One thing about homestuck Act 6 that really bothers
me is that Caliborn is somehow able to interact with
The pre retcon timeline. How is this possible? He only
exists post retcon presumably, since Universe C only
exists post retcon. People originally assumed he was
pre retcon, but he can’t be because universe C
doesn’t exist in the original timeline.
The pre retcon timeline shouldn’t even
exist by his point. He should be seeing the kids from
the post retcon timeline on his monitors? I know that
the retcon hadn’t happened yet in real life, but this
seems like a plot hole. He messes with the game over
timeline by stuffing the homestuck act 6 cartridge
full of stardust thus causing things to go wrong. He
even gives the pre retcon alpha kids the lolllipops,
and I guess he also gives the post retcon kids theirs
too offscreen? He mentions Erisolsprite also so he’s
definitely talking to the pre retcon kids.
Then later, he watches the kids in the epilogues
battle him in the Masterpiece. Can he just see any
timeline on the monitors of his planet? Can he see
doomed timelines also? That’s the only way this can
all make sense. I mean it is supposed to be the
headquarters of MSPA, right?
The worst implication by far of the retcon though is
that since the events that led to Lil Cal would’ve
repeated again in the new timeline, there should be a
post retcon Lil Cal, Doc Scratch, and Lord English.
