so what are all the villains' goals at the moment?
The Condesce wants to kill Lord English and build up a new empire in the new universe. Lord English wants to kill everything, specifically Calliope. Jack English most likely has the same goals as LE. Bec Noir’s goals right now are unknown. Spades Slick also has unknown goals.
I have sort of a silly question regarding troll romance based on some things I forgot about the quadrants. Is it possible to have a following scenario where Troll A has a matespritship with Troll B, but also is moirail with Troll C; however, Trolls B and C don't get along and there are spades between them. Troll D then meddles as clubs, trying to keep their relationship functional. Like, is it really possible?
Yes, from my understanding of quadrants that is possible.
What ever happened to Grandpa Harley? I know he's dead, but time shenanigans happened, and he was doing stuff after Jade and Co. started playing the game. Is he still in the Medium?
Who of the ancestors are alive? And where are they all?
All trolls in the A universe were killed by the Vast Glub save the Condesce since she is a fuchsia blood and eleven of the troll players since they had already escaped to the Medium. Sollux didn’t survive because Karkat didn’t get him into the Medium in time but Feferi later revived him.
Do you think Jake and Tavros are going to fight Spades Slick, or are they going to gain a (sort of) ally who hates LE and wants to punch his skull face?
Tavros won’t be going with since he’s grounded. As for the Jake/Slick meeting I see two possibilities. Either A) he gains an ally like you suggested or B) Jake mentions his last name is English and Slick tries to beat him up.
So according to this information regarding the public availability of Sburb/Sgrub in human and troll societies/market, this means that headcanons where other children/humans entered the game and lived/are living their own adventures are plausible and supported by the official canon, whereas headcanons where other trolls (not included amongst the 24 we know) entered the game are not?
Nope, other trolls playing has no basis in canon. Although if you want to write a fanventure there are definitely ways around it. In a fanventure I was planning three years ago one of my trolls was supposed to play with Sollux but he booted him in preference for someone else after he sent the code and my old fantroll copied it and sent it to their friends and that was how they played.
Where does it say the alpha trolls' age? I've heard the 9 sweeps thing quoted a number of times but I thought it was just fanonised because its a neat +3 (units) mirroring the kids' age differences. How do we know?
They were six sweeps old when they started sgrub and stayed in their session for three sweeps before starting the Scratch.
Is it confirmed that John's Dad's biological mother is Nana/Jane? And he's John/Popop's biological son in the post-scratch universe? Or is he just some weird entity that bridges the universes????
Dad Egbert is Nanna’s son and Dad Crocker is Poppop’s son.
Doesn't the Condesce work for Lord English? I thought she and the Handmaid fought because the Condesce wanted to be associated with Lord English's power, so she killed the Handmaid and then began working for/with him?
The Condesce was forcibly recruited into Lord English’s service.
We know that Sburb was a game sold by multinational companies in both Alpha and Beta Earth universes, but what about Sgrub? What's the origin of the codes found by Aradia in the ruins? Billions of years prior to that, what's the origin of the original Sgrub, found by Meenah during her escape to the moon?
Aradia found a Frog Temple in a ruin and sent the code in the ruins to Sollux who adapted it into a computer game. Meenah found the game on her pink moon and had her friends start playing.
Could you please explain the whole scratch thing to me? I'm so confused - I don't get it at all!
The scratch is a release of temporal energy that causes Skaia to switch which portals the meteors go through. It results in a reset universe and a switched set of players.
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.
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.
I don't really understand the john's dad/ jane's dad character. Like dave's bro is Dirk and jade's grandpop is Jake and Rose's mom is roxy but john's dad/ jane's dad never has a different scratch self. can you explain him to me?
He is a biological child created by Nanna/Poppop respectively.
