Homestuck snake escape3/29/2023 ![]() Caliborn jams sparkle dust in the game cartridge, and. So far, the glitches in Paradox Space we have seen have taken a very specific form also metacanonical altering. Lord English cannot be destroyed by conventional means, he can only be defeated by the exploitation of glitches in Paradox Space. There’s a reason why it is shaped like the Homestuck logo the ultimate weapon is a gateway to Homestuck. ![]() This is an ability with a very specific scope he is distributed not throughout reality, but throughout Homestuck itself. But what else does it do? John put his hand through it and it became distributed throughout the canon of Homestuck. I mean, obviously we know that Caliborn initially used it to seal the souls of the beta kids, and then later Vriska deployed it against Lord English. Let’s remind ourselves what the “treasure” juju does. From what more is there left to become “unstuck”? John leaves his house, yes, but then he leaves his universe, his session, and ultimately his fundamental reality behind. Homestuck is a story about people leaving behind “homes” of various scope. He is able to leave later on, so he’s no longer home-stuck, right? Now, my take has always been that this depends on your definition of “home”. At first, when taken literally, “Homestuck” appears to be named for only a very small portion of Act 1, when John is literally “stuck in his home”. I’ve already spoken a fair bit in the past about Homestuck’s underlying themes in relation to the comic’s name. ![]() Here is my take on what I think happened, and how it explains not only the ending, but the entire plot of Homestuck (seriously). I’ve already spoken a little about how the destruction of the Green Sun should not have depleted his Clockwork Majyyks, and therefore shouldn’t have made him any more invulnerable. Whilst talking to a friend I was suddenly struck by a realization that I think explains the precise nature of how Lord English was defeated. If that's what happened the trolls would've been present for the masterpiece When Vriska opens the chest again, I'm assuming it released John, Dave, Jade, and Rose against a now very mortal LE.Īt least, I think that's the order of things. They ambush Caliborn in the clock room after he gets the chest and breaks the clock, he banishes John, Dave, Jade (who is keeping the newly created universe in her pocket or something), and Rose into the chest, there's a big fight, Jake goes hope nova, and then Dirk ends up sealing the souls of Caliborn and Arquiusprite into Lil Cal, which they then banish into the void. I mean, they do run into him after opening the door, but we already know how that goes down, thanks to claymation spoilers. Leaving him behind, not giving him the time of day, for someone who wanted to make everything in the story all about him that may be the best way his role could end. It feels like it should parallel with his defeat, but maybe the kids going through the door is his defeat. ![]() Yeah, looking back, I think that's the point of showing Caliborn powering up. That's why the story ends the moment they open up that door at the end. That's why this panel has a transparent background. The point of the white house was to provide a way for them to escape temporal inevitability, by escaping the story altogether. There's really nothing they could have done to fix their session their failure was burned on the timeline.Ĭaliborn's claymation was another example of that: through his time powers he was able to see a future in which the beta kids all become trapped. Regardless, later on, with all the time shenanigans and paradox loops, they're still slaves, but now to temporal inevitability. It might have been planned they were always controlled by something, maybe? Then it went back to user commands for a while. Yeah, and that actually did happen, IIRC. The original plan was that once the kids entered the game, they'd be uncommandable, and they could only be issued commands via their exiles But since watching act 7, I feel I understand the point of it a lot more. It was basically the midichlorians of Homestuck. I pretty much hated the whole retjohn thing right up until the end. It was hard to foresee that this whole thing would become popular enough to render the user submission system unusable. My random theory is that Hussie originally planned to use user submission commands up until the very end, and the big climax would be all the kids breaking free from the tyranny of being told what to do by the "player".
