July 2015

I see many questions about this update so I’ll answer them in one text post. The Nannasprite that Jane talked to is pre-retcon Nannasprite, the one who spent three years with John and Jade. She hitched a ride over to this timeline on Lowas like Jaspersprite did. The Nannasprite who threw the pie in her face is post-retcon Nannasprite, the one who saw John die when Lowas exploded and baked a lot of cakes to cheer Jade up. 

Okay but can you say Nepjasprosesprite^3

Well I did not see that coming

So now Tavros is essentually screwed the fuck over for Vriskas bitchery

Yes, he’s probably gonna sprite-splode as soon as he wakes up

where did jake get the mouse from?

Vriska probably put it in his pocket

Wait if fefetasprite was created with nepeta's body, how did nepetasprite get made?

Fefeta was pre-retcon, post-retcon Fefeta never got made and so Nepeta’s body was still around

is the portal we see in the recent update supposed to summon the so-called weapon or is IT the weapon?

What portal? There was no portal in the upd8

Are you proud of Tavros in the upd8??

Yeah man, it’s good to see him finally taking up his role as Page of Breath.

In the update for 7/8/15, why are all of the mini strife sprites here?

It’s an army man

okay so with the new update (ie 7/8/15) tavros' ghost shows up with the army of other ghosts. i was under the impression that when tavrosprite was prototyped, tavros' ghost was connected to it and a part of tavrosprite?? i could be confusing this with the whole erisolsprite/half-dead sollux scenario, but regardless im kind of confused? so ghost!tavros and tavrosprite are not the same tavros?

The Tavros with the army is pre-retcon Tavros. Tavrosprite is post-retcon Tavros.

On the down low Jasprose confirms Davekat

my reading comprehension skills are sub-par, could you explain what doomed!callie (or the red text one? i think shes the doomed one?) was talking abt w/ jade? none of it made a lick of sense!!

Basically, in the furthest ring the aspects are exactly the same. In order for one to function the other must as well. In the Furthest Ring when you move through Space you are also moving through Time and if you stop moving through Space then you stop moving through Time as well. The cracks LE is making is causing the aspects in the Furthest Ring to work as they do in the average universe where you can move through time without moving through Space.

At least that’s how I read it, my apologizes if it’s still too complicated.

in the 7/22/15 update ?s=6&p=009812 what is happening exactly? is all the grist going to skaia to make the genesis frog? more importantly, why is prospit eclipsed??

Yes, the grist is going to Skaia to provide energy for the Genesis Tadpole to turn into a Genesis Frog. And Prospit isn’t eclipsed, it’s destroyed. Jack English exploded it when he escaped prison. 

hey!!! ive seen a lot of stuff on my dash about canon davekat and im honestly really confused. i feel like i missed something?? can you help me out :(

It’s not actually canon yet. But ever since we joined up with the group post-retcon it has been heavily hinted at. Such as Vriska saying Dave and Karkat are adorable together and implying they were involved in some quadrant, them snugglin’ up on the couch in the She’s 8ack flash, Karkat getting flustered when John asked if Dave and Karkat were dating, Jasprose saying Karkat has a matesprit, and yesterday’s upd8 of Dave asking Dirk how Dirk told his friends that he and Jake were dating.

Oh my cod for a second there I thought ARquius and Davepeta were going to merge for some unknown odd and complicated reason and then it got me thinking, lie, if they merged they would look a lot like LE??

They would, and they’d probably be the best one to fight him.

Why was the upd8 so awful and why am I still going to read the next one?

Because a main theme in Homestuck is the Irony of liking things that are bad

on todays's upd8 (7/24/15) what was the final page's pic/gif/flash about? or rather, what did it have on it? i am on mobile ahh!!!! :-(

*Mod T sniffles and between bouts of joyous tears agree with themself that this was the most beautiful things they’d seen in their entire life*

Why do so many people suddenly hate Hussie after this update? Slangwang was ranting about him earlier but I don't really understand whats going on. Do you have any idea?

People are just jealous that they can never obtain the artistic mastery that Hussie has achieved with this upd8.

Would you mind summarizing what happened in the new flash?

We saw a flashbacks to when the Scourge Sisters were little and we saw bunch of people that died wake up as ghosts. Then (Vriska) and Game Over Terezi meet and hugged while looking at the cracks in spacetime.

I read the new update and I'm confused about something, in [S] Terezi: Remember. You can see pre-retcon!Karkat in a Prospit outfit. Does this mean this works as an replacement for his dreamself? Just because of the outfit, will it still work for retcon!Karkat to reach god tier then? (Or maybe this is really stupid reasoning :p)

No, that’s just Karkat’s dead dreamself. Dreamselves have their own ghosts.

the last upd8 let me confused, it shows that every dead in homestuck leaves a ghost, dreamselfs, people who dies on questbeds or even people that are then revived via kisses, did i got that right? if that so, why eridan and eequius leaved a ghost if they were revived via sprite? like, when tavrisprite or fefetasprite ware created their ghosts leaved the dreambubbles until they exploded, and as far i understud erisol and arquisprite^2 escaped with the other sprites or were erased on the retcon

I assumed that the murderstuck trolls waking up as ghost was a thing that happened in the past, not a thing that happened just now.

are there two aradias?

Possibly. That still isn’t exactly clear. We see Sollux with Aradia on 9841 flying unassisted which means he isn’t blind which would indicate a post-retcon Sollux. But we don’t know if the pre-retcon one still exists. Same goes for Aradia.

Why does Terezi say she does not remember in the upd8?

She said she doesn’t remember the lives that Doomed Timeline Terezis lived.

why is terezi using her mind powers?

Because she wants to?

ok, should've put it differently. what is the relevance of her usage right now or is it simply her wanting to remember GO!Terezi's life?

She wants to remember what she did in the GO timeline. Plus it leaves us on a really comfy spot to wait out the omegapause

Are (Vriska) and (Terezi) in a dream-bubble right now? Because I really can't tell.

Yes

so the terezi thats been with them this whole time was dead? what? how?

No. The dead terezi from the flash is from the pre-retcon timeline

so im uncertain but did (vriska) and (terezi) die?

I’m gonna say no but it’s unclear

Well we did see Aradia (while greeting Eridan) with what appeared to be a blind Sollux? Was that simply an earlier point in time or another Aradia/Sollux entirely?

That Sollux was halfdead so it was either post-retcon Sollux or pre-retcon from before Erisol was prototyped which is possible considering Eridan was right there.

Ok so the John the died on his questbed Left a ghost, and now his dreamself is him? I don't really know why but the update got me thinking about it again and I realized I forgot

Yes. Both the real self and dreamself leave ghosts.

Where does aradia meet up with dead Eridan?

In [S] Terezi: Remember
