Oof, that "The End" is gonna piss people off, but that end was pretty badass. I have a feeling Hussie might explain the poo poo out of it.

i mean, we all knew how it was going to end, and the only thing left was the exact mechanics of however the treasure box was going to kill LE. Vriska got her wish because she got to create her final boss and then destroy him in the way nobody else could. Vriska won Homestuck

Did Lord English... win? We saw this vision of the future everyone might have on the new world, but John was reaching for the door and both Caliborn and Lord English were looking pretty undefeated when it suddenly cut out, like maybe Lord English won somehow? Or the Green Sun turning into a black hole destroyed the universe? Is this supposed to be ambiguous? Oh god, is this ? Hussie has a Newspost up, by the way. Seems pretty definitive. I do not know if he has realized the likely overriding response this ending will generate.

Wow, that did nothing at all for me. It was really pretty and sounded great, though. Some part of me is hoping that this is a fakeout, but the newspost pretty much kills that.

So I guess Caliborn becoming the lord of time caused him to be able to destroy time at the last second, causing us to have the strongest collective blue balls as a reader in the history of blue balls? Do we only get the kids vision of what they were going to have when they went into the new world rather than knowing it actually happened as a consolation prize? edit: nice to know I have good company at the end of things Dolash posted:Did Lord English... win?

So I'm assuming Lord English gets ditched in the lovely broken universe while the kids/trolls are safe in Canopolis? There's probably something I'm missing here. I guess the only way to beat an invincible monster is to bait him, then quietly sneak out and lock the door behind you.

Look on the brightside: Now when people say "Boy, that sure was a lovely ending" we can all be like "Hey, at least it didn't suck as bad as the ending to Homestuck". Edit: And this will always be true. Forever. No matter what the thing is. From now until the end of time. There's nowhere to go but up.

I'm confused and possibly upset. The animation was pretty though and it was a neat song choice. quote:The longer and less funny answer will need some reflection. Maybe some day I will say some things about it. For now, I will leave you to draw your own conclusions. From the news post probably seals the deal on "that's that."

My guess is: - They enter the door, we get Caliborn's Masterpiece, and then in a mobius double-reacharound Vriska frees them with the Juju and English is defeated with the green sun black hole and then they get the good ending. So they both win and lose.

This is a post I had kinda wanted to make earlier, but didn't want to de-lurk for, but I guess I'm gonna make it now anyways even though I was a bit disappointed with Act 7 as well? The thing is, Act 7 is not, on its own, The End. We've been in The End for a while now. Collide was the beginning of The End, with all of the final bosses being battled and defeated (except Lord English). With all of them defeated, and Lord English's defeat saved for Homestuck the Anime... well, that's it. The "game" ended with Collide, and everything since, including this, has been the inter-credits cutscene showing off the results of victory. So... yeah. This is only the logical conclusion, plain though it was.

His victory was also his defeat though: at the moment Caliborn gains the juju he'll use to trap the kids in his story, the same juju is used against Lord English, allowing the kids to escape (that's why the lilypad house-door changed colors, I assume, which it did not for the Trolls' session). e: this is also i think the significance of the doors being on the opposite sides (right when it drops in front of LE, left on the lilypad)

That was the best ending. The only ending Homestuck could get. The whole Lord English thing was a ruse. It really was just about some kids creating a universe.

I guess the only way to beat an invincible monster is to bait him, then quietly sneak out and lock the door behind you. The way I took it, there was some weird space/time fuckery when they observed the orb Jade was holding (which was earth I think?) and it struck me as like, a possible future or somehting? Because from the look of the Juju, it sure seemed like the door would open up to right in front of Lord English. I'm not even sure I get what the implication of the green sun getting black holed was? Or what Caliborn smashing the clock with the juju breaker meant?

MonsieurChoc posted:My guess is: see, I read it as more of this: Caliborn becomes who he hoped to be and in becoming that he literally destroyed time (the clock and then his power up or whatever) just as John reaches for the knob (but doesn't grab it). from what I see, Caliborn wins. The vision was just that- a vision.

Yeah it was a fine flash but not an ending. I guess Homestuck will just never have an ending.

I guess my problem is that my primary reason I forgave Act 6 for its failings was that it did a really good job of setting up Lord English as an antagonist I cared about seeing defeated And then this happened

I'm super conflicted because the animation was sweet as hell, but the actual content still felt rushed and sort of a 'bare minimum' ending. I'm not even sure how caliborn's masterpiece fits into this, if it is still canon.
