Ok, everyone, we need your help!
Scratch-mun and I have been discussing Kefka and Scratch's rivalry, and one of the ideas that came up was "Kefka helps create a doomed timeline to yoink the trolls to safety from" along with "if the comm is hosting a doomed timeline, does Scratch go with it since he's on the community? What about future Kanaya?"
So, how interested would people be in timeline shenanigans? If a "doomed timeline" was created, who would want to be in it? How would Homestuck people not in that timeline react? How about people who want to study the comm as it does things to timelines? Is anyone not interested? And how will this work with canon?

Scratch-mun here is coming clean and admitting that she has pretty much no idea if everyone even IS in the same timeline or just in different points in time or what. Scratch-mun is not a very good communicator. She will stop referring to herself in the third person now - I'd really appreciate it if you helped me out here. ;; Then I can actually decide at what point in canon Scratch is.
(By this point, you might be suspecting I am a horrible RPer. I take full responsibility.)
That aside, it's pretty clear that as soon as we start playing out splitting timelines, things can get really complex, hence the existence of this post. I assume most of the HS cast has a grasp of how alpha and beta-and-so-on timelines work, but if anyone (even if you're not in the cast) needs an explanation, don't be afraid to ask! I'll just leave you with one note to keep in mind for all this: Scratch states in canon that the main timeline is the only one where he is born and the only one where he dies. If the community drags everyone from the cast into a beta, including him, shit is going to get seriously weird. If everyone but him goes... I guess it would make things easier, and it might be interesting in the sense that people get to see what's SUPPOSED to happen and... such.
