I'm pretty sure LE, )(IC and Bec Noir are just random kids trick or treating as mythological characters. The Condesce doesn't look anything like Roxy - she has long hair, LE has Terezi horns and not Karkat's and both of them are way too tiny and kiddy-ish to be our 16~20 year old characters. The carapace is also probably not WV since they're so small and amidst two random kids.

Blaperile has a good point. THIS Pumpkin would still make for a good song to put these flashes up against. If Andrew insists on posting them in flash form. Alterniatively: Pumpkin Party. (See what I did there?) So, while we were reacting to the previous snaps, the hourly snap was posted already. And it's almost getting time for the next one!I'm guessing that when Andrew's done with this batch, he'll update MSPA.com immediately again. Reaction under the cut! ---
Ahaahahh, the SBAHJ crew. I guess this might confirm the Lord English costumed troll as Terezi? If that weren't random kids trick-or-treating.
Hell yes. And the WARNE sign above the stairs to top it off.
Pfff, Dirk as Sweet BRO, Dave as Hella Jeff. This is so complete and pure.
... Hah, the caption. Dave probably means Karkat as Geromy is problematic because Geromy is supposed to be a person of colour. I think Karkat just liked going as Geromy because of the six-letter name, or at least that was one of his reasons.
Dave, what a shitty hair job. I mean, he even coloured his bangs skin colour, ahahahah. And he alchemized a shitty spoon to complete the outfit, and used grey face paint(!) for the mouth. Maybe he got some from Calliope.
I have to wonder what kind of artifact-y candy Dave hands out on Halloween. I'm pretty sure LE, )(IC and Bec Noir are just random kids trick or treating as mythological characters. The Condesce doesn't look anything like Roxy - she has long hair, LE has Terezi horns and not Karkat's and both of them are way too tiny and kiddy-ish to be our 16~20 year old characters. The carapace is also probably not WV since they're so small and amidst two random kids. Eh, depends on whether Andrew is drawing these or a contributing artists with certain length and hair headcanons/preferences.

Aaaand there's the 4th Halloween snap! Ahahaha, Dirk, Dave and Karkat as Sweet Bro, Hella Jeff and Geromy. HELL YES. Dirk and Dave put quite some thoughts in their costumes, actually. I especially like how Dave painted a porkchop mouth on top of his normal mouth. Now that's some dedication! And OF COURSE they're posing right in front of stairs. For a second I was a bit confused what Dave meant with his comment, but plainWonder's probably right that he means how Karkat's dressed up as a character who's normally black, hehe. In any case, this rules out Karkat as the Lord English cosplayer in the previous snap, who was my third option behind Terezi and "random boy or girl". Now that I'm talking about the previous snap, I like how this "Jack" is carrying a pumpkin that looks just like WV's from back on Earth! Aaah, fond memories. Also, I wonder if these Halloween snaps are going to put in a flash as well. I kind of think they won't be, but if they are, I definitely think "THIS Pumpkin" would be a great choice! Alternatively, Pumpkin Party in Sea Hitler's Water Apocalypse, maybe. I'm pretty sure LE, )(IC and Bec Noir are just random kids trick or treating as mythological characters. The Condesce doesn't look anything like Roxy - she has long hair, LE has Terezi horns and not Karkat's and both of them are way too tiny and kiddy-ish to be our 16~20 year old characters. The carapace is also probably not WV since they're so small and amidst two random kids. Fair points!

That seems like a stretch to me - nothing of this kind happened in the credits snaps (or any other one from this batch so far, for that matter). Not to mention the human kid looks very blatantly nothing like Roxy, imo - she doesn't just have longer-than-normal hair, it looks completely different from hers. Jade-length, even. LE can't be Terezi, either - they're not blind.

Updates started right around noon east coast. There are 5 now. By the time there are eleven it will be 10 PM eastern time. That may mean there will be an update at 11 tonight, to fall on Halloween instead of being midnight the next day.
But don't hold me to that.

'karkat is problematic nobody tell him'
I just got the simultaneous urge to laugh and vomit. Oh, Hussie, you beautiful bastard.

I think it's also important to note the glow coming from the bottom of the picture near the carapacian's feet, indicating that the picture taker is standing on the inside of a house. So, it makes sense to assume that these are kids who are trick-or-treating. It also seems like most of the Halloween festivities are happening in the troll kingdom at Dave, Jade and Karkat's place.

Oh, yeah - on updates... I dunno. If this takes a turn towards the dark and scary (and plot relevant) in some form, I could see it being posted on the site. Otherwise... Maybe it'll be uploaded to the youtube channel only? These sort of post-canon snapfests could be one of the things they're planning on having there from now on.

What if after some time, the snapchats depict the humnas leaving to fight English, and from then on out we have a few series of snapchats depicting Karkat and Kanaya getting old including a memorial for the missing, presumed dead, heroes, then the snapchats just come from random people generations later with the last one depicting whatever event wiped out all life on Earth. Would that be dark and canon enough?

New Snapchat posted! Got the Ghostbusters reference out of the way (and a reference to the new movies nonetheless). Love how they are chasing the Nannasprites.

Say, this probably marks the first time that a troll is wearing regular clothes (like Karkat is doing here as Geromy) without their symbol on it? ... Except for Kankri, Blaperile pointed out to me. So, the next two snaps must be up, I'm guessing we'll see the others in their chosen outfit now. Blaperile has a good idea, maybe Jade, Jane and Calliope recreated their trollsona outfits! --- > SNAP 5 JASPROOOOOOOOOOOSEEEEE!!!! CONFIRMATION! I wonder which kingdom she hangs out normally though. ... Probably all of them, zapping around like GCat. Ahahahahah, that's the most shitty outfit yet. Then again, her normal attire is already cartoonish. Pffff, but she didn't make separate holes for her whiskers, that must sit very uncomfortable. Pffff, GCATavrosprite went as Grandpa. ... Poor taste, he killed the guy after all! And I really hope the blunderbuss gun is a prop, I don't trust him with it. ... A turtle going as a turtle. Protect his innocent soul. And a salamander using his secret wizard robe as a cape. Nawwwwwwww. Crocodile in Dad's outfit. ... Oh, I get it! Because Dad's a businessman and LOHAC had the LOHACSE, hahahah. BUY NAK SELL DOOF. OOOOOH! Blaperile has a good point. The past snaps have been switching between kingdoms. First Can Town, where John & Co. are hanging out, then on to a troll community where Roxy(?) and her group are trick or treating, and on to the consort kingdom, it seems. Heh, if that pattern holds, not the next snap but the one after that will take us to the human kingdom. Or no, Blaperile points out that the backdrop is Derse-like, this is the carapace kingdom. So they might visit the consort kingdom yet. --- > SNAP 6 Ooooooh!!! Ghostbusters outfit! Hahahah, and the "prey" are both the Nannasprites. Hah, confirmation that Nanna's still a twin. Heh, okay, so Jade, Jane, and Roxy(!) ... Together with Calliope! Heh, she's wearing a bowtie on her outfit. Still a thing. I think John would get a kick out of this selfie. So yeah, it wasn't Roxy, just a bunch of kids trick or treating at Karkat and Dave's hive. Heheheh. Does this mean that transportation is so easy between the kingdoms, or that there are humans and consorts living in the neighborhood as well, in one of those hives? Neat. Blaperile has the idea we might see Caliborn & Gamzee & Seb trick or treating. Caliborn would be going as Cal, no question. But do I want to know what Gamzee - or the Felt, if they're joining in - would go as? I wonder what exactly Calliope thinks is ghoulish about Ghostbusters in particular, given her different inclinations. Maybe just the allusion to entrapping or exterminating ghosts à la Lord English. I like the indication we get from these snaps that the kids can still visit the other kingdoms at a whim. They're not bound by regal or entrepreneurial obligations. Eh, depends on whether Andrew is drawing these or a contributing artists with certain length and hair headcanons/preferences. That seems like a stretch to me - nothing of this kind happened in the credits snaps (or any other one from this batch so far, for that matter). Not to mention the human kid looks very blatantly nothing like Roxy, imo - she doesn't just have longer-than-normal hair, it looks completely different from hers. Jade-length, even. LE can't be Terezi, either - they're not blind. But apparently I was for missing that. >.< Yeah, this means this is the first good-ish look at a non-baby Universe C human!

Hehe, I just realized Karkat's mouth in that picture of him, Dave and Dirk is kind of like their mouths. Just a straight line. Oh man, I wonder how many more costumes we're going to see! Calliope, Jane and Jade up next, perhaps? In their Troll costumes from the Dreambubbles? Onwards we go! *Snap 5*JASPROSESPRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITE!!!!!!!!! Holy shit! She's here too!!! I didn't expect her to be shown so soon after not appearing in the Credits! So, that confirms that she did not go to the Furthest Ring in search for Davepetasprite^2 or anything, she did actually come along to Earth! N'aww. Pfff, she just put a pumpkin on her head and left it at that. And oh my god GCatavrosprite put on a Grandpa outfit, ahahaha. I just love how during the entirety of Homestuck there's all these things going on between Jake and Tavros, I mean really. First Tavros killed Grandpa, then Jake killed a member of Tavros' lusus's species, then Jake and Tavros became best friends, and now Tavros is wearing a Grandpa outfit. I just love this. And yay for Consorts! Hehehe, a Salamander going as superhero! N'aww. I like how Salamanders using John's bedsheets continues to be a thing. And then the Crocodile going as Dad. Dad's costume really does quite rub off on many people, doesn't it? THAT TURTLE THOUGH. GOING AS A TURTLE. Imagination = low, but cuteness = THROUGH THE ROOF. Interestingly, it looks like GCatavrosprite and Jasprosesprite^2 are in the Carapace Kingdom. And I hadn't really thought about it yet, but those trick or treating people are in the Troll Kingdom, and we've also seen Can Town separately. So it's not like everyone's coming together for some giant Halloween party, they're all having Halloween fun separately! And hey, this is also yet another indication that the "kingdoms" aren't limited to just one species, the Consorts are perfectly fine in the Carapace Kingdom here. *Snap 6*WHO YOU GONNA CALL. GHOSTBUSTERS!!!!!! Oh hell fucking yes!!! So Jane, Roxy, Calliope, and Jade dressed up as Ghostbusters!!! Oh man this is probably a reference to the most recent Ghostbusters movie, which featured an entirely female cast of Ghostbusters. And ahahaha, OF COURSE the Nannasprites are the ghosts they're chasing! Perfection. And hey, this confirms that the second Nannasprite came along to Earth as well! That's good to know as well. So they're in the Carapace Kingdom as well! Perhaps Gcatavrosprite and Jasprosesprite^2 will even join in on their ghosthunting fun, hehe. Anyway, this also confirms that Roxy is NOT the "Condesce girl" there. And now that we've seen all 3 other human females, that rules them out as well! So yeah, those 3 were probably just random people. Also, I'm really happy that Calliope was the one to make this snap. It's been way to long since we've last seen some dialogue from her! It's great to see she's doing fine. So, who haven't we seen in their Halloween outfits yet? I assume Terezi's not an option seeing as she's in the Furthest Ring and probably won't be celebrating Halloween, and same thing with all the other people in the Furthest Ring. Maybe a snap of WV and PM from a past Halloween? Bonus points if it also shows B1 Jack. Other than that, Arquiusprite, maybe? Depending on where he is. I'd give so much to see the second Jaspersprite and Erisolsprite too. ...Oh man. I wonder if Caliborn, Gamzee and Lil Seb are celebrating Halloween too. I'd love to see those outfits, haha.

Semi-related Question: What are the odds that we will see more updates happen through Snapchat on other major holidays, like Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New Year?

Semi-related Question: What are the odds that we will see more updates happen through Snapchat on other major holidays, like Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New Year? That would be great, but I'd also like to see them in regular situations. Like Dad shopping at the Dadly Depot, and seeing hairless carapaces and consorts buy shaving cream.

LE can't be Terezi, either - they're not blind. Whoops, I can't believe I didn't think of that thing either. Yeah that's very good evidence that it isn't Terezi. Oh, yeah - on updates... I dunno. If this takes a turn towards the dark and scary (and plot relevant) in some form, I could see it being posted on the site. Otherwise... Maybe it'll be uploaded to the youtube channel only? These sort of post-canon snapfests could be one of the things they're planning on having there from now on. Hmm, that's actually a pretty good idea! I could see them doing that. Perhaps next snapchat series will be 11/11, and then 12/25 and 01/01? Yeah, it's hard to tell if this is meant to be taken as canon in the way that the credits scenes were. But I guess time will tell. Seeing as they're coming from the official MSPA Snapchat and from the same place where the snaps from the Credits came from, I assume we're meant to take these as canon. Though I'm pretty curious as to whether or not this is taking place after John's 20th birthday.
