October 2016

I am stupid. Please explain credits to me? Why are people saying this gave Gamzee a resolution? And is the Caliborn Masterpiece fight something that takes place in Universe C? (And if so, how did it take him out in [S] Collide?)

OKAY!!!! CREDITS: Broken into lines so it’s easier to read

From my initial two viewings basically: The kids won and went to the sped along Earth they brought with them. 

They spend some time looking around,Battleship crew got a tour around the Meteor and then they ectobiologically MADE A SHIT TON OF BABIES of human, troll and carapacian descent. (Luckily Jake didn’t eat any of them)

And there’s lots of troll blood colors so limited supply of live trolls obviously wasn’t a factor in this.They ship the babies out with some grown Carapaces.

Then time drop 5000-something years into Earth’s future.Which is where the end of Act 7 takes place.

They’re return is celebrated and they are treated as royalty/gods, splitting up and taking rule over the 4 kingdoms (possibly a Problem Sleuth reference)

John, Jane, Dad Crocker and Nannasprite stay with the Human Kingdom

Terezi, Karkat, Dave, and Jade stay with the Troll Kingdom

Rose, Kanaya, Roxy and Calliope go to the Carapace Kingdom

Dirk, Jake, and Gcatavrosprite go to the Consort Kingdom

They go to John’s house to celebrate his 17th birthday.

THEN ROSE AND KANAYA GET MARRIED AND I CRY THEY”RE SO CUTE

Calli for some reason brings the Trickster Sucker and they have a little sugar fun.

Rose feeds Kanaya some cake, adorable

Dave, Jade, and Karkat who at this point I can only assume are a happy poly couple but who know, go looking for jpeg Statues of Liberty and shit.

Dirk builds a Lord English robot for him and Jake to tussle with

John’s 18th birthday comes by, he stills love Con Air

Terezi goes looking for Vriska only to find the Black Hole and a bunch of Ghost dying

Jane starts CrockerCorp again with success

Jake starts Skaianet Enterprises again and gets his ass all over tv

John’s 19th birthday comes. Kanaya and Rose are shown in the caverns with all the baby trolls

John’s 20th b.day happens, he fondly regards his father

then he gets a snap from Caliborn from in his Session, rallies the troops and that’s when he goes to fight him.

This upd8 clarified when Caliborn’s masterpiece takes place.  And Caliborn was born in Universe C so all his stuff takes place there.

Basically the main stuff to take away from the credits is:

The dreambubbles being destroyed is confirmed.

It confirms when the Caliborn’s Masterpiece fight takes place, It’s when the kids are 20.

Sprites and consorts are confirmed still around

Possibly Dirkjake is canon once more

So is possibly Davekatjade? Not 100% sure but it looks like it.

Roxy/Calliope is  possibly canon as well (rip in peace johnroxy)

ROSE AND KANAYA GOT HUMAN MARRIED!

Also the kids are now the ages they would be in real time. Act 7 ended 2012 their time, Hussie jumped them 4 years ahead.

Can all godtiered individuals float?

Yes

Why there is Calliborn in Credits? What the timeline of all of that??? PLS HLP

That’s the Alpha Timeline Caliborn, the one that the kids beat up in the Masterpiece, the one that will become Lord English, the one we watched in Act 7 get his rainbow eyes. He’s there to instigate the kids into surprising him.

so that means they get like. four years of happiness and then that's it?

ye p much

wait does this mean that after their happy ending they all just go fight caliborn and get sucked into his juju and thats the end or

p. much, ye

I don't see how the Credits confirm that the Lord Jack Black Hole leads to Caliborn's session

Okay, I may have jumped the metaphoric gun on that one. I was just so excited to be getting answers to some things.

So, since the dream bubbles are confirmed to be destroyed does that mean the dancestors are too?

most likely

I don't exactly see how suddenly Dirk/Jake is canon again, and how Roxy/Calliope is canon? Yeah, they interacted alot, but I don't immediately see anything explicitly romantic about it all? Sure, every other ship took a major back seat to the Human Marriage, but do you mind supplying some proof?

Again, I jumped the gun. I was drawn in by the hype. Everyone just seemed so happy and gay, very unusual for Homestuck. Conclusions were jumped to. It’s possible that the aforementioned ships were being hinted at, but are not likely outright canon, unless we get some juicy gossip in the epilogue. mah bad

What happens to the kids after they turn 20 and fight Caliborn?

Well that seems to be the end of the Beta kids as we knew them.

The Alpha kids haven’t really been explored passed being stuck in Caliborn’s session/Far future-Earth. Perhaps the Epilogue will provide answers in this category

So like, I'm a little confused as to where some of these snaps are coming from. I followed the msp Snapchat with John and the earth c pic in it but where's the rest? Are there multiple Snapchats? What are their names? Sorry, i'm kind of lost.

I don’t think all the snaps were released on the Snapchat, or purrhaps they will be released throughout the day

OK JohnRoxy might be dead, but what about JohnRezi..? ;o;

Well it seemed like it was still a thing. But we don’t see Terezi after the Black Hole snaps so who knows….

Are the dream bubbles BEING destroyed, or are they already destroyed?

Yes

The nature of the juju and what we see it do in canon dictates that the trapped kids will be released in time, right? Isn't that the case? I mean it sucks but its not permahell.

Does it though? The other characters we’ve seen get sucked into a juju never quite make it out as themselves.

Is there a character whose origin is unknown and could be explained by the "fusion" of the Beta Kids through that white house juju ? Just like Lord English being the fusion of Caliborn, Arquiussprite and a half of Gamzee ?

correct me if I'm wrong but didn't someone say that jake and dirks relationship wasn't healthy?

It wasn’t.

THE UPD8 I'M CRYING

same, im gonna get the rosemary wedding scene tattooed on my face

Where is Jack and Ms. Paint and Crowbar? If they're not in there then do you think it'll be explained in the epilogue? Jack was a very important character

Well this is 5000 years in the future, even if they did come to the new universe with everyone they’re probably dead

The black hole behind Terezi was the one callie created, meaning everyone is coming back through it. All the surviving Ghosts, Vriska, Aradia, and Sollux.

Nono my friend, that is the Black Hole alt Callie created, but everyone is being sucked in, not coming out.

Isnt crowbar a time travelling leprechaun (not a carapace) what if he followed them

He probably would have been pulled from that point in the timeline by now, given the Felts varies temporal shenanigans

Question - is Gamzee still under control of Cal(iborn)? It would seem so, no?

I can’t answer this safely. It just reeks of starting Gamzee Discourse. Think what you like.

Why are all the ancestors skin blacked out? Is it a stylistic choice? Is it for dramatic effect? Does the skin go darker with age..? (then again the dancestors have the regular grey..) It looks badass either way

It seems like it darkens with age since the Condesce is still shown with black skin in recent events

Did the treasure even do anything in the end? It seemed like the Black Hole was what did Lord English in. Was the treasure ever really important?

Well that’s debatable.

It could have stripped him of his invulnerability/immortality.

We know it had an effect on the kids entering their new universe which would eventually lead to them defeating Caliborn so one could consider that part of it’s “used against him” effect. It’s unclear.

Do we have any confirmation as to Vriska's current location?

Nope. She likely was sucked into the Black Hole with the rest, she was at Ground Zero after all

Forgotten Homestuck fact: when Hussie makes teh upd8 and u go aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Where does the black hole lead?

It IS possible that Terezi can travel back to Earth C at some point, right?

Well she traveled out there from Earth C, I assume she can find her way back

are the universes that the alpha + beta kids started out playing sburb in all dead? like, have they been eliminated by scratches or destroyed by lord english / jack noir or

The kids universe is/was being killed by the Red Miles.

The trolls universe was destroyed when Snowman was killed.

The Beta kids medium was wiped out by the Scratch

The Alpha kids medium is likely still relatively intact

so rose and kanaya get like 2 years of married life before rose goes to juju purgatory?? nice. Nice. Thanks hussie. Thanks

2-3 years, yeah.

Mod t should get that screaming john that he sent to caliborn tattooed on them selves. The one where hes like "step off"

wait I know this is a dumb question but where can I find the epilogue? people keep on talking about married Rosemary but I can't find it!

The Epilogue hasn’t been released. The Credits aka today’s update is on the mspa website.

What happens to the kids after they get out of the juju and defeat lord english? (at least what do you think happens)

I don’t think they get out

So how does WV's feelings on monarchy gel with the three new kingdoms?

He knows the kids will be fairly hands off leaders, likely being more akin to figureheads than anything.  I’m sure the kingdoms, or the Carapace Kingdom at the very least have democratically appointed leaders as well.

so the Mayor's dead?

Most likely

Why Jade's skirt turns shorter suddenly? (From Cascade to when she turns grimbark and later)

Her God Tier skirt has always been around knee length.

If they never get out and are trapped forever how will John die? Doc Scratch was reasonably sure that when John died, it wouldn't be as a scoundrel, indicating that he will die, and not live in, infinite house hell.

Doc Scratch just meant that if/when John died for good it would be a Heroic death and not a Just one. Because John is a good egg.

WHO TAKES OVER CAN TOWN

Whoever the citizens elect.

Do the kids still have God Tier abilities in Earth C? If not, then how is Jade able to fly if the Green Sun was destroyed?

They still have their God Tier powers.

what's the red miles?

Where did that ectobiology lab on Earth C come from? Was it sent through a Skaia portal?

It was in the Meteor

Whatever happens to lord english? His death is never shown in act 7 and maked no appearance in credits...

He likely is sucked into the Black Hole

Did Terezi live

Yes, but then after 3 years she went back to look for her girl Vraska

I've seen this in a few fics, so I started wondering. Could roxy create quest beds for the trolls so they could ascend to God tier?

Unlikely but unknown

Is there a place or blog that posts each snapchat upd8 for those without snapchat?

They are all included in the credits, but you can also view them here

What if... John was in a coma the entire time??

image

did terezi get sucked up into the black hole when she tried looking for Vriska?

Possibly

The mayor can't be dead he's like... there... in the credits he is There

At the beginning, before they jump 5000+ years into the future

wasent it stated the juju when used again would resummon them? which is presumably what it did when Vriska used it, just we werent aloud to see that part

That was a rumor, what it actually would do is unknown

hang on tho, is caliborns masterpiece a confirmed thing that actually happens? as in, what if the ending and john smashing his phone is him beign like 'nah fuck you im not going to come get sucked into ur juju and live my life on new earth hapilly' idk jut a concept

come on man, you know that’s too good an ending for this shit show. They gotta go beat up baby shrek and jared leto.
