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
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???
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
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.
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.
So why did Dirk kill himself and make Jake his his severed head in the synchronization? He woke up Jake so he didn't need to be revived via kiss. Did he need to die to wake up as his dreamself? why couldn't he have just gone to sleep?
His dreamself was knocked out, he needed Jake to kiss his head to wake him up so that he could rescue Roxy and Jane and travel back in time via teleporter in order to wake up Jake so he could kiss him. It’s some paradox bullshit, but it was necessary.
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
This is off topic to the recent events, but what exactly *are* the red miles? Are they a power that all ring-wearers can utilize, and what was that green miles that jack used in [s] wake?
Yes, bearers of the Queens’ Rings (or at least carapacian wearers) can unleash the Red Miles.
The Green Miles are the Red Miles infused with Green Sun energy
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
Just want to say thanks so much for keeping up with all of the dumb bullshit, weird time shenanigans, and general craziness of Homestuck to a near obsessive level for all this time. You are a treasure to this fanbase!
Thank you so much! I have a knack for understanding time shenanigans so it’s always a pleasure helping other people try to figure it out :3
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.
Sorta stupid question. Where is Caliborn? Because he is talking to his Denizen but I thought he was like becoming Lord English? Or are there multiple versions of him?
He’s in the core of Earth/The Land of Colours and Mayhem. The popular theory is that there’s multiple Caliborns, but it’s yet to be proven in canon, so stay tuned.
