What are your opinions on the clownpocalypse my dudes

This was all foretold. Juggallos marching on Washington. Clown attacks in over 32 states. We better keep an eye on Guy Fieri, he’s on some thin ice. 

You've said before that all the dream bubbles were destroyed. But I'm pretty sure nothing in Act 7 indicated the dream bubbles were destroyed, just that the Green Sun was destroyed. What basis do you have in saying that the dream bubbles were destroyed?

Alt Calliope opened up the black hole which began to suck in all of Paradox Space. Also, Lord English was already shattering reality with his rainbow laser powers.

Does it ever say in canon if Aradia has telekinetic powers before she dies? You said once that powers were caste locked, so I thought if it was something Sollux could do it wasn't something Aradia did while alive.

Yes, Aradia had telekinesis while she’s alive. Vriska mentions here that she brings Aradia along to find the ultimate juju so Aradia can use telekinesis to move it.

Do Jade bloods have to be revived (possibly by a Blood Player) to become a Rainbow Drinker or is reviving as one just an innate thing they do?

Becoming a rainbow drinker is a metamorphosis, something Kanaya had been groomed for since she was young. Being revived didn’t work because her dream self was dead and the Blood player theory isn’t really relevant because Porrim already confirmed that the condition is directly related to jade blood, not if you’re revived by a Blood player. 

Who beat dirks yaldaboath?

It’s never mentioned if Dirk ever fought Yaldabaoth or even met him.

what are some of your favorite moments in homestuck? (whichever mod sees this) right off the top of your head. (funny, beautiful, sad, etc)

A few off the top of my head.. Vriska’s death scene, I thought it was a perfect end to her arc. All of [S] Make Her Pay, especially where Aradia came to beat the shit out of Vriska. When Rose fought Bec Noir. When Caliborn bit off his leg. When Jade was shrinking all the planets. When Roxy killed the Condesce. There are a lot of good moments in Homestuck.

random fact about meenah? :D

Meenah once baked a cake for her team during their session. Kankri mentions this when you talk to him as Latula.

Any forgotten Feferi facts? Sorry if this has been asked before

Feferi’s lusus once told her a prophecy that Feferi would unite the land dwellers and sea dwellers but the prophecy was never brought to fruition. 

How did the alpha trolls/pre scratch trolls scratch their session and then like became ancestors? I'm still confused on that. Also, how could they have been in the dream bubbles if karkat did the ectobiology stuff?

They scratched their session and normally when a session is scratched you cease to exist but Meenah decided to blow them up before the scratch was complete so they became ghosts instead. 

When a scratch is initiated the meteors headed to Alternia through Skaia’s portals were switched and they were sent to a time way before Karkat’s team was born. They grew up to become the ancestral figures to Karkat and his group.

Where did the Condesce kill Areana?

Here

Why are candy-red bloods persecuted against? Are they killed at birth? Do we know much about their treatment or any specifics?

Their blood color lies outside the hemospectrum and it brands them a mutant. They’re considered pariahs and are culled on sight as mentioned by Karkat when he speaks to Meenah in Openbound when the player speaks to him in his room dream bubble. 

do all of the witch god tiers have red glitter shoes or is that just jade

No, we see godtier Feferi here and she has purple shoes.

Do you have to defeat your denizen to release your grist hoard?

You can either defeat your denizen or complete their challenge.

What was the Scratch? Why did it happen and what did it do?

The scratch was started because the kids’ session was going all wrong. You trigger it when you scratch the surface of the construct on the Time player’s planet in a special way with quills from Echidna. It acts as a reset button and reboots the session. The two ecto groups are switched and the new group plays instead. 

is there a canon moment where Mituna doesn't have his helmet?

Yes, you can see him without a helmet in the Ministrife. 

Where was it revealed/stated that the kids would be sucked into the Juju?

Here

So do we know what will happen to the kids that get sucked into the house juju during the fight with caliborn or will that just be cleared up in the epilogue

As of right now we don’t know if they emerge when Vriska used the juju or if they really are stuck there. It will most likely be cleared up in the epilogue. 

So hiveswap will be set in this new universe, right?

Nope, Hiveswap takes place pre-scratch in the 90s. 

wait, so terezi went back to the black hole calliope created to look for nepeta and the other trolls who were stuck there? did she get sucked in as well/is she okay? im still really unclear on that bc we saw her go in and then never heard from her again.

Terezi went back to Paradox Space to find Vriska. From the way her and John were discussing it, it seems she can come and go freely. 

If the Scratch releases a massive amount of temporal energy to reset the game, and Spades Slick opening Lord English's vault released a massive amount of temporal distortion and transported him to the worst timeline, is opening LE's vault a sort of scratch?

Not necessarily. Opening English’s vault transported Slick to another timeline.

Do you think because of how open ended parts of the epilogue is hussie will do more with homestuck?

This upd8 wasn’t the epilogue. Epilogue has yet to arrive. 

WAIT WHAT IS HAPPENING? I'm very inactive, what is going on? Is homestuck continuing or what is all this about?

Homestuck ending credits video was posted on YouTube and Rose and Kanaya got married.

But why does John stay in his house all alone? Does he have to?

He’s feeling a little lonely without his dad. 

how do we know johns dad died? not skeptical, just curious

…..Wait, is this a serious question? We saw Dad Egbert’s body multiple times. 

John even mentions it.

wait I thought the implication was that Jane's dad had died too though?

No, Jane’s dad is in the credits.
