[Image description: A collage of everyone spending time and having fun on Harley’s Island. 

The first panel shows Rose reading under a tree in the dark. She has a lamp next to her to give her light. In the background, Roxy is sleeping. They’re using a tree-trunk as a pillow.

The second panel shows Dave leaning on a counter with an empty glass next to him. He’s smiling. Jane is standing at another counter, with a full drink and a plate with some snacks in front of her. She’s asking what Dave would like, and he responds with apple juice. In the distance, Dirk and Jake are standing together on a hill, looking at the horizon.

The third panel shows Dirk and Jake sitting on a couch, watching movies together. Dirk looks nervous, and he has one of his hands close to Jake’s. Jake doesn’t seem to notice. Bec is sleeping next to the couch.

The fourth panel shows Jade and June in Jade’s room. June is trying Jade’s clothes on and excitedly looking at how she looks. Jade also looks very pleased.]

[Captions:]

June: yes, actually! jade managed to find a cruise that was on course near their island and bought tickets for all of us! it was a really fun week!

What’s it like having Bec around instead of any other human contact (besides each other) on your island?

[Image description: Jade and Jake are sitting on opposite sides of a tree. Jade is wistfully looking in the distance. She has a dog tail attached to her belt, and she’s barefoot. There’s birds flying away on her side, as well as a research facility in the background. Jake is petting Bec, whose tail is wagging. They’re both smiling. The background on Jake’s side shows a wild jungle.]

[Captions:]

Jade: i guess... it can get a bit boring and lonely at times

Jade: jake seems to enjoy it a lot more than i do, but he is a bit more of a loner than me

Jade: i love bec and my brother, but it can be tiring to only have them around and noone else

Harleys, your island must be a beautiful place to live in! I'm concerned, though, isn't it a bit dangerous in the same time?

[Image description: The first panel shows Jake and Jade resting on the beach. Jade is lying down in the shade, shoes off. Jake is sitting up and staring off at the horizon. Bec is also running around and chasing seagulls.]

[Captions:]

Jake: Well golly gee wickers it sure must seem like that from abroad. But it really isnt as bad as you think! Most of the time the island is quite the safe haven, in fact.

[The second panel shows Harleys in a fighting stance. Bec is baring his teeth, Jake has his double pistols out, and Jade is clutching her rifle. They all have serious expressions.]

[Captions:]

Jake: Sure there is some wildwood here and there with some less than chummy critters, but we know how to defend ourselves! And bec is always there to help too!

Oh, isn’t that neat.  The monument looks exactly like the tower in which you live.

Now we could assume that your tower was built to replicate this monument or we COULD do the logical thing and take this as proof that the island exists in a time spiral, constantly looping around on itself over and over and over ad infinitum.  I bet tomorrow Grandpa will be alive and well again.  And probably like 6 years old.

Here we confirm that Jade lives on that island we saw at the end of Act 2. Sometimes I feel these notes would benefit from an OBVIOUS TRIVA ZONE, about stuff that should be obvious, but you never know. Her house is modeled after her moon tower on Prospit. The ruins are a model of the incipisphere, with the frog in the center representing Skaia (which is where a giant frog is supposed to go). Prospit closely orbits, so is attached to the main temple (broken off). The four planets surround it in the Medium represented by water. The circular edge of the crater is the Veil (consisting appropriately of meteors). And just outside is Derse (also broken). The volcano is called the Forge, which also plays a key role in the overal system here. Oh, and the ruins are sevel levels tall, representing the seven gates one needs to ascend through to reach Skaia.

Author notes of Homestuck Book 3

Wow. Even the water and the crater are a symbolic representation??

And... Is Andrew implying here, that the islands at the edge of the crater are not just representations of, but actual specimens of, Veil meteors???
