Doesn't that mean the epilogue will just be depressing blackness because the black hole killed everything?
The Black Hole is consuming the Furthest Ring. Which was very much the Afterlife of Homestuck. Ghosts trapped there, sent on suicidal missions to lure the Big Bad, spending Aeons unable to properly drop grudges or develop properly. The reason why I don’t think the destroying of Paradox Space is necessarily bad, is because the Stagnation of the Ghosts and trying to keep doing the same things for aeons seems more like torture. Perhaps they can move on now that everything is dying around them.
The status of Universe C is something I’d like to know, though- The Kids are escaping Lord English’ influence, the Alpha Timeline, it’s very fitting for a Gnostic Story, they’re leaving the Cruel Reality they were trapped in by Yaldabaoth, and ascending to the World of Ideas- Lit by the literal Light Symbol, where they are the Gods of the World. However, that’s symbolically. Is the Universe just far away enough that it’d take an eternity for the Black Hole to reach it? Is it so far that it is still affected by the weird flow of Time and Space in the Furthest Ring, and as such has more time? Is there something left after the Black Hole drags reality into it? There’s a lot of things the Epilogue could touch upon, and I want to see how the Kids fare in their reality.
