could you do a quick summary of everything that's happened since ungigapause

GAME OVER: Everyone dies and John beats up Caliborn.

Terezi and Roxy survive, John shows up, Roxy goes to see her denizen, John goes to see his denizen and teleports his planet. then he goes back to before he left Terezi, Terezi gives him a list of stuff to change then dies.  John goes back and changes a bunch of stuff.  Now Vriska is alive, the Condesce is confused, Team Good Guys is winning, Retcon timeline John and Roxy are dead, Aranea never came back to life.  John teleported him, his planet, and original timeline Roxy back to the session.

That’s a rough summary.

What is Aradia's relationship with Diamonds Droog? I'm really confused on this.

Diamond Droog was her exile and convinced her to kill Vriska.

is Gamzee really dead after being killed by Kanaya? And also, is Aradia dead and if so how was she killed?

Anonymous

Gamzee is probably no longer dead and Aradia is not dead, she just prefers to live in the dreambubbles.

I know you must have answered this question before but how do I find the passwords? I've been searching since that update and I might not be going far enough?

They are in the comic, to use them you have to type in Terezi’s quirk.  You can look here for a list of the passwords if like.

We were discussing this with a friend and we still dont understand, what causes that rose didnt get alcoholic?

My guess would be Terezi not being in an abusive relationship with Gamzee.  Without Gamzee keeping her secluded, Terezi would have been had the foresight to know what excessive drinking would do to Rose thanks to her Seer powers and been able to help Rose or prevent her alcoholism from happening.  Kanaya didn’t stop Rose from drinking because Kanaya didn’t know it would become an issue until it was too late.

So idk if I missed this or something but why did Roxy disappear when she put on the ring if it doesn't have any effect on humans?

The Queen’s ring with prototyped orbs has no effect on humans.  But the post scratch Queen’s ring is a very distinct type of ring not normally found in Sburb sessions.  It is a Ring of Void which is usable by humans.

Sorry, I have a doubt about Null Sessions: how can they exist when in Homestuck we have a single "right timeline" system? For example, why is the pre-scratch trolls' session null? If they didn't succeed, shouldn't it be just a doomed timeline?

Null Sessions can be scratched.  Rose also explains that Null Sessions are fairly common here.

Can you explain the update? I don't get it...

Jade remembered that she was asleep and not dead.  Vriska has the power to put humans to sleep.  Vriska is still alive.  Vriska put Jade and Jane to sleep.

Hey factmaster! I've seen a few posts claiming Rose's sobriety is back on track as of the new update, but I didn't see anything like that. Like, at all. Where are people drawing this conclusion from???

Originally Rose is leaning on Kanaya because she was hungover

In the retcon timeline Rose is standing on her own so it can be assumed that either she never became an alcoholic or that she overcame it before arriving.

There seems to be some confusion about a post I made early.  To specify

This is Poppop, Post-Scratch adult John

And this is Grandpa, Pre-Scratch Adult Jake
