In both in real life and in the world of Homestuck, Snapchat is an ephemeral photographic messaging service. On October 22, 2016, Andrew Hussie posted[citation needed] a Snapchat code leading to an official mspaofficial Snapchat account; Snapchats from this account, sent from the point of view of the Homestuck cast, told stories continuing on from the events of Homestuck's ending. As of December 23, 2016, these stories were seemingly discontinued, and in the year following the account was used sparingly for communications from creators before being quietly phased out.
Though the first of the Snapchat stories was simply a mirror of the Homestuck Credits included in the comic, subsequent stories went further, detailing days in the lives of the inhabitants of Earth C. Writer V, contributor to The Homestuck Epilogues, described these stories as "some non-canonical extra stuff to play with" "along the lines of paradox space";[note 1] since then, however, the events of these stories have been referenced
in Homestuck: Beyond Canon, apparently placing them in continuity with other postcanonical spinoffs.
A sequential mirror of the snaps is available on MS Paint Fan Adventures.
CanonOctober 24, 2016[]
These snaps follow after the events of Act 7, and comprise the first 11 snaps in the credits sequence, where the players set up the starting conditions for Earth C's new society. Snaps which only appeared in the credits video itself can be found here.

Dubiously CanonOctober 31 - Halloween[]
These snaps display the players and various civilians engaging in Earth C Halloween traditions.
A neighborhood of can-homes strung up with lights and decorated with Jack-o'-lanterns.
John takes a selfie, showing Jake's Na'vi (potentially Jake Sully) cosplay, the subject of everyone else's discomfort, as he opted to be mostly nude for the costume. John is dressed up as the candy corn vampire version of Problem Sleuth, Kanaya is dressed up as Rose's Mom, and Rose is dressed up as the Dolorosa. There is a Halloween sign in the background.
Three Trick-or-Treaters are standing at the door in the Troll Kingdom. Respectively, a troll cosplaying Lord English with a skull candy bag, a human cosplaying the Condesce with a clam purse candy bag, and a carapacian cosplaying Bec Noir with a devilbeast pumpkin candy bag.
Dave takes a selfie of himself dressed as Hella Jeff, Dirk dressed as Sweet Bro, and Karkat problematically portraying Geromy. They are all on a staircase, and a banner in the background appears to be "WARNE"ing them.
In what appears to be the Consort Kingdom, we see Gcatavrosprite dressed as Jake Harley, Jasprosesprite^2 wearing a Jack-o'-lantern on her head, a Turtle consort dressed up as a Turtle consort, a Salamander consort with John's bedsheet (possibly dressed up as Casey), and a Crocodile consort dressed up as Dad.
Calliope takes a selfie of her, Roxy, Jane, and Jade dressed up as Ghostbusters and chasing after the two Nannasprites in the Consort Kingdom.
Gamzee sends a selfie to Jake of himself dressed as Caliborn, and Caliborn in the background dressed as Jake.
We see the three finalists in a costume contest: In 3rd, a carapacian dressed up as John; In 2nd, a troll dressed up as Jade; In 1st, a Crocodile dressed up as dead doomed Felt suit Dave.
Two carapacians sneak bites from a pile of pumpkins, which feature the symbols of Jade, Rose, Kanaya, Karkat, John, and a SBaHJ face with a set of stairs. John's pumpkin already has a bite out of it.
A selfie sent from Terezi, while she asks "WH4TS H4LLOW33N". She's still out searching for Vriska near the black hole, and there appears to be a dead Aradia in the background.
John, Jade, Rose, and Dave pose as a team in their respective costumes.
November 11[]
These snaps follow Jane, Roxy, and Calliope the day Jane receives a special promotion.
Jane posts a picture of her new chief executive plaque, which she notes is "a bit ostentatious". Her office appears to be in Troll Kingdom.
Roxy rolls her eyes at Jane, expressing doubt that her humility is genuine. Calliope (who Roxy has labelled "cute") is behind her, and they're both in formal wear.
Calliope snaps Jane this time, congratulating her on the promotion. Her and Roxy appear to have gone out for dinner.
Jane responds, blushing, wondering why she wasn't invited.
![17:02 Roxy replies, winking with a kissy face, that "if [she] wanted to turn this into a trio all [she] had to do was say so!"](/wiki/File:MSPA_Snapchat_27.png "MSPA Snapchat 27.png (112 KB)")
Roxy replies, winking with a kissy face, that "if [she] wanted to turn this into a trio all [she] had to do was say so!"
Calliope takes a picture of a troll waiter pulling up another chair, and she encourages Jane to join them.
Jane, blushing and smile, walks down a hallway in her building, accepting since they insisted.
Roxy takes a picture of Calliope eating meat, and asks if Jane wants them to order anything.
Jane declines, explaining that she should get their before her snap does if she uses her transportalizer. However, the transportalizer display warns that a "DESTINATION HIJACK" was detected.
Roxy and Calliope respond back with visible alarm, "JANEY NO U GOT HACKED"
Jane is now in some dimly lit location and visibly afraid. She responds with confusion, wondering "if this is some sort of jape" and asking where she is.
Calliope reassures Jane that this wasn't their doing or a prank. Roxy can be seen in the background angrily cutting two eyeholes out of her tie.
Jane remarks that the tech was scrubbed clean, so this shouldn't have happened. She finds a torn red banner featuring propaganda against her, which calls her "THE BUCKTOOTH HORNLESS".
Roxy has put on her new makeshift Rogue mask, and says she knows where Jane is and tells her to hide.
November 18[]
An odd standalone snap, posted potentially as a teaser for the next week's snaps.

November 24[]
This sequence shows what Jack Noir, Ms. Paint, and the Felt have been up to since the players left the session in Act 7. The captions, interestingly enough, seem to be Jack's comments, and not the senders' own words.
Jack Noir sends a snap back to Clover, disugstedly telling him to get back to work, and seemingly to stop staring at Ms. Paint, whose dress has become more revealing after Jack ripped fabric off the top to bandage his arm. Ms. Paint blushes in the background, presumably looking at the same snap.
Jack tells everyone in the Felt to report in. Ms. Paint poses for a selfie in the background.
Stitch reports in - behind him are Sawbuck, Matchsticks, and Quarters apparently placing some sort of bet on a few frogs wearing miniature versions of their outfits.
Crowbar reports in from the victory platform - Biscuits is nearby, affixing a few rocket packs to his oven. Fin is next to him, staring at the white universe entry door and the several future trails leading into it.
December 2[]
Set in the only free day between six of the eight kids' birthdays, this brief story shows the carapacians' plans to apparently celebrate those kids' birthdays by physically turning the moon into a crescent shape.
This image shows many carapacian scientists hard at work on the surprise gift, which appears to be a giant laser.
Blueprints show that the surprise appears to involve surrounding the moon with a "debris containment field", and then firing the laser at it, to "engage lunarscaping".
In a move being described as "SOMNAFORMATION", the moon has a large chunk taken out of it, resulting in a crescent shape, ostensibly in an effort to please the creators.
December 23[]
Tying together the three previous story threads, this was the last update to the Snapchat story before its apparent discontinuation.
Jane is intrigued to find herself on the moon, and in the distance outside the window of her location, one can see Jack riding atop the jetpack-affixed oven.
Jack, looking down at Earth C and its moon, decides this is a good place to "start carving out a nice fat piece of the action". He also tells the Felt to stop dancing inside the oven. Jane's location can be seen - it's a large red building surrounded by two large red rings painted on the moon, like a target.
Roxy is flying towards the moon, well above the Earth now, holding Calliope's hand. She tells Jane that she can't explain everything right now.
Jane brushes it off, noting that she can figure it out herself now - the plaque on the wall pretty clearly implies the "SOMNAFORMATION" plan.
Something on Jack's jetpack oven transport device explodes.
The craft is smoking, Jack starts to fall towards the target on the moon. He blames it on the Felt's dancing.
Jane takes a selfie, pointing at Jack in the background, assuring Roxy she can handle this herself, in light of all the other attempts on her life she's endured.
Carapacians rejoice in the control room as the debris containment field is engaged.
Calliope looks very concerned. She asks if Jane is alright, pointing out the "impenetrable shroUd" around the moon and Jane's implications of "foUl play".
Jane seems unconcerned as she takes a selfie with the Felt, who have apparently offered to assist her.
Jack is kneeling on the ground, bleeding from his arm stump, the bandage now being used as a leash. The Condesce's tiara is tied to his collar with the leash. He shows signs of being under mind control and is bleeding.
Clover looks very nervous. Jane says she's putting him in charge of her social media for now, and laments their lack of attention as gods of this universe.
Still holding the leash in one hand, Jane orders the rest of the Felt back into the oven - Doze and Cans appear to be entering last.
Cans looks hesitant as Jane stops him from entering the oven.
Cans returns to his usual grumpy glare as he stares from outside of the closing oven door. Jane remarks "See you in a week! HOO HOO HOO!" Jane is presumably punched into next week with the Felt members excluding Cans, who will be killed.
A Prospitian presses the "LUNARSCAPING RAY" button.
Calliope and Roxy narrowly dodge the blast. A huge chunk is gone from the moon, and it is now permanently crescent shaped. A carapacian in the caption wishes "A CONVIVIAL CREATOR SIMULTINAETIVITY JUBILEE TO THEM, AND TO ALL!"
December 25 - Christmas Day[]
This marked the first photograph posted to the account by the team, rather than a continuation of the fictional story. It was also the first snap to appear between the hours of midnight and noon.[What time zone?]
A Christmas tree is shown, adorned with a Kringlefucker ornament in place of the more typical star. We are wished a "happey holdiday".
August 29, 2017[]
The Snapchat account was used for the last time when Andrew Hussie filmed himself with the previously released Hiveswap trailer, this time captioned with the game's release date.
