Going back to this page, it looks like the Prospitians repaired their buildings for Jake's funeral. Either they are quick workers, or the funeral took a while to happen, or Andrew just didn't think that much about it when drawing the panels.

I think CD assassinated Jake earlier and they're only now getting around to killing Jane as well.

Haha, the lyrics of this thing are half in Latin and half in Quenya. I thought that cover font looked rather tengwaresque. It's massively kitschy but I love it. I'm the turbonerd, it's me. (Although not enough of one to really judge how well the Latin lyrics square with the chosen classicist pronunciation, say.)

I clearly just want to be a good friend and bring all my AMAZING FRIENDLINESS to bear on your problems.
You know, now that I think about it, it makes a lot of sense that Prospit and Derse inevitably end up going to war against each other. I mean, look at the planets. They are entirely giant cities, and before players enter the medium the only planet with any actual vegetation is Skaia, and that's where the actual farms are anyway. If two normally completely out of contact planets had to share the same resource to survive, they would end up competing for and clashing over said resource.

Having taken a little bit of Latin, the only problem I found pronunciation wise was that vento should be pronounced wento.

That was never really a thing. At some point during act 5.2 it turned out that it was all Vriska practising her cross-session skills, which I assume is why Radiochromatic brought her up at all.

I think it was established that Jade didn't have narcolepsy. It just appeared that way because Vriska was constantly testing her skills on Jade.

Jade had narcolepsy because Vriska kept testing freaky mind powers on her. I strongly suspect this is no longer the case

Vriska was a character in Homestuck who appeared in a couple of acts. Vriska had a computer.

Vriska is a shortening of "Vrishchika", the Hindi name for Scorpio, or could be related to "Vṛścika" the Sanskrit word for scorpion, but could also refer to KALPAVRIKSHA, a wish-fulfilling tree below the fourth chakra according to Zentra Yoga. This tree is said to fulfill both positive and negative wishes, again corresponding with the duality of Vriska Serket's personality.

Clearly the explosion blew her up and over the tree, concussing her severely. Her character arc will focus mainly on her heroic efforts to relearn how to speak and walk. Also, the bunny has a name, you know.
