dang, you're right. But with actual infinite universes there should be one where he became a ghost. Would be interesting to see.

The thing is that, there’s actually not infinite deviations in the Homestuck-verse. There may be potentially infinite different ways things could go, but by the way we don’t see many of some ghosts, and sometimes just a single instance, or no instance of ghosts for certain characters, I like to think the Horrorterrors just take the Souls from Timelines where the characters suffer enough of a deviation to be considered ‘different’- As such someone like Caliborn, or like Vriska, have one, or even No ghosts at all, because they’re just so self-focused and determined that they don’t differ between Timelines in the slightest. Similarly, the Alpha Trolls are a bunch of Teenaged Drama Queens, so of course they’re malleable and there’s like a million of each.
