I think he committed suicide. I believe his shoes were left on the floor because in certain cultures, it is a sign of you stepping out of your life and moving to the next. So in other words, it's a sign of taking ones own life. Then again, it might not have been his shoes.
I feel the need to point out: He was sitting in Tavros' wheelchair. After he dies, his shoe is on the ground and Tav's chair is knocked over. _Gamzee most likely hanged himself._ He stood on and knocked over Tav's chair to do the deed. His shoe fell off shortly afterward.
+Game Masta Given that this seems to be an AU where the game never happened, I think it's most likely that Feferi was killed by another fuchsia-blood, who challenged her for the title of Empress.

I watched this video over and over. I understood it. I thought it was sad and all, but I was never effected. Then I read your comment, which was apparently a bad idea because I read it at the and time the events were happening. I don't know why, but only then did I cry. Hussie.... why must you kill off every character in your comic...
I would have cried and i wanted to even more when i read ur comment at the same time it was happining but my soul dosent want me to cry at sad things like this but i want to but i never cry at any sad thing it makes me sad that i can't get sad at things like this
The character who deserves then most pity within this comic, is Feferi. Feferi watched all of her friends slowly die one by one. First karkat, then aradia, then tavros, sollux, nepeta, kanaya, terezi, vriska, equius, gamzee, and eridan. Eridan was the only one she had left, and he eventually passed too. Feferi was left all alone. Until, her peace finally came too.
The saddest part in my opinion was when Tavros and Nepeta died. Gamzee was sitting in his chair as Equius is crying on the floor. I think my eyes are broken.
When you consider the ages these trolls die, it's depressing. I calculated the sweeps every troll died to see what age they would've died. (In human years) Karkat: died at 26 Aradia: died at 34 Tavros: died at 52 Sollux: died at 80 Nepeta: died at 106 Kanaya: died at 295 Terezi: died at 386 Vriska: died at 570 Equius: died at 833 Gamzee: (should have) died at 1328 Eridan: died at 1753 Feferi: died at 2224 These trolls either died too soon, or had to watch as all their friends disappear until it was their time to go. Troll lifespans are like a curse to this group and it hurts. (How I calculated: a sweep in canon is 2.17 human years. I calculated with the day each died)
There are a few points about this that hit me deep. 1.) Karkat died first, since he is a mutant. Everyone always just kind of shrugged him off as the stupid and weird guy with a leader complex, and he in turn feels like everyone hates him based on how he presents himself. But EVERYONE is upset by his death. Kanaya, Sollux, Nepeta, and Gamzee are the most noticeable with Gamzee freaking out, Kanaya crying, Sollux kneeling on the ground looking very depressed, and Nepeta also on the floor. 2.) After Tavros died, Gamzee was sitting in his wheelchair crying. It's inarguable that Karkat and Tavros are his two best friends, and they are both very low on the hemospectrum. After Tavros dying, Gamzee dies too despite being a Highblood. That means he either killed himself, just left, or got himself killed some other way. 3.) After Nepeta dies, Equius lies on the ground crying. He doesn't ever get up after that until he dies.
Nepeta lived for just over 100 years Equius died about 833 years He mourned her for 700 years That is what moirails are they are the equivalent of blood brothers, and it is devastating to lose them
Gamzee most likely died from sopor slime consumption actually. He says himself it rots your thinkpan (brain) and he has been consuming it for years at this point.
I actually noticed, the order in which they died was by blood rank. Since Karkat's the lowest, he died first, it went up the spectrum from there, until Fef was the only one left, since she's the highest. Still made me cry though :'(
Lolzord Trash I think he actually committed suicide. In some cultures, taking off your shoes symbols that you are leaving your current life and moving to the next. Aka suicide.
I'm angry, 'cause noone remembered about Eridan until the most part of characters died. He came (by himself) to Fef 'cause she was really sad 'bout Sollux, but in fact they FUCKIN' FORGOT ABOUT HIM. All of 'em. I can't suffer quitely about it, they all are fuckin' egomaniacs.
Note how after tavros dies, gamzee disappears as well, but there’s what looks to be a pool of his blood on the floor. That blood doesn’t disappear until the time Gamzee would have actually died. Maybe Gamzee just left after Tavros died.
Oh my gosh I just realized highbloods live longer and feferi being the highest Blood she lived the longest... she'll be alone for a while. Poor feferi. My eyes hurt
Midnight yeah but i think fef was supposed to live even longer like 10000 sweeps or whatever but she killed herself too because she didn't want to be alone
So, Eridan I feel like stays away from everyone because he knows everyone is gonna go, and only stays with fef because she is the only one he ever loved.
This makes you think just how hard it must be for Feferi to be a fuschia blood. No matter what, she's always going to outlive anyone and everyone she loves. It's mighty lonely at the top.
Here's one thing I dont get. When Gamzee ran away Tavros' wheelchair was still there, but when Gamzee's shoe went away (he died). Tavros' wheelchair disappeared too :/
The first time I saw it, I will not lie I watched it many times afterwards. Getting very depressed and cried a few times. Now I have almost no tears for it now .-.
The thing is, Feferi is not just destined to live a very long life due to her caste. She's immortal due to her Life aspect, as well as the Baroness. Neither of them can die from old age. Gamzee probably killed himself, because the Grand Highblood arrived on a meteor about the same time as the Dolorosa and was alive during the revolution led by the Summoner, which was hundreds of sweeps later. Also, Kanaya was later revealed to be never aging too, but I won't pick on it knowing when the comic was made. I'm just... thinking about poor Feferi and how she was probably going to see her entire civilization extinct after billions of sweeps if she won the battle against her ancestor and Sgrub never happened.
Everybody talk about Eq and Nep or Tav and Gam or Fef.... but cAN WE TALK ABOUT ERIDAN?! HE WAS SO LONELY! FEF WAS WITH HIM *ONLY* WHEN SOL DIED. MY PRECIOUS CHILD ToT
Wow, one of the few Sadstuck videos that actually made me emotional. And then I remembered that fuchsiabloods are capable of extending the lives of other trolls XD
The safest part is the tittle, and the idea that the Condess might have been so scared of seeing her lower blood freinds die she started to just hate them and then tried to find a way so she could live forever because she was scared of fef makeing the same mistake she did when she was younger
Oh, it just crossed my mind. Remember how the Baroness prolonged the Ѱiioniic's life with her powers? Her healing powers weren't great because she was post-scratch Meenah, who is a Thief, so she couldn't *give* life, i.e. revive. But Feferi is a Witch, it's entirely different case. Witch and Sylph are creation classes, and a Witch of Life can both prolong others' lives *and* revive them. So.. this sadstuck is not really sad after all, when you think about it. I believe that Feferi would never let any of her friends die.
I'm not going to lie, this really hurts the feels. The first time I watched it I sobbed, and I continued to watch it after and still sob. But good video :3
I'm watching this a couple years after leaving the homestuck fandom , but I just had the thought now. Do you think Feferi wanted Eridan as a morail because she knew he was the only one that would last?
I’m crying so much right now but would Karkat have died first he’s a mutation of lime bloods which were around the middle of the scale or do mutants just die quickly or did he get culled instead of heading to space, anyway it’s nice to think they’ll all be in dream bubbles together at some point
