Ahhh but Terezi didn't know that, so it was Just from at least one point of view!

I think the Seer of Mind would know that.  Also, god dammit, that book was supposed to prove it was the alpha timeline.  Spades better be dead though, so at least part of the prophecy was true now, and so I don't have to wait til the next time clocks are important for somebody to die.  Of course, I can't trust that he is because he died as a result of a coin flip, and I will never trust those again.  Hussie you bastard, you made it so I can't trust coins anymore.

This kind of bullshit is exactly why I love Homestuck.

Also Vriska explained it to all to her in one of those bugged blips.

Then what's the guarantee that we aren't just watching a briefly extended alternate timeline, as I posited earlier? As said, with rose dead both universes are unwinnable and the humans (at least John) are working towards a scratch and (all the stuff I said before). This all started with a coin flip, the same as Terezi giving Dave his god tier lesson. It just seems too simple to have things stand as they are and be the alpha solution, I don't quite buy it yet.

Welp, you called it.
Haa Haa. Hee Hee. Hoo Hoo.

Depending on interpretations, that book proves this entire arc is, in a way, a doomed timeline. The very first thing that happened to start Sgrub, karkat ran sollux's code to bifurcate the entire universe. The trolls' verse split from the kids' verse, but they're both important for the other. Aradia said the explosion from Karkat running the Mobius double reacharound virus didn't happen on the alpha timeline. I spent an hour or so compiling data for a theory of what's about to happen, but it got buried quickly and I've already quoted myself on this thread, so...

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

Hussie said he wouldn't try to trick us with alternate timeline shenanigans. He would explicitly state when he would be veering off and wouldn't pull a "Whop killed all the characters in a shacking way, but it was a doomed timeline and the alpha is okay."

You see why I'm so pissed off.

I'm still holding out hope that it's actually more complicated than it looks, because that's exactly what I thought too.  This shit's too serious to play around with, and just going with the "oh by the way, this wasn't the real timeline remember when I said that could be a thing trololololol" asspull would be the king of all asspulls.  We're talking Turd Mountain here.

And if this was the setup from the very beginning as Darkmere reminds me (to the extent that Hussie actually plans anything), then he had better come out and give it a direct explanation.  None "it was all right in front of you" bullcrap, I want charts, dammit.

Oh yeah, and Alternian Slick got filled fulla daylight.  Whaddaya know.  Clocking Matchsticks with a red hot horse hitcher was pretty good though.  That wacky coin is probably the most important thing going on up there...

Question is. Is Vriska corrupt enough to warrant this kill as just?

I THINK Terezi just killed Vriska to destroy this timeline...

Maybe?

Nah, she did it so that Jack wouldn't kill everybody. Splitting the timelines was jus' a side effect.

I'm pretty sure Vriska's death should count as "just" here, but Karkat will later be worried of her having sloppy makeouts with John. And dying just like that seems a bit anticlimactic. She should be way too lucky for that to happen. Is being stabbed even fatal to trolls?

Also Doc Scratch you are the worst narrator. The WORST. These time shenanigans would be incredibly annoying if they weren't so amazing.

Well, Derm. Your excuse of not having material for Quarters is gone. Get to it.

Is that so?

I don't even know what to say anymore. Karkat lives but Spades Slick is dead. I might not even WANT this timeline. I just don't know anymore. Fucking Hussie.

This being Homestuck, I'm not sure whether that's post-scratch Rose or Vriska with a wig.

I think the important thing here is that Vriska could well have been able to beat Jack! Now, imagine if, instead of being stupid, they had figured out a way to contact Aradia and have the both of them take him on.
