how much do you think Hussie is influenced by the fandom?

homestuck-scribbles

A lot actually.  The first 4 acts were fan suggestions via the mspaforums, Calliope and Caliborn are parodies of different types of fans, Trickster Mode wasn’t Hussie’s idea, and all the canon trickster designs minus John’s came from Wecansexy’s fanart, Lil Hal’s human form seen in the recent update was a popular design from the fandom, Caliborn’s OC was based off an old piece of fanart, several of the Beforan trolls are based off of fan archtypes, and so forth.  

Hussie knows exactly what kinda stuff is going down in the fandom.

Why do I keep seeing stuff about Jade being alone on the prospit ship during the 3 year trip? I thought John, the sprites, and the consorts were with her? What would Vriska being alive change about that?

John made a deal with Typheus which killed his pre-retcon self and davesprite so Jade spent the three years relatively alone

Just about Lil Hal - did he end up with an actual body that looks like red Crockertier Jane or has he always been either shades or part of ARquiussprite? And is he evil or something else?

He is not actually in a human body it’s just a lil Hal human design the got super popular in the fandom and Hussie put in the comic.  And I wouldn’t say Lil Hal was evil, more too smart for his own good or diabolical.

Why were Feferi and Eridan in the flash if they already died???

In regards to that anon's question, the current timeline is the timeline in which jade is alone on the boat? Would john and davesprite be dead then?

Yes

I mean... Dave and Karkat could just... be in a normal human relationship?

Impossible, Karkat is not human, if anything it’d be a normal interspecies relationship.

Is davekat canon in or in

wouldn't it cause the bad kind of paradox if pre-retcon vriska stopped existing altogether? since she contributed to the john originating from the pre-retconned timeline to have the teleporting thing from caliborn's juju that was needed to allow him to retcon the timeline and to eventually teleport the human kids to fight caliborn. that with the fact that the dreambubbles can and have contained ghosts from doomed timelines like a tavros that god-tiered, for example?

That’s what I said but people argued it

is jade all alone on the boat still during the latest update, or was that an alternate timeline?

Nope, that was this timeline, she was alone

Ok I'm really confused now, why is it that Vriska is able to time travel/jump from session to session? I thought that only Gamzee could do that.

She has the megido time machine music boxes, probably got them from Aradia
