Second time I watched the flash, I was looking real hard to see if I could spot any of the Exiles' B2 versions in any of the crowd shots. But most of these carapace people look so drat interchangeable it's hard to tell. vvv: See, I thought so too, except there is another Dersite dude right there who looks exactly the same.

He's the one with the exclamation mark over his head when Droog walks by.

there was a quarter second there where I thought Jake had killed Robodirk by stomping the shades, then I remembered it was a different pair of shades, but for a moment I thought I'd seen the death of my favourite B2 character. EDIT: I'm kind of wondering if Diamonds Droog is ever going to rise to the level of being more than "the guy I always mistake for Spades Slick for a second"

You can tell them apart by seeing whether or not they're currently dying like a chump. If they are, they're Droog and not Slick.

Wow, that was outstanding, I really wasn't expecting an update today! I hope we're back to regular updates again, it's been a long week. And is it just me, or has he really been improving in his flash-making skills? Like ever since the End of Intermission flash they've all been outstanding. I guess he learned a lot while making EoA5. And he's been making so many lately, too. Hussie, you're too good to us

Oh good, something happened. Several somethings. I only asked for the one something, so a couple of other somethings was very generous. Hopefully this flash means we won't have to deal with much more of shipping misadventures inadvertently caused by Jake English, Devourer of Romance.

From looking at his face and the slow walking, I get the feeling that DD wasn't really that into the whole "Murder the Dreamselves" plan until he saw HB's head and Dirk's note. But now Dirk killed one of his allies and then taunted him. So poo poo is most definitely on.

This is my favorite update since Dave's original two strifes. As such, I went a bit further with my usual avatar creation and actually created frames that didn't exist just to complete the joke. Here! Have more gifs (One of these I messed up earlier and fixed later, both available for your pleasure):        And some non-gifs:     And fun non-avatar things:

Please please please for one time in your multiple alternate selves' timelines DD don't go out like a chump. I'm not even asking you to kill dream Dirk here, but he's getting a little too big for his britches, just slap some sense into him and make him run away or something, you're allowed to die later

They seemed to be alive long enough to mess around with the exile terminals until the very end of Sgrub (Droog and Aradia). Then, the next time the MC appears, it's just Slick. I remember reading somewhere that the rest of them "died" when Slick was teleported into another timeline where they were dead during the Intermission, but my knowledge of the Intermission is fuzzy at best.

Slick used Crowbar's...crowbar to destroy the safe, which launched Slick into a timeline where everyone was dead but Slick, Snowman, Lord English, and (though he didn't know about him at the time) Doc Scratch.

All we ever got was the "highly unfavorable timeline" post-crowbar bit you were alluding to, from this page. No information on how they got killed during that timeline. (Well, possibly CD might have died when Sollux blew up his terminal.)

The talk about the Intermission just made me think of something. What if Spades Slick is actually the Jack Noir from the pre-scratch troll session and using the crowbar tossed him into the post scratch Alternia timeline? Guess that would open up some plot holes about why he recognizes Karkat at the exile terminal, but Karkat and his ancestor look pretty similar so I dunno.

I assume Pre-Scratch Alternia Jack Noir was annihilated in the Scratch, and there is really no reason to think otherwise. If he was somehow tossed into Post-Scratch Alternia, what happened to the Jack Noir/Spades Slick who was already there? I mean, we know he was exiled and built Midnight City, there's not a lot of incentive to think a doppelgänger's involved.

The reason why he recognized Karkat is because he's the Jack Noir that approached Karkat about exiling the Black Queen in the first place. That's why Slick seems to get pissed when he's watching that because he didn't say anything derogatory about Karkat freaking out while watching Feferi reviving Sollux at the time, but wishes he did so at the time while watching that event from the terminal.

DaveKap posted:I think it's the fact that there was no fan art in it, at all. It was a pure Hussie animation. To be honest, I think I subconsciously recognized this and it was a part of why I loved this update so much more than usual. Although it's just a guess that there's no fan art, I can't spot anything that isn't Hussie's style. The closest I could figure is someone may have helped with the sprites for animating (there's a LOT more frames of sprite animation than usual) but since that conforms to the sprite style, it's not really possible to know if it was someone other than Andrew who made them. It's not the first time -- the Spades Slick stuffing scotty dogs into his hat animation had a lot more frames in it than normal too, and it wasn't even a flash. I just think it's a Thing that happens when the dersite agents are involved.

Well, there's no credits entry for it in the art team section, so this is probably true. Unless he just hasn't updated it yet. Edit: In fact, has there been a flash in Act 6 that the art team contributed to? Besides the dialog sprites in the rap off flash.

I have to say, all of these kids are great...except for Jane. Jake is hilarious (*whips out double pistols* *wink*), Dirk has shown to be just full of interesting drama and of course remains the most badass Strider, and Roxy is both endearing and hysterical. But Jane! Jane you are so boring.
