Silva posted:So how does Dirk expect himself to fix everything? He can't corpsesmootch neither Roxy nor Jane, so the chain won't ever be completed. They're screwed no matter which way you put it. Wake his dreamself up, corpsesmooch Jane while his real self wakes up, jumps through Roxy's pane that GCat dumped in his room, goes to Roxy's, corpsesmooches her.

I don't think he's going to be able to just walk/float/dematerialize away. There's too many strong personalities around him.

I don't think he knows that Roxy died? He just saw Jane get waxed before he passed out.

This is superinformed Mind Dirk, remember, not just normal Dirk. Mind Dirk knows poo poo there's no way he should know, and is places that don't make sense, and just graduated from a figment of someone's imagination to a real boy. I don't think we can say with any certainty what he does or does not know.

I want to know how he plans on leaving the dream-bubble and getting back to Derse or wherever it is. How the gently caress is he going to accomplish that?

I guess by waking up. There's a god-tier Seer of Light right there, though. Maybe she can help if waking up is a non-starter. Somebody's gonna tell him to wait. The only question is who.

I don't know why everyone is convinced that Roxy died. Why are you listening to an unreliable narrator? The fact that Roxy can't get into the game if her real self dies at this point is pretty strong evidence that she's not dead!

Same way Aranea woke Jake up, by smacking him really hard. Or by using her mind control powers. Come on guys, there are precedents here.

Dave's expression in that last panel is priceless. It just so utterly captures the hangups he has about seeing his bro, especially as someone about his own age.

The best face. Seriously, though, it seems a little dumb to drag dreamRoxy back to Derse, since, you know, the whole Miles thing is still a thing. ...is Dirk going to have two Dreamselves now, or did the other one disappear?

KoB posted:If they can just fly back, why dont the kids and troll follow them? Because they're actually on the meteor. Presumably when Dirk hits the border of the dream bubble, he'll just wake up. Or maybe it'll be another loving splinter of Dirk floating around.

If the meteor is already heading toward the session at nearly the speed of light, how are Dirk and Roxy able to outrun it and get back two years (kind of??) before the others arrive too? Augh confusing. Also beaten kind of.

Probably by exploiting non-linear space. This is partly speculation, but I figure that since the meteor is coasting on the boost from Aradia and Sollux, it can only travel in a "straight line" (whatever that means in the tenth dimension). Meanwhile, Dirk and Roxy can take a "shortcut" back, which is probably how Roxy sleepfloated there to begin with.

It's going to be a fun ride while he deals with what just happened and his viewing of his brother as a super-human, even at his age. We may yet see a breakdown beyond this.

Breakdown's become a bit of a contested term in Homestuck discussion I've seen, but certainly this adds fuel to the fire when it comes to their brotherly relationship. At this point Dave's still fourteen so sixteen-year-old Dirk still appears to be older than him, even though he's much younger than Dave probably remembers. Hey, hold on, how old was Bro supposed to be when Dave arrived in B1? When we saw Dave's meteor land Bro had basically the same sprite model as he had thirteen years later at the start of the story. If Bro had been sixteen then he'd surely have used the same sprite appearance as Dirk, but if he's much older than sixteen then throw on thirteen more years how did Dave ever manage to think of him as an older brother when he was old enough to be his father? This is likely 100% irrelevant.
