Very late Homestuck End of Act 5 post

In the rush to get everything finished in time for the Madman finals I missed my chance to say something timely about the rollercoaster ride that was the EoA5 animation, which is a real shame, because, I mean, damn. Worth every last minute of the wait (which, I would note, I got into Homestuck fandom just in time to experience in all it's month-plus glory). I don't think I can even remember the last time I was in a fandom where something with that many expectations riding on it managed to deliver on that many levels. Like, seriously, I am enjoying the fuck out of this thing, heart-rending tragedy, authorial trolling and all.

( SPOILERS for everything up to the end of act 5. Also, a theory, which may just contain SPOILERS for stuff even later than that. But only if I'm actually right. )
