My least favorite implied paring in the Credits is Dirk x Jake. I mean, we already saw how well they work together romantically, so why are they suddenly happy together now? Speaking as a non Dirk  Jake shipper here, I think that pairing is still somewhat salvagable. Both of them realized what they'd done wrong and willing to improve themselves. I think that if both of them actively worked on that, they could become a couple again. Again, I'm saying that as a non Dirk Jake shipper. My personal preference still goes to Jane Jake or Jake deciding to not get into a relationship at all, but I could see either of these three options working out, personally. |

Rewatching the flash a couple more times, some things stuck out. There are little bonsai trees / branches in bottles in Karkat's hive. Another sign Jade lives with him and Dave. The front door has a crab for a handle, and a warning sign for the stairs. Oh Dave. There's a forest very close by to the hive, so maybe that's where Terezi set up shop when she lived on Earth? At their arrival 5000 years in the future, John has a short sleeved skirt. On his 20th birthday, he's wearing a long sleeved shirt. A nod to it having changed a few times in the comic. John's smartphone seems to be an Apple device, even though I think he was more of a Windows user. So, a birthday gift from Dave? All caught up with the thread by the way. You know, they skipped ahead 5,000, and it just occurred to me the implications of that. That's like almost as long as written history and they already had a head start technology-wise. Why are they still using newspapers and cell phones with Snapchat? Why are the kingdoms so neatly divided and peaceful? Why do they still remember their creators? Snapchat might have been re-introduced by them to the societies on Earth. The B2 kids would have had access to it. Newspapers seem to be the carapaces preferred way of communication. Maybe it has to do with an ingrained tendency towards (medieval-type) monarchies. The peace between the kingdoms might just be due to this being the Ultimate Reward universe. Alternatively, co-existing with different sentient species might be easier than we'd think. Or maybe some pacifying consort or carapacian genes were spread across the other races by the ectobiology. We still have stories dating back as far as 5000 years, right? Or at least, worldbuilding tales from later on that start as far back. If people with the heads of birds, crocodiles and jackals with magical powers would appear in our sky, we'd be able to identify them as the Egyptian gods. And so he thinks killing young Caliborn will stop it? I mean surely he realizes that changing the past to such a great extent would also undo everything they accomplished, right? Good point. Maybe he decided the risk of getting erased was worth the chance at retroactively saving Paradox Space. They're older now, they might have a greater sense of responsibility. Callie is not confirmed to be 17. While Hussie said 11 units is roughly 13 years, that's probably not how cherubs progress, and she might be anywhere from still 11 to 26 by now depending on cherub age. Can you link to where it confirms he said this? After that? Maybe more video games from What Pumpkin Studios, maybe some other comics. I don't have a TON of faith that he'll be doing more MSPaint Adventures after constantly one-upping himself in the format, but if he does I personally hope it's something a bit more on the simple, goofy, for-fun side of things along the lines of Jailbreak or Problem Sleuth instead of something as heavily plot-based as Homestuck. >Problem Sleuth >simple  I mean, comparatively yes, but... Problem Sleuth 2 confirmed as becoming a real thing! You heard it first here folks! By the way, I would like to point out that the kingdoms are not racially segregated. They are segregated by species. Because each species actually has different needs. Also, whatever happened to the Denizensame and the Imps? Any clues? It depends on whether the session's planets were brought into Universe C. I don't think the Denizens could floorish on Earth, since they're used to hang out in planet cores. As for the Underlings, they might have come over, but I don't think anyone but the consorts, Nannasprite or GCATavrosprite would be willing to spend much time with them. by the by... aren't earth supposed to be flooded? Forget the flooding, there's a more pressing problem with the Earth that everyone seems to have forgotten. What about the second Gl'bgolyb that )(IC acquired from somewhere and left on Earth. Having any Gl'bgolyb at all is a huge liability to the Trolls for obvious reasons, and good luck trying to put one down without it getting upset. But on top of that, this one specifically seems to have something against Trolls since Dirk's exposition made it sound like it was deliberately countering )(IC's attempts to recreate the Troll race. Well, obviously it at least settled down, given all the troll brood we see, and the grown up trolls. So maybe they killed it, or it died off in the intermediate years while the waters were receding. Or best of all, maybe Jack's Red Miles killed it off. That might be it, since Vriska might not have been able to captchalogue Earth with the beast still alive and wailing on it. Or it would have been a risk keeping it in her own sylladex, we don't know if sounds can escape from the captchalogue media. One kingdom would be a clusterfuck. Each of those kingdoms is probably the territory of a quarter of the planet. Anyway, It's very doubtful the kingdoms disallow other species from visiting or living there if they want. Three of them have other species as their leaders, and the carapacian and consort kingdoms, if I recall correctly, don't even have matching royalty species at all. Speaking of, it occurred to me last night that Dave and the others must have had a hard time saying goodbye to WV and PM to build the society. They're long dead 5000 years later. There's a sad thought for you. Like digiornospizza points out, Dave still has his timetables. It depends on whether Dave swore off timetravelling for good this time, after the 5000 year skip. But perhaps they left them with a communication device like how the B2 kids talked with each other cross-timeline. I mean, it's not that likely, given it would give risks for paradoxes. As for the exiles. I mean, enough time to build a city is one thing, but 5000 years is longer than any single civilization has persisted on earth. It's fifty centuries, a longer unit of time than we've proven anything has lived that wasn't omnipotent. We don't see any sign of them in the future, you think we would if they were still alive. Well, WV's mayoral sash is still in good shape after all that time (if it's the same item Jane is wearing). But yeah, they're probably dead already. That is definitely not WV's sash. The 'R' is the same color and font as "MAYO", and it does not look like it is five thousand years old. It is probably a replica. I mean, that still does not change that it is evidence of WV's death (I still think he might be alive), but it could just be, like, the uniform for all mayors on Earth C. Or WV retired. Or he lost his bid for reelection. ... Oh. Well, then, unless it's an art error, yeah, the sash proves nothing. But apart from that, what are thinking? Of course WV is mayor for life. He might even have taken up farming again in his spare time! When did the exiles ever have access to copy-paste construction? That generally requires the SBURB Server. Exhibit A: Prospit & Derse. Jane, while on earth, could turn random objects into Grist. It appears that Grist isn't just a game construct in Homestuck Better question, when did the exiles ever have access to sylladices? It doesn't seem as if they had any, but there were the stone slabs the consorts used for item requests + the giant stone slab in the form of a captchalogue card on LOLAR. Plus, in a later post you refer to Spades Slick's inventory. His blackjack rules card had a bar code on the back. Maybe his other inventory cards a) have barcodes too, usable for alchemization, and b) can be turned into grist. Heh, I just realized the irony. Spades Slick's inventory may not use the captchaloguing system, but it's still made up out of cards. ... Would he be able to "retrieve" anything from a normal deck of cards, like John's deck he used for 52 pick up and building the house of cards on LOMAX? we did have therealvriskaserket instagram, and that was only used for a little bit. OH WAIT ANDREW MIGHT USE THAT AS A TEASER CONCERNING HER WHEREABOUTS i would love to see this. without announcement. I'd love to see this, great idea! Can you imagine her last instagram before she disappeared? "Greenboy here thinks he can t8ke me on?  ? Imma show this chump who's the real star of this show." or maybe "Why the hell did the sky just open? I didn't even think there WAS a sky in nightmare land." ...that's because a2 session happened literally centuries ago (around 612 betwen trolls' entry and far future alternia iirc), there's nothing confirming that spades is so old It depends on who you think is narrating that sentence. From an objective view point, between the trolls' entry and Spades Slick in the exile station are indeed centuries passed. Even though the scene he's reliving didn't take place on Alternia at all, but in a setting existing askance from the present. But for Spades Slick to be talking about it personally, it would make more sense if the A2 session happened centuries ago from his perspective. It wouldn't just be the Mother Grub that's different for them though. Trolls would presumably still be nocturnal while humans would live during the day, Trolls were nocturnal because of the harsh Alternian sun; it could be that whatever star they put Earth around is far less bright (or alternatively farther away) than that of Alternia. And even if there that has caused some sort of nocturnal instinct in trolls, or for that matter the sun is as bright, that still doesn't bar them from living in the same nation and interacting with humans during dawn and dusk. Heck, many humans in real life modern society live nocturnal lives, working the nightshift and such. "Hey, you working tonight?" "Yeah, Malrek called in sick so I'm taking the troll shift." "Man, good luck. Remember, keep an eye on the vending machine, if these guys get their hands on any soda cans..." Not really a problem, as unless you're having a sleepover, it doesn't really matter if you're neighbor sleeps in the same sort of bed as you. Man, sleepover parties in Can Town must be wild. You think the consorts sleep in straw piles? Carapaces on slabs? That's an example of divergent technology, not a different biological need. There's no reason trolls can't use discs and humans can't use grubs. Presumably one format would eventually win out over the other by being better than the other, and even if they are roughly equivalent, it'd be like different gaming consoles back when they were truly different. And that's if either format still survived through 5,000 years of research and development. Presenting the next generation in data exchange: SilkDisc(TM)! Backwards compatible with all your DVD, BluRay, WurmStream and UltraGrub playing devices! On the subject, I personally was comforted to see Dirk still wrecking Jake's shit mercilessly. It confirmed to me that they didn't magically become radically different people and could still act the ways we recognize them too, only they still get along without it being a big dramatic thing. And at any rate there is some satisfaction to it besides that, since Jake spent half the story since his introduction never being able to actually get in touch with him or interact with him at all. After getting his ass handed to him by a robot doppelganger, finally he's come full circle and get his ass handed to him by the REAL Dirk! Plus, the fact that Jake WILLINGLY takes him on, and has even build a battlebot himself to even the playing field against Sawtooth and Squarewave, makes all the difference. |

When did Jake say he wanted to fix his issues and try again? The last thing we heard from him, he was saying that he should just live asocially and isolated and not bother anyone else with his problems. Remember how much outrage there was that Jake was left with such a shitty, unresolved character arc by the end? Pretty sure that amount of salt wouldn't have happened if there was any decent indication that Jake was going to sort his shit out. |

With the head start they had in terms of advanced Sburb-tech, they should have surpassed anything resembling modern human technology eons ago, yet they seem to be at roughly 2016-earth level technologically. There's something odd about that. |

Maybe grist is hard to come by after all, or the available Sburban machinery is by itself scarce enough that an entire planet's worth of people can't sustain itself with it alone.
Also, what I said about John's shirt is not entirely correct. Seems as if it's only in one picture that he's wearing short sleeves, at the ceremonial ribbon cutting by Jane.

I think plainwonder is trying to say both have figured out their own personal problems, and are willing to improve upon them. Then, having improves on said problems, those problems will be less likely to interfere with a relationship like the first time. |

WV and PM weren't really the talkative type, but Dave definitely had the power to hop back in time for trans-timeline visits, if the desire was ever broached. And should a dweller of the distant past have need to reach them, they could always do that old "leave ancient message to be delivered surreptitiously at relativistically convenient point in far future" trope. I interpreted it as him/them creating an English bot to practice battling against the real thing, but him making a robot that looks like Lord English and fights on his side is admittedly incredibly kickass. Maybe it serves both those functions? I wonder if it's any good at rapping. |

As I rewatched the last part of Homestuck from a few pages before Collide, I had some thoughts. Did we ever see Arquiusprite use his powers to create an actual item out of thin air? He just used his red orange power on Jane’s fridge, but didn’t create a new one, like Nannasprite did. We only know what Dirk was thinking when he looked at Dave before his sacrifice. But what if Spades Slick willingly helped immobilize B2 Jack in the right spot. Not that I’d ever have looked for the “self-sacrifice” trait in Jack Noir. We didn’t yet get confirmation that Hussieland is on Future Universe C Earth, but how else did the mechanic curtain-thingy from the end of Collide end up there? The Technicolor horse stampede LE summoned… That never went anywhere, apparently. If those horses were real and not Hussie’s imagination, they got sucked into the black hole with LE. Do you think the fireflies, hummingbirds, scarabs etc from the different planets helped to repopulate Earth’s animal and plant kingdom? We see that at least Serenity came with to Earth in Act 7. The kids didn't need to use any sort of display or gizmo to paradoxify the ectoslime for the other blood castes. The receptacles in the original machine Karkat used for his ectobiology session are still filled with the ectoslime of the A2 trolls (in the mixture used to create the A1 trolls / A2 ancestors). As for the carapaces, maybe PM and WV are literally the Adam and Eve (or Lilith) of the new carapace kingdom - presuming they accompanied them to the meteor. Maybe that is why Dave and Jade went to meet them? To invite them along for the ectobiology session? Okay sure, we didn’t see them at any point during the rest of the trip, up until the babies arrived in Can Town. Alternatively, they just used whatever carapace DNA was available on the meteor, inside the test tubes. That would mean the carapace kingdom is also partially populated by relatives of the Midnight Crew. I think Blaperile is trying to say both have figured out their own personal problems, and are willing to improve upon them. Then, having improves on said problems, those problems will be less likely to interfere with a relationship like the first time. FTFY. I understand the mix-up though, Blaperile and I being bros and all.  Personally, I'm not sure what to think of Jake and Dirk. Like it was said, Jake mentions he'd rather just isolate himself from all that relationship hubbub. And Dirk and Jane agreed that their worshipping view of Jake has kind of been shattered with all the woes their attraction has caused them. But that doesn't mean they couldn't have changed their mind, 3 years having passed in between and all. WV and PM weren't really the talkative type, but Dave definitely had the power to hop back in time for trans-timeline visits, if the desire was ever broached. And should a dweller of the distant past have need to reach them, they could always do that old "leave ancient message to be delivered surreptitiously at relativistically convenient point in far future" trope. Well, they're not talkative as long as we're not "being" them. We know they can communicate among themselves, and depending on how much you believe in Dave and Karkat's comments, WV is a good conversational partner. I interpreted it as him/them creating an English bot to practice battling against the real thing, but him making a robot that looks like Lord English and fights on his side is admittedly incredibly kickass. Maybe it serves both those functions? I wonder if it's any good at rapping. While it might be used for both purposes, we actually see that Dirk is just fighting Jake head on (and kicking his ass). That would kind of defeat the purpose of the bot as a training dummy for fighting Lord English. As far as rapping goes, Englishbot (Robolord?) probably doesn't have that function, if Jake created it solo. (Depends on how much his skills in that area improved.) But I've said it before and I'll say it again: picture this: GCATavrosprite-Squarewave rapoffs. |

Did we ever see Arquiusprite use his powers to create an actual item out of thin air? He just used his red orange power on Jane’s fridge, but didn’t create a new one, like Nannasprite did. I'm sure, due to Equius' astonishing strength, he wouldn't particularly feel the need to create objects to cause harm. Then again, I don't know if I saw him throwing any punches. Maybe attacking indirectly and mostly infuriating his opponents is more his speed? To reference obliquely to an outdated theory, that's a rather Doc Scratch-esque quality, I think. Even though the kids were clearly his enemies as much as the other Jack, it was sort of bizarre how he dropped what he was doing to go chain-headlock him. Maybe he sensed his defeat was near, and wanted to be at least partially responsible for it no matter what? To be honest, it's pretty easy to chalk that moment up to contrivance for the sake of achieving the end result. Come to think of it, maybe this is why they went through the trouble of finding this lab, because they were down a few members and didn't have a sample of the entire troll genome. (This also makes me think that among the 8 kids exists just about every genetic trait in humanity, expressed in dominant or recessive genes between them all. Maybe that's how/why they are created the way they are? And makes the repopulation thing a little easier for any successful session and its players. |

When did Jake say he wanted to fix his issues and try again? The last thing we heard from him, he was saying that he should just live asocially and isolated and not bother anyone else with his problems. Remember how much outrage there was that Jake was left with such a shitty, unresolved character arc by the end? Pretty sure that amount of salt wouldn't have happened if there was any decent indication that Jake was going to sort his shit out. While it's not much, when talking to Tavrosprite, he said: JAKE: Dirk is still way off somewhere so i cant address THAT whole spicy meatball which i still feel terrible about.Which implies he did want to do something about that situation. And judging from what we see them doing on the Lillypad platform and on Earth, it looks like they made up with each other. The fact that they did is a pretty good indication they're both working on their issues, otherwise I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be such good friends again like we see during the 3 years after the game ended. |

The third picture is pretty interesting and probably solves the question of racial segregation as a human, a troll and a carapacian are seen trick-or-treating together. So, this implies that all the species do coexist to some degree.

Oh shiiit, Halloween snaps! So, looks like the Caliborn's eyes thing wasn't 'just' a 413 + 612 reference after all but WAS actually referencing a Halloween update, daaaang. xD Oh man, let's see what this is... *Snap 1* Ooooh, night in Can Town!  Hehe, and pumpkins of course. Either they're celebrating Halloween, or it's just because Carapacians like pumpkins so much, as we've already seen.  I guess this is probably 5000 years in the future? Or is this when Can Town is newly built? *Snap 2* 5000 years in the future it is! Hahaha, oh man. Kanaya and Rose dressed up as each other's Ancestors, that's perfect. It feels so wrong though. Jake's dressed up as the guy from Avatar, right? And hahaha, YES! John's dressed up as Problem Sleuth! Hell fucking yes. ...He doesn't look very happy though? Or is it just me? The question is, WHEN is this taking place though? Like, is this chronologically after the last snaps we saw during the flash? "april 2009 was a good time for old earth to stop making movies" Pffffffff, so that's why John didn't look so happy. He's embarassed by Jake's Avatar cosplay, ahahaha. xD I hadn't even considered that John wouldn't know of Avatar's existence yet, hehe. Jake's cosplay must be giving him a very, very wrong impression of that movie. *Snap 3* ...WOW. Wait... who are those? Are those Roxy, Terezi and WV...? I'm pretty sure about WV here (though goddammit the small headcanon again though), but I'm not sure about the other two. Roxy's "hair" looks a bit different, and "Terezi's" hair and mouth look like Karkat's. BUT IN ANY CASE. Hahaha, they're cosplaying as Homestuck bad guys!!! Awesome. These are pretty good cosplays! I like how the Condesce's clam is included here. Are they arriving at the same place from the previous snap where John, Jake, Rose and Kanaya are? Wait... WV's (supposedly) there. So what's the chronology here? I'm pretty confused. ... After some more thinking, I think that for now I'm just going to assume these 3 are random people from the city and not actual named characters. That seems to be the most sensible option right now. |

HOPY SHIT! According to Blaperile, new snaps are coming out EVERY 20 MINUTES??? SURPRISE HALLOWEEN UPDATE, MOTHER FUCKER! I hope this isn't someone's idea of a joke though. We don't have any means to confirm the veracity of screenshots posted only. The 31 in Caliborn's eyes in the last snap was a foreshadowing! I'm not sure what to expect. It would be kind of ridiculous for the kids to have been taking snaps during the Masterpiece from their perspective. Then again, maybe that's going to be the format Andrew wishes to use for the epilogue??? I wonder how Andrew is going to bring these snaps to MSPA.com. Putting them to music each time might take away from the special feeling the Credits gave us. So, will these series of snaps bring the 'present' for the kids up to speed with ours? Reaction under the cut! --- Snap 1 Ooooh, this is a picture of Can Town by night... On Halloween, to be exact! Heheheh, we can see some carved pumpkins. I wonder what faces the carapaces carved into them. Probably  But hey, this is Can Town BEFORE the 5000 year skip, is it not? The buildings are rather basic. Guess there's only one way to find out right. This might just be the carapaces' preferred style when they're not busy building cathedrals. --- Snap 2 PFFFFF. Kanaya going as Mom while Rose is dressed as the Dolarosa. Hell yes. Not that inventive, but hell yes. Oh my god, Jake is weirding them out going as a blue alien from Avatar with only a loincloth. And John is wearing a fedora, is he going as his dad? Wait, candy corn fangs, pffff Problem Sleuth ftw! So, still not confirmed this isn't 5000 years in the future, but at least it isn't Can Town after the kids have departed. I'm kind of wondering if this isn't in the Can Town BEFORE the time skip though. I wonder if this is just a little plot-less interchange or if anything is going to happen in this series of snaps. "april 2009 was a good time for old earth to stop making movies" PFFFFFF. The reason John is looking so serious is this picture isn't because he's busy with the camera. NOR is it because he's not feeling down to party. It's that he's also weirded out by Jake's costume, hahaahahahah. Heheheh, this update has brought us even more new outfits for the kids. > Everyone: Engage Gambit Schema. --- Snap 3 OOOOOOOHHHHHH. ROXY AS CONDESCE, KARKAT AS ENGLISH, WV AS JACK NOIR? At least, I think it's them, coming to join the party? It kind of looks like Courtyard Droll. And "Karkat"'s horns look big. Hmm. It MIGHT be people from the neighbourhood coming to trick or treat? Then it's definitely 5000 years later. But if not, then these guys really have a wicked sense of humour, I'll give them that. Then again, your costume is supposed to be scary. They just took it to mean "scary for me", too. That hive in the background has purple panes, heheh. Hivebend reference! Oh, but if this is Karkat, whose hive are they at, Rose and Kanaya's? --- Those... were all the snaps for now? Well, that's just crazy. It seems Andrew is posting a little post-canon sidestory for Halloween. If this replaces Paradox Space as periodic new material, I could live with that! |

 Oh shiiit, Halloween snaps! So, looks like the Caliborn's eyes thing wasn't 'just' a 413 + 612 reference after all but WAS actually referencing a Halloween update, daaaang. xD It wouldn't surprise me if there wasn't a real plan to make anything on halloween, but then people started theorizing and they just went "Well what the hell let's do it" or maybe it would. I dunno anymore. I'm just enjoying this crazy ride for everything it gives me. |

Jake shipper here, I think that pairing is still somewhat salvagable. Both of them realized what they'd done wrong and willing to improve themselves. I think that if both of them actively worked on that, they could become a couple again.
I mean, comparatively yes, but...
