In light of recent events, I'm a little confused about Doc Scratch. I see people saying that Doc Scratch was ARquiusprite, but if he was made using Lil' Cal, then shouldn't he be Caliborn/Gamzee/ARquiusprite, and not JUST ARquius?
Yes that’s true but he was definitely more Arquius than Caliborn or Gamzee, just how LE is more Caliborn.
How do we know Equius is dead in the retcon timeline? I only remember seeing a dead Nepeta, but didn't see or get any mention of Equius.
If Gamzee killed Nepeta before Equius then Gamzee wouldn’t be alive.
errgh, which one is "post-scratch Cal?" :( Better yet, has anyone drawn an updated timeline chart for Lil Cal somewhere?
Post-Scratch Cal is the one with Dirk. and not that I’ve seen but I’m sure one’ll pop up sooner or later.
how old is john?? i thought he was 16 but people keep saying hes 19
John landed in 1996 so in real time he’s be 19, but it’s still 2012 in the story so in story he’s 16 just like all the rest of the kids.
how did we know that gamzee was actually sucked in? Caliborn never mentioned him, and we still see him on the ground in a page after caliborn is put into Cal
Gamzee was split in half, half of Gamzee got sucked in and half of him was left under the stage.
How many followers does this blog have????
I currently have 45,101.
Does this mean that "original" Cal started in the Alpha timeline because it was empty? Also to clarify when you said "repeat," does it mean: Cal starts off in alpha universe, eventually gets the souls of the 3 stuck in it, makes its way to the beta universe via bro(/dirk??), eventually dies, then repeats?
Repeat means start back at the top. Cal doesn’t actually start anywhere, as a juju his origin is a paradox. His life cycle is a circle.
Didn't Jade's dreamself die saving John's therefore she still ascended without having an extra life?
Yes, but Jade’s dreamself came back to life in the form of Jadesprite.

Cal’s travels (so far). Click for bigger/clearer.
For those that requested a visual chart. This has all the same info as my timeline post.
Does the clown magic mean Gamzee will regrow his other-half (Considering the amount of times he should have died) and there'll be two Gamzees?
After the upd8 we can know that the reason that Gamzee was actually immortal was because he had to be there to get his soul sucked into Lil Cal and become part of Lord English. So now that that’s happened Gamzee shouldn’t be immortal anymore.
Is Homestuck officially over now?
Homestuck will never be over
so then when DS tells Karkat not to turn his back on the body is the Equius warning him to not let Gamzee steal the bodies?
I think it’s more of a call back to Caliborn’s fight with the Alpha kids where he turned his back then one of the bodies got back up. Which would happen with Kanaya.

well if that’s the case since we watched Cal get filled up with souls does that mean there’s a part in his life cycle where he gets emptied of souls?
Yes, where his timeline splits being sent back with ectobaby Dirk. Pre-scratch Cal keeps the souls and Post-scratch didn’t. This is probably due to the fact that two of the same juju can’t exist at the same time without of one them being an illusion or doomed to be destroyed.
why do you think LE's eyes weren't flashing during the battle?
Too much work for Caliborn.
Could u maybe put a link to the FAQ for us mobile users?
Merry Christmas
If Cal's existance is basically just a circle that just starts over and over again, does that mean that there could be multiple Caliborns/Gamzees/Equiuses inside that puppet??? Or am I missing something, cuz that don't exactly sound right...
Lil Cal’s timeline splits during the Scratch so there are two Lil’ Cals at the same time and the souls can’t go into both so they go into one and the other one is empty. The one with the souls has it’s eyes ripped out and is probably destroyed and the one without them get the souls put in by Dirk.

How would that explain him being immortal?
He needed to be alive to fulfill the timeloop. If Gamzee died then Lord English wouldn’t exist since Gamzee setup Caliborn’s home, created ARquiusprite and became part of English himself.
why is AR so smart? at least why is he to the fandom?
He’s a super computer capable of solving pi
If Gamzee said that the true messiahs where both "him :o) and also motherfucking him Do:" what do you think will happen to the other half?
The messiahs are Doc Scratch and Lord English which he becomes a part of just by being in Cal so his other half might just stay dead.
No, the mirthful messiahs are Caliborn and Calliope. That's why he raised Calliope just the same and never gave Caliborn any advantages. He's even shown to like the Callie baby more than the Cal baby.
When it comes to raising babies you’d prefer a calm baby to one that’s always scratching and biting. But here’s something from an archive of Hussie’s old deleted tumblr saying that Doc Scratch and LE are the messiahs:
“LE has always been around influencing troll culture from the start, and
it seems he was always the embodiment of the mirthful messiahs the
highbloods worshiped, since he was really two beings, Doc Scratch and
LE, both “mirthful” puppet-based entities, in their own ways. Gamzee’s
honking, the humorous brutality of the subjugglators and their dark
spiritual beliefs, all could be traced to LE.“
Wait so when Caliborn trapped the beta kids in the juju and then sent it to the furthest ring does he send it to the location where vriska and the others find it, leading to John touching it and getting his retcon powers?
Yes
Do you happen to know the page that featured the midnight crew song? I can't seem to find it. Thanks :D
That would be [S] DD: Ascend more casually.
I though Gamzee was already cut in half by Kanaya, so why is he still alive and dies basically the same way in the upd8?
That was in [S] Game Over which didn’t happen since John changed stuff with his retcon powers.
Are the retcon powers an inherent property of Caliborn's house juju or are they only transferred to John because John, who has retcon powers, is trapped in the house juju?
It could be either.
How did the doll that gave john nightmares make the universe terminal?
If Gamzee didn’t chucklevoodoo up that doll in John’s dreams then he wouldn’t have draw harlequins on his wall and his dad wouldn’t have thought he liked them and bought him the harlequin doll and if the harlequin doll wasn’t bought it wouldn’t have been prototyped and if it wasn’t prototyped the Black Queen wouldn’t have made Jack wear the clown hate and Jack wouldn’t have killed her and obtained the ring.
what was the flash where dream jade saved john?
[S] Descend
Wait, so Gamzee WAS being mind controlled?
The only time he was mind control was by Aranea leading up towards the events of [S] GAME OVER.
If the Lil Cal timelines I’ve posted were confusing to you, today’s pre-upd8 is also a Lil Cal timeline so maybe it’ll make more sense to you.
Do you know what song was used in the pre-upd8 flash?
It was the saw theme, I don’t know it’s specific name but you can find out on the sound credits page.
When Rose was in lab next to her house (prior to entering the game) she found an image on the large computer terminal depicting Skaia surrounded by 8 planets. I think she assumed it was a different session. Do you think the game knew all along that the endgame would actually have all 8 kids planets in play? Jade has three from the Beta session and Johns return should also bring his planet with him.
The game definitely knew that the session would become an 8 player but Rose probably was looking at a different session since at the time there were several sessions happening.
Do you think terezi will be blind again? Or do you think she could have still been persuaded by aranea to have her sight fixed
She’ll definitely be blind again I’m positive in that regard.
You are probably sick of all these Lil Cal questions but... Am I right in thinking that Dirk's Cal is "empty" and Bro's Cal has all the souls in it, which probably influenced him to be so... weird...
Yes, that’s what I feel makes the most sense.
So Im still a little fuzzy on the origin of Cal. The one that was on Derse with Dave is the possessed Cal right? The one Caliborn, Equius and Gamzee got sucked into right?
Yep, with Gamzee’s chuckle voodoo and Equius’s void aspect Lil Cal would have no problem navigating the void and entering peep’s dreams.
ok, so i want to know if im understanding todays update, so previously we saw that caliborn, Arquiusprite, and half of gamzee got sucked into little cal, then today we see doc scratch transform into lord english after his death, would this mean that because doc scratch was created form little cal and the cue ball that the souls of caliborn, Arquiusprite, and gamzee were living inside of him all along waiting to appear?
The souls were inside both Doc Scratch and Lil Cal since Doc Scratch wasn’t made from Cal himself but an ectoclone of him.
isnt janes birthday 11/11
Jane’s birthday is 4/13. 11/11 is when the Alpha kids started their session.
Was it the presence of Equius' soul that got Cal so damn ripped?
I’m gonna say no, because Equius wasn’t ripped, given his STRENGTH he obviously had some muscle but he wasn’t nearly as jacked up, beefy as LE is. He may have contributed but I doubt he was the sole reason.
whose are alpha kids' biological parents
They don’t have biological parents, they’re clones of themselves.
Hi, possible dumb question but, Has the 'really big thing' in Jakes puzzle modus been explained yet? I cant remember. Sorry im a silly ( ~////~)
Yes, it was part of his house that he captachalogued after it got blown up when he was little.
So how did Equius influence LE/Doc Scratch?
Doc Scratch definitely has some Equius personality traits. His yes-no thing, his treatment of lowbloods and his overal general creepiness
So basically gamzee was never mind controlled by cal he was just influenced by his bad half?
Pretty much
What exactly is Adagio Redshift?
Adagio Redshift is a Fraymotif which essentially is a special ability/attack that players can buy in shops on their planets. Very little is known about the specific of Fraymotifs as they haven’t been explored in canon very much. What we can assume is that each player has three personal Fraymotifs as well as one combo Fraymotif for every other player.
What is the 8-player session you were talking about? Is it just the Kids' session when the Beta and Alpha combine?
That’s one of them, yes, but there were most likely other 8-player sessions going on.
What's the song that played in the newest Flash? Those violins sound incredibly familiar, maybe from a Metal Gear or Call of Duty game?
It was the Saw theme. For everyone’s information you can see what sounds are used in every flash if you click on Credits on the top of the page and go to Sound Credits.
You probably got tons of asks like this one but what's a fraymotif?
It’s a special ability or attack that players can purchase.
Doc Scratch was behind a lot of Alternian culture, likely including the rules of the hemospectrum, which Equius was a strong believer in.
Yep
What would be the required circumstances in which Gamzee and Fef enter a red relationship?
I’m sure there are people that’d argue it but I really don’t see a way :/
why does sollux have two dream selves sorry if this has been asked recently
Because his duality theme runs that deep
Do you feel that the universal constant of "Dad" will ever be explained, and do you have any theories on him?
My guesses aside from nanna/poppop getting laid would be either he’s adopted or nanna/poppop made him ectobiologically.
But y'know if Grandpa Harley could have another kid I don’t see why Nanna couldn’t too.
Are you Andrew Hussie?
Possibly
Is Davesprite dead now?
Retconned Davesprite, yes. But did he hitch a ride from the preretcon timeline? Possibly. We’ll find out soon enough.
