This conversation is averted when John's future self appears and takes John away before Dave notices, sending him away to find Roxy.
John suggests using his ring to bring Calliope back, but finds that the ring is missing upon returning to the Prospitian ship. He once again zaps away and finds himself in Caliborn 's Homosuck drawings, which he is disturbed by.
He goes through a series of misadventures in the story and eventually is zapped out to Caliborn's room, where he quickly pieces together that Caliborn is behind the horrific comic.
The two fight each other, John promptly giving Caliborn a thorough beating before being zapped away once more, leaving a horrified, bloodied Caliborn behind.
Back in the B2 session, he finds himself in the aftermath of a catastrophic massacre. While searching for answers as to what exactly happened, he stumbles across a Dirk Strider being consumed by disordered glitches and later a still-alive Roxy cradling the body of Rose. The three decide the best chance they have at fixing the current situation is for John to get a handle on his canon-altering powers and seek the aid of Typheus. John encourages Roxy to also go see her denizen. In Typheus's palace, John finds him at the planet's core and accepts the Choice.
Typheus opens the pipes leading to the core, which causes the oil to begin flooding the chamber, submerging John and thus preventing him from turning into the breeze to escape. John eventually comes up with a smart solution to the quest: zapping away the oil and spreading it throughout reality.
He plays the pipe organ in Typheus's palace, thereby completing his quest to free the fireflies and knocking the A6A6 cartridge out. LOWAS is teleported somewhere which appears to be outside of the story. Exploring his land, he comes across Roxy, and they discuss the similar Choices they were given. John tells his past alternative self to go see Typheus while he and Terezi work out a plan. She writes instructions on her scarf in her own blood, giving John key terms from her memory so he can zap to those points in her timeline and make subtle changes that would ultimately result in a better outcome.
Among other things, he retrieves the ring of life before Gamzee could find it and knocks out Vriska before Terezi could kill her. He goes to his own timeline to zap Roxy and his planet into the new timeline and arrives at the victory platform where everyone else stands. After some chatting, Vriska lets everyone decide who will take on which villain - , with John going with Rose and Roxy to fight the Condesce.
The Condesce eventually overpowers the kids, however Roxy is able to stealth impale her, ending the fight. John is seen exploring the new world created after Act 7 , and notably celebrating his birthdays with his friends, who grow more and more distant with time.
John eventually gets a challenge from Caliborn which he accepts. It is implied this leads to the events shown in Caliborn's Masterpiece. Years in the future but not many , John uses his retcon powers to confront Caliborn along with the Homestuck Kids , but he and the beta kids are sucked into Caliborn's House-shaped juju, supposedly trapped forever.
It is implied that he is released when Vriska unleashes the juju at L o rd English during the events of Act 7. The John native to the post-retcon timeline was on his version of LOWAS when it exploded in the three-year trip due to pre-retcon John's Choice, and presumably died a heroic death. John's physical appearance could be described as a kid with black messy hair. He has an obvious nerdy look about him, a trait inherited from his ectobiological mother.
His outfit has a picture of what appears to be Slimer from Ghostbusters , but is in fact a Japanese knock-off. John's interests are movies especially Con Air , web comics , and video games. He enjoys paranormal lore, practical japery, and magic tricks , the latter of which he also performs. He owns a computer and likes to make programs, no matter how bad they may be.
He also has a long-standing hatred of the Betty Crocker brand and can play the piano quite well. His room has various items to suggest his hobbies, such as a Magic Chest filled with trick objects.
His walls are littered with posters of movies, web comics, and video games. One example of a real-world videogame that John has played is Crash Bandicoot. Notably, this collection of items, when colored, are typically green, but John associates with the color blue. John tends to be a bit of a goofball, making bad jokes and using off-beat humor and subtle irony. He tends to be passive in nature, complying with commands not because they made logical sense, but because he was told to.
From Dave's description, John is the kind of person who generally does not get emotionally wavered by events that would drive others to the brink, but instead gets riled up and irrationally stubborn over ridiculous minutia, to the amusement or confusion of others. This is proven true on a number of occasions throughout the comic, as he is shown to react calmly and appropriately during some of the more traumatic events of their session, but loses his mind when he briefly loses interest in Con Air.
In a sense, he is one of the most innocent characters in the comic. John is more prone to bad ideas than his friends and is made the butt of a lot of jokes when chatting with them through Pesterchum. He also celebrates the birthdays of his friends, sending them gifts.
John has a tendency to be given commands about making noises and shitting on things. Fortunately, he hasn't complied with any of these, though he often seems to consider them against his better judgement.
John is by far one of the most inventive of the main characters; from the beginning, he shows more innovative prowess in combining items than any of the others, even before the introduction of the alchemiter; he demonstrates this with his poster-nailing and harlequin-funniness-amplifying abilities.
He is the most grounded of the main characters, contrasting Rose's bookish, logical demeanor, Dave's unceasing pursuit of transcendent irony, and Jade's air-headed, scatterbrained antics. He is also the kindest - Rose is generally very cold emotionally, Dave is quite willing to put the pursuit of irony before consideration for others, and Jade's ideas of kindness tend to be a bit odd, although not out of actual malice.
John proves to be quite generous and spends more time than the others helping his Consorts. This is in special contrast to Rose who actively antagonizes them and intentionally sets about destroying her own planet once she learns their session is null, and Dave, who appears to have disregarded them entirely when he wasn't stealing all of their money through the LOHAC Stock Exchange.
All of them. Although Rose and Dave both frequently take potshots at the quality of his jokes and pranks, he appears to have a genuine talent for comedy, as his post-scratch self became a world-famous comedian. Dave, Rose and Jade are John's best friends, and have been for quite some time. None of their feelings for each other has changed since the session has started, although he does think Rose has gotten crazier, and has half-jokingly sworn to rescue her from the clutches of evil caused by her commune with the deep ones.
John is seen to have a close sibling relationship with Jade, as he refused to leave her alone and stayed with her on the ship for 3 years. John does think that Dave is cool, but only says this between him and Dave as seen in the birthday note he sent him. On multiple occasions, Dave has described the two of them as "best bros. He appears to be nervous about Karkat's idea of him marrying Rose; although John has brought up the shipping grid and marrying Rose on quite a few occasions, despite his supposed hesitance.
Additionally, around the time of Seer: Descend , John began to show multiple signs of having a romantic crush on Rose. However, after meeting her again three years later, John no longer behaves this way around her.
They meet again after John finishes his quest and discuss what to do next in terms of the main plot. John hands the ring of life over to her, and she in turn grabs John's hand as they venture onward into what can only be assumed to be even more timeline related shenanigans. John also stated that he felt worse for Roxy after the catastrophic events that he witnessed than he felt for himself.
John quickly develops a friendly relationship with Jake when they meet - they have, among other similarities, a common fondness for movies and similar personalities. John invites Jake to join him, Rose, and Roxy in making plans for dealing with the villains, likely so that he can spend more time with him.
John's relationship with Karkat had become a duo of hate and friendship. John now enjoys all of Karkat's hate-filled rants because of the sheer "insane trolling" Karkat is capable of. While not his patron troll, Karkat has trolled him backward through almost every step of his journey.
After he finished his backward trolling, Karkat's feelings toward John became far less antagonistic, and he has even apologized for all his bad behavior to him and his friends. John's talks with Terezi have been strained at best. The first time they talked , Terezi threatened to kill him as a prank, which caused him to change his Pesterchum handle.
Later on, he gets involved in Terezi's plot to mess up the timeline, although they constantly antagonized each other. Since Dave has started working together with Terezi, she has stopped talking to John for the most part, as Vriska became his new patron troll.
After John explains to Dave his interactions with Terezi, Karkat insists that John has a caliginous crush on Terezi, although John argues that humans cannot have those kinds of relations. John later has mixed feelings about the idea, denying that he is black for her but heavily implying otherwise.
Later, John and Terezi have a conversation, which, although we don't get to see what they say, seems to be filled with black flirting and trading insults. John has talked to Kanaya twice: first from John's perspective months in the past, and second during Sburb through Rose's account.
John has twice talked to Aradia since joining Vriska's pirate crew. The first time he was introduced to her, he questioned her ghostliness, and she told him she was alive.
The second time, he asked her about her opinions on Vriska's crew's adventure. John's relationship with Vriska is a very complex one.
It seems to fluctuate between admiring and disliking her. At first, Vriska decided to help John on his quest as a means of competing with Terezi, who was helping Dave. Vriska was very bossy and a controlling of John at first, which he found mildly annoying, but still enjoyed talking with her. Vriska and John's feelings continued to develop; John used more of her typing quirk to please her, Vriska made an outfit for John that she said made him totally hot, and John showed her Nicolas Cage , who became her fangirl crush.
However, after Vriska killed Tavros, Vriska opened up with more of her feelings than she had with anybody else. She held John's opinion of her in the highest respect, fearing that he would be angry with her -. She has told John about not only her remorse for the killing of Tavros and others, but how her views of killing compared to those of troll society, how much she admired humans for being weaker but nicer, and her entire background. Though he was a bit freaked out after hearing that Vriska had murdered twice and killed thousands to feed her Lusus, he didn't seem to think less of her after receiving the shock.
She recruited Gamzee and Tavros possibly Kanaya too. When she came to Karkat, he insisted he be leader. This meant Terezi had to help Karkat enter the medium. She did, but not without coloring his house and throwing his toilet in the process. Soonafter she went outside because her dragon was going to hatch, and she wanted to greet her in person for the first time. When Gamzee helped her enter the medium she revived the dragon through the kernelsprite. During the game, Sn0wman communicates with her and tries to convince her that Jack is a bad person who needs to be exiled.
Karkat refuses to believe this due to his blind hero worship of Jack. She agrees to overthrow the black queen, but apparently they exile Jack too at some point. Their relationship seems to be healthy and sweet, if a little on the down-low.
She even acknowledges that everyone respects Karkat as a leader. In the meteor, Terezi checks on Prospit to discover it has been destroyed, and he dreamself had died along with it. She goes to her computer to tell everyone in a memo, but is interrupted by her future self and told to wait about three minutes. Three minutes later she is sent a metric fuckton of money, by none other than Dave Strider.
She goes to find out who Dave is, then proceeds to try to make friends with him. And lord did their relationship have problems at this point. When Vriska forced Dave to fall asleep at a pivotal moment, and upon discovering that John may have been the cause of their problems, Terezi sought out revenge by talking to John in the past.
She directed him to his denizen, who John went to fight too early. He died doing this, and created the doomed timeline that caused Davesprite to exist. Calliope's black hole has swallowed the green sun and started to consume paradox space, but the final blow to LE is yet to be inflicted. The kids join the fight alongside the army of dream bubble ghosts, including Meenah and Tavros.
Things quickly take a turn for the dire: Rose is consumed in a beam of energy; Jade is fatally impaled on a shard of the void; Tavros is disintegrated, and Meenah is seemingly thrown into the singularity. Dave is not so furtunate I mean fortunate, and is decapitated. In retaliation, Davepeta impales LE on their claws and flies into the black hole with him in tow. The fight is won, but at a terrible cost.
John has been skewered by one of LE's teeth, and begins to fall prey to a deadly venom. He loses consciousness. He is soon compelled to awaken by an external influence he cannot identify. John contemplates the inherent futility of his existence, before coming across his dad's wallet modus and taking it with him. He finds Meenah, not yet double dead, clinging to a server beacon. She steals the Ring of Life from him and makes her escape through the server.
He then encounters Terezi, who has been searching for Vriska for an indeterminate amount of time, and who is on the brink of starvation. John deploys the contents of his father's wallet. Terezi gorges herself on a hearty meal of pipe tobacco and shaving cream. John cannot help but be smitten. For several days the pair of them camp out in John's dad's spare car.
Eventually Terezi offers to remove the tooth still embedded in John's abdomen. He assents, and she performs the impromptu surgery. In the heat of the moment, the two embrace passionately. They then fuck in the back of the car and that's really all there is to say on the matter. John convinces Terezi to return to Earth C with him. But when they arrive, our hero finally succumbs to LE's venom, which has the effect of corroding a person's canonical existence beyond any hope of revival.
John Egbert dies in Terezi's arms, ostensibly for good. His story is at an end. Meanwhile, on Earth C, things have been getting political. Jane Crocker has decided to run for the presidency of Earth, the first time one of the 12 players has attempted such a maneuver.
There is a sinister pretext to her bid for power: this year is the first time that the new Mother Grub will be used to propagate the troll population on Earth C, as opposed to simple cloning. Jane is running on a platform which many suspect would curtail the reproductive rights of the troll race on Earth C, and which Karkat and Dave believe to be some real xenophobic bullshit.
Dave also thinks that Jane's economic plans leave something to be desired. He convinces Karkat to campaign in opposition to her. The two discuss the likely allegiances of their remaining friends, who together comprise the most powerful and influential people on the planet.
Kanaya, Rose and Jade will be likely allies to their cause. Dirk, Jane's campaign manager, is already accounted for. Roxy and Calliope are neutral parties, as is Jake.
English, the most successful celebrity figure of them all, will be the deciding factor in the election, with both sides furiously courting his endorsement.
Once their plan is decided, Dave gets a call from his brother. The crowd is not amused. After soliloquizing ominously to Dave for a while, Dirk hangs up and resumes the show. Jake proceeds to perform the worst rap in the history of paradox space. Dirk then tranquilizes him and ends the episode in order to field a call from Rose, who is contacting him to discuss her condition.
Dirk reveals that he is already aware of this apparent secret, and moreover that he is suffering the same "sickness" despite not showing any of the same symptoms.
He invites Rose to his studio to discuss the matter further. Some time later, Dave, Karkat and Jade discuss strategy. Things quickly take a turn for the uncomfortable however, as Jade manages to turn the conversation to the subject of their three-way relationship dynamic.
In particular, she focuses on Dave and Karkat's feelings for each other. Dave and Karkat vehemently deny any romantic feelings despite literally all evidence to the contrary. Jade draws a shipping grid and leaves the two of them to think about it.
They pretend not to think about it very very hard indeed. Jane attempts to woo Jake to her campaign unsuccessfully. Not to be deterred, she invites him to her office, where she tries to seduce him physically as well as politically. In this moment of intimacy, Jake's thoughts cannot help but turn to Dirk, however.
He makes his excuses and leaves. Jane furiously rings her campaign manager, unaware that he is the reason for this unfortuitous development. Dirk offers to deal with Jake, before hanging up quickly as Rose arrives. The two need to talk. Over the course of the conversation, Rose's condition deteriorates further before she loses consciousness. Dirk, who has secretly already come into his own as an ascended self, openly claims control of the narrative of Homestuck.
The Prince is awake, and our shit is wrecked. Jade attempts to persuade Roxy and Calliope to endorse Karkat's campaign, but they are unconvinced. Roxy is unwilling to go against such a close friend, and Callie is uncomfortable with taking sides. The two of them come out as nonbinary, to Jade's and Dirk's surprise. At a moment circumstantially simultaneous with her alternate self's death in the furthest ring, Jade suddenly passes out. This alternate self, experiencing her last moments after the battle with LE, approaches the supermassive black hole which was once the green sun.
She is beckoned forward by the voice of Calliope's god tier self, who speaks in the narrative text in opposition to Dirk. He panics, and quickly shifts our focus back to Earth. Dave and Karkat visit Kanaya in the brooding caverns and discuss the election. Kanaya reveals that Jane has already visited the caverns in an attempt to curry favor with the troll kingdom.
Kanaya believes that while Crocker's intentions may be good, her xenophobic beliefs about troll reproduction border on the fascistic and are too dangerous to be ignored.
She agrees to aid Karkat's campaign, and then attempts to phone Rose. Dirk picks up instead. He rebuffs Kanaya's inquiries into her wife's health, hanging up on her in order to continue talking with Rose, who is now very weak. She is on the verge of ascension, her physical body barely able to contain her higher self. So far she has resisted the urge.
But Dirk convinces her to fail to resist the urge. From this point on, he holds her physical body together with his powers until such time as he is able to deposit her soul into a vessel of his own construction. Teen Jade falls into the black hole. The dead cherub uses her as a beacon to gain access to the narrative, now openly challenging Dirk's control. The two fight for supremacy as the adult Jade wakes up on Earth C.
Her newfound consciousness and the battle are both short lived however, as the dead cherub takes possession of her body and the narrative in one fell swoop. The Prince is, for the moment, outmatched. Jane returns from the campaign trail, where she has been using trickster mode as a publicity strategy. Dirk warns her against overindulgence, and the two discuss the Jake stakes once again.
Dirk says that he is working on a backup plan, now that his influence has been curtailed somewhat. Meanwhile, Dave and Karkat successfully convince Jake to endorse their campaign, and team Vantas organize a stadium event to announce this fact. Things do not go according to plan. While Dave and Roxy discuss the queer experience at the rally, Dirk ascends the bell tower with Roxy's red sniper rifle in hand, apparently intending to assassinate or tranquilize Jake during his speech.
The dead cherub attempts to stop him through narrative fiat, but is outwitted. Dirk in fact snipes Jade with the tranquilizer dart, which has the effect of ending the dead cherub's possession. Without Jade to act as her beacon, she is forced to relinquish narrative control to the Prince. Back in the stadium, Jake declares his love for Dirk Strider and switches his endorsement at the last minute.
The Vantas campaign collapses, and Jane coasts into office unopposed. A month passes. Jade remains comatose in hospital during this time--Terezi, who recently returned to Earth with John, meets Roxy outside.
After the two catch up and Roxy departs, Dirk reveals that he and Rose will be leaving Earth C momentarily, and invites Terezi to join them. Rose and Dirk prepare for their departure. Dirk uses Kanaya's insecurities to manipulate her into accepting her wife's "decision" to leave, simultaneously convincing Rose that Kanaya has no qualms in letting her go.
