So Ive Solved Homestuck. (Contains Problem Sleuth Spoilers)

Well at least a large chunk of it, that being Lord English, and what is in store for Calliope and uu.
So as we know Calliope is the Muse of Space, and unfortunately we don’t quite understand what that entails for her yet but what we do know is that its the most passive. With Hussie constantly making references to his past works, I got thinking of ways any of this could tie into anything he’s done before. Then it hit me, the most passive character Hussie has ever made is Pickle Inspector from Problem Sleuth.
Now, if you havent read problem sleuth yet let me say this much:
a) Go read it.
And pay attention to this guy here.
I’ll wait here for you.
Because within the context of the story, Pickle Inspector has a very high ‘game stat’ that exists within the story that allows him to do amazing things within a dream world, its called imagination (yes that is the actual stat). Now at one point in the story Pickle Inspector splits up into six separate PIs, four of which go off to pull off time shenanigans (that will become tremendously important later in this explanation.) but the other two I’d like to focus on right now.
One of the first thing PI did with his multiple selves was ascend to godhood.
And so became GodHead PI (where daves chumhandle came from), though the only thing he could really do as a God was muse (or fondly regard) his creation, the next thing PI did was TAKE FORM OF AN EVEN MORE LOATHSOME BEAST
Now here we see an example of a single character becoming a god, and then transforming into a horrible monster…. you see where Im going with this.
A musing god, and a loathsome beast. Bear with me here, I propose that Calliopes dead dream self (seeing as PI only has this kind of power in the dream world) will be able to go God Tier, and so become Muse of Space, what will that allow her to do? Well, the other Pickle Inspectors that I mentioned earlier who went off to mess around with time? Well they returned to Godhead PI later in the story, who makes a request of them. That they split up and become all matter in the universe.
What I think a muse does, is just this (more or less). Its fairly obvious that Calliope is representative of the fandom, though what if she literally is the fandom. What if Calliope is us, as god tiered she splits into a thousands of points, thousands of readers- we /literally/ are Calliope.
Which brings us to one of the biggest mysteries in the Homestuck story.

Lord English.
What does he want, the main villain- what are his goals? What does he hope to gain from all of this?
Lets assume that uu is undoubtedly LE (If not thats one hell of a read herring ) in which case his motives have been clear from some of his first pesterlogs, he wants to kill Calliope. Think about Homestuck, and the reality its set in, what other motives could an all powerful demon have? Universal domination, possible, but unlikely seeing how easily a universe can be destroyed. Destruction of time and space? Maybe, but that seems a little useless for Hussies writing. No.
What I propose is that, All of this, all of Lord Englishes moves are to kill us. The fandom, because we are Calliope.
Hes already gotten one of us. (Lets face it, we’re as much a part of this as he is.)
Oh and one more little thing about the connection between UU uu and PI.
>GPI: Fondly regard crustacean
OMG
I…buy into a lot of this theory
maybe not all of it will be correct but this seems legitimatly possible
O.O holy shit

Okay, THIS to everything here, forever. Holy shit.

She has that spiral in her dreams.

“Muse of Space” pretty much directly translates to “Fondly regard Creation”.

She’s told by uu “YOuR DEATH. WILL BE. YOUR GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT.”, which kind of makes sense if she’s somehow responsible for the perpetuation of everything ever in her death.

The whole “Lord English killing the fandom” thing is more metaphorical than anything else, but it does still have a nice whole “the fandom is responsible for reality” vibe.

(When the post connected crustacean and her Karkat-symbol connections, I thought he was tying together that spiral on GPI’s forehead with that same symbol and everything, which makes a lot more heavy and important a thematic connection!)

It’s not going to be LITERALLY what GPI did. Keep that in mind. While she’s not going to literally “be” every particle that ever exists like GPI was… it could definitely be something to the same thematic effect.

But, yeah, this fucking post ties it all together. I knew she’d do something important in her death or what have you, perhaps something extremely broad, but I didn’t feel the narrative hints and basis for the pure scope until all these GPI connections. She’s somehow going to be responsible for existence itself, or the perpetuation thereof. It’s right there in our faces! You, my friend, have cracked the code. :)

She ascends to passive godhood (not god-tier, god as in the all-pervasive God), and he descends to active demonhood. He’s a mob boss, and she’s full of imagination. Through his eventual creation, Lord English embodies destruction, and through her eventual destruction, Calliope will embody creation.

(EDIT: Though Kanaya will likely be the one to steal the “sew up reality” part of the callback.)
