The Homestuck Epilogues	comment	> Examine plot relevant aftermaths.Beware of spoilers. This is the epilogue to Homestuck and as such all spoilers pertaining to Homestuck are unmarked. Spoilers for The Homestuck Epilogues itself may also be unmarked.On April 13, 2016, Homestuck seemingly came to an end after seven years. However, with that conclusion, Andrew Hussie promised his audience an epilogue to tie up all other loose ends. And three years later on April 13, 2019, starting with the Prologue and releasing the rest a week later... The time arrived, and with the assistance of authors Cephied_Variable and ctset, he was able to come up with a text-only epilogue showing two self-described "tales of dubious authenticity".It has been seven years since the quest of John Egbert and his friends has ended, yet not everything completely well. John has one final choice to make, one that could affect not only his own life, but the entire canon.But first, Meat or Candy?Something worth noting about The Homestuck Epilogues is that Hussie and the other authors have stated that they should be seen as a completely different work than Homestuck proper, and even describe the two paths of the story as non-canon relative to its parent work, with the story itself being presented in a format derived from Fanfic. (Hussie has stated that the original intention was to only release it in print form, separating it from the main story as a "cursed tome".) In fact, they have outright encouraged fans to make use of Death of the Author or to treat the official ending to Homestuck as the true conclusion. For Hussie's personal notes on the epilogues and what they mean to represent, see the former Analysis page. (Spoilers included, obviously.)However, in spite of the ambiguously-canon nature of the story, an â€œofficially commissionedâ€� sequel, aptly named Homestuck: Beyond Canon, picks up from the events of The Homestuck Epilogues. It began on October 25, 2019 of the same year, and features a recap of this story on its main page.Can be read here.

The Homestuck Epilogues / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: Jane's character in the Epilogues was based on then-current United States president Donald Trump, whom the authors find abhorrent, as part of An Aesop that sometimes your childhood friends will grow up into terrible people. She's a famous businessperson whose success is (as theorized by Dave) due entirely to her inherited position, and is actually pretty awful at business. She makes a run for the presidency despite having no prior political experience, which is successful due to the intervention of an exterior power. She harbors openly xenophobic views and relies on tasteless populism to garner votes. She's a rapist and abuser who is very public about her lack of faithfulness towards her partner. And she has latent fascistic tendencies, which come to the forefront in the Candy timeline.

The Homestuck Epilogues / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: Death is much more permanent and tragic as the characters often grow and develop into much more awful people. This is both as a nod to the fanfiction-"format" of the Epilogues and the fact that the characters have grown to adulthood, something Act 6 Intermission 3 briefly poked at with the 19 year-old "dancestors."

The Homestuck Epilogues / int_161f1ebf	comment	Karkat and Dave have been clearly orbiting each other for a decade without admitting they want be closer than just friends. In Meat they become a couple, but in Candy they never manage to accomplish the same, with Jade's well-meaning efforts to pull (all three of) them together inadvertently push them further apart. When Jane's anti-troll policies eventually force Karkat to flee and form an underground resistance, it puts a damper on any further development.

Halfway through Meat, the narrator is revealed to be Dirk soon after his Faceâ€“Heel Turn, with all of the biases that entails. At the end of Candy, Muse Calliope has an extended conversation about this trope, telling Aradia to always be mindful of the speaker of any particular story.

The Homestuck Epilogues / int_1c445e86	type	Poor Communication Kills
The Homestuck Epilogues / int_1c445e86	comment	Poor Communication Kills: The Central Theme. Roxy and Calliope's unwillingness to confront Jane about her toxic politics leads to Jane becoming A Nazi by Any Other Name in Candy, or "just" a Donald Trump expy in Meat. Similarly, everyone else's refusal to tell Roxy and Calliope that their support of Jane is unacceptable leads to the carapacians following Roxy to join Jane against Karkat's rebellion. In Candy, Dave and Karkat's unwillingness to clarify their relationship with Jade leads to Karkat quitting in fury, then Dave being trapped in a loveless marriage with Jade. Jake is entirely unable to stand up to his friends, which traps him in a sixteen-year abusive relationship in Candy, and makes him Dirk's helpless puppet in Meat. Had Dirk not been left to stew in his own bullshit for so long, perhaps he wouldn't have talked himself into either killing himself or becoming a monster. John can never tell what Roxy is thinking and never thinks to just ask her, which leads to their marriage ending in misery. Thankfully, he's much better about this in their conversation after the Time Skip.

Early on in Meat, younger versions of Jane, Jake, Dirk, and Roxy are stranded in the Land of Colours and Mayhem with no clear way home, and we never see what happens to them.

To Rose this causes painful headaches and delirium; Dirk has been able to compartmentalize it better, but owing to a number of his alternate selves being jerkasses he's gone through a Faceâ€“Heel Turn. While this seems to end in Candy as John further detaches the universe from canonicity, at the end of that timeline Dave also realizes his ultimate self.

Dave eventually yells at him to stop interfering right before planting a Big Damn Kiss. Muse Calliope approves of John and Terezi getting together in Meat, but takes a more passive approach than Dirk, only suggesting that John stop repressing his true feelings. In Candy, Vriska Maryam-Lalonde clearly thinks that her namesake is in love with Terezi, and approves wholeheartedly.

He's manipulative and abusive towards Rose, Jake, and Kanaya, and condescending and dismissive towards John, Jade, Roxy, and just about everybody else (except Dave). This is quite possibly a deliberate gambit to make himself hated by the audience, as part of his desire to see himself become the new villain so the story won't end, as well as his self-admitted subconscious sabotage of his own plans.

The Epilogues make it clear that there are no true happy endings, some of your childhood friends will grow up into terrible people, and sometimes you'll fail and be miserable no matter what you do. However, strong and healthy communities can stop people from going down dark paths, and your story isn't over until you say it is. This story ends on a low point for pretty much everyone, but there is both a hope and a plan for a better tomorrow.

While he's doing this, he "innocuously" advises Roxy to give the Muse-possessed Jade some sun... giving him a line of sight to shoot her instead. Instead of using a bullet (from which she would revive within minutes), he shoots her with a powerful tranquilizer, putting her into a coma and cutting off Calliope's connection.

Almost all of Candy is in the latter, with Dirk's suicide being the sole exception. Meat alternates between the two depending on whether John is the focus or not. Muse Calliope's example of narrative manipulation shows her changing her color and font to that of the narration, strongly hinting at her status as the narrator — or, at least, one of the narrators. Aradia points out that she sounds different somehow, but cannot place what's different about the way she speaks.

In both timelines, people try to help them along, to varying degrees of success. In Candy, Jade tries to help out, but only ends up driving a wedge between them. In Meat, once Dirk's narrative control has been revealed, he abuses it to hook the two of them up, but it turns out this trope is so strong in the two of them that it takes Dirk an entire chapter to do it.

Meanwhile Candy, which may be written by some version of Calliope, previously established as a parody of fanfic authors, contains a lot of the unusual sexual arrangements (polyamory, milking) one might expect in the classic "fanfic author casually inserts their personal / favorite kink" setup.

To a lesser degree: The Jade/Dave/Karkat pairing takes a rather hard hit as well. Despite their Threesome Subtext, in Candy Karkat and Dave don't love Jade in the way that she loves them and her attempts to push the relationship and their unwillingness to open up end with the three pretty unhappy and breaking up.

Also, she loses her Sevenfold Vision eye, again.

The Homestuck Epilogues / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
The Homestuck Epilogues / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: In one of the commentaries for the printed Homestuck books, Hussie makes mention of the phrase "meat or candy" (as referencing what makes up a story - the hard hitting events and the character developing fluff) before adding that "it's not time to talk about this yet". Internally within the epilogues themselves, this can happen if you read the Candy path first. Muse Calliope, possessing a dead instance of Jade - who is from the Meat route - discusses with Aradia the nature of narrative voices, and how the nature of a narrative can be retroactively altered when the narration is revealed to be a character in themselves. In the Meat narrative, it's revealed that the narrator is Dirk and he is actively controlling the narrative to force his friends along the path of his own design, until Muse Calliope arrives and overrides his control for a time. A few pages back in Act 6 of Homestuck heavily foreshadow the events of the epilogues. Specifically, Jane's copy of Detective Pony vandalized by Dirkâ€”in which he eventually replaces all pre-existing dialogue and narration with his own. The narration describes the book as a tough, emotionally draining read that's cathartic in all the worst ways possible, which is the entire concept of Meat in a nutshell. The Prologue is prefaced with a parody of the Archive of our Own interface, complete with a tag list. Many of them are a given (such as the eight human players and most of the post-scratch trolls), but some tags seem odd, like "gerrymandering," "breastfeeding," "vore," and Barack Obama being listed as a character. These tags aren't exactly jokes, as they do appear within the Epilogues at one point or another.

Calliope is moved, but John is not. While he is not outright seen trying to kill anyone after, he's generally portayed as unsettling and disgusting (and John even has a feeling that he sexually abused Tavros Crocker, though this is never proven one way or the other), to the point where his eventual death at the hands of Vriska Serket/(Vriska) is hardly seen as anything tragic.

The Homestuck Epilogues / int_d243518d	comment	In Spite of a Nail: In Meat, Jane becomes president of the world, allowing her to enact population control over the trolls. In Candy, she doesn't, but her corporation is so powerful and has enough influence that things turn out even worse.

The Homestuck Epilogues / int_d2e75a73	comment	More Diverse Sequel: Unlike the original comic, this devotes a fair amount of space to trans and gender identity issues, and have several characters that are presented as cis in the original come out as trans or genderqueer.

The Homestuck Epilogues / int_ea2e9f2d	type	No Ending
The Homestuck Epilogues / int_ea2e9f2d	comment	No Ending: By the time Candy ends, the pillars of canon have been so thoroughly warped that the story no longer follows a narrative arc at all, and there are no true endings outside of narratives. We never get to see how the war is resolved, how Jade reacts to Dave's sudden disappearance, whether Roxy and Calliope leave Jane, whether Terezi will ever see (Vriska)'s texts, or anything else, and it's implied that fans will have to finish the story themselves. Homestuck: Beyond Canon thankfully picks it back up.

Despite him acting like a more obscene and lecherous version of his pre-sober self, Jane, Roxy, Calliope, and society as a whole agree, much to John's confusion.
