How long do the kids have left to live on earth c? Like, everything is being destroyed. They must not have many years left, do they?

If the dream bubbles/ghosts are being sucked into the black hole, do they continue to exist, or are they just.. gone? Their existence permanently gone? I always imagined the dream bubbles somehow continued to exist in the black hole, just all who are trapped would be there forever.

sburb/lord english literally destroyed everything in the end, didn’t it? Earth, the troll universe, dream bubbles, soon, earth c. Wont everything in the end just be gone. Every planet/world in every timeline? I feel like in the end everything would just cease to exist all together.

This is a completely valid concern about the ending, with the Kids being in the Universe-C and everything seeming to be collapsing out there, it WOULD make sense that the Black Hole would get to them at some point! However this ignores a few possibilities and a few things the Ending represent.

First of all, we don’t quite know if the Black Hole is going to expand indifinitely- For all we know, it’ll blow a hole through Paradox Space, yes, but it’ll stop at some point and the Kids may find something interesting in that blank hole blown right through.

But also, it takes on a very heavily literal outlook on the Ending. It’s not LE who destroys everything… It’s Calliope. Dragging everything behind her in the Ending, conducting the Finale of the story. Because that’s what it is. It’s the End of Paradox Space, because it’s the End of the Comic. To defeat Lord English, everything must be brought to an end… Because he’s the Villain in this story, and as long as the story continues, he will not cease to be. When you look it in a more Meta sense, the Kids are safe, because they have escaped, not into Earth-C- But outside of the story. They’re beyond the End, beyond the closing of the curtain.

That being said, there IS an Epilogue left… And it may part the curtains one last time for something big to go down before everyone can truly live a peaceful life.
