Jake is going to beat Jack English, and then get possessed in turn. It fulfills the prophecy and causes the obvious thing to happen.

This. I know other theories are floating around, but the fact the main page was not touched and that Homestuck is a world-wide phenomenon leads me to suspect there is a Syrian Homestuck out there that knows some English, wanted to connect to other fans and saw what a cesspool the boards were.

I have faith that excellent posts have thus far saved SA from a similar fate.

This leaves me wondering if there's some pro-rebel Syrian Homestuck fan who's furious about this latest development, and is trying to marshal some kind of response. Further, the idea of two people on opposites sides of a blood civil war both enjoying the same silly internet webcomic.

I'm reminded of a short story I once read where two soldiers during WW1, a Frenchman and a German, find themselves stranded in an abandoned town in no-man's land. They share cigarettes and realize that they have more in common with each other than they do with the mustachioed fucks ordering them to march into hails of machine gun fire.

Then the French army shows up and shoots both of them for desertion and collusion with the enemy.

Karkat-Death has become Hussie's ace in the hole for reader despair, since he is a) the best and b) the most mortal out of all the characters. In a comic where like half the cast can now walk off getting cut the gently caress in half so long as they don't do it while getting a kitten out of a tree/throwing a kitten into a woodchipper and the mortal remainder is either unkillable, undead, or a clown, Karkat huddles, terrified and cranky, his sole defense a breathless torrent of rude language. Hussie will wait until he is entangled in our every gossamer heartstring, and then, he will tear him out.

Her plan was to prevent Caliborn's universe from ever existing, thus preventing Lord English from ever existing. Having an out-of control Page of Hope at maximum power kill off everybody / obliterate the session to cause a hellacious paradox that essentially invalidates everything that has ever happened in the comic and then turn that into the new alpha timeline would probably count as a win for her if it works.

Even if she does, Bec was bathing in the stuff when his meteor landed in a pool much like the one Jake just made. There's little reason to expect her to be less indestructible.

It's true. Even though Terezi and Karkat have the exact same status, Shouty feels so much more vulnerable in the grand scheme of things. Pretty much because, as cool as Terezi is, there is only one The Best.

Also hope is dumb and Jake still sucks.

To expand a little bit on this, from what I understand, she specifically wants to destroy the universe completely enough that it is retroactively never created. LE comes when the universe is destroyed but a universe that is never created can't be destroyed and thus LE won't ever exist/arrive. Since he does exist/has arrived, if this happens the paradox will create a doomed offshoot timeline that will go nowhere, but she thinks her awesome Sylph powers can let her "heal" the doomed timeline and make it into the the alpha timeline:

ARANEA: A doomed timeline is really just an anatomical feature of a much larger organism. Like a capillary which comes to an end, 8ecause it has withered and died.

No. He's not god tier, he can barely fight anything tougher than basic Sburb baddies, he turns into a terrified ball of nubby-headed noise during serious conflict, and he already used up his one extra Lifey Thing. The entire universe is basically a giant arrow pointing to Mssr. Vantas, and on the arrow is written the words "END THIS CHILD."

Dude Karkat won't die. He's the only one who can truly ends this in anti-climax. Just cull the Fish Queen and cut LE down short. "CAN WE loving GO NOW?" will be the last bit of dialogue in Homestuck.
