what happened to mod lamp?

All the original mods lost interest in running this blog and recruited new mods to take their places, however I was the only one that stuck.

Have you noticed the parallel between Jade's dialogue in the update JADE: i am very much awake! JADE: and i intend to stay that way :) and what Aradia said a while ago?

Yes I did, I love all the parallels in homestuck. 

The other in this upd8 was the exchange between Dave and Dirk, Dave had the same exchange with Davesprite before

Is it only me or do the characters personalities seem different?

I blame the art.

No offense to the guest artists, but it just makes it read differently.

stupid question probably but is arquius alive??? if not what happened to him i mean wasnt he last seen hugging davepeta and everyone was excited because they thought the sprites fused but then according to this update they didnt... so wheres arquius???

He’s around, still very much alive

Do you think Jade will use two paperrollkinds on PM and Bec Noir?

That would be a great call back

"Don't skip the intermission" doesn't mean anything anymore, now that there are like 12 intermissions.

Okay, don’t not skip the intermission kids, skip all like 12 of them, fuck all the intermissions, that’s including the interfishin

What happened to the young Handmaid?

She was raised by the Scratchman himself

I was wondering what had happened to the dead Vriska that was with Meenah. I can't remember exactly what happened. Did she join the ghost army or is she just forgotten about?

She’s with (Terezi) now, as seen in [S] Terezi: Remem8er

I'm so confused like why did the omegapause begin with Terezi flying away messaging Vriska, and then Terezi: Remem8er, and then suddenly she was with the Striders? am I missing something in between or?

She was flying to the Strider, we didn’t see her arrive

So correct me if I'm wrong but sprite^2 get all the alternate memories of doomed selves in paradox space. Does this include their grown up counterpart like Bro Dave for davepetasprite^2.

I don’t think so, I think it’s just the memories of each version of themself that was supposed to play the game

Wait so does Cyborg Jack need to be taken out? Like is he on the kids' side, or is he on the "I have no idea what's going on so everyone's gettin an ass beating" side?

More the latter than the prior, he’s kinda a third party in this showdown

do you think it was wise for davepetasprite to actually wake jade up??

The Condesce might be too busy in combat to mind control Jade again. 

how did jake get the weapons for liv tyler from the lotus time capsule?

That is one time loop that hasn’t been closed yet. We still haven’t seen the weapons put into the lotus capsule in the first place. 

Im on anon because I feel stupid asking this but, how exactly does one achieve god tier? Are there circumstances, like, "yeah you would've, but this happened a year ago so, no"

Faq

what exactly is gamzee's role in the story? i know he is a bad guy and a subjuggulator, but isn't he also some kind of higher being???

Gamzee has plot armor since he’ll eventually become a part of Lord English so nothing can happen to him until that point.

sorry to be a bother but what is dirks status in the Pre-retcon timeline as he didn't arrive until the fight was over, correct me if im wrong with this tenement please

He was stuck in all the glitches. 

I hope you have a lovely day! And Ive never asked anything here before, but thank you for being so on top of whats going on and such. :3

Thank you and you’re welcome! 

Besides the main bad guys like Lord English, Condy and Bec Noir. Who else would be considered a villain for the series.

Jack English.  (epilepsy warning for that page)

So, why will Gamzee eventually become a part of Lord English?

He happened to get sucked into Dirk’s spell. 

did we ever find out who sendificated the white frog to jade when she was little?

Not yet. 

For some clarification, while the only difference in post-retcon meteor crew's events was Vriska being alive, her presence did change how the various characters interacted with eachother and, in turn, how events played out by quite a drastic margin. Rose not being an alcoholic, Terezi not ending up in a relationship with Gamzee or Dave, Karkat and Dave getting closer, and I think that's it?

Also Terezi is still blind. 

why was aranea mind controlling gamzee, and how long was she controlling him for?

She was controlling him in order to get the Ring of Life, and not very long

how did the red miles reach the alpha kids' universe? does their universe exist within the same genesis frog that the beta kids did? if so, why did everyone have to travel so far through the furthest ring?

Alpha kids’ universe is in the same Genesis Frog as the Beta kids’.

As for why so long, John and Jade were travelling through an alternate dimension at a speed so fast that time slowed down, and The Meteor Crew were travelling through the Furthest Ring where time and space work differently and it’s incredibly difficult to navigate through.

what is caliborn doing in the latest update as of april 1 2016?

He’s getting ready to beat up his denizen

i just asked about the red miles/genesis frog and now i have a similar but related question to replace it; if the alpha kids' universe and the beta kids' universe both exist inside the same frog, why did the beta kids have to travel through the furthest ring to get to the alpha kids' session? shouldnt they have just been traveling within the frog, i guess? sorry im just a little confused haha! thanks :)

Sessions take place outside the Genesis Frog, they weren’t inside the frog when they left or when they arrived.

Can your awake self travel to Derse or Prospit to see your dream self?

Yes

Wait didn't jade spend the time on the meteor with dave sprite? Why did she say she was all alone

Davesprite died early on in the voyage post-retcon

why is gamzee pretending to be god tier?

Because he’s a troll

I recently came to the realization of how much I would hate to be a Prince of Blood.

That’s thinking too negatively. Think of how great that’d be fighting a team, the ability to destroy unity, it’d be really helpful.Or how beneficial it’d be for your team, to destroy using unity, that sounds like it’d improve teamwork.

is there anyone (beside gamzee) who hasnt been mentioned in recent upd8 and might get the spotlight tomorrow? we only have one normal upd8 left before eoa6

We haven’t seen Arquius or the two Nannasprites.

But my guess is the next 18 or however many pages are left are just close ups of Gamzee in the fridge honking

Is "Andrewhusssie" (three S's) Hussies official instagram? They liked a photo of mine and im Rather confused

Nope, only Official twitter account if his is andrewhussie

May one of you wise mods explain to me what a witch of light actually would do?

We don’t take classpect questions but I suggest you take a look at this post.

What is that box that vriska is sitting on?

The juju chest that has the white house juju. 

Could roxy make sacrificial slabs like she made the martiorb?

Unlikely but we don’t know for sure 

Wait, if karkat is knocked out, is that his dreamself? Or is he passing though a dream bubble?

It is his Dream Phantom

Did tavros know he was getting robot legs or was it a surprise for him?

I’m sure they wouldn’t cut off his legs without his permission

Has Terezi always been this rude or is it because of the retcon?

It’s a constant Terezi quality

what the babies does retcon mean

It’s when a previously stated fact is changed.

When we say pre or post-retcon we’re talking about before and after John went into the past and changed things.

Wait, is there a difference between Ghost and Dream Phantom?

Ghost is a dead person, Dream Phantom is someone that is asleep with a dead dreamself

so, players of the game technically have three lives, right? Self, Dream Phantom and Ghost? and, do we know what happens when ghosts double-die?

Dream Phantoms aren’t really a life, they’re more like an astral projection.

And when a ghost doubledies they die for real

if cherubs share a body and caliborn killed callie's dreamself how is she around currently (sorry if this is worded weirdly)

Her ghost was brought back to life

So is AR/Hal/Cal/Dirk's glasses a bad guy? or is it just his abilities of being some kind of all knowing God that make it into Lord English that make him seem that way?

Wouldn’t say Lil Hal is a bad guy, more of an instigator than anything

how did the trolls know to start talking to the kids? which troll conversed with which kid first?

IT’S A PARADOX!

The trolls noticed the kids because Dave send them a bunch of money because Terezi told him to.

And the first troll-kid convo chronologically is Dave and Terezi

if revived!callie goes to sleep what happens?

My best guess is she gets a dream phantom, but I’m not sure

how do you know so much more about homestuck than most people?

Homestuck is one of my special interests

not really a paradox, just a causality loop

are you andrew hussie?

No, I’m Caliborn, we went over this last 4/13

what is caliborn doing in this update? is he about to fight his denizen or is he just going to talk to it

He about to punch the shit outta yaldaboob

what is the role of the denizens? also, what were the role of the horrorterrors?

Denizens are kinda like sages, they assign quests to their players and give them information. However since they are usually quite monstrous a lot of people just end up fighting them.

Horrorterrors are the dark equivalent of Skaia, and in a similar manner they are meant to influence and persuade the direction all things take

do you think karkat is safe from dying while hes fighting lord english cause hes asleep?

Honestly, I don’t know. If they were fighting anyone else I’d say he was safe, but since LE can kill ghosts, I’m just not sure. There’s a possibility he could die for real.
