Oh poo poo! My notifier just pinged, [s] update is up. e:...  WHAT THE gently caress DIRK!? e2: oh god that volcano panel, I'm dying here guys A second [s] page! The awesome continues! e3: And with that I am slain. There is no more reason to go on. Well now I really understand why Dave always felt overshadowed by his Bro. Dirk truly has his poo poo more together than anyone else has ever been capable of to pull that off with apparently zero planning whatsoever.

Two [S] pages, at that. I like how much of the first one consists of Dirk rocketing around doing SWEET TRICKS on the rocketboard. This series of pages comes perilously close to vindicating all the Alpha Kid poo poo but I'm still not convinced it was necessary to have spent quite so much time wallowing in Jake love rectangle bullshit.

Ahaha, excellent. Roxy's grin came close to matching mine, there. e: also, I figured from the title of the first flash that that'd be the song used (Unite Synchronization, from Volume 8). I love that track, it's just the perfect storm of a certain kind of cornball.

 Looks like Squarewave and Sawtooth got left behind at Roxy and Dirk's houses to finish the pre-entry sequence too. There's also a lot of great avatar potential in these sequences.

Dirk is a loving stable time loop master, edit: Interesting to note that Dave couldn't go through with killing himself to go god tier, but Dirk does so with far less hesitation edit2: and it would be interesting to find out why the lantern exploded, given that Roxy's didn't, and Jane's presumably didn't TheDemon fucked around with this message at 19:58 on Jul 9, 2012 |

So besides the big happenings of this update, we learned that Meenah is the kind of person who will put off adjusting to the afterlife to give out high-fives to complete strangers if they are doing something cool. But now, we have to worry about whether Squarewave will be able to complete Roxy's entry.

Bongo Bill posted:Okay, time to think now. What was with the firefly inside of the orange lamp? Especially significant in light of the presence of Serenity. Thinking about it, the firefly is the reason the lamp glowed even while Dirk was incapacitated/dead. Still don't know the why of why it's inside, but that explains the faint glow mechanically. Bongo Bill posted:That's a pretty elementary loop, all things considered. It just seemed more masterful because of the way everything he does is impossibly cool. It's a simple loop if you just look at the kiss -> bucket sequence, but keep in mind Dirk executes this while resurrecting Roxy and Jane who were in different universes, counting on Jake to resurrect himself (or else it wouldn't have worked), counting on the time capsule to exit him at the right time (if something else had been in there, he would have come out later) and without any time travel powers. edit: And now all of them are going to end up in Jake's land, which should be interesting come Act 6 Act 4 TheDemon fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Jul 9, 2012 |

It would have been funnier if Hussie had just left us with Dirk: Synchronize for a few hours, letting us wonder why in the holy mother of hell Dirk just lopped his own head off with a Sendificator.

You see? This is why we had to spend so much time with everyone mooning over Jake. This right here. Roxy and Jane standing behind dream Dirk and watching in uncomprehending horror as Jake makes out with waking Dirk's severed head, with a volcano erupting in the background. This is why I read Homestuck.

The Fucky posted:I'm trememndously scared of where this Lil Hal thing is gonna go. "I can't let you do that," followed by drawing it out while we wait to see whether he goes for the obvious finisher, at which point the wait itself becomes the joke. Layers of irony. The best possible outcome will be Dave turning the whole situation around. I don't know why I used spoiler tags for any of that.

I was just looking up an appropriate clip when you beat me to it. Not sure how Red Dwarf watchers and Homestuck readers intersect - probably more here than on tumblr. Come to think of it, the two references the Autoresponder makes are both addressed to a Dave - "I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that", and "Everybody's dead, Dave".
