Ahh,

a good old-fashioned case of Homestuck getting fucking weird.

Questions now: What's the Alpha timeline? Which timeline is a doomed timeline? Is this Jade alive?

Also, if the doomed timeline is the one with the glitches, then where the fuck does everything diverge?

Is the timeline split literally when the golden-ship enters the b2 session? (Okay, it's when LOWAS explodes, but everything on the meteor and in b2 before then should be unchanged.) He couldn't undo that much of the story, could he? He's said that's there's not much of the comic left...

. Jade is still dead, but she might have died in a different way, which will be revealed through SPOOKY FLASHBACKS.

There's actually no proof that she's dead. Living dreamers and the very-recently deceased remember and look the same in the dream bubbles. She is basically Schrödinger's God Dog right now.

What about the clock? Or was it obscured by the refrance?

Edit: Post was Ninja'd. Just going to post it anyway.

The updates are on rails now. One update a day every Monday-Wendsday-Friday until this act is over.

I didn't think saying update would cause a false-alarm check.

Anyway, it's really frigging simple. If a person's interference changes something, that means that that would not have transpired were it not for that person's existence. Anything further ("predetermined means they exist regardless!") is overthinking it.

Quoting the section of the blog post that gave me the idea in the first place:

So it's very close, and perhaps the clock even spares her... except for Aranea, whose luck lets close calls break in her favor, and nudges that needle one hair to the Just side. Very unlikely that happens if it's not close already though.

Specifically that it was a 'close call'. As opposed to a certainty. And when you have a master plan to fix everything you don't deal with uncertainties where they can be avoided.

Aranea's plan was stupid and not thought out at all, news at 11.

The weather today is overcast with a chance of planetary collision. Back to you Jim.

Recently, shippers of various different ships, namely Karezi, JaneJake, DirkJake, and JadeDave have begun to enter the second stage grief, while Rosemary shippers have entered the first stage of grief. Many other shipers refuse to begin stage one of grief, stating that, "There's still hope in the dream bubbles."

_{I am definitely not one of the later people for one of these ships./Sarcasm}

There's been a massive news post. Haven't read it yet.

I had always wondered why people didn't try decapitation to end stab-sponge trolls. Kanaya then took it to 11 and downed the clown in a manner that is simultaneously more and less effective than decapitation. The only reason that people doubt the clown being down is because of that statement by in-comic Hussie about the bastard never-dieing-in-any-universe-ever. Personally, I'm in the camp of, "The clown is fucking dead," but it would be interesting if he came back.

On the subject of weird-ass Homestuck-style stuff, it would not be completely out of the Homestuck-ordinary for Dave and Jade to resurrect as the Knitch of Spime. Alternatively known as the Wight of Spacetime.

Completely unrelated to everything, I found this old song. It's a genre of music I normally don't like, but it's really weird and works well.

Update posted.

Spoiler: Not really significant? (click to show/hide)

I wonder what the intended resolution/scroll system is.

Why is there a statue of Yalbadaoth?
Also, which survivor is that that John found looking at the statue?

Dirk's internet browser is Yalbadaoth. As we have learned in earlier in the comic, browser = denizen. This held true for all the beta kids and is holding true for the alpha kids.
