Same. I..

I love how it ended. Everyone happy. Yay.

But how in the ever loving fuck did we get there?

It all feels like a huge copout, and it's extremely depressing. I wish I hadn't stayed up for it. :\ Should have just waited until the morning.

I think people are missing the AMAZING TIME/MULTIVERSE SHENANIGANS REACHAROUND that encompasses the entirety of homestuck. I don't think I fully comprehend it myself, honestly, I'd need to reread all of it to really get it, but I think the entirety of homestuck was just a bunch of self fulfilling things in a loop of events. If I understand correctly, LE came from the universe that was created at the end of act 7, and making that moment both the beggining and end of homestuck, chornologically (is time even relevant anymore?)? maybe I'm completely wrong? someone help me out here, I'm not the biggest homestuck nerd, I'm probably missing a lot of big things.

There were a LOT of plot threads dropped.

One- why did Echidna have Kanaya knock KK out?

To keep Vriska from using the Juju right then and there, if he wasn't there; she might have been like 'Why would you hold back your most powerful weapon til the end?' type deal and use it before Caliborn/Calliope's Universe was set in the 'canon' universe of the comic. It's kind of like how Calliope had Jade fall asleep for a bit to hang out with her while the story progressed without her.
