Cinematic 105: Hello Reader I Want to Play a Game.

Act 6 Act 6 Intermission 5.

Cinematic 106: Vriskagram.

In a Skaian cloud vision, the post-retcon kids sit on the enchanted metal frog discus.

While waiting for three more kids to arrive, they review their situation.

John and Roxy arrive.

John greets everyone.

Eight conversations can be read in any order:

Karkat, Dave, and John compare norms.

Roxy and Rose compare moms.

Tavrosprite argues that Jake can be a brave and good friend. Vriska badmouths them both.

Terezi and Vriska appreciate their good fortune and rapport.

Dave and Roxy grill each other’s asses. Jaspersprite exhumes the Rose buried on Lowas and puts it in Roxy’s empty sprite, creating Rosesprite. Rose finds this development stupid and bemoans her “arc”.

Vriska encourages Kanaya to keep faith in the revival of trolldom. Vriska and Karkat trade pathetic jokey unrequited blackrom stuff.

Dave commits unbelieveable-ass Freudian boners. Everyone except Terezi agrees that Jane is a babe.

John and Jake get to know each other.

Vriska calls the group to order to discuss tactics. She reviews the threats posed by the Condesce, Dog Jack, Lord Jack, and Robo Jack. Rosesprite volunteers to set up fenestrated planes around the Medium.

Roxy, Rose, and John volunteer to fight the Batterwitch on Derse. The still-sleeping Jade is to help the Monarch defeat the Slayer if she wakes. Dave and Terezi volunteer to fight the Archagent. Terezi suggests Dirk will help. Jake and Tavrosprite are tapped to take down Slick and The Felt. Arquiusprite declares that he will do something incomprehensibly heroic.

Kanaya and Karkat will see Echidna to release the Genesis Frog and make it possible to win the session. John will hold on to Earth. Vriska will go to the Furthest Ring to lead the ghosts against Lrd English.

Dave fears the Strider brotimes. Vriska fenestrates Dirk straight to the lilypad to get their meeting over with, then leaves.

The Skaian cloud vision of the kids at the lilypad ends, giving way to Jane and Jade’s dream with Callie. Callie is about to wake them when they enter someone else’s dream bubble.

A yellow path leads them to a memory of Echidna’s lair.

Jane wakes. Arquiusprite has disabled her mind-controlling tiaratop.

Kanaya and Karkat have left for Lofaf. Dave and Dirk have left for Lotak. Jake and Tavrosprite have left for Lomax.

Jane and Roxy reunite. Arquiusprite leaves. Roxy resolves to go give the Ring of Life to Callie.

Jaspersprite cuddles up too close to Rosesprite. The singly-prototyped Rosesprite absorbs the doubly-prototyped Jaspersprite, becoming the flashy two-legged sprite fusion Jasprosesprite².

The memory of Echidna’s lair belongs to the other dead Calliope, the one who predominated.

The Muse of Space invites Calliope to talk privily and dispels Calliope’s trollsona.

The Muse of Space relates how she grew up without human contact, defeated her brother, and entered a dead session. She lost the race to pocket the pool ball planets of her session. She let Echidna kill her and spent unknowable ages waiting.

The Muse of Space is at last going to fulfill her bargain with Echidna. She tells Calliope to live as she could not.

Roxy finds Calliope and gives her the Ring of Life.

Ambient 11: Audience with Echidna.

Echidna judges Karkat and Kanaya worthy of receiving the Genesis Frog. Kanaya promises to protect Karkat for a leadership role in the new universe. But Karkat insists on fighting first. Kanaya zonks him with a headways fist bonk and leaves him in Echidna’s lair.

Roxy returns to the lilypad with Calliope. Jasprosesprite² briefs Jane on her healing job.

Jasprosesprite² flies around the Medium, distributing fenestrated planes and greeting everyone who left the lilypad before seeing her get created. She contemplates Jake’s empty sprite and embarrasses Rose by existing.

Ten conversations can be read in only one order:

Dave and Dirk struggle to break the ice.

Roxy introduces Callie properly to John, Rose, and Terezi. They discuss Callie’s lack of role in the coming fight.

Meenah gets bored of (Vriska) and the repetitive afterlife. Vriska interrupts their feelings jam.

Roxy describes the problem of making a Matriorb appear. She asks Callie to witness her attempt.

Rose worries about being OG. John starts to notice Terezi’s caliginous gestures toward him.

Roxy ideates a matriorb and steals it from nonexistence.

Roxy and Callie take off with the matriorb.

Jasprosesprite² takes Jane to Locah to meet Nannasprite.

Roxy drops Callie off at Jade’s house on Lofaf to stay with the Vagabond and the sleeping Jade. Roxy and Callie have a romantically ambiguous parting.

Dave and Dirk have a difficult and therapeutic feelings jam comparing each other to Dave’s abusive Bro and Dirk’s distant Bro. They hug.

Roxy finds Kanaya and presents her with the Matriorb. Kanaya contemplates the responsibility for breeding the next race of trolls. Roxy persuades her to fight anyway.

The living Vriska verbally brutalizes the ghost Vriska and takes the chest containing the house juju.

Meenah cuts ghost Vriska loose and follows live Vriska.

Two scenes can be read in any order:

Jane meets the pre-retcon and post-retcon Nannasprites.

Jake decides that he knows everything there is to know about himself and his difficulty with friends.

Jasprosesprite² brings Nepeta’s head to Lomax and puts it into Jake’s empty sprite, making Nepetasprite.

Ambient 12: Cerulean Ringer.

Vriska calls and gets Tavrosprite to pick up the Condesce’s pet first guardian, GCat. The singly-prototyped Tavrosprite absorbs the god cat and becomes the self-allergic GCatavrosprite. Vriska then puts him to sleep.

Meenah briefs Vriska on the ghost army plan she and the other Vriska had abandoned. They don’t know how to raise another army without Aranea’s mind control.

Tavros’s ghost has saved them the trouble. He raised an army single-handedly, not by mind control, but by escapades of the heart.

Air guitar.

Meenah addresses the troops. They are to go out in glory, throwing themselves recklessly at Lrd English so that Vriska may use her weapon on him.

Jasprosesprite² dates Nepetasprite, with Jake as a prop. The Davesprite who was on Lowas in its round trip to nowhere shows up to their tea party on Lomax. The singly-prototyped Nepetasprite absorbs the doubly-prototyped Davesprite, becoming the flashy two-legged sprite fusion Davepetasprite².

Callie finds the Vagabond watching over Jade. In Jade’s dream, the ghost Calliope leads her on through cracked space. Jade is too eager to wake up to give the Muse’s teaching her full attention.

Davepetasprite² loves being a god damn debacle of a thing. Their merger dashes Jasprosesprite²’s hopes of romancing Nepeta. They discuss how their new lives invite new decisions. Davepetasprite² wants to go fight Lrd English, but furst there are a couple of bros to meet up with.

Arquiusprite builds all eight houses to max height and places grist rigs on them. These rigs pump the Denizens’ grist hoards into Skaia to prime it for the Ultimate Alchemy.

Ambient 13: Grist Falls on Skaia.

Dave and Dirk finish their feelings jam. They imagine the private life of post-scratch Dave, the filmmaker and rebel.

Davepetasprite² introduces themself to Arquiusprite. And there it is. The greatest reunion—neigh, moment—in Homestuck history.

Cinematic 107: Homestuck’s Audacious Promise Has Been Utterly Fulfilled Forever.

Roxy and Kanaya return to the pad, rounding out the team that will fight the Condesce on Derse. John inspires them to new heights of team work and friendship. Terezi flies off to join the Striders. She and John have a romantically ambiguous parting.

On her way to Lotak, Terezi trolls Vriska to no response. Terezi opens up about the self-doubt that has always eaten at her. She wishes to remember her other lives in paths erased or not taken.

Cinematic 108: Do You Remem8er Me?

The afterlife may be breaking apart, but ghosts are still finding their memories and their friends out there. The Terezi who died and the Vriska she killed at long last find each other and rejoice in facing the end together.

Spades Slick arrives on his rocket ass, fixing to throw down with Lrd English or any similar thing in this session. He drops The Felt on Lomax, spots Lord Jack, and chases off after him. Jake faces The Felt alone.

John, Rose, Kanaya, Jane, and Roxy arrive on Derse and square off against her Imperious Condescension. Roxy carries Bro Strider’s sword as a memoir of all humans and trolls whose future was stolen and a promise to take that future back from the Batterwitch.

Karkat, knocked out in Echidna’s lair, dreams. He finds himself in Meenah’s bubble and joins her army.

The Calliope who predominated approaches the Green Sun, source of power to First Guardians and all those who inherit their prototype. Jade has had to stay asleep for so long because this power is a liability in the fight. In her last words to anyone, the Muse of Space tells Jade to try to have fun.

Jade meets Davepetasprite², who has flown to the Sun to figure out where the ghost fight is. They talk about the difficult progress toward understanding their aspects. Davepeta kisses Jade and wakes her up.

Jade wakes in the company of Callie and the Vagabond. A note from Dave tells her to deal with the Sovereign Slayer and the Prospitian Monarch. She swings by Lotak to see Terezi and the Striders, then goes to find the chess dogs.

Spades Slick, Lord Jack, and the Lotak team square off.

Vriska waits by the weapon a short distance from the army. The Cairo Overcoat enters their bubble, and from it emerges Lrd English, ready to throw down.

Caliborn, done with Homosuck and never again to act as narrator, goes to duel Yaldabaoth. Defeating his denizen will put Caliborn irrevocably and eternally on the path of the conqueror.

The Monarch’s pursuit of the Slayer ends at the wreckage of Prospit. He tires of the chase and turns to clash with she who is his equal in power conferred by the Rings of Orbs Fourfold.

Caliborn is ready to fight the deadliest denizen.

The ghost army is ready to fight the constant conqueror.

Jake is ready to fight fourteen leprechauns, a classy Prospitian lady, and a centaur butler.

Terezi and the Striders are ready for the Jack-off.

John, Kanaya, and the Lalondes are ready to fight Betty Crocker, empress of the trolls.

No curtains.
