Well for the kids it seems like it’s their hair color as each Derse dreamer has been depicted with white hair and each Prospit dreamer with black. And for the trolls it’s what team they were on as everyone on the Red team is a prospit dreamer and everyone of the Blue team is a derse dreamer, except Sollux who was both.

John has it but his Pop-a-matic Vrillyhoo Hammer is just better.

John dies here and Roxy dies here. 

But fear not, their pre-retcon selves will be taking their places very soon.

Doc Scratch was not around pre-scratch and nothing about the A1 first guardian has been mentioned.

The Eridan seen in the upd8 was dead and from a doomed timeline where he ascended. Unfortunately the matriorb would not have survived in the new timeline either.

Dreamselves are required when using a questbed.  Jake used a Sacrificial Slab to ascend which only requires one life.

After the Legend of Korra had a very gay ending Hussie tweeted “homestuck will eventually reach a gay singularity.  mark it down. it will make korra look like republican propaganda”  

His tweet after Wednesday’s upd8 was in reference to that and how he was serious about it. So yeah, it was partially about davekat.

I am sorry to announce that the ask box is closed until further notice.

I have been getting asks at a much higher rate than I can answer them and fact submission are being buried. Once I feel I’ve made a good indent in the inbox I’ll turn asks back on, I figure it’ll take about a week, two weeks at the most.
Please bear with me until then.

Sincerely yours, Mod T

She is not, cherubs don’t have real siblings stated by both Calliope and Caliborn. Calliope called Caliborn her brother to relate to the kids and Caliborn started referring to Calliope as his sister since everyone knew who he was referring to and because he didn’t like her name to begin with.  Also since hearing their other half’s name put them to sleep it was just an easy way to avoid saying one another’s names. 

But it does adhere to stable time loops, as a result of the fight Caliborn’s juju is sent to the furthest ring so that John could find it and get his retcon powers to take the kids to the fight or the existence of Lil Cal.  Both the pre-retcon and post-retcon timelines are needed in the Alpha timeline.
