Why did Equius and Nepeta stay dead in the retcon timeline?

Anonymous

Because Gamzee still killed them.

Since the troll's session was doomed since they didn't do the ecto biology then wouldn't it be the same for Dirk, Jake, Jane, and Roxy's session? Since John already made them.

No. The trolls session needed to be doomed and scratched so that the post-scratch trolls could exist and make the pre-scratch trolls so that they could play the game in the first place.  Whereas John made the kids before hand so they were already made and can still play without having to worry about it.

So, can you explain to me the relationship of Gamzee and Caliope/Caliborn

Gamzee set up their living place and provided food for them so that Caliborn could grow up and become Lord English.  He was also the one that chained them to the sarswapagus 

How long was the gigapause again?

a year

So is the whole game unwinable seeing how there are no more live space/time players?

Dave, Jade, Aradia, and Kanaya are all still alive.

Have Feferi and Equius ever had any interactions with each other?

Not in canon

Is Roxy trans?

It’s never said she is in canon. but it also never said she wasn’t. so… to each their own.

Not everyone in the homestuck fandom is current. That's why I ask.

I’m aware of that.  I’m sure I have followers who are at all different parts of the story.  But I can’t accommodate all of them.  If you aren’t caught up then following a blog like this has a decent spoiler liability. I can tag asks related to upd8’s as they happen.  But how long after an upd8 do I stop considering it an upd8? 

Can you tag asks and replies related to upd8s??

There hasn’t been an upd8 in nearly two weeks.  But I will do so with future upd8s

You should probably keep an FAQ page, starting with a big section for ectobiology, since it's such a simple concept that so many people ask you about

I should add ectobiology basics to the FAQ.  That’s a good idea anon.
