spoiler: Homestuck doesn't actually end. After a while in our photo tour, the photos start being of the salamanders, chronicling the grand tale of Crumplehat and Secret Wizard, from their birth to the moment they die in each other's arms as the scratch annihilates them.
Not that anything more will be explained about the Scratch than what already has been-- that's old news now, or will be soon, so no need to use it as anything more than a plot device. It will go the way of the Flighty Broads and Their Snarky Horseshitometer.
He will achieve this by abruptly switching over to the perspective of one of John's consorts and introduce them (i.e.
Your name is CRUMPLEHAT. You are a SECRET WIZARD., etc.) and then put Act 5.2 on hold to begin Subact 1.
Compare the importance of the roles of the trolls and the kids to that of the consorts. Somehow, it will be flipped reverse-ways, except this time around the consorts will be more important than the kids/trolls ever were.
Now that I think about it, is Crumplehat the new FedoraFreak?
Is it bad that Hussie is my hero? Someone that I wish I could be like, but don't have the skill or drive to emulate?
What if just Hussie disappeared one day? Would that give you incentive to follow in his footsteps and live on his legacy? Hypothetically, of course.
I wouldn't put it past Hussie to make Homestuck an eternally expanding story until he finally dies of being hunted by crazed Homestuck fans.
But who could possibly want to do that without having something or someone prepared ahead of time to take his place?
Hussie is [...] Someone that I wish I could be
But sadly, nobody can, because nobody has the ridiculous lips he does.
Do they have to be natural?
