Why do I have this bad feeling in my gut, that everyone is celebrating too early and some big bad guy is going to kill them all? Oh wait, that's right. LE isn't dead. Do you think he's going to be a Bec Noir esque party crasher? Because that's what I'm feeling. That and Dad Egbert's days are numbered. As in, this is his last day as the last living, nonsprite, parent.

Others (like homestuckbecausereasons) have pointed out how similar this is to the end of the troll session. AA: even 0ur inevitable failure

AA: th0ugh it will briefly masquerade as vict0ry We’re about to see them dramatically create Universe C (which is going to be quite an experience), and then all of them will be waiting on the lilypad as the door to their new realm appears, reaching for the final doorknob… …except Lord English has NOT been dealt with. They may have beaten the King, Queen, and Jack of their session, but the stand-in Black King of Paradox Space is still going to deny them control over their universe, especially as critical a universe as the one in which he supposedly originated. No idea if Dad Crocker’s going to bite the dust, but he’s sure a convenient-looking target. Especially if the Condesce’s immortality curse still applies, so she can arrive and kill him right in front of Jane; since they only really beat a puppet of Lord English instead of the real thing, Condy getting up would mean that BOTH the King and Queen are still too “alive” to permit them going through that door. (Again, though, this is all just one of many possibilities, here.) EDIT: HBR said some more on this.

FUCK, I just realized how perfect an opportunity this is for the Condesce!!!

We’re about to see the creation of Universe C. A universe the cherubs will supposedly occupy, but the kids didn’t manage to get in and influence. A universe which not only contains the Earth, but trolls. How exactly will that happen?

If Condy’s immortality curse keeps Roxy’s blow from having killed her, then it makes sense for her to play dead. She needs three things:

A fully born new universe, with a door to enter it.

Planet Earth, currently in Jade’s sylladex (EDIT: Or John’s, thanks anon).

A Matriorb, currently in Kanaya’s sylladex.

Now, how would a Thief obviously take advantage of this situation?!

The door, the Earth, and the matriorb are all about to be on that same lilypad platform at the exact same time, while literally everyone is going to be distracted by opening it. Even JADE is there, who she can psychically control easily without any sign of Vriska around to put her to sleep. All she has to do is crash the lilypad party, control Jade, stab a couple people (like Dad), have all the fixings she needs to rule the universe robbed from them (by Jade likely) and lobbed through the door, leap through the door herself and leave a bomb behind to blow it up behind her.

Assuming Jane doesn’t succeed in stopping her after the Earth and Matriorb are thrown in, something which has a good chance of happening.

This situation is practically giftwrapped for Her Condescension. If there’s even the slightest chance of her getting up again – which there is, because that immortality curse HAD to mean SOMETHING – we have reason to be pretty damned worried.

EDIT: Anon asked: “Wait hold up I cannot BELIEVE I forgot about this all this time, but: What on earth is Draconian Dignitary up to? He was built up as a semi-important villain before being unceremoniously dropped from the spotlight after HIC demanded the ring back and we haven’t seen him since - Is there still enough room or meaning for him to do anything beyond something like a simple cameo in the finale?”

MOTHER FUCK, THE GUY’S BEEN LAYING LOW THIS ENTIRE DAMNED TIME. CD’s probably with him. Hell, they even have fucking Dronegorg! Condy has all the backup she needs to pull this off!!

Droog has a habit of showing up from behind at the last minute, taking advantage of the fact you’ve forgotten him. This is exactly the sort of plan he’d be willing to back.
