Oh man I forgot to post about what is probably an overlooked thing that I think is actually really important from the Homestuck Epilogue! (Again, spoilers!)
THE TOOTH!
Speficially, Lord English’s tooth that poisons John, killing him with… basically plot irrelevance though Cherub venom. (They say poison but if it’s injected it’s venom not poison and yes I’m going to be nitpicky about that.)
Except… it goes out of its way, multiple times and explicitly, to mention that it’s his *gold* tooth.
Which in no way should be attached to venom glands.
Lord English’s tooth is a plot device to write John Egbert, pretty much the biggest threat to the narrative, out of the story, but the fact that it’s the one tooth that is least likely to poison him makes me think it’s meant to highlight that there’s something wrong. An… intentional plot hole I guess? The narrators trying to create a plot device that can remove Egbert, whihc I think both want to do but in different ways.
You gotta remember, dirk was explicitly punishing john for not being satisfied with earth C. And dirk is only a human, a god yes but still human. It’s reasonable to thing that dirk in his anger at john left this plothole which terezi (the only one who cant be effected by either dirk or muse) can use. Maybe in dirks haste at writing john out of the story he unintentionally turned the tooth into a juju which can render any character irrelevant. Imagine the damage it could do to dirk and muse
