THAT'S SPECTACULAR.
I wonder if this new universe's Rose/Dave will be genderswapped like it seems John/Jade has been? Does that mean we'll get a sword-wiedling cool chick? Ross?

Also, Jane's shirt is amazing and I want one.

Also, if we're going by past events, the humanoid pressing the "==> to continue" button is probably their an exile from this new universe's post-sburb future. Heeeeey! This world has only just been introduced and already it's possibly doomed! Awesome.

Yup. Presumably they will be switching around their own guardians a fair bit. I suspect we'll see the kids as some of their guardians bar one, who will be inevitably dead already (guessing John). Though maybe not!

Side note: Does the letter on the ground confirm that the scratched session still exists, and is accounted for, within paradox space? I was previously under the impression that the scratched session would exist in it's own sphere isolated from the previous session (barring the kid's inevitable intrusion into it) but that letter seems to indicated that the scratched session not only exists in the same timeline as the kid's session, but ALWAYS existed and was necessary for that timeline.

I think I can already tell how the post-scratch session is poised to win their game more effectively than the pre-scratch session. They all have good connections, which gives them the power to start off on a much better foot.

We can already tell, Jane is the heir to the Betty Crocker throne. She has enough at her disposal to build Liv Tyler in her spare time, and she can throw all she has at this.

Mom Lalonde evidently has the kind of ridiculous scientry to just have a fourth wall lying around the house.

Bro Strider's family will clearly have a lot of money from the profits of Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff: THE MOIVE. So he probably has some dangerous gear lying around.

Who knows about Hass Harley, though.

Jane's teddy is dressed up in a purple wizard outfit that looks like Derse clothing, I wonder if the planets the dreamers are on have switched too?

EDIT: Ahg, time shenanigans again, if this session is occurring in the past of the kid's session, how does SWAJ already exist. Dave only got the idea from Terezi.

I'm betting new universe Betty Crocker is none other than the selfsame troll condesce as the batterwitch who raised nanna on prescratch earth.

Consider:
She was never originally part of the universe, and wouldn't have a rescratched version of herself.

She disappeared from earth long before the scratch. Presumably to enter the scratched universe to play the same role all over again.

Jane seems to think the empire is pretty fuckin' aces, so it's possible it's not necessarily a bad, vicious empire.

Having said that, I wouldn't exactly put more money on that than Jane just being sorta sheltered.

Well, it would be the logical conclusion of alt-Dave being a Guardian.

A bunch of callbacks to [S] ACT 5 ACT 2 in there. The use of "Homestuck Anthem" as a remix of "Homestuck", the opening shots zooming in on John/Jane's house (with the contrasting spring/autumn colours), the ending shot with Jane looking into the sky using the same pose as Karkat at the end of [S] A5A2. Nicely done indeed.

You know what is possibly going to be my favourite part about these updates? Is that 2 years ago, we'd look at a situation and wall of text like the one posted today and just think, 'Huh, that's interesting.' Now, however--because we know that everything always ends up being a thing--we're going to be searching through every little detail and comparing it to other potentially circumstantially simultaneous events in a grand effort to predict how this next act will play out.

It's almost as if Andrew had been planning on us reacting like this all along.

It might be one of our trolls, depending on whenwhere they arrive post-scratch in the new world. They could have arrived on post-sburb Earth and have to do time shenanigans to meet up with John and Jade. With two time-gods they certainly can manage such a thing. It would also probably be to their benefit to get the post-scratch swappedfolks to do some stuff to set things up for them later.

Plus Karkat ordering Jane around with ANGRY ALLCAPS would parallel WV nicely.

Well, some of the posters on her walls (the blue guys with moustaches in particular) have got "Happy Birthday!" scrawled on them in green. So I'd guess they're from J, therefore Jane isn't J. So alt-John can easily be Nanna's grandfather.
