Anonymous asked: Do you have any theories on what will happen at the end of homestuck, like narrative wise I mean. Your blog is cool

hmmmm

pre-retcon i always had the theory that when the afterlife explodes all the dead characters will be set free! just like in Problem Sleuth. in fact alt-calliope and jade are technically wandering around blackspace - they’re outside the dreambubbles. so this isnt even entirely unplausible?

post-retcon, there isnt much need for this. the only dead character right now is feferi, and shes right at home in cloud nine. erisol should turn up any minute now! and of course the dancestors… i hope porrim and meenah arent destroyed… but theyve lived for a very long time. wouldnt be surprised if theyre killed or if they just stay there forever.

SO, my big yet super-loose post-retcon theories are:

the Mega-Merger - everyone fuses with some or all of their doomselves. This is actually canon for Davepeta and Jasprose. I developed this theory after John suggested Roxy merge with herself but Roxy didn’t, and figured maybe she should do that to other people! but WHY would she do that is the question. it makes sense because all those kids died…. i dont think pxs is so cruel as to condemn them to oblivion.

If the Caliborn battle was actually post-retcon, I think that doomed timelines will be in play. The theory is that the decision to fight Caliborn is so borderline that two timelines are created, one where they went, and one where they stayed. Because John has extra-canon powers if he teleports the go-fight-caliborn team out of his session they can impact Caliborn’s timeline and become the juju without having to sacrifice the stay-behind team. It’s also impied that the Caliborn who watched the fight on his TV is from a different timeline to Lord English! But he doesn’t know this yet.

basically i sure as hell hope the kids arent creating caliborn’s universe, so if the Caliborn fight is Alpha Post-Retcon, then I will be confused as to why they dont seem to understand their fate.

as for character deaths… i dont think there will be any permadeaths that havent got another version of themselves around. jasprose can permadie because both jaspers and rose are lingering. tavrossprite? no. aive humans? definitely not.

if any character… actually permadies, it will be either someone irrelevant and sprite-protoyped like erisol or davepeta, or it will be someone on the Jack English team.

the most likely candidates are actualy Dirk and Terezi, who aren’t on reproduction duty or leadership duty, are incredibly intense warriors, and have some morality issues. dave is also all these things but he’s preparing himself to permadie for years and i dont think thats fair on him. Even though she’s mortal and it would be hella tragic, I think Dirk is more likely than Terezi because it’s a bit of a “die a hero before you become the villain” thing.

although… Dirk showed up in the Caliborn fight…
