Never have and never will read Epilogues/Beyond Canon due to Jade angst :(

I think it a pretty self explanatory tierlist, most trolls don't have that much significance and I wasn't part of the Homestuck mania to get attached to them, so none are in C.

So far enjoying the DLC, but unfortunately I may not be clever enough to put the pieces together :(

My progress so far is in the image. Like last time I asked for help in the base game, feel free to do that thing where you reveal stuff one at a time with progressing >!degrees!< >!of!< >!clarity!<, or just do what you feel would be best for my experience of the game!

I have visited all 4 "dream" areas (that's what I'm calling them for now). Each seems to have their own little roadblock.

• Shrouded Woodlands
  • Followed the Stranger to the house, got ambushed and my flame blown out (I much prefer the Nomai, they're nicer it seems :) though I only have Solanum as reference). I thought: "What if I had my flame concealed?", nope, they forced it open. "What if I don't have my artifcat on me at all?" That was the coolest moment ever seeing everything turn all neon-y. Unfortunately they just snapped my neck :(
  • The point on rumor mode doesn't have an asterisk, so I just left it there, but naturally there is something I'm missing to that regard.
• Starlit Cove
  • A little bit infuriating that it seems like I have more to explore (evident by asterisk). I did a full lap of the cove, appearifying the boat station too. I did a little testing with my neon mode, and finding out about the hidden boat area behind one of the bell alarm thingies. Unfortunately, I couldn't have my artifact on me, so I couldn't ride the boat.
  • I'm certain that it is incredibly relevant due to the hidden well video roll showing a similar boat, but I'm a little stumped on how to solve this.
• Hidden Gorge
  • There is a cave on the non-cabin side out of reach, not sure how to access that. Also there's a Stranger watching something that I also cannot talk to due to there being no path. (Admittedly, this was the first dream area I went to, so maybe a revisit is due, as between then and now I did not know about blowing out candles to open doors)
• Sealed Vault
  • There was a projection showing that I had to do something at the Cinder Isles tower to access 3 thingamabobs. I thought I had to sleep, and then go to the room again and the two lamps will be off, unfortunately doesn't work that way.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Wow what a journey! Even though the sharp tonal shifts and dense language sometimes confused me a little, I enjoyed it a lot! (If I were to rank the ACTs, it would go in ascending order, with Intermission on the bottom).

Music was phenomenal, currently Umbral Ultimatum might be my favourite, along with many, many others. However, I noticed (back then and also now) that there are some tracks in unlocked albums that I have not heard. I would very much like to avoid spoilers, and I'm also curious what the volume number actually means. (I thought it meant what ACT the music is in, but it seems like ACT 5 gets a bunch). I currently have the following albums unlocked:

• Unreleased Tracks
• Homestuck Vol. 1-8
• Midnight Crew: Drawing Dead
• Alternia
• Squiddles!
• The Felt
• Strife!
• AlterniaBound
• Medium
• Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido
• Sburb
• The Wanderers
• Prospit & Derse

If you could tell me which ones I can fully browse and see where a song plays without spoiling myself, please tell!

The story is a little bit convoluted. ACT 5's ending is a little bit weird, seems like all 4 of our heroes obtained godhood, but did they all end up meeting at the [color=#00FF00]The Green Sun[/color]? Jade and John seems to have skedaddled through the 4th (5th?) wall themselves (It was hinted towards throughout the ACTs, but I don't know whether its a thing that's going to be explained later, or that I was dense and didn't get something). It seems like the Scratch occured successfully, where they retain their memories. To be absolutely sure I am caught up to date and not missing anything, is there a Recap coming up or somewhere else online that explains everything from ACTs 1 to 5?

Excited to keep going!

I am actually quite enjoying Homestuck. I was wary of it at first due to the slow start of ACT 1 and falling into the trap of reading past comics on the CD rack, but I didn't mind the huge exposition being dumped in ACTs 2 and 3 at all, if only at the cost of being a little confusing, so I would love some clarification!

I have just finished ACT 3 (My last page: https://homestuck.com/003053), so please no spoilers after that!

1. Jade is literally Apollo?? She seems to have insane future and past knowledge which I have up to this point just accepted as yep that's something she does. The bit where she dreams is a little bit confusing too, her dream takes place in the Medium? Her house in the dream is a moon? She literally at Skaia?? (sorry if I misremembered the name) I would love a detailed explanation of Jade's shenanigans up to the end of ACT 3.
2. Same deal with Rose in the bsaement of Jasper's mausoleum. Soooo Jasper is dead, then paradoxically alive, then a newborn? (Correct my understanding of the teleport thingy, but to my knowledge you can basically teleport anything from any point in time unless it creates a "paradox"?) I'm a little confused on the entire basement ordeal with Rose.
3. Okay so there's future people, the mayor guy, the mail delivery gal, and a shooty guy. Somehow Jade can communicate with them? How does she know to communicate with them? How does she know exactly where to put boxes to send them instructions? What are the big spaceships with Homestuck logos??

Having fun, just confused, thank you for any help!

Thank you to anyone who gave hints last time, I figured out every other branch! Unfortunately, even though I figured out how to warp to Sun Station, I can't quite seem to explore it. From what I can gather, there's two parts of the Station, but the bridge that connected them is now broken. I tried flying over countless times, didn't work. Usually I enjoyed figuring stuff out, but this is kind of frustrating me, please give me some hints!

Started playing Outer Wilds recently with absolutely no knowledge of it (aside from the fact that it's super good). I've tried my best to get by without any help at all to try to make it as authentic as can be, but I may be a little bit stuck.

I'm not sure what the difference in flairs is between "No Spoilers" and "Hints", I was going to ask if it is currently possible or not to progress with a tree, but the answer is most certainly "yes", so maybe I'd ask "where to look?" instead. Feel free to do that thing where >!you reveal!<

>!stuff one!<>!at a time!< with progressing degree of clarity, or just do what you feel would be best for my experience of the game!

Some of my progress and roadblocks:

1. The Quantum Moon
   • It was an unforgettable moment discovering the quantum quirks of entanglement and imaging, and even more so finally landing on the moon. However, I was not able to get into the Tower of Quantum Knowledge on Brittle Hollow, which I am guessing is the reason why I have not been able to solve the massive wall on the outside of the tower on the moon when I warped to the 6th location. I have even tried to pilot my ship into the tower, but it didn't fit :((
2. The Ash Twin Project
   • Scoured the Ash Twin twice after sand has drained completely, but no clue to where this supposedly indestructible cause-of-all-my-looping chamber is. I have seen the interior of the chamber in the mines and Black Hole Forge, kind of cool how there's potentially a third looper!! Anyway, this seems like an endgame kind of thing?
   • Also, the Sun Station might provide some idea on this, but I have no clue how to get to it. Tried to fly to it directly, and got roasted.
3. Escape Pods
   • Admittedly, (and this will apply to the next one as well), I am quite terrified of Dark Bramble. The concept of Feldspar and the Nomai being trapped in it is creepy enough, but early on my playthrough I was naive enough to go in without my ship, to be greeted with some mindfuckery duplicate signal cloudy shenanigans. It creeped me out a lot, so I have abstained from going back for a long while, though if I have to...
4. Green (Probe + Seed?)
   • I discovered how to go into the Ocean Depths of Giant's Deep. I was excited to unravel the branch that is the Probe Monitoring thingy (I could see that it was submerged in purple lightning), then got my ship blown up from the electricity. I did swim around trying to look for openings to no avail. There was however this island on Giant's Deep that had frozen jellyfish I spent a while looking around, but there wasn't anything. Do I keep looking? Can I go into the Depths?
   • Also, I did try to immediately book it to the Probe after waking up. It is a little weird how the Probe is shot differently each loop, but when it aligns well with Timber Hearth, I could almost catch it, but most of the times overshooting before the ship sends me back. I did have one attempt where my Ship crashed into the probe, and I died (because I didn't have my suit on and no oxygen?). Should I keep trying?
   • Inside the seed... Dark Bramble... yikes.
5. The Interloper
   • This is probably the easiest branch to resolve, I ended my lastest session after finding out about Poke and Pye (hopefully I'm remembering names correctly) probably died exploring the Interloper :((. So no help needed here!

Thank you so much for your time helping :))
