actually the time shenanigans is because the Medium is supposed to be timeless, it's in the letter to John Nannasprite wrote(source: p=002659) i'm p sure that means its time doesn't have anything to do with stuff outside of it, but I can't find a source for that

It's weird how long each session lasted, they're all so different. What determines how long a session lasts? I'm curious because apparently it can range from 1 day to 3 months.

John’s session launched the Reckoning early after 24 hours because Bec Noir started it .

Karkat’s was 612 hours, a hivebent reference.

Jane’s group had to wait 3 months for John’s group to arrive. But they’re not finished yet so we don’t know how long it will last.

John's session was a little more than a day - the Reckoning began after 24 hours, but the session hadn't ended yet. It was probably a day and a half or two days long.

Oh, right, yeah, thanks.

Here's a question I'd like your opinion on: Nana is Dadbert's mom. Who was his father?

She had recently become betrothed to a fine, upstanding gentleman. Soon, she would start a family. No, not one meant for heroism as foretold, but one that would make her happy nonetheless.

I'm p sure there's no evidence the two Dads are related. besides the fact they look identical, I guess, but they are kinda just outlines with a pipe and hat so does it count? idk I could be wrong

Well, they’re kinda related.

Nanna and Jane have the same DNA.

Dad Egbert is Nanna’s son

and Dad Crocker, genetically, is Jane’s grandson.

So, Dad Egbert is kinda Dad Crocker’s uncle.

i had this odd dad theory a while back- jane is his mother in the beta timeline, john is his father in the alpha timeline- so is he jane and john's kid?

Incest, hm.. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t have eyes or a mouth.

~Mod T

this has been a joke

It might help to differentiate between dad Crocker and dad Egbert. Dad Egbert (John's dad) was born from nanna/old lady jane and an unknown (?) father (not jake), while dad Crocker (Jane's dad) was born of poppop/old man john and an unknown (?) mother. Thus the two dads are genetically different and are really two different people, even if they look and act the same. Children of Jane/jake would actually probably turn out more like Jade and John than either of the dads, too. I think. Idk science

Yes

Do we know how long each of the sessions lasted? I remember somebody saying that John's session lasted only a day but that doesn't sound right

John’s lasted a day.

Karkat’s lasted just over three weeks.

And Jane’s is just over three months

~Mod T

I'm really confused, if Grandpa Harley was dead and stuffed in Jade's house, how did he turn up alive in the Medium?

Time shenanigans.

wait, so you said dad wasnt made by ectobiology but was made the old fashioned way, right? so what if when jane said she wanted jake to have her kids or whatever when she became corrupted.. what if thats supposed to be dad?

But Dad is her Dad, if her kid was Dad then Homestuck genealogy would get even more crazy
