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.

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

No, Jane’s dad is in the credits. 

So john's dad is dead?????

Yes, and has been for many years

why???? why does nepeta always have to die?? why can't she ever get a happy ending!

Nepeta’s Dead™

How does the universe naming thing work? There's the first troll universe with meenah and the gang, then the second one with vriska and friends, then the john and pals, then the roxy and crew, and now this last one. Why is it universe c? Why not e?

 Pre-scratch and Post-scratch take place in the same universe just different parts of it. The Trolls were Universe A.  Meenah’s group was A1, Karkat’s was A2. The Humans were Universe B. John’s group is B1 and Roxy’s is B2. The New Universe is therefore C.

What/where are the different kingdoms??? Are they all on earth???

Yes they are all on Earth

im so sorry but just to make it absolutely clear, after john got calliborn's snaps he and the rest of the beta kids went to fight him and ended up getting sucked into the house juju right? sorry im not very good with all this crazy timeline bullshit. are they ever released from the juju?

Yes that is what happened/will happen as far as canon has shown us

wait how come people are saying "thanks for the gay jewish wedding?" is the jewish thing a headcanon? was the wedding displayed like a jewish wedding??? what??

I thinks it’s because the tricksters were carrying Rose and Kanaya on chairs similar to the Hora (I think that’s right correct me in the replies if it’s not) done at Jewish weddings. Whether you believe this to be a Jewish wedding or just tricksters being wacky is up to you.

Wait, what? What do u mean they didn't live through the 5000 years? What happened? I guess there was a big creators' return party... What did they do??

They time traveled

So I started following Homestuck four years back, at the start of high school for me, and sometime in 10th or 11th grade, I didn't keep up with it anymore. I've collected bits and pieces by all the posts in-tag, since I can't remember exactly where I left off. My question posed though is: should I feel bad for not understanding so much? For example, I don't understand jujus and their functions even though I was still reading when they were first mentioned... I just feel bad for not understanding

Dude it’s a story, a piece of fiction, like there is no problem in not knowing literally everything about it. Plenty of people don’t understand how things work or what they are in homestuck, explaining that shit is like 95% of what this blog does. So no, you shouldn’t feel bad.

does everyone is dead?

i feel like u should probably stop saying that theyre gonna go fight caliborn as confirmed fact bc its really not more than a theory? like we only know this from something caliborn tells us, and hes not the most reliable source

But they are gonna fight Caliborn, they need to. In order for Lord English to exist they need to beat him up and jam him in Lil Cal. And Lord English exists already so therefore they will fight Caliborn. Or risk a doomed timeline.

just to make sure i got it, how did they time travel 5k years?

Dave, can time travel, he’s a time player

They definitely will fight calliborn. But them getting stuck in the juju is not a guarantee. That can still stuff him in to lil cal without themselves getting trapped :)

But if they don’t get sucked into it then Caliborn won’t send it to the furthest ring for Vriska to eventually find and use against Lord English.  And we know Vriska does those things, so the prior has to happen.  And the house juju glows the beta kids aspects so they def got jammed in there.

how meny people get tiger

What happened to nepeta, and eridan? AND PLEASE EXPLAIN GAMZEE

Well nep became part of Davepeta which is rad. Eridan is dead, presumably forever. And Gamzee also ends up dead after he and Caliborn fight the alpha kids.

Besides the House Juju thing which is probably going to be resolved soon, are there any major time loops that still have a piece missing and/or are incomplete?

There’s the white frog in our banner, we don’t know who sent that.

We also don’t know who put the weapons in the lotus pod that Jake gave to Liv Tyler. Following in that, we don’t have the full timeline of the Warhammer of Zillyhoo.

Sooo can you pls remind who gonna die in masterpiece

Gamzee’s the only one that actually “dies” from what we could tell from the claymations.

Dumb question. How old were Rose and Kanaya when they got married?

They were 17. and they started going out when they were 15

Speaking of the Mandela Effect, about a year ago everyone I asked remembered Vriska's god tier shoes as blue, including myself. We were totally blown away by this mass hallucination. Of course they're red, red shoes are her thing!

Yeah, she has orange boots.  Rose’s and Aranea’s god tier shoes are blue thought so maybe that’s why.

Rose is 16 at the wedding not 17

Her birthday is before John’s and it take place after John’s 17th birthday so she’s 17.  John’s the youngest my dude.

Actually think Rose is 16 at her wedding because it's in the fall and her birthday isn't until December.

She was born the year before John, she’s a few months older than him

Wait so could Jane possibly make a non godtier player immortal? Or will Rose have to be a widow if and when Kanaya dies? Cause that's not something I wanna think about

Jane can not make someone immortal. But Kanaya is also sort of undead? So who knows about her mortality.

Stupud question: how does the rest of homestuck happen if the 4 kids sucked into the juju? I have completely forgotten

They get sucked in in the future

Are Dirk and Jake a couple again or nah? And why did they break up in the first place? (btw love your blog)

It looks like they could be. They at the very least made up and are on good terms again. They broke up because Dirk was overly clingy/protective and Jake was distant and rushed into the relationship.

isnt.... wasnt john CREATED first though?

Technically, the first beta kid to pop into existence was Dave, followed by Jade, Rose, and then John. Either way he’s the youngest.

In reference to Rose's age, if she's a few months older than John, and it takes place sometime after John is 17, would it be a reasonable assumption to say Rose waited until she was human 18 to get married?

It’s very possible to assume that

YOOOOO WHAT IF THE FIRST BLOOD A RAINBOWDRINKER DRINKS GIVES THEM THE LONGEVITY OF THAT BLOOD CASTE, SO KANAYA COULD LIVE INDEFINITELY WITH ROSE FOREVER

Good theory, for those of you that don’t recall the first blood Kanaya drank upon conversion was Feferi’s.

I'm sure there's one panel at least where vriska has blue shoes? I remember them at bright blue... are they not?

Vriska has never had blue shoes in any of her outfits. They’ve always been red or red-orange

Wait couldn't Vriska steal all the luck again and then just follow Kanaya around and jump in the way of everything so that it miraculously misses her and doesn't hit Kanaya?

Vriska’s not around though

IF TEREZI FINDS VRISKA AND THEN JUST ATTACHES KANAYA TO HER BACK

You really Vriska would go for that though?

If the kids still have their powers, would they still be immortal?

Yes

for the thing with vriska having blue shoes. its possible you guys are remembering another light player who had blue shoes...

Yeah, like I said, both of the other light players have blue shoes

if all of the juggalos are invincible, why did kurloz die from the bomb that killed the dancestors?

He’s a Mime, the lowest form of Clown. Therefore he only gets some of the Clown benefits, like being really creepy

Kanaya being immortal is a viable thing actually given what she's already survived and her comparable nature to a human "Vampire". She would already likely have a lifespan greater than that of modern humans due to hemospectrum placement but her existence as a Rainbow Drinker could likely increase her lifespan to near infinite, if not unending.

true facts

Is Dave's SBAHJifier similar to Lil' Hal in a sense but is eternally trapped in a camera and can only communicate through SBAHJ comics?

the SBAHJifier is not a sentient object, it has no personality, it’s essentially a shitpost generator, not like Lil Hal at all.

Is Davepeta alive in the new world?

Unknown, but given their placement at Ground Zero it’s unlikely

through dave's time travel power, could the non-godteirs live forever?

No. He can’t stop them from aging or travel their bodies back into their younger versions

Kanaya would have to feed on troll blood, and it'd probably have to be from one who's higher than her on the hemospectrum, most likely Terezi because she'd be the most willing, Vriska might let her but she'd probably charge her for it because she's like that

Okay but she’s also revered as a God by the Troll Kingdom, I feel like she wouldn’t have a problem opening a blood bank

Why do some sptites have legs and others dont?

Sprite^2 had legs because they’r better than you

jane did the lifey thing when jack stabbed her. why couldn't feferi do the same?

Feferi got cut in half, that a bit different

fuck you. let people have happy headcanons about things that are not confirmed. let people believe their favorite characters survived. stop telling people to stop having fun

Okay, you can have your happy headcanons, that’s fine, I’m not saying you can’t do that. But when you ask me if X character is alive, I’m not going to say yes if they aren’t. I’m using facts and narrative themes/trends to answer. We don’t know if X character is alive, but given the amount of death in this comic coupled with the fact they were standing infront of a fucking Black Hole, it seems unlikely that they survived.

I have not said any character that was out in the Furthest Ring when it imploded is dead. I say it’s unknown, I say it’s unlikely that they’re alive. But I never give a definitive “no, they’re dead” because I don’t know, alright. 

Karkat’s not immortal, he’s not, he’s gonna die someday. So is Terezi.

All the evidence points towards Caliborn’s masterpiece happening, which mean the Beta kids being trapped in that House Juju, it’s gonna happen. The Alpha kids being stranded on desolate far-future Earth, it’s gonna happen.

Like I get that you want your headcanon, and you can have them, please do. But when you ask me a question, don’t expect me to answer with bias. My answers are based off canon, and if that’s not what you want, don’t talk to me.

So vriska is dead?

It’s likely, but Terezi hasn’t given up hope so neither should you

Do you think people are gonna blame john for getting everyone stuck in the juju if that does turn out to be where the timeline is headed?

Probably. It seems like he’ll be the one to rally the troops.

If theyre trapped in the house juju I guess you could say theyre all HOMESTUCK

That’s the joke
