Man I'm loving this intermission so far, because it's about characters I actually like.
So I gathered though that Johns group is pretty much expendable at this point though right? As they aren't the players and all.

nah theyre still the main characters
Alpha John/Jade/Rose/Dave are expendable and aren't players, and they're already dead. Dave was wondering if they would meet themselves or child versions of their ecto-siblings.
So I just checked out Dante's tumblr, and I found this little thing.
[quote= Dante]Things are going great in the Philippines. I’ll post some video soon. We can still use help fulfilling our kickstarter: [url]http://kck.st/xlJtYf[/url] I’m trying to figure a way to reward my Homestucks that support us on kickstarter, maybe send out Rufio Stickers or even doing some voice acting for a HS character.[/quote]
Voice acting someone. Hmm.
va the summoner and no one else

Tavros' thoughts.
That's the only real option.
Strange Dante hasn't commented on the interactive flashes. I worry that he misses out on some of the content/context.
and not a word of SBaHJ.
I still don't get where the meteors that are sent to the adjusted times came from
if they were already sent through the portals at the end of act 4, where do the scratch ones come from

how could one meteor go through two different portals

It doesn't go through two portals, it goes through one. The 'second' is skaia re-configuring to send them through to the other session, as it knows that that session won't ever have a reckoning.

Maybe the universe containing earth + game session split into two timelines sometime before the portals were opened, thus Alpha and Beta universes being the same universe but in two alternate timelines, one with portals leading to original points, the other with adjusted destinations?

if they already went through the green ones how could it reconfigure them to be red if the green ones were already used and are gone now

Remember how Rose said that the Scratch creates an alternate timeline that instead of dooming everyone actually gives them hope?
ROSE: It can decide to send important meteors to different points in time than originally planned, thus creating alternate realities.
ROSE: Offshoots of promise, rather than futility.
Yeah guess that explains it.

if i had to guess? they are meteors from a beta timeline in the prescratch session, and the portals sent them to postscratch on the alpha timeline

I just still don't get how it can decide to change where they go if it already happened
[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;35165935]I just still don't get how it can decide to change where they go if it already happened[/QUOTE]
it makes sense if skaia has access to its portals on any point in the session's timeline
just go back and fwoop new locations bitch
but if it went back in time and changed them, we would have seen that the first time around and the first gang could never have been born
it can only happen once
all I can tell is that Hussie is suddenly using broken, tv-show time travel mechanics this time where you can just 'go back and change something', and that's real shitty
time bullshit
its just time bullshit
does anything about homestuck's weird time bullshit [U][I]ever[/I][/U] make sense? no.

It's an alternate timeline so if it happenned we wouldn't be able to see it since we were following the alpha timeline.
up until now it's all made sense with casuality
[QUOTE=rysunles;35166205]It's an alternate timeline so if it happenned we wouldn't be able to see it since we were following the alpha timeline.[/QUOTE]
but how can it make a decision in the past? it would have needed to know that the session would be scratched before the gang even knew what a scratch was
[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;35166046]it can only happen once[/QUOTE]
False? The entire mechanism here is that the portals split into the batch we know now, and the new guys. We just didn't see both of them during Descend, we only saw the prescratch one.

With all the temporal energy in the beat mesa. And considering everything else it knows about itself, that it's going to be scratched doesn't seem too big a stretch
Think of it this way:
Skaia knows everything that has and will happen in a session and knew that the beta kids would initiate the scratch. This is why it autonomously created an alternate timeline in which the portals that carried the most important meteors (the ones carrying the kids) are redirected to post scratch earth.

Salty come on this isn't hard stuff
Yeah. The portals are bifurcated because later John will scratch beat mesa. There are no prototyping towers for the reset kids because none of them will prototype before entry. Bec is prototyped because of the chain of events resulting from said prototyping (namely Jack's entry into the troll session, which drove them to contact the kids at all, which led to said events). It doesn't have to be cause and effect, it can be effect and cause.
