I had a thought, and it’s not super well formed, but I kind of feel the need to throw it into the void.
Nanami Kiryuu from Revolutionary Girl Utena begins the series as perhaps the most immature and absurd character and even has a tendency toward cruelty. This tendency appears to be more out of a sense of selfishness than sadism, but it’s there nonetheless.
But throughout the course of the series, her maturity excels, and aside from Utena and Anthy themselves, may possibly be one the the most disillusioned character at the end of the show. This is especially remarked upon by the fact that she isn’t introduced to the duels until closer to the end of the first arc, but the turning point in her arc comes even before Touga’s, a character who’s always giving the impression of maturity and adulthood and shown in relative positions of power and was perhaps the most deeply involved in the duels at the beginning of the series (aside from Akio and Anthy of course).
so having uncovered the pervasive gnostic imagery tying homestuck to other fantastic works like The Neverending Story, Mother 3, and Revolutionary Girl Utena, its time to get to the real discourse
the epilogue is real. its going to be act 8 but its just going to be a remake of the episode from Utena where Nanami lays an egg, starring Vriska as Nanami.
Juri can be…oh lets say dead Aradia, why not. or Rose.
