This page may not be done in a while - or ever, until the game that this page is related to has been beaten.
Please keep coming back to and updating it.
Andrew Hussie has used Adobe Flash throughout the course of Homestuck to create animations, pages with sound, and mini-games in a variety of forms. This page lists each Flash page in Homestuck with a short description.
Originally, Hussie had intended to produce the story entirely using Flash. The Homestuck beta started on April 10, 2009 with 8 pages fully in Flash. However, this turned out to be too difficult and time-consuming, so Hussie re-started the story on April 13, 2009 using .gifs instead. Flash is now typically used for major story events or to deliver a large amount of conversation and/or plot exposition all at once.
In MSPA's first epic video Flash (though a rather short one compared to later animations), a giant meteor bears down on John's house right as he bites into his Cruxite Apple. John's entire neighborhood is obliterated.
Homestuck's first walkaround Flash game has the Wayward Vagabond commanding John around his house. Nearly every room can be explored, and the full version of Showtime can be played on the piano. Don't forget about Trickster Mode, which will allow you to visit Problem Sleuth's Office from the back yard by heading upwards.
There is a transcript of the text displayed after clicking on things in this segment on pastebin.
John continues in Strife with the Imp with the handle of his broken Sledgehammer. Again, though, the Imp bests him. (Don't forget to try out Trickster Mode!)
Dave ponders trying to fetch the dead bird from a nearby rooftop but decides it isn't happening. He takes a look out at the major heat wave (and meteor storm) bearing down on his city. Also, massive foreshadowing.
Dave, with Lil Cal and Ninja Sword in hand, climbs up to the roof of his apartment building to face off against Br- wait, that's Jade! No, it's Wayward Vagabond!
WV frantically gathers up all of his things as the counter ticks down to zero. He escapes the Skyship Base! ...almost.
The TaB can WV tosses aside lands on and holds down the button of the Appearifier control panel that sets the coordinates to the center of the base. This may have resulted in the control display changing with the movement of the base in the next Flash file.
WV's Skyship Base flies westward and lands beside the Frog Temple. 413 years in the past, a meteor strikes a suburban neighborhood. A giant tree grows in the crater and drops its fruit, which the Peregrine Mendicant finds. 413 million years in the past, a meteor strikes near a volcano and, after time, the Frog Temple is constructed in the crater. Rose battles against her failing generator and a massive forest fire. Dad battles some Imps on Derse. And Dave prepares to battle his Bro.
Before he can Abscond, Bro affronts Dave and pretty much beats the pants off him and tosses him down the stairs - even though he was thoroughly forewarned about them.
Rose looks through the life of Jaspers. Well, his life after he's dead. After he washes up on shore near their house, Rose and Mom hold a fancy funeral and entomb him inside a Mausoleum. As seen earlier in Homestuck, Rose disturbs his eternal rest, captchalogues him, and then accidentally transportalizes him outside of the SkaiaNet Laboratory.
There's a link at the end to Rose's version of [S] Ride.
Jade goes to get the blue package, but she's intercepted by her faithful Guardian, Becquerel. Bec shows off his First Guardian powers and dodges every shot Jade fires at him. Finally, she turns the battle into a game of fetch and gets the package. Good dog. Best friend. (Bonus points if you spot the Green Sun.)
Dave battles Bro in the FINAL ROUND. Several things get sliced in half: Cal, Dave's cheap piece of shit sword, and the record symbol on his shirt. Bro flies off on his Rocket Board. That's really all there is to say on the matter.
A revisit to John's previous dream and two otherchats he had with Jade. While dreaming, Jade explores Prospit's moon, seeing images from around the Homestuck universe in the Skaian clouds. She witnesses in her dream the meteor crash that brought Bec to Earth in the distant past. John's dream self flies out of his tower and almost meets with Dream Jade, but both wake up before his dream self awakens.
Dave starts up the Sburb server copy (with the same messages as the previous Loading Screen). As meteors rain down on Rose's house, Dave helps her prototype with Jaspers and the Eldritch Princess princess doll. She smashes her Cruxite Bottle to enter the Medium.
Jade explores the Frog Temple, finding Dave's beta copy of Sburb.
Homestuck's first fully interactive walkaround Flash. The Land of Wind and Shade is introduced by name as John walks around on its surface. Nanna offers some rather cryptic advice, but John's Consorts, the Salamanders, offer up plenty of information on the John's planet, the Underlings he has been battling, and just how much of a fuckin' pain in the ass it is to farm these goddamn mushrooms. (Trickster Mode isn't all that effective here.)
As alternate future Rose ceases to exist, she merges with normal timeline Rose's dream self. Rose falls asleep on her scarf pile. And Mutie has a yarns.
Derse is introduced. The Black Queen confronts Jack Noir, forcing him to wear ridiculous jester outfits. Jack uses the contents of the Green Package to murder the Queen, stealing her Queen's Ring and gaining its prototyping powers.
Dream Rose begins to uncover the secrets behind the "MEOW" scibblings on her wall and in her Journal.
Mom, Dad, and Bro each battle their way through massive minions on their respective kids' planets.
Dream Dave plays various tunes to Dream Rose, while Dream Cal jumps around and some crows stand on the equipment. Briefly shows images of Dave, Rose, Cal, Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff.
The kids' prototypings break the eternal stalemate on the Battlefield and evolve it into a fully three-dimensional world. The Armies of Light and Darkness wage violent battle with massive warships and gargantuan Chess-themed creatures while the Black and White Kings preside over the warfare.
A Warweary Villein rallies the troops of both sides against the Black King after his farm is destroyed. Before the soldiers can make a move, though, Jack Noir slays the king and destroys his Scepter.
The White King surrenders his scepter to the Parcel Mistress; Hegemonic Brute tries to steal it, but it is knocked away into a stream.
John passes out bunnies like they're cheap cigars - first to an intimidated baby Rose alongside her (baby) Mom, then to Jade. Hero Mode is engaged, because after all, who could possbly be more heroic than Nic Cage? CG is not amused. GC is, though.
Possibly the second most eventful single page of Homestuck. Dave tries to climb the top of the antenna atop his House to break the Cruxite Egg.
Rose's Mom and Dad ride Grandpa Harley's battleship towards Skaia.
Jack Noir rains destruction on the battlefield, Courtyard Droll hands him the White King's Scepter, allowing him to start The Reckoning. He then flies to Prospit, where Dream Jade tries to wake up Dream John. Jack severs the massive chain between Prospit and its moon, sending the moon crashing down to Skaia. Jade tries desperately to save Dream John, who hasn't yet woken up. She pushes him out of the way of the moon at the last moment, and he finally awakens.
John sends all the paradox clones off to Earth on Meteors from The Veil before being awakened by Jade. Some objects in the lab get sent too.
In the cuts showing the silhouette of Bec's head, several images can be seen through him. They generally last a single frame, meaning they can't be seen without freezing the Flash and proceeding frame by frame. Most are snapshots from [S] Descend itself, but there are also images of Bro riding Maplehoof and a meteor in the shape of Mutie's head.
Trivia: Vriska's nails at the very beginning of the flash (seen in the upper right corner above the 8 ball) are colored yellow, but at the end of the flash (when she's on Prospit) her nails are colored blue.
Terezi's nails are also painted yellow (knocked out on Prospit).
The scene zooms out to a computer. Karkat is watching this scene unfold with a look of awe that then changes into a look of absolute rage.
Time passes. Baby John Egbert is seen on the Green Slime Ghost Pogo that he rides and falls off of, injuring his knee. Dad comes to his aid.
Multiple quick scenes present John growing up and spending time with his father: John helping Dad make baked goods, playing the piano, being pied in the face, and meeting Jade online and training to be a prankster.
Scenes forward to the earlier parts of Homestuck, where he fights the imps an ogres, becomes praised by the Salamander people, and being carted away on a board.
Jade falls asleep after the destruction of Prospit (and before the creation of stable dream bubbles), and begins to dream. Her dream at first places her happily on her bed with her Lunchtop, Squiddles, and a background consisting only of a rainbow guitar fretboard. Happy Squiddles music is playing in the background.
The fretboard fades away as the music becomes distorted with the sounds of The Noble Circle of Horrorterrors chanting "Tangle Buddies".
The scene fades into a small blue bubble. The music also fades to silence.
Dave'sdream self is watching events, and slowly takes off his shades, revealing his red eyes. They widen at the sight of something not seen by the viewer.
The blue gem reappears with a small Squiddle in front of it, but turns red. It expands into a Squiddles title card, flickering somewhat with static, as a second Squiddles song begins to play, this one shrill and somewhat distorted compared to the first.
The scene returns with a television-like flash to Jade on her bed, with the rainbow fretboard background back but now bifurcated and covered in little silver sparkles, as she jumps off her bed onto the back of a pink narwhal with a rainbow horn.
Feferi appears on the back of an aquatic hoofbeast with a red diamond on its side and a red ribbon in its hair. Several cuttlefish are following her.
Feferi, the cuttlefish, Jade, and the Squiddles float around smiling as the background and music become increasingly distorted, flashing to various other iterations of the rainbow, other Squiddles title cards, and static.
Flickering in shades of rainbow, Jade and Feferi stare at each other, the former becoming somewhat surprised and distressed, the latter remaining insouciant.
Jade and Feferi's mounts tilt at angles as the background and music completely go to hell.
A draconian face flashes as a burst of static cuts the footage off.
Horrorterrors come out of some kind of portal at the screen's center to increasingly frenzied static pulses. At first merely in shade of gray, sections of the pulses also become red and white.
Distorted Squiddles music plays slowly and softly as we pan over a sea of monsters to Jade's bed.
The background of monsters flashes away as Jade wakes up distressed in her bed.
Jade's loading screen is used, but it fades into the silhouette of Bec's face.
A Meteor heads towards Jade's island. Jade's Cruxite Artifact appears: A Becquerel piñata hanging from a tree and a blindfold for Jade.
John, working as Jade's server player, selects a doll for the first prototyping. However, Vriska manipulates him into falling asleep at this moment.
Instead Becquerel transports all other material out of the room and prototypes himself. This is accompanied by the flashing that Bec typically induces. He flies up and destroys the meteor in a massive explosion that also creates a tidal wave, causing destruction at least as far away as the city where Dave lives.
Jade tries to hit the piñata with the butt of her rifle, but it creates a green explosion and pushes her out of her tower.
Still blindfolded but now in Hero Mode, Jade tries to shoot the piñata as she falls.
Bec redirects the bullet into the piñata for her, transporting her house into the medium. Bec's explosion has spared at least the rest of her island, which remains on Earth.
Jack transforms into Bec Noir. The flames around the battlefield turn green. Bro and Davesprite look on.
There is a burst of pixellated green static that turns to red. This is accompanied by the change of the music's tone to 8-bit. The trolls are gathered around on a platform as Karkat reaches forward to claim the ultimate reward, but then Bec Noir appears. Aradia transports the trolls into the veil, as the army of Aradiabots stay behind to fight Noir.
There is another burst of red static. Karkat is shown briefly asleep on the floor of the lab in the veil in his normal clothing, but then wakes up on Prospit. Bec Noir appears before him, flashing into Spades Slick to represent Karkat's mental connection between the two individuals, and extends his hand. He destroys Prospit with a massive burst of green light.
The screen zooms in on Bec Noir's triumphant but stoic face, flashing as he is wont to do. One flash shows white dots on a black background, which suddenly expands to become the entire background.
This is Jade's land, as is later learned the Land of Frost and Frogs. The sky fades from black to light gray as Jade appears, falling as she was before, now with a soft smile on her face. As she falls, everything fades even further from shades of gray into white.
Jade encounters a Becquerel-prototyped imp. She fights it, and the two teleport around the Medium due to First Guardian teleporting powers. She is seen by three time-displaced Daves, one of which is woken up when she fires her gun. Eventually they end up back where they started, but now Becsprite is there. Flashing red letters warn the player that "IT KEEPS HAPPENING".
John bleeds from his chest wound on his Quest Bed, while the Wayward Vagabond watches from his monitor. The fireflies on LOWAS fly down and land on John as his Quest Bed activates.
On Skaia, Dream John takes on John's wound while lights flash around his skaian Quest Bed. The Warweary Villein watches.
Jade, Dave, and Rose all watch Skaia as John rises up.
John, now in his God-Tier outfit, sees his dead body in a Skaia cloud.
The Wayward Vagabond's monitor deactivates as Bec Noir looks in its direction.
He flies over to Nepeta's dream self and stabs her as well. He then destroys all of Derse with Bec's powers as Nepeta's dying dream self looks on in horror.
In Derse's core, Aradia's dream self is shown sleeping on her Quest Bed. As she ascends to god tier, her soulbot self-destructs. Jack Noir, seeing this, swoops in towards Aradia, but with her newly fully realized powers she stops him in time.
The mysterious countdown is shown on Aradia's symbol of time, stopping at 4:13. It then advances to 3:14:01 on Vriska's symbol of light.
As the time advances one second more to 3:14:00, we zoom out to see Vriska, flying to find Tavros.
Vriska indicates through gesture that Tavros is going down. Tavros does likewise. With a manic grin on her face Vriska picks up Tavros's legs off the floor. Tavros then charges towards her, lance in hand. When he reaches her, she slaps him, steals his lance, stabs him through with it, and throws him off the edge.
Eridan, Vriska, and Gamzee are all standing in a circle, ready for battle. Pictures of their ancestors are shown. Kanaya, her wound covered by Eridan's cape, walks towards the three.
Shows Rose looking into the white ball purely through close-ups of the ball and Rose's eye. Images include a sun, a triangle, some grimdark text and a squiddle.
A very silly Flash where John sings about the glory of Zillyhoo. It is also shown that Gamzee has a copy of the Warhammer, and Karkat weeps before its glory. Done entirely in a scribbly art style.
John looks at the dead bodies of Dad and Mom. Rose, John, and Jack Noir look at each other. John raises his hammer and Rose her thorns as the music builds...
The player tries to control Terezi, but since there is no disc, they can't. Terezi walks down the hallway and finds a note stuck in the floor with Nepeta's claws.
The transcript of the messages in this sequence is as follows:
"You cannot control Terezi! How can you possibly expect to play this game when you have lost the game disc? All you can do is watch what she decides to do."
"You find a note stuck to the floor with Nepeta's claw. It appears to be addressed to you, written on a page torn from the journal of Vriska's ancestor. Her taunts are becoming increasingly flagrant. It also appears to be written in purple blood. She wouldn't dare harm sweet, precious Gamzee, would she? The thought is almost more than you can bear. You are going to throw the book at her."
Terezi reads Vriska's (actually Gamzee's) note. She picks up the scalemates, Lil Cal, and Pyralspite. She does an 4CROB4T1C FUCK1NG P1ROU3TT3 while doing so. She then breaks down the secret room's door and begins ascending.
Flashback to the Ancestors. Redglare attacks Mindfang's fleet. Pyralspite blinds Mindfang with his red eyes, and Mindfang's fleet is completely destroyed. Mindfang glares at Redglare, having lost her arm.
Terezi finishes ascending. Vriska is seen talking to John through Roses account, and looks at Terezi in her Redglare cosplay suit out of the corner of her eye.
Throughout the Flash, the images have defects caused by the disc's scratch.
Parts of this Flash are callbacks to a previous Flash, "[S] Dave: Ascend to the highest point of the building.", with Terezi recapitulating Dave's role.
During the scene where Pyralspite destroys Mindfang's fleet, a lone troll drifts by in a tiny boat. While unidentified in the story, this troll bears an uncanny resemblance to Guybrush Threepwood of the Secret of Monkey Island games.Troll Guybrush Threepwood observes the destruction of the Gamblingants.
This Flash is very glitchy due to the second disc being scratched. Parts of other Flashes and pages momentarily appear (even ones that had not been posted yet), and some of Vriska and Terezi's dialogue is cut off.
Terezi walks through the meteor to find Vriska. On the way, she passes tubes containing the decapitated bodies (de-upper-torso'd in Eridan's case) of Eridan, Nepeta, Feferi, Equius and Tavros. Some of the trolls' corresponding "DEAD" screens are shown amongst the glitches as she walks past.
Terezi confronts Vriska, accusing her of murdering their friends. Vriska truthfully denies having committed multiple murders, but admits to killing Tavros. Terezi does a x3 facepalm combo with help from Lil Cal.
Terezi tells Vriska that she cannot go to fight Jack, because he will follow her pixie trail and find them on the meteor. She then offers a deal: she flips her coin. Heads, Vriska stays. Scratch, she goes. Vriska asks if she really wants to challenge the Thief of Light to a game of chance, since she has AAAAAAAALLLLLLLL the luck. But she agrees. Terezi flips the coin, but the result is not revealed because of glitches.
Doc Scratch's clock ticks between Heroic and Just with Vriska's Light symbol displayed. It seems to be about to land on Just, but then Spades Slick hits it with the crowbar.
Another selection screen. Only one picture can be selected, and each is one of Terezi's COOLK1D pictures. It links to a continuation of the scene involving [o]Jade and Karkat.
Right-clicking and selecting "Play" can cause an image of Hussie to appear, an artifact left in from when the following panel was not yet complete.
A final selection screen. There's a picture which, when clicked on, is enlarged to show a COOLK1D picture modified to show Terezi SWOOOOONing over Dave, and links to scenes involving:
When the COOLK1D picture is selected, right-clicking and selecting play again can cause an image of Gamzee to appear, an artifact left in from when the following panels were not yet complete.
Shows a disk loading up. The next page loads directly from this page (showing a prompt after approximately twelve seconds, and redirecting after thirty), instead of being given a link.
There is a half-eaten ==> symbol at the top of the sheet of paper.
If the "NO FUCK THIS" written on the paper is clicked, then a gif of Andrew Hussie dancing whilst spinning in a circular motion will replace the cursor.
If the Flash is right-clicked and "Play" is selected, a series of images are shown with each "Play". First, if it's not already in place, is the spinning Hussie cursor. Second, Hussie pops up right in front of the "camera". Third, Troll Hussie moves across from right to left. Fourth is the dreaded wolf head.
We see several crumpled pieces of paper, amongst which is a picture of Bec Noir, Jade, and the Genesis Frog tadpole on the top of Jade's now immensely tall house.
The picture, when clicked on, redirects to == the end of Act 5. Before EOA5 was released, it redirected to the very first comic: Jailbreak.
If the picture is right-clicked and then "Play" is selected, the aforementioned gif of Andrew dancing will play.
The longest Flash animation in Homestuck; the scratch occurs, the Critical Moment arrives, the Tumor detonates, all interwoven with numerous other events.
We begin with a view of curtains opening, which reveals a remote transmitter with cueballs flashing on it. Cut to a view of the Unhackable Code, which begins to initiate.
Scratch's apartment, suspended in time in the middle of the Green Sun, is now visible. The cueball clock in Scratch's apartment stops ticking, and immediately afterwards Scratch begins to transform into Lord English.
As English is forming, the Cairo Overcoat is removed from its place on the Fourth wall, and it appears on his back.
The Wolf Head is visible at a point in the Flash, zooming in dramatically at points in the song.
Lord English's overcoat transforms into a sarcophagus, encasing him inside. He releases the Vast Honk.
The scene zooms back out into the Universe before a transition shifts it to a lovely young lady standing next to the mailbox, looking off into the distant sky.
It is shown that she is being watched on a computer screen with the Ophiuchus symbol on top of it. Some words are shown in the Alternian language, which read "click ==> to continue".
The song played in this Flash is Homestuck Anthem.
Jake reaches for a gun, and then an image appears to give a choice of pages to view next. There are pictures of Jane and Jake, and silhouettes of Roxy and Dirk which cannot be selected. In the background is a map showing where each character lives. There is no HTML link at the bottom of the page.
PM is seen flying off from the trolls' Incipisphere towards the Green Sun before the green curtain closes on Act 6 Intermission 1.
The storm-immersed A6I1 screen is viewed from a cloud in the unprototyped Skaia of the post-Scratch session. The view pans rapidly through Skaia showing the following events from the future:
A cloud vision of Mutie breaking through the other side.
The White and Black King in their stalemate on the unprototyped battlefield.
A cloud vision of Jake English outside the base of the ruined tower, which is surrounded by fire.
A cloud vision of the dragon Lusus flying in circles around Jake's erupting volcano.
An awakened DreamJane stares out of the window of her Prospit moon bedroom, watching these cloud visions pass by as Prospit moves into one of its solar eclipses. We see that Prospit has no towers to receive prototypedkernelsprites, the first indication that this is a void session.
This in itself is shown to be yet another cloud vision in front of a Prospit moon tower.
The song played in this Flash is Infinity Mechanism.
The image zooms in on Dirk before a character selection screen appears. There are pictures of each child, but only Roxy and Dirk can be selected. The background is plain, but moving the cursor onto one of the characters changes it to a larger picture of the character. There is no HTML link at the bottom of the page.
During the Internet Blackout protesting the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), the page then redirects to one regarding the strike and gives a form to write to your local Congress representative. It reverted to a normal HTML link once the following page was completed.
Dirk's wardrobifier vanishes to reveal an open doorway, which he walks towards.
This leads into a character selection screen as before. Roxy and Dirk can be selected.
[S] Prince of Heart: Rise up.Page 4572 This Flash cuts frequently between Dream Dirk on Derse's moon, and Jake and the Brobot on the island. Events are presented here with the two separated to avoid protracted coverage of the details.
On the island:
Jake confronts the Brobot, and initiates strife. The usual taunts cause him some consternation, as the Brobot grows extra arms for the thumbs down.
The Brobot slices Jake's first salvo of bullets in half, and the second salvo only succeeds in killing a few fairy bulls, before the Brobot catches Jake's bullets and throws them back at him. The Brobot then proceeds to start beating the crap out of Jake in earnest, with many moves echoing Dave's strifes with Bro and Lil' Cal.
The Brobot continues to humiliate Jake, as a dragon lusus, previously seen only in the distance at the start of the strife, looms relatively close in the background.
The Brobot knocks Jake's glasses and eyes off his face, causing Jake to have to pick them back up. No sooner does Jake retrieve them than the Brobot grabs him before he has a chance to react, and carries him high into the air, before slamming him down into the ground.
Jake attempts to retaliate against the Brobot by latching onto it and ineffectually hitting it on the head. He then holds on as it tries to throw him off. Eventually, he manages to grab the Brobot's shades, and stomps on them. The Brobot simply puts on another pair, before laying the smackdown on Jake with one punch.
Dirk's dream self leaves his room and takes his glasses off briefly, as first seen first in [S] Roxy: Sleepwalk. He then retrieves the Hegemonic Brute's head and flies around Derse's moon with it to show the residents. He accumulates a large crowd of Dersites following him.
The Dersite monarch observes this, and via the Fenestrated Walls, directs the Draconian Dignitary to deal with the situation. She is seen to be wearing a ring with no orbs.
Dream Dirk picks up a spike with a banner on it, which he cuts off. Meanwhile, the Draconian Dignitary walks through the streets of the moon, following Dream Dirk's trail. Dream Dirk is seen to have stuck the Hegemonic Brute's head on the spike on top of a monument, and departed the scene before the Draconian Dignitary's arrival. Also stuck on the spike is the cover page of the Enquiring Carapacian bearing the news of Dream Jane's death.
The Draconian Dignitary approaches the monument, and takes the scrap of newspaper. Written on it, he finds a message from Dirk: "The Prince is awake. Your shit is wrecked."
[S] Jane: Enter.Page 4665
This scene cuts between Jane, Jake, Dirk and Roxy at various points. This isn't preserved in the following description, as it describes the scenes organised by characters.
The Flash starts by zooming in to Jane's house.
Jane's server player drops a safe on the cruxtruder, confusing Jane's Dad.
This creates the kernel, starts a countdown at 1:11 and breaks open the safe to reveal cans of Barbasol.
The kernel appears to speak to Jane's Dad, but in patterns rather than words. He does not react.
Jane creates her entry item with her totem lathe and climbs the stairs, with the kernel following.
The server player moves Poppop Crocker towards the kernel.
GCat appears, surprising Jane's Dad, and transports Poppop into space in a green flash. A Crocker spaceship later flies near to him.
Jane's totem produces a tree. She is confused by this.
When the timer nears 0:00, Jane's house starts to glow blue.
Jane and her kernel sprite are transported to a black place with blue spots, and she is surrounded by a strange blue halo, while observing the sudden appearance of a Crocker battleship.
Jane's house eventually vanishes, leaving a hole in the ground.
The spaceship flies over Jane's neighbourhood. And a the scene proceeds to show her neighbourhood in a few years.
After the first part of Jane's sequence, it switches to Jake.
Jake stands on his island, near to the frog temple. A whale lusus floats overhead.
He is later seen using an elevator in the frog temple.
It next switches to Dirk.
Dirk climbs his stairs, holding Cal.
Dirk emerges onto a platform out at sea, similar to Dave's house after he enters the medium.
Dirk stands with his sword ready as a number of Crocker drones fly towards him.
Dirk's first sequence fades out to show one involving Roxy.
A picture of SN_HUBGRID 44.519872,-74.820017 (the location of her house) is shown.
Roxy uses a control to produce rungs leading up the side of the half-cylinder room she is in and open the door at the top.
She then climbs to the top, and watches as Crocker drones fly towards her.
There are also a few images showing locations much like those familiar to the pre-Scratch kids, as well as similar ones from the future flooded world. The first of these is introduced with "Years in the future, but not many".
Most of Jane's neighbourhood, including the place where her house stood, is underwater.
A large number of red somewhat tree-like structures stand nearby, partly submerged.
Jake's island is largely submerged, with only the (now dormant) volcano and the frog temple visible.
There is a red structure in the position of each tower. White structures (presumably tentacles) are looped around one of the red structures and also the frog temple's neck.
Dirk's neighbourhood is also underwater. But shown in its original state shortly before.
Roxy's house is not submerged, but it is in the middle of a densely packed group of black and white buildings, grouped in a checkerboard pattern peaking out of the sea.
When Dirk and Roxy emerge from their buildings, it becomes clear that they are in the altered locations of the future and had been there all along.
A sequence of Crocker-related images are shown at the end of the Flash.
These include her spoon logo, a number of products (such as Fruit Gushers, Hamburger Helper, Bacos, Fruit Roll-Ups, Brownie Mix, Old El Paso taco kit, Bisquick) a pack of fruit gushers, a "Visit Mars" advert, adverts for Hamburger Helper and Bacos and a picture of Guy Fieri.
Pictures of the new queen of Derse are also shown, one of her mouth and another of her torso.
Some subliminal messages are also shown ("CEASE REPRODUCTION", "OBEY", "STAY ASLEEP", "SUBMIT TO CULLING", "CONSUME", "COMPLY WITH DRONES").
She sees the author avatar collapsed between two large Iguana statues; this reveals that she is likely walking across the desert of LoSaZ .
He holds up a ring and asks her, "Will you marry me?".
Vriska reacts with shock. Can't think why; she should be flattered.
This page is unusual for a couple of technical reasons. Firstly and most obviously, neither the HTML page nor the Flash file has a normal Homestuck-style URL (the page above is a redirect to a page named "DOTA", standing for Death of the Author); unlike, say, [S] Ride. (URL of the form "?s=6&p=pony"), this URL is not within the Homestuck section of MSPA. Secondly, there is also no text on the HTML page – the title shown here only appears on links to it. A third curiosity is that the volume control doesn't appear in the preloader, instead appearing only once the Flash begins in earnest, but the page is not unique in this respect, as some previous pages have also behaved in this way.
This sequence contains a mixture of recaps and new events.
The loading sequence is a picture of Edward Morton.
Shows the desk DD is using (complete with coffee, ash tray, Gray Ladies and ring).
DD smokes, drinks "coffee", and looks at the Gray Ladies, and spins the ring against his cup.
Ms. Paint kneels by the body of Andrew Hussie and cries.
Jade and Davesprite read the first Midnight Crew comic.
Equius drinks some milk then breaks the glass, surprising Aradia.
Alternia's purple moon is shown with an even smaller purple moon nearby and a blue tree-like structure with purple leaves in front of it.
Jake's room is shown, also with blue branches in it.
Jake is shown collapsed, wearing his skulltop.
Aranea leads Jake along a blue branch, with Meenah waiting in the distance.
The Condesce waits impatiently.
The bed on which Spades Slick lay is shown lying in the lake it fell in.
Spades Slick climbs to the top of the cliff next to it, surprising Ms. Paint.
He accepts a glass of milk from Aurthour.
PM and Bec Noir continues to fly through the Outer Ring. A spade and a heart are shown to represent their feelings.
Dirk sits on a wall on Derse.
Jane lies on the ground on Prospit.
Andrew Hussie holds Spades Slick in his bed as Slick stabs him.
Flashes forward through Andrew Hussie being shot by Lrd English, slowing to show Andrew Hussie lying on the floor.
Andrew Hussie proposes to Vriska shocking her.
Vriska withdraws her hand as Andrew Hussie tries to place a ring on her finger, and then knocks him and the ring flying.
Dirk fights Crocker drones.
Jack Noir unsuccessfully attempts to persuade a guard to give him a key to his cell.
Spades Slick looks at a card with a hole shot through it.
A gun hits Lrd English, and falls down.
Roxy confronts some Crocker drones, but flees when they start firing.
Spades Slick refuses a bottle of milk.
The picture of Edward Morton from the start is shown, now with flashing eyes, immediately followed by the text "WHO'S THIS DOUCHEBAG" scrolling down the screen.
On Jane's planet, she finds a hat (with Lil' Sebastian watching), calling back to when Aradia found a fedora.
The Condesce uses her unlocked powers to control the GCat (who is lying on her lap).
There are scenes from [S] All: Behold glory of Zillyhoo., including John with the hammer, Gamzee with the hammer and a lute, and both of them together, finally ending with them kissing.
The last leads to a still of Jane (originally taken from a conversation with Jake) thinking "What the fuck?".
The sequence ends with a shot of the Midnight Crew, followed by DD finally placing the ring on his finger.
John then renames the bunny Liv Tyler, and the rest of its life in the Sburb Beta session is shown.
Liv Tyler is shown to have died in the explosion that created the Green Sun. The faces of actor Terry Kiser (as Bernie Lomax) and actress Liv Tyler appear over the Green Sun.
Another character selection screen. Short sections involving Jane, Jake, Roxy and Dirk can be selected. Or you can skip all of them and go to a second section which starts by following Roxy.
Before the pages were completed for each character, clicking one one of the unfinished ones brought up a picture of Andrew Hussie in a troll costume throwing a chess board with red and green pieces. The message "PANELS AREN'T DONE!" appears at the bottom.
Another character selection screen. There's a chatlog involving undyingUmbrage alone at the bottom, and he provides a commentary (slightly marred by viewport issues) during short sections involving Jane, Jake, Roxy and Dirk. You can skip all of these if you would rather look at some lamps.
A brief animation which shows the four lamps on LOCAH. All but Jake's are lit at first, but Jane's goes out, followed by Roxy's, and then Dirk's dims to a weak glow.
The Red Miles reach through space and surround Earth.
Dirk awakens, captchalogues Squarewave (who has compacted himself into a small cube), runs into his room, plugs in the Fenestrated Wall, jumps on the cruxtruder to open it, grabs his sendificator and Cruxite Dowel, and uses his Rocket Board to fly out the window. He throws Sawtooth the dowel, then flies back inside, grinds on the Totem Lathe and passes through his Fenestrated Wall.
As he flies through the void, Meenah runs up to him and jumps. The two perform a mid-air high-five.
Dirk exits through one of Roxy's Fenestrated Walls and lands in her house. He deploys Squarewave and kisses Roxy's corpse.
Roxy's dream self awakens on Derse. She notices Jane's corpse is lying nearby.
Dirk grabs one of Roxy's buckets and deploys the sendificator.
Roxy prepares to kiss Jane's corpse.
Dirk puts the bucket in the sendificator and activates it.
Roxy finds herself unable to kiss Jane.
Dirk puts the sendificator on top of his head.
Roxy still can't kiss Jane.
Dirk's head is sendificated off of his body. His decapitated corpse falls onto the floor.
Dirk's dream self awakens on Derse. He sees Roxy still hasn't kissed Jane, so he kicks her out of the way and kisses Jane himself.
Jane's dream self awakens on Prospit.
Dirk grabs Roxy and the two fly away from Derse on the Rocket Board.
Jane uses the transportalizer and arrives inside the Frog Temple on Earth.
Dirk and Roxy fly to the meteor containing the Frog Temple.
The two emerge from the temple's time capsule and pick up Jane, who desperately clings to Roxy as they fly over Jake's island. The bucket Dirk sendificated appears in the air, and he grabs it and fills it with seawater before arriving at the ruins of Jake's house. Dirk throws the water on an unconscious Jake to wake him up, which starts a previously-seen chain of events (beginning here) that ends with Jake kissing Dirk's severed head to revive him. Jake turns around and notices that the other kids are watching him; he throws the head away out of terror while Jane and Roxy watch with shock and disgust.
As Calliope lies asleep on the sarswapagus, the green swirls on her cheeks turn red.
Lrd English's sarcophagus flies past the Act 6 curtains and disappears.
The red swirls turn into full circles. Caliborn takes control of the body and awakens.
The sarcophagus emerges in the Furthest Ring and flies into a dream bubble. Its arrival is witnessed by the dead doomed timeline kids and trolls, who have all gathered in the bubble. It lands atop a Time quest bed and opens, revealing Lrd English.
Caliborn sits up, the sarswapagus swirls having both changed to full red circles.
Caliborn removes his shackle, then bites through the leg bound with Calliope's shackle. He discards his foot and spits out a tooth, then attaches a robot foot to where his own used to be and acquires his weapon: a staff that turns into an assault rifle.
In the dream bubble, English uses the White Wand. It lets him shoot a beam of energy from his mouth, killing the doomed timeline characters. The dream bubble explodes with a shattered glass effect.
Caliborn stands atop his roof, covered in blood and waiting to enter the game. His cruxtruder displays ~U as a countdown, and the two kernels, released at the same time flash red and green.
On the trolls' meteor, Dave witnesses the dream bubble explosion.
The kernels collapse into each other and become a black hole that devours everything nearby. Caliborn's meteor enters the game as it escapes the black hole.
Bec Noir and PM witness the dream bubble explosion. They stop fighting and look on with discomfort.
The black hole devours plasma from the red sun of Calliope and Caliborn's planet, forming the symbol Calliope had nightmares about.
Jack flies out of the dream bubble. The Bunny Sassacre Fedora on his head falls off and reenters the bubble. PM also flies out and resumes chasing Jack.
As the focus zooms out to show the fractures in reality around the bubble, the end of A6I3 curtains appear. They are quickly revealed to be a psycheout, and the focus returns to inside the dream bubble.
Spread over five individual Flashes, John walks through the dream bubble version of the Land of Sand and Zephyr and Land of Maps and Treasure. Several white horses pass by him, and he stares at one with bewilderment. He walks up to the statue of two iguanas. Tavros is lying face down on the statue's base.
Meenah and Vriska confront each other and clash over their plans.
Vriska calls John and Tavros to mock Meenah, resulting in Meenah pitchforking John, causing Vriska to decide it is time for battle. Both sides change into their god tier outfits before calling for backup from each of their sessions.
However, most believe it is actually a costume party, and countless duplicates of all the trolls show up in a variety of garbs, with Tavros frantically searching for the ring in the process.
Meenah and Vriska decide to clear the way for their fight and agree to the use of all present ghosts to whichever side wins, with a draw meaning that they will cooperate in "one huge clusterfuck plan".
Just as the two Thieves are about to clash, it switches to a drawing of Callie Ohpeee trying to stop them.
The song in this Flash is Killed by BR8K Spider!!!!!!!!
The flash included numerous easter eggs and shout outs:
Tavros is acting like Gollum.
Mituna asks if anyone has seen his "H4ML3T", then Kurloz showed up dressed like Hamlet (A prince who succumbed to his rage).
There is only one Gamzee, and he is wearing his Bard of Rage outfit. Chronologically, this appears to be earliest point in the timeline when anyone has seen him in that outfit.
A Terezi is wearing Dave's broken record shirt.
There are two half-dead, half-alive Solluxes.
There are Tavroses wearing the Page of Breath outfit, a Pupa Pan costume and a variation of Vriska's fairy dress with Tavros' sign and brown wings.
French maid costume Equius.
The first canon appearance of Kanaya in the black and white dress originally designed by Slunk for Alterniabound.
The first canon appearance of March Madness Eridan.
Six Eridans with wands, wizard hats and regular living eyes instead of black white ghost eyes. (This does not necessarily mean they are alive, Aranea was able to look like a living Vriska while she was re-enacting one of Terezi's memories in Act 6 Intermission 2.)
Kankri without his sweater, and Kankri in rainbow grub pyjamas.
Porrim in an EGL dress.
Cronus with a leather jacket.
Mituna in a bee costume.
Prospit and Derse Mituna dream selves.
Meulin with a cat sweater.
Meulin wearing Horuss' steampunk mask.
Horuss in a horse fursuit.
Damara in a red sailor fuku, Damara cosplaying as Sailor Moon and Rufioh cosplaying as Tuxedo Mask.
Horsebody!Rufioh.
God tier versions of each of the twelve Beforan trolls.
The characters' assumption of the ghostly gathering being a costume party is an obvious reference to Halloween, which was three days prior to and the intended date for the release, though it was stalled due to the trouble involving the MSPA server in New York and Hurricane Sandy.
The curtains open, showing the map of the B2 session's Incipisphere. As the focus zooms in, each planet and its gates change into the color of their respective player, and the graphic representing Skaia is replaced with the actual Skaia.
A bright white light flashes, and the focus rapidly zooms away from Skaia. A purple X appears and turns into part of Jake's planet, the Land of Mounds and Xenon.
The surface of LOMAX is shown. The planet is covered in burial mounds and dotted with Stonehedge-like monuments. Skeleton Underlings roam the landscape. Jake shoots at a Basilisk; he is wearing a new outfit, wields dual golden pistols and now possesses a Sweet Bro tattoo on his shoulder that matches Dirk's Hella Jeff tattoo.
Roxy's land, the Land of Pyramids and Neon, is shown. Giant pyramids with glowing neon points dominate the scenery. Jane and Roxy appear wielding new weapons: Roxy has a sendificator rifle and Jane has a giant fork with a miniature Skaia on the bottom. Jane jumps into a Fenestrated Wall and Roxy shoots the top of a pyramid with the rifle. The other wall appears where Roxy shot and Jane rockets out of it, reaching a gate.
Jack carves another mark into the wall.
Dirk's land, the Land of Tombs and Krypton, is shown. The planet features towering, skyscraper-sized tombs and an unbreathable atmosphere, as Dirk and Jake are both shown wearing gas masks while preparing to ambush some Underlings. Yaldabaoth (or a statue of him) sits on top of a tomb.
Jack carves another mark into his wall, and his golden spire snaps after he finishes. 153 marks in total have been carved, indicating that the date is April 12, 2012, the day before the B1 kids and surviving trolls arrive in the new session.
As Jack looks out the window at Skaia, the focus zooms out to show it and all four planets. The End of Act curtains then appear.
In a parody of Myststuck, Caliborn comes across Gamzee, who offers to be Caliborn's guide. The reader is given two choices on how to respond, but both choices are the same: a picture of Caliborn staring.
Caliborn and Gamzee proceed to stare at each other for several seconds, neither saying anything. Caliborn then pulls out his machine gun and unloads a stream of bullets into Gamzee's torso. The gunfire knocks the "wings" off of Gamzee's god tier outfit, revealing them to be fake.
Continuing the Myststuck parody, the music used is Elevatorstuck.
Spread out over three pages, Caliborn walks away from Gamzee while continuing to shoot him. After taking several dozen bullets to the chest, Gamzee at last falls onto the ground, his fake wings floating down beside him. Caliborn shoots him one last time.
Elevatorstuck is also used as the music for these pages.
A horribly injured Gamzee drags himself over to Caliborn and tries to give him a SkaiaNet hub to plug into the tower. Caliborn guns him down once more, sending the hub flying out of Gamzee's hands. It lands next to the keyboard on the tower's computer terminal.
Elevatorstuck is also used as the music on this page (because Caliborn doesn't like it).
Caliborn hits the MSPA command tower with the crowbar to stop the music as the site falls apart from repeated hits. This page does not have the normal URL as it simply says 007395/ as opposed to ?s=6&p=007395. Using that format does however redirect to the flash.
The music is mutable after Caliborn knocks the tilde off of the volume button.
As Jane dances on her balcony, she gives off a wave of energy that revives the dead tree next to her house. She blasts off and flies away.
This projects Gamzee away, just like with the Tavrisplosion.
The wave of energy revives a lot of the dead plant life on LOCAH while killing all underlings and interestingly leaving only Zillium grist in their place.
Jane flies away from LOCAH, and the curtains close on the act.
The music used for this flash was not listed on the Sound Credits page, but it is probably a part of Trickster Mode.
Trickster Jane emerges from a portal and arrives in a colorful landscape filled with floating islands (identical in appearance to the ones in Problem Sleuth), castles and lollipop trees. The cherubic figures from the Warhammer of Zillyhoo Flash fly next to her; if you mash the spacebar, Jane hits them with her lollipop and destroys them, leaving more Zillium grist.
Caliborn watches the scene on his monitor. Gamzee looks on, stunned once more.
Jane flies next to some Horrorterrors. If the spacebar is mashed, she turns them into Squiddles.
Caliborn breaks into a joyful grin while Gamzee covers his eyes.
Jane flies next to some winged cherubs. If the spacebar is mashed, she gives them a Lil Cal color scheme and heads.
Gamzee hits himself on the head repeatedly.
As the cherubs follow her, Jane enters another portal and leaves.
A mesmerized Caliborn continues to watch the scene.
Clicking on the scrolling bar of confections at the top of the site produces various sound effects.
It's interesting to note that Caliborn's reaction doesn't change even if no button-mashing is performed, leaving the inhabitants of the bizarre zone Jane enters entirely unchanged. Which may actually be more unsettling than if she changes everything she encounters.
Jane appears with her mustache and a magnifying glass, next to an animation of Jake twerking and booty shaking in Trickster Mode, which can be viewed clearly by zooming in.
The reader must click on the magnifying glass,and then the small animation 11 times. The first ten clicks prompt different sentences,and the 11th click shows Jake in Trickster Mode.
Roxy engages Trickster Mode and dances just offscreen. Jake, Jane, Erisolsprite and the Courtyard Droll watch; Jake is holding a large vaudevillian shepherd's crook and has hooked Roxy with it.
The reader is instructed to help Jake tug Roxy back onscreen by pressing the left and right arrow keys repeatedly. Each alternate left-right press counts as one "tug" of the crook.
When the reader has tugged 111 times, Roxy is pulled onscreen and Erisolsprite and the Droll are knocked over.
Alternatively, you can also just hold down the arrow key.
Once this is accomplished, you are asked if you want to play again. The options are "no" and "fuck no", but mousing over them replaces them both with a large "yes" button that restarts the Flash when clicked.
A map is shown of seven continents, each marked with a blinking "Z?". A green-and-red spiral compass rose spins in the bottom right corner, and a pink sea monster swims next to one of the continents.
Once the background music finishes playing, a gleeful Caliborn appears on screen with the caption WORLDBUILDING.
Caliborn and Gamzee prepare to turn their keys. A short countdown from 3 is displayed. When it ends, they turn the keys simultaneously.
After a brief flash of light, two monitors are activated on the tower and begin to loudly hum. The one on the left shows the Heart and Void symbols, and the one on the right shows the Hope and Life symbols.
Interestingly, the monitor for the Prospit dreamer kids is on the same side as Caliborn (a Derse dreamer) and the monitor for the Derse dreamer kids is on the same side as Gamzee (a Prospit dreamer)
Feferi and Nepeta fly away bringing Sollux with them.
Attempting to click the back button causes the button to jump around the screen while changing its dimensions and orientations before eventually becoming Nicolas Cage's face. Clicking his face causes him to exclaim "boner" and resets the back button to its starting position.
Kurloz picks up Vriska's pirate coat in his miracle modus sylladex and leaves.
Clicking the back arrow causes a multitude to appear on the screen, most of which honk and one of which (in the top left corner) actually restarts the Flash.
John runs over to Vriska and Aranea, who are standing on the sun-shaped platform representing Yaldabaoth's head, and jumps onto it as it begins to descend. Meenah and Aradia float down and join them while the platform starts to lose its color. When it is completely gray, it stops and a stone pedestal ascends from the platform's center; atop it is a red chest.
Clicking the back button causes another one to appear, and clicking on those causes even more to appear in increasingly elaborate designs until they are replaced with 16 Nicolas Cage heads. Clicking on any of them makes a giant distorted picture of Cage appear while a pitched-down version of the "boner" sound clip plays. A new back button appears in the usual location and actually replays the Flash when clicked.
In a callback to the opening of Act 6 Act 5, John sits atop the stone slab with the fourth wall. He thinks about Rose, Dave, and the trolls (though he only remembers Karkat at the moment) and lets out the deepest sigh of all. Erisolsprite briefly flips him off and leaves.
John begins to perform a number of activities:
Playing solitare (during which he forms a four-ace-three with the cards)
Opening a bag of Fruit Gushers
Ironing his pants
Riding the Green Slime Ghost Pogo with a can of shaving cream in each hand
Watching Con Air
Making a Sburb logo-shaped house of cards
After completing the house of cards, he stands triumphant atop the slab. Suddenly, Rose, Dave, the trolls (sans Gamzee) and WV are teleported next to him and land on the ground, causing the house of cards to fall down.
Nicolas Cage recites a line from Snake Eyes while his voice distorts, his face turns green, and bizarre music plays. It is unknown whether this has any relevance at all, considering the reason it was created.
AND YOU...GOT ONE!
Boner
The last 25 seconds of Frustracean contains the line from the Flash. The first 25 seconds of the song itself was used for the preceding Flash.
At first, Hussie asked Toby "Radiation" Fox to make the song for the first Flash, mimicking Hardlyquin. But he slipped in 2 minutes of silence followed by the "Cage's boner clip", tempting Hussie to make this Flash. As seen here
A horribly distorted version of "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" plays with an image of Nicolas Cage in Con Air. Cage then turns red, before being replaced by a photograph of Andrew Hussie and music team member Toby "Radiation" Fox, both wearing fake glasses, and Radiation giving the middle finger.
