Going to guess that it's 11 years in the future. That makes it viable that Dirk and Roxy knew their guardians before they were killed, and also means that the two were contemporary celebrities for Jane and Jake to know. We also don't have to wonder how the two survived after their meteors arrived on Earth decades or centuries after the Earth was taken over. Roxy's Mom and Dirk's Bro probably saw the writing on the wall and made preparations to keep Roxy and Dirk safe and hidden.

Red Miles is basically the meteors for Roxy and Dirk. Something to motivate them to get in the game.

It's a big meteor, so maybe the kids and trolls never find them. Also, if uu is Lord English, then he is already here.

Interesting that both Kankri and Karkat never made use of their elemental powers. The Sufferer did which, combined with his Seer powers, allowed him to remember the old session. So, it probably ties in with ancestry, something that would admittedly not appear to be useful to most kids playing the game.

It's possible that Gamzee never hit god tier, and is faking it for reasons unknown. This flash has shown that the bard outfit Gamzee is wearing IS accurate (Eridan was complaining about god tier Cronus and his codpiece), but why would Gamzee need his god tier outfit assembled unless he's faking god tier. Why fake god tier? I can only imagine that it's to trick someone into thinking that they'll kill him for real (justly), only to trigger his actual ascent into god tier.

While I don't hate this act (Gamzee  ),I never found the authorlog info dump to be all that appealing. So, I'm glad that's over and we can see the Caliborn/Gamzee teamup.

The troll shirts are probably safest since they're just astrology symbols. ...of course you then run the risk of meeting an astrology nut.

Grrl Anachronism posted:I want to know why GCat is there too. During my re-read I realized a very particular looking cat was seen very often at the side of Her Imperial Condescension. On the other hand, it's been stated that the Condesce had been trying to get Dirk and Roxy into the game, and it might also apply to Jane and Jake- GCat could be her little spy, subtly sabotaging everything. So, GCat isn't against them, but it could be at any point.

Plom Bar posted:I'm not saying Jake's faultless here, but every part of his characterization up until this point predicts this to a T. Jane told him she had no feelings for him. He believes literally everything he's told. Even now, he still believes it. If Jane had been honest when confronted, she could have avoided this. Not saying that she didn't have good reason to not be honest (actually, she didn't, but you know, teenagers), but it is what it is.

I want to note that Caliborn dropped Calliope's laptop at the start of his journey, and he was logged in as undyingUmbrage when Roxy pestered him. So it's possible that this isn't Caliborn and someone else is on his planet. poo poo, it might even be Gamzee for weird clown unreasons.

Wasn't it stated by Caliborn that everyone but Dirk has him blocked? I guess he could get around it like this trolls, but he didn't seem interested in them anyways. Also, another piece of evidence that Jake might, in fact, have brain issues. EDIT: Also, wasn't Derse being devastated by the red miles?

Given that Calliope has empty eyes when dead, I assume Caliborn is going to die at some point.

Technique posted:Obviously Lord English actually IS that alternate Calliope, and the reason her cheeks are red is because she took her brother's blood color as a trophy and wore it or something. Like he took her blood color for his text. Much like how a certain Time player disguised his chess pieces.

She has a plan that probably goes against English, but isn't in the best interest of the kids. They're just, well, pawns in whatever scheme she has cooking. I wonder why the wait until 4/13. Her plan must require someone from the old session and/or the trolls.

A funny PS callback would be Dirk's trickster mode being no different than his normal self, and the narration commenting on how lovely his imagination is.

There are currently four Jacks. Troll's Jack - Spades Slick, who is wherever Hussie was when LE killed him, B1 Jack - Bec Noir, who is fleeing PM/ chasing the meteor. B2 Jack - Jack English, who just got, well, jacked by Caliborn. Uu Jack - Jack Noir, who killed Calliope's dream self. It remains to be seen if he'll have a larger role, but I like to think Lord English knocked over Spades Slick's casino in the intermission to get the candy dogs that Caliborn used to bribe this Jack into murdering Calliope.

Yonic Symbolism posted:Where does she get her knowledge of how classes and elements work, and how much does she know? She sure likes knowing things but she didn't seem to know a prince of heart could pull this off. Her flaw here is that, in her hubris, she either forgot that Dirk could do that or just assumed he was the kind of meat head that wouldn't consider a course of action that didn't involve a sword. It's also possible that ripping out someone's soul is a line she didn't anticipate Dirk to cross.

Act 6 is responsible for a lot of Homestuck's issues. Hussie explained that, at some point, he got the idea of a guardian session and started laying down the framework for that. This is why Act 5 was so much longer than every other act, as it had to explain more about how the game worked and establish the possibility for resetting sburb and all that jazz (on top of catering to the popularity of the trolls). Homestuck had to stretch and contort itself to accommodate this idea Hussie had, and you can argue it suffers for that. The "three separate works" thing is an okay explanation that Hussie was all too eager to latch onto, but stuff like Return of the Jedi don't suddenly introduce a bunch of new characters that don't even interact with the main cast until the epilogue. I can't say if I truly dislike it, as there are many parts of Act 6 I like, but I see it as an area of legitimate criticism to throw another bunch of characters on the grill when we've already been invested in another gaggle of them for years now.

Last I checked he has a death grip on the Peter Pan references with Tavros/Vriska/Rufio and has run into the sunset saying that Tavros will become Captain Hook for reasons I don't care about. Although Vriska was the one who has the hook hand on one of the drawings of herself. Like I said, it's convoluted and similar to saying that Caliborn won't turn out to be Lord English due to all of the Wizard of Oz references and since he looks similar to the fake "Wizard" in the movie and therefore Hussie is the True Villain because he is, after all, the man behind the curtain (the end of act curtains IT ALL CONNECTS I SWEAR).

I'm really curious if the later acts will actually make it to print at this rate. But basically we probably won't get any status updates on Homestuck until the game is done. The gigapause is probably going to be a year long at this rate.
