to kiss-revive someone, then how would that player get to their sacrificial slab? i mean, i know they'd need to travel to their respective moon, but just how easy is it for a waking player to get there? is it just a simple gate-hop away or what? and then where even is the/an entrance to the core to even get to their slab?
Sacrificial Slabs are typically in the moons of Derse and Prospit. All a player would have to do is fly there.
What is a fraymotif anyway?
forgottenhsfacts:
They’re essentially combo moves
I just realized on my third watching of Collide that the last place we see Gamzee is on Dirk’s planet which is pretty much exploded. Now obviously Gamzee could survive it since he’s practically immortal, but the fridge isn’t, so Gamzee might be on the loose.
why was jade trying to stop pm and bec noir from fighting?
A fight like theirs would be very destructive considering they have Green Sun powers. Also, they were prototyped with Bec’s likeness and she probably didn’t want to see either of them die. I saw a post earlier saying she was acting as an auspistice between them so there’s that possibility too.
So Dirk can still be brought back because Jane hasn't revived him, but is Jane alive or did Condy kill her? If Jane is dead, who can revive her?
We’re not sure if Jane is dead. If she is Dave and Terezi might be able to use that one fraymotif to time travel an alive Jane to this timeline. But either way we know she survives since she appears in Caliborn’s masterpiece which happens further along in this timeline.
Wait is Caliborns Masterpiece from a different timeline or this timeline?
This one.
If Jade put on the ring would she become more powerful or stay at the same level of power in your opinion?
The ring only works on carapaces.
Hey I'd really like to catch up with homestuck but I got a new laptop since I last read so I don't know where to pick up. Last thing I remember is Jade, Jane and Calliope hanging out and making fan trolls, think you could help?
Here maybe?
wait did lord english die or no??
Nope.
What do the mage pjs actually look like?
Canon Mage sprites here.
i heard that someone made a matriorb? did they??
Yes, Roxy did with Void powers.
