Hi. I just came up with this theory and needed to post it somewhere people might see it, so came here and joined. Hope this is a good place.

It's about the sprites.

In rereading Homestuck, I've just got to Act 5 Act 2 where the Trolls and Humans start really interacting and I've noticed: None of the trolls have their sprites anymore. They're all pretty broken up about it, too. Enough to the point that Karkat actually apologizes to Equius about Authour being gone.

My thought: the sprites are used to make the door at the end of the game.

Twelve sprites combine to make the twelve-fold door leading to the trolls' Ultimate Reward. It's a bittersweet parting for all of them that becomes tragic when Jack destroys it.

Fast Forward to the end:

Say everybody wins - Jane brings Jade back to life; the Condense, Jack, and Caliborn are all defeated in an intense, satisfying way. Aranea may or may not return to the void and Gamzee is appeased. The sprites then combine to form the door to the universe born out of the Alpha Kids' session.

Except, there's only five sprites left - Erisol, Arquius, Nanasrite, Jaspersprite, and Davesprite. Six, if Dog Tier Jade counts as her own sprite. We could lose Davesprite, and perhaps Jade, in this last scene so that the others can live.

Then, it's only a five/six-fold door, so only five/six players can pass through the door to the new world, out of the surviving characters.

I'm curious if anybody has any thoughts on this, or has thought of this also. Discuss?

Thats an interesting theory. It makes a lot of sense, except that Aradia was also her own sprite and she never had to sacrifice herself to make the door to the reward.

But then again, she was dead at the time, and her soul was stuck in a robot, so maybe she didnt need a sacrifice to enter, as a dead troll couldn't really claim the Ultimate Reward?

Sidenote: i really really want to know what reward awaits them btw. What could be better than being a god to your very own new universe? Immortality? A fetch modus that is actually useful and user friendly? All your dead friends back? Unlimited Nutella? (wait, that last one is just something I want...)
