Okay, that’s good enough. Let’s do this crazy revelation.

Spoilers for the Epilogue underneath.

So, in Chapter 2 of the prologue, Rose lays out the three pillars of canon, with Truth being the most important one. In the Candy branch, John fails to authenticate the canonicity of the world, meaning that everything that happens there (with a few exceptions) is formally “non-canon”. The Meat branch, meanwhile remains in “Conditionally true” post-canon.

Now, later on, we find out that Candy is happening inside the black hole, which happens to be Calliope. The manifestation of Calliope states that

Now, what’s super interesting is that Candy wasn’t placed within the black hole. Instead, it “manifested” there, as if this was a natural process.

So, here’s the bedrock of my theory. Why should Candy be the only reality within the black hole? There’s plenty of reasons why a world could become non-canon. Stories in which the “ ideas, people and their full potentialities, possible outcomes and their specific unfolding “ are detached from the canonical conscious frameworks that defined them, the possibilities expanding infinitely.

I’m talking about fanfiction, of course. Fanfiction generally meets the same critera for canon as Candy does. Would it not make sense for these stories to undergo the same process? Hence my first conclusion that All Homestuck fanfiction resides inside the black hole, where it is safe from canon.

Now, if there’s one thing the Homestuck fandom - especially the fanfiction part - is known for, it’s… alright lemme look at the replies real quick…

Ah, there we go! Shipping! There’s so many damn shipping fics, it’s hard to believe. Now, let’s take a look at the most popular ships on Ao3…

Wow, that’s a lot of slash fiction! And it’s all being stored inside the black hole, huh?

(And here comes the part where I fucking destroy your mind)

Anyone remember this tweet?

He wasn’t fucking kidding. Homestuck ended with the creation of a black hole stuffed full to the brim with Davekat slashfiction.

It ended with the creation of a literal Gay Singularity. We just didn’t know it until now.
