So: it turns out that – regardless of whether it was the original plan – what Homestuck: Beyond Canon's third writing team in five years is going with seems to be a cosmic battle between a godlike asshole who thinks transformative fiction has a moral obligation to engage in thematic and structural fidelity with its source material, and a godlike asshole who thinks transformative fiction shouldn't exist at all. It's an interesting direction, if an obvious one. In fact, it's so obvious that the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy is treading the exact same ground at the exact same time; it's going to be pretty fucking bizarre watching to see which of them – if either! – manages to stick the landing.

It’s a loop!
Guys i have a wacky theory but, BUT, we know Dirk and Rose are creating 2 different new species to compete with each other on Deltritus, Terezi will judge them and the winner gets to play sburb.
We saw many discarded creatures before the big 3-year hiatus, and when it came back we could see one particular creature, a horroterror looking creature, obviously made by rose.
So rose is most likely mixing abyssal creatures with her own DNA to make the ultimate Sburb player.
Acording to the MS Paint Adventures Wiki
“ Rose lalonde was never very involved with the show but purchased a shirt and re-purposed it to fit her tastes, which is quite fitting considering that the Squiddles are, in part, a subconscious reimagining of the Horroterrors and the other monsters in the Furthest Ring.”
NOW, Andrew Hussie once said jokingly that the session that created the A1 (the dancestors’s) universe was played by 48 Squiddles, but later deconfirming its canonicity in Book 4's commentary.
What if they are using that idea again? It’s normal to create stuff, delete it and suddenly dig it out because it can be repurposed for a new idea.
And with the last update confirming Rose’s species to be aquatic I think we’re headed in that direction.
I think Dirk and Rose will make their 2 species, and rose’s will be horroterror-like creatures. They will win the competition against Dirk’s species (idk probably something related to horse puppet ninjas) and a group of them will play the game.
Another instance of the squidles real form being abyssal creatures is the very first creature Dirk creates, maybe foreshadowing the winner of the competition?
Acording to dirk this will be a 4 player session. Which makes the staement of “a 48 squiddles session created Beforus’s universe” false, but still a posible foreshadowing to a more reduced number of the abisal conterpart of the squiddles being responsible for the creation of said universe.
So this Horroterror/squidle people play and win the game, create a universe, and this universe is where Beforus is born (Universe A1), which then gets scratched and creates Alternia (Universe A2), which creates EarthA, the beta kid's home (Universe B1), which also gets scratched and creates EarthB, the alpha kids’s apocaliptical home gobernated by the Condesce (Universe B2), which creates EarthC’s universe, where all the surviving players now live (Universe C), where the Horroterror/squidle people are created, who then win their game, create a universe, and this universe is where Beforus is born(Universe A1) etc, etc, etc.
There’s only five universes, which feed from each other in a wheel that creates and is created by one another.
The Alpha timeline, just like a juju, is a perfect cycle and doesn’t have a beginning or end.
There’s no escape, it’s a loop.

HS2 spoilers and theory just because
I wonder if the reason that Rose is like, such an asshole about the whole cheating situation it's because she is trying to get emotionally distant from Kanaya because she knows she is going to die soon and doesnt want Kanaya to feel the pain or smt

The way the characters are talking in the new update's probably due to alt!Calliope losing her grip on the candy timeline after she got expulsed from her vessel, I guess the new kids will have to earn their kiddie camper badges to have dialoguelogs again

"why was rose so cold in this upd8? it's so out of character"
kanaya wanted no justific8tion, or defense, she wanted rose and jade to own up to it. so she did. she said it outright, without defense. cuz that's what her wife wanted.
