Where doing it man

[Archem]

The crab-like horn stuff? Cancer? Bluh bluh huge switch?

[SaiKar]

I'm not buyin' it, at least not without stronger clues from the next pages. What does Karkat have to do with being a judge? Judge Tyranny was mentioned by Terezi way back when she was being introduced. He's a separate character. And, if I want to meta this a little bit, I'm pretty sure that the very concept of the trolls even having the ancestors hadn't been thought of at that point.

[Archem]

I'm not totally sure if I buy it, either. I'm just pointing out the likely reasons for Razor's conclusion.

[Razor]

Well I don't know the MUTANT CANDY BLOOD RED colouring gave me the idea.
Anyway, reading the forums, while Andrew himself seemingly mocked the idea of that being his ancestor, some of the fantheories were a little more compelling. And its not like Andrew is an easily read person.

Time will tell?

[SaiKar]

If he is, he is. As for me, I don't think there's nearly enough reason to suspect that. I try not to injulge in fandom too much - I find it warps the fans' sense of what's actually canon for the material.

[SaiKar]

I think today's update pretty much proves my point.

[Razor]

What, how he was killed offscreen the moment he appeared? You're probably right.

lol at Equius' ancestor being called "Darkleer"

[Archem]

He may need a towel.

[Grandy]

I just finished reading skimming all most of Homestuck.

I am confused to no end.

[SaiKar]

That's the normal state of things. I was going to do a situation summary before I realized that this comic has like 50 characters and I can't remember what more than a handful are up to.

[Archem]

Don't skim, it makes things a thousand times worse.

[Grandy]

Don't skim, it makes things a thousand times worse.

Given how some of the chum pestering can lead to exceptionally verbose pages, not skimming is not an option.

I do understand the key points, though.

The four chums are going to try and blow up the Green Sun, which would make Jack Noir not be god-tier and thus make the game winnable.

Trolls are going currently through puberty which in their species means murderous ranpages, and that means quite a few of them are currently dying for good. Currently dead for good are:

Tavros
Nepeta
Equius
Feferi

Not dead are:
Karkat - Escaping Gamzee with Sollux
Sollux -blinded-
Aradia -risen to god tier, can only be killed in a just or heroic way-
Terezi -Few steps away from being killed by Gamzee-
Gamzee -Awakened his true blood thanks to Dave showing him a video of Insane Clown Posee, currently in a murderous ranpage-
Vriska - killed Tavros but feels bad for her backstabbing nature, is currently heavly ship-tease'd with John. Also, God-tier.
Eridan - Gave up all hope and decided to defect to Jack Noir's side to be spared.
Kanaya - Was dead but awakened as a troll-vampire.

All players are created by the game in order to be chosen ones for the game.

People who die irl can awaken as their dream-selves, if trolls die and still have a dream-self they can be revived.


Things I do not understand:

Who actually are the Midnight Crew

Lots of small details pertaining time traveling

How THIS KEEPS ON HAPENING BRO

[SaiKar]

Remarkably decent summary, best I can understand things myself. Only correction I can think of is that Eridan is also dead. Killed by crazed vampire Kanaya. Nepeta is maybe possible not dead since we never really saw her die, but it's a very safe bet at this point.

Who actually are the Midnight Crew

In the context of the story, they are archagents of Derse that do various nefarious things. Once Spade goes all regicide they basically take over running the badguy show.

Lots of small details pertaining time traveling

Really, it's better off not thinking too much about them.

How THIS KEEPS ON HAPENING BRO

It's because of the stairs. I warned you. I WARNED YOU ABOUT THE STAIRS.

[HobomasterXXX]

Reading the wiki always makes me discover some obscure bullshit I would never normally pick up on. Like how all the Denizens are actually named after their respective kid's web browser. And that retarded looking snake thing in the foyer of Jade's house actually looks like the logo for John's web browser.

Thank you. I forgot Eridan died, yeah. Honestly that happened so fast I was like

Nepeta is maybe possible not dead since we never really saw her die, but it's a very safe bet at this point.

Yeah, Gamzee was wearing her hat and he killed everyone up to that point. I'm afraid it doesn't et clearer than that.

However, this IS Homestuck. AFAIK she was past Nepeta that was supposed to die because of a 50/50 bet or somethin.

In the context of the story, they are archagents of Derse that do various nefarious things. Once Spade goes all regicide they basically take over running the badguy show.

Okay, but what's with the killing the time-controlling gangsters? I read that was actually Jack from the Troll's version of the game and that Snowball is their version of the dark queen, but how did they end up in that wherever it is?

Really, it's better off not thinking too much about them.

True enough. To be fair it's one of the heavy time-traveling plots that I'm least confused about.



also, one more doubt I remembered: How did Aradia die? The first time I mean. Her first appearance was already of a ghost.

I remember Vriska manipulating Sollux to do it, but I was confused because he was holding a pot of mind honey, and that seemed to be the present sollux then, the one who accidentally put mind honey in his mouth and went ciclops insane.

Also, take that paragraph out of context and imagine some random citizen tryiong to make heads out of tails of what I've written.
