tbh hands down, my favorite writing in all of homestuck definitely has to be dave strider’s character arc. like. the insufferable hipster prick we knew for years slowly realizing that his ironic detached coolguy persona is actually a defense mechanism in response to years of physical and emotional abuse and that he’s actually a talkative person who craves attention and affection as a result of severe neglect, struggling to deal with his PTSD triggers over the course of the game, revealing his self esteem issues, “im not a hero”, confronting and overcoming his ingrained homophobia by coming to terms with his own bisexuality and obtaining an alien boyfriend, and reconciling with his brother in the most touching and satisfactory way i’ve ever read. i love dave strider and i’m glad he turned out the way he did and i’m glad there’s a character like him. favorite human kid 2009-forever amen.

We already know what happens next

They didn’t win the game. 

The ending house they should have opened was the red one (the alpha kids’ newly created universe) but instead the house flipped over and became white.

image
image

Sound familiar? Remember what happeneds the last time someone touched a white house? (Insert Obama joke)

image

That’s right. When John touched the juju, he became partially “unstuck in canon” so the continuity rules do not apply to him. His arm actually got retconned throughout the whole comic after this happened. This was shown with a distinct blue glow.

image

Right?

Now, we have to remember something. We actually know that this is not the end. Caliborn told us so in his clay animations a while back!

image

Many things that didn’t happen in the [S]Act 7 flash happened during this handcrafted explanation. To recap:

1) Caliborn has the house juju with him.

image

2)Caliborn “somehow” gets the Ring of Void, which was in posession of The Condesce. She’s dead now but how did the ring get to him?

image

3)Look who appears with a familiar blue glow!

image

My most important point is supported by this specific page. The eight kids actually become unstuck in canon and appear before Caliborn after touching/entering the white juju instead of the red ending house to enter the new universe. 

image

And then this shit happens.

4)The four Beta kids get sucked into the white juju.

image

5)Dirk creates Lord English after a fight that ends with Jake hopesploding in a cotton cloud.

image
image

And that’s the gist of it, right?

Now, we got the four alpha kids alive and well, Lil Cal infused with Lord English Caliborn dudebro realness and the four beta kids trapped inside the white juju.

Flashback. Time shenanigans ensue:

image

Vriska and her pirate crew found the treasure chest with the white juju inside, right? My thoughts are that when they found the juju the beta kids were already trapped inside of it. Here’s my supporting evidence:

image

When Vriska used the white juju as a weapon to stop Lord English after he had lost the power of the Green Sun thanks to alt Calliope, the symbols of the aspects of the Beta kids started flashing inside of it. I don’t think this is just symbology, I think that quite literally their powers are trapped inside of it.

So.

There are many plot points that are yet to be discussed. However, I think that as it is we have sufficient clues to infer what the rest of the story is instead of having it chewed for us in a fully explained epilogue. It will be welcome, of course, but I think the “spoilers” that Caliborn gave us with his clay animations should be enough to round the story. What I hope will be explained in the epilogue is how Caliborn got the Ring of Void, and how did the kids end up in the new universe after creating Lord English.

Given the narrative of the webcomic and its symbology, I think this is a magnificent way to end the story before the epilogue. The most important item of the [S]Act 7 animation was the white juju in my opinion. And what was the white juju?

image

A literal fucking plot hole.

P.S.: Calliope created a black hole and cherubs mate around black holes, don’t know what to take from that.
