My thoughts:

Karkat's basically the secondary protagonist, and I doubt Hussie has the balls to actually get rid of him like this (even though I hope he does. Not because I dislike the characters who died, but because this comic needs a resolution at some point, and this gets it on its way.) That, more than anything, makes me leery of this sticking (besides the fan outcry.)

What I'm trying to say is: Crisis on Infinite Homestucks is about to occur. Every timeline is getting merged into one.

Just managed to catch up with the thread, HOLY gently caress. This is everything I've been missing and more.

That said, I think the past two updates kinda drive home how empathetic Caliborn is. Not sympathtic, gently caress no, and he gives zero fucks about anyone else but man does he have a lovely life when you get down to it. It's a miracle that he's a functional being in the first place, and even more amazing that his sister was well-adjusted.

But I mean think about it, from birth this little rear end in a top hat has been locked in progressively larger boxes, from his shared room to his Sburb session to wherever the gently caress he is now to the finite universes he infects. And in all that time he has loving no one to talk to, or at least anyone on "his side". He's biologically predisposed to hate the gently caress out of his sister, and I personally think he shouldn't have known she existed for his brain to be "right". Then once he kills her she's replaced by a mute unkillable clown and some rear end in a top hat on the other side of a screen who keeps (rightfully) calling Caliborn a little shithead. Then he has his Sburb quest which is designed to be hard as balls and Caliborn picks up a crew of dumbass green torsos. Now he's done and stuck inside a giant Lil' Cal head (brrr) and some blue rear end in a top hat pops up, calls the only constructive thing Caliborn has ever managed lovely anime and then beats the ever loving poo poo out of the green skeleton kid. And until I'm proven wrong I think this might be the first time anyone has laid hand on the fuckheaded little shitstain.

...how the gently caress was Caliborn NOT supposed to become Lord English? The universe doesn't seem to have given him much of a chance to change. The only real confidant that he has that we know of is Crowbar, and I don't trust a mafia don in a jester outfit to be giving reliable life advice.

You know when I saw how pissed Karkat was and that he was outrunning even Kanaya I thought "Yes, finally, Karkat is going to channel his rage and finally he can be the hero for just a second". But no. I should have known that nothing good can ever happen to Karkat. :smith:

She does still have it. I don't know if removing it would immediately kill her, but it would make her killable.

Ah right, yeah, forgot about Aradia. To be fair though she seems to have deliberately removed herself from events. Not counting Sollux until his state of mortality makes more sense though.

Also another reason I'm thinking Rose might survive/God-tier-resurrect is it'll keep her and Kanaya apart, so she can mope about her girlfriend getting vaporized. Not as punchy if she's judged heroic and they reconnect two minutes later. Considering John was revived after Bec Noir shanked him, it can't be enough to just die fighting a bad guy if you go down like a chump.

Dave did! I figure the difference is John (and potentially Rose) died fighting someone out of rage, while Dave was fighting someone to save someone else.

I was going to say that Dave got to put up an actual sword fight instead of getting shot out of the air, but then again Jake just got shanked and it was completely useless so I guess maybe the criteria's more about the spirit of the thing. So yeah in that case Rose's attack might not count since it was for revenge.

I think Sollux is technically a whole survivor at the moment since his ghost half was pulled out to become Erisolsprite. But that might not last long since Erisolsprite was last seen on LOTAK, and LOTAK is looking pretty rough right now.

I wonder if Jane can do her Lifey thing while dead. A godtier alternate-Feferi they ran into could. It would be sorta hilarious if she could self-rez from beyond the grave. Alternately, if they could get the ring, they could rez her, then have her rez everyone (except Karkat)

Remember when she got blown-up before entering her session? Doesn't everyone only get one resurrection? I think she's boned.

Also, why was that considered "Just" for her? She was a mind-controlled puppet, it's not like she was receiving comeuppance for intentional wrongdoings.

When Doc Scratch first explained god tier immortality I think he said "one may be subject to corruption" or something like that to describe a just death. So I guess that is vague enough to cover mind control.

Gotta be consistent. Jade got a "just" death too. And honestly, between "you are going to father hundreds of my children, Jake" and the way Jade interacted with Dave, I'm not entirely how brainwashed these two were. More like they were forcibly corrupted than anything.

Jake did actually succeed in saving Jane by throwing himself in front of the attack, so that was a heroic death.

The fact that she was killed by a second attack with the same weapon just seconds later is completely irrelevant
