People have always argued over whether the death of the guardians was a direct result of Karkat’s “cursed code”, a built-in mechanic of SBURB itself, or just coincidence / “circumstantial simultaneity”; which to me is a silly argument, because in Homestuck those are always going to be the same thing, but I digress… it’s occurred to me that if paradox space has a habit of cleaning doomed persons from the timeline by killing them off, would the kids’ guardians not fall under this umbrella by virtue of being doomed versions of their post-scratch iterations?
