So, what do you guys think the odds are on him showing the last three B2 planets in the upcoming flash?  I need them for reasons I can't disclose at the moment.

(Extrapolated from the given first letters and following Jane's Crypts and Helium "burial and noble gas" pattern):

Dirk: Land of Pyramids and Neon

Roxy: Land of Tombs and Krypton

Jake: Land of Mausoleums and Xenon

You can extrapolate from the names :P

Unfortunately, I lack the skill to draw them from the (probable) names.  So far, I've got all of the B1 planets, as well as Jane's.  I need the remaining three to finish off the B2 Incipisphere collection.  It isn't all that important that I get them, though, so if it's going to take more than a week or so to see the final planets I'm going to move on without them.

Could you explain how you worked that out?
That seems more like guesswork than an actual method.

Because it has been shown that their planets are called LOPAN, LOTAK and LOMAX(aharharhar).

Where was this? I didn't see the planet names anywhere.
I feel like I keep missing things.

It was in the Myst flashes with Jane wandering all over the place dealing with weird puzzle shit.

If I remember correctly.

Yeah, it was mentioned in some of the salamander journals IIRC.

I'm listening to some of the volumes on the homestuck bandcamp... The squiddles volume is objectively the best.

It is really great. Michael Guy Bowman has said that the Squiddles album is definitely one of the best, musically, that the team's ever done--but nobody gives it a chance because of the subject.

I particularly like the squiddles stuff because of the funny juxtaposition of little-kids-show style overly simplistic-cutesy with the dark, somewhat adult themes. The entire volume plays out sort of like a huge piece of dark comedy whose punchline comes in #18. Which is then sort of followed up in the squiddles piece in the additional mayhem of the Universe B volume.

I think Skipper Plumbthroat would make a pretty interesting character.

The predominant theory is that Plumbthroat symbolizes LE or whoever is killing the Horrorterrors(Jack? Eridan? Jake?), so he probably already is an established character.

So, what do you guys think the odds are on him showing the last three B2 planets in the upcoming flash?  I need them for reasons I can't disclose at the moment.

No clue.
The Flash will be either a minigame (on LOMAX) or a fast-forward through the first levels of SBURB. Or something I would never think of. Probably that.

I just realized that I have no idea what Homestuck cosmology is like anymore.

The Furthest Ring is apparently the space outside the Skaia session. I.e. you have Skaia, then Prospit ring, LoXaX ring, Derse ring, Meteor ring, Furthest Ring.

However, Universe Frogs contain multiple sessions - Alpha and Beta Kids sessions are contained in a single Frog, and presumably the two Troll sessions are both in their Frog. (And presumably the Cherub session is in a third Frog, and so on by species...)

However, the Green Sun is ignited in the Furthest Ring, and is visible to the Kids and Troll sessions, (and presumably others, since Guardians are apparently a pretty matter-of-fact thing...) indicating that the Furthest Ring is outside the Frogs, instead of the sessions.

I guess that considering the Furthset Ring is supposed to make a mockery of time and space, this should be expected, but I still find myself wondering where the Horrorterrors are now, to figure out who's the most likely suspect for Plumbthroat.

And that's all assuming that the Sburb sessions take place in the same dimension as the universe frogs... If not, then the green sun energy is crossing dimensional boundaries to empower the Guardians, which... isn't that far-fetched, I guess.

Nono, sessions are not in frogs, only the home universes of players. The sessions are all within the confines of the Furthest Ring, and every universe is inside a session. When players activate their entry item, they are transported from their universe inside an incipisphere, to their own incipisphere. The green sun exists outside of all of the frogs.
