With recent information regarding the 03/16/12 updates, it has been theorised that the kids should not

exist, because their histories have been reset, yet do exist, with all memories and intact from when they left it. They now exist as Glitches in Space/Time. With this in mind, they now have the power to destroy Lord English, who can only be killed by said glitches in space/time. But, Rose has also discovered:
ROSE: But as it is, I think the forces opposing these players are clandestinely working toward the same goal as we are. ROSE: From what I can tell, gestures of antagonism, while certainly posing legitimate danger, have been factored in as critical stepping stones to one destination shared by all parties. ROSE: I don't know why this is, or what the motives are yet.

If we assume these opposing forces are in fact the Condesce, we can then understand what this goal is. The creation of a universe. However, it is fair to say that the universe she wishes to create would be one that suits her goals. I.E. the recreation of her Empire. But what though what means? The kids now provide the answer to killing LE. They also have with them the answer to creating a new universe. Their original Battlefield. The reason the Condesce was making little effort to actually directly kill off the Post-Scratch kids is because their entering of the session was important to her plans. Her plan to create HER perfect universe. And this is where the Lord English Alpha/Omega Snare Trap Theory comes in. If we assume that Lord English is invincible to normal attacks, and can only be defeated through space/time glitches, then how can one defeat him? What are the glitches? Let us consider that there exist two different kinds of S/T glitches. A) Passive S/T Glitches: This is what the Kids currently exist as. They are glitches in time and space. They technically dont exist, as their histories have been erased. Yet they do, though space/time shenanigans, so now their attacks and powers have the passive trait of being able to puncture any defences that involve Space/Time as their source of protection. B) Directed S/T Glitches: This is basically FORCING a S/T glitch to occur, and this is possibly the most difficult when it is applied to Lord Englishs case to use, but potentially the most powerful. This is where doing something that would cause either a paradox or loop in Space/Time to somehow break and yet still continue(To play beyond

the death of a king in chess, for example). For the Lord English Alpha/Omega Snare Trap Theory (or the Multiiuniversal Gambit, for a more snazzy name), there will be both. There will be a coming together of powerful, S/T glitched forces, all powerful and deadly in their own right, in the form of the PreScratch kids, Post-Scratch Trolls, Bec Noir and Ring-empowered PM. But why to this session? Why are they coming to this session in particular? Because Lord English will enter this session. And SBURB has prepared for him. SBURB orchestrates itself too make sure that its existence continues. This is shown with time, and how time works within SBURB. Aranea describes it as a cardiovascular system, with the Alpha timeline acting as the main arteries and veins, allowing the blood to flow. The same for time, and how time flows naturally and on course. Doomed timelines are also explained: the veins and capillaries that do not help the overall flow of 8lood through the system are likely to wither and die. Those are doomed offshoots. She explained how SBURB uses this to maintain its continued existence: AG: Reality itself is using you and many others to propagate its own existence. 1 This shows that SBURB has a sense of self preservation. To the point that it will destroy life again and again to make sure its existence continues. And Lord English is a threat to that existence. He simply destroys. So SBURB, with its infinite knowledge of the future within itself, and all around it, has now fabricated a situation to trap Lord English in the most hostile environment possible for him in several ways. Lord English actually has many different defences, rather than just the one. One: His immunity to all except S/T Glitch damage. This has already been touched on. Two: Because of the use of time travel, you would think one could simply trace his personal history to a point in which he is at his weakest, and defeat him there. He devours universe to gain power, but he must have started at somewhere. He has consumed countless universes, but, within the instance that you would meet him, he would only have a finite number consumed. So there must be a point

he was weak. When he had only just began. His Alpha Session, if you will. His first. Because of such, you would need knowledge of where that session was. But, even with this knowledge, there is no exact way of reaching this session. To even find the right session in the mess that is the Furthest Ring is an almost impossible task, as travel there is unreliable. Gaming Abstractions that involve space/time travel are limited in their scope, and are usually contained only within their own universe, or can only jump universes at a limited range, and mostly only so far into other universe, in the case of Bec Noirs travelling into the Troll session and Dave and Aradias time powers respectively. Ill touch on the Alpha Session later on, as there is another point to be made with the Alpha. Three: As an extension from the last point, LE devours universes to gain power. Because of such, the later in his timeline you get, the more powerful and difficult he is to kill. Hes as powerful as he is in that instance of existence, but encounter him in another timeframe, and you may be up against an entirely more powerful LE, as you cannot encounter him in a previous session that he has devoured, because it is now gone from current existence, and history. This is another important detail that will be addressed later. Four: He enters at the death of a universe, which means he enters unchallenged. It is only then does he go backwards in time. This adds the final defence in his many layers of protection, as whatever remains at the time of history within the session would be completely oblivious to his presences in the session, or too weak to do anything to stop it.

This is what where the Snare Trap comes into effect. The Trap is the fact that Lord English will enter this session with the understanding that this is business as usual. Little does he know that he is actually entering a session in which everything is stacked against him. What if he was to enter on someone elses terms? A starting point which is unfavourable or one that has been set up as an ambush? Another part of the trap would be that he could not escape this session. He has no way of exiting this session, as he has no escape plan. He has never needed to in the past, and this is to be no different by all his expectations. He would be unsuspecting of the threat this session holds. Another point is that the one he is relying on to bring him into

this universe could be conspiring against him. The Condesce aims to start a new world. She can do this through the normal method that SBURB provides, yet this would simply be a temporary solution, and if that was so, she would lose her world within the current session, as it would be destroyed in the meteor hellfire. She has shown a desire to rebirth her race and her Empire on Earth by attempting to clone her species. However, the Gl'bgolyb on Earth kills every attempt at reviving her race. Eventually, she wipes out the remaining humans, and her intentions for the world at the time of Dirk and Roxys entry into Earths timeline are unknown. However, it is implied that Glbgolyb on her original planet was created and delivered by either Lord English himself, or Doc Scratch. Either way, because it clearly intends to not allow any trolls to be produced by the Condesce, this might be Lord Englishs way of indicating that he does not want her to recreate her empire. And so she gains nothing from helping Lord English. She loses her power over her universe, and whatever remains in it, and she will never be able to revive her race. Thus, her only remaining option is to jeopardize the session for him when he enters, and, finally, kill him. She cannot, however, do it herself. Thus, she needs to create the right conditions in which this will be facilitated. SBURB has predicted this. To it, as an entity, or whatever entity that governs it, Lord English is its greatest threat. So, it has gathered together a force with which the Condesce can use against Lord English. The irony being that the fact that this force exists is due to Lord Englishs manipulation. They were an unintended side effect, and thus, may prove his undoing. But this isnt enough. And thus is presented the most important aspect of this session, as well as the Condesce plans. She could simply continue to rule this session, but it allow her to extend her power and influence. She would restricted to that session and that session ONLY. With of wanting to have more and more power, this would not And so, she has an alternative. Lord English has a starting point. Ive dubbed this point the Alpha session. This session would hold within it the weakness too his power. It, in itself, is a time loop. But what if its destruction would cause his destruction also? This is due to it not only being wouldnt simply be her attitude be enough.

his first session. It is his genesis. Something within this Alpha session becomes the Lord English we see. To do that, something must have happened. There have been subtle hints (Lord English computer gear owned by Jake2, Dirks poster of SBURB outside his room having LEs symbol3 This was later proven to be Granma Jades attempts at insulting the Condesce indirectly by branding her company with the symbol of LE. She also gave Jake LEs name4. Thus Jake English. However, there might be more to this than it seems5) that might indicate that LE had something to do with this session specifically. One would argue that Alternia was influenced by him, but that was only before he entered (ok, so hes always been there, but I mean before his entrance was facilitated). There hasnt been visual evidence of existence in a session, only the few marks that only the learned can identify. If LE devours that session, this would never have happened, and thus his creation would never happen. He himself becomes an S/T glitch. This then breaks down one of his own defences, and creates within himself a paradox. Think of this like what would happen if Snowman flipped her own coin. She, and the whole universe, would cease to exist. Something similar would happen to LE. He devours his genesis; he becomes an S/T, and thus his own weakness. He loses his powers, as all sessions before this devouring have never been devoured. So, no matter how many sessions he devours, so long as his genesis still exists, only then will his power still continue to exist. What if the one he is entering is the Alpha? What if this session is his genesis? He is walking into a universe built on unstable ground. If LE was to enter this session, he would not be able to devour it without weakening himself. Meaning he is entry is a futile effort. The Condesce will exploit this. Lord English contains within himself the power of multiple universes, as well as the Green Sun, itself made of the mass of two universes. The Green Sun is peculiar, as it there has never been something like it before. The machine that created it, the bomb inside The Tumour, had been powered by the deaths of the two universes. It had absorbed their energy, and, with it, created the Green Sun.

Lord English would do the same. Upon his death, a mass of energy will no doubt be released due to the countless universes within him. With this energy, there is a hypothetical chance that this energy can be used to create something new. And here is where the Condesces plans for creating a new universe lie. She will kill Lord English, either by tricking him into devouring his own genesis to weaken him, or through exploiting the forces that will enter the session, and with a device similar to the Tumour, will spawn a new universe. What is different about THIS universe is that it would be outside the influence of S___B. It was not able to prevent the existence of the Green Sun, for example. It simply incorporated it into its power, without any true control over what it does. This session will be much the same. S___B would not be able to prevent it, nor would it be able to control it. This session in question would exist outside S___Bs control. It is the final session. The ultimate universe. Omega. The beginning and the end. Alpha/ the genesis, and the Omega/ the end. From this resulting universe, she will recreate her Empire. And reign over the new troll race, and all races spawned in the new universe, forever. She will become the ultimate tyrant. Again. Now lays the true challenge for the children. They must prevent the Condesces plans going HER way, and have the universe created so that it is outside not only SBURBs influence, but the Condesces as well. Otherwise, the new universe would not be given a chance to develop on its own, and without the controlling domination of S___B or the Condesce. This is the Multiiversal Gambit. The Lord English Alpha/Omega Snare Trap theory. A conspiracy in which the cycle will be broken. The result will either be catastrophic for humanity in the new universe, or it will be an ascending freedom. Lord English will be ironic saviour of the day, and will create a safe haven which S___B cannot touch. All of this will be the ending of the greatest plot loop within Homestuck. This is the end of the story. The kids win, and the universe they create will live on forever and flourish, or itll be enslaved by the Condesce. The coming together of these elements seems to mean that something is afoot, as is confirmed by Rose. Whatever happens, time will tell. Ill attempt to update this as much as possible as new information comes up.
