I was looking forward to Dave meeting Davesprite too. As far as Dave is still aware, Davesprite is dead.

The only happy ending I can imagine at this point for Davesprite is his timeline's Jade is hiding out in the dreambubbles and they could yet meet. Otherwise he's going to keep feeling alone and not as real as "real Dave".

Bad news: I don't think that Jade exists. When the beta timelines offshoot it only encompasses the people in the universe or incipishpere that was offshot. That's why they didn't hear back from Jade after John flew off into the sky like the chump he was, because she was in Universe B1 and not the B1 Medium and thus could only connect to her Medium in the Alpha Timeline.

On the other hand I always turn out wrong about things like this so who knows.

Only one of those things is true; John mentioned Davesprite in his bucket letter (plus Rose no doubt had awareness of Davesprite that she'd have no reason to keep from Dave) and PM doesn't know what happened to WV beyond having shoved him through her Green Sun portal.

I don't think Davesprite has ever really been not depressed and passive aggressive. Probably stems from being a doomed Dave.

Then replace "thinks he's dead" with "doesn't know he's alive" I suppose. While I'm sure she dumped the mayor's corpse on the meteor in the hopes that they'd be able to bring him back, she almost certainly has no inkling of how that could be possible.

This comic makes a good case for Doc Scratch being Ray, if only by virtue of them both being The Richest Person.

I'd never save you in a million years
Davesprite is super depressing to me because I still kind of consider him the original, canon Dave.

Like there's this episode of Star Trek where Irish rear end in a top hat O'Brian is hopping forward in time. And eventually he's dying from it and tells his future self "who loving cares, you go back instead of me."

He does, and poo poo works out. But that doesn't change the fact that original O'Brian is a dead motherfucker, and future O'Brian is a motherfucker with an erased doomed timeline family. That's basically the Davesprite story IMO.

I really hope we don't get a callback to Dave's original sword launch slaughter of birdsprites bird side, basically.

I keep thinking that Hussie will just pull a fast one and it turns out that Davesprite is the real Dave while the other Dave is doomed, since there's this expectation of Dave being one of the ones to defeat Lord English. Course, that possibility also sounds too predictable so I just assume it'll be something completely different. That and real Dave dying is equally depressing given that last talk with Karkat.

I agree with your first sentence, but for a different reason. When John flew off to obey Terezi and ended up dying, the Trolls lost all contact with them, and terezi didn't even suspect that a beta-timeline version would exist at that point (I think she said she was just loving with him because she knew he wouldn't do it from looking into the future on her Trollian client). I think the session in a beta timeline is totally severed from any other universes, not just the Troll-verse. There's no beta-Jade from that timeline because she is just plain old regular Jade, and when the timeline splintered off, she just lost contact and the others just figured she got blowed up by a meteor impact.

Actually that kinda makes sense, since the incipisphere and universe are as separate as 2 universes are from each other.

On a side note, I wonder how Dirk's gonna react to seeing his Bro reincarnated as a literal guardian angel.

Interesting. The current planet would obviously be Fin (since it's orange) meaning the next planet, where Caliborn finds Die, is green. It's visible up at the top of the panel there, and it looks an awful lot like Scratch's moon...

Then again Caliborn is apparently destroying these planets for some reason, so who knows.

Well, they're like billiard balls, right? Destroying them is just sinking them in this cosmic game of pool.

Hey wait a minute, I thought the only reason Caliborn stopped doing his quirk was because the capslock on the terminal was locked. Why isn't he doing it now?

Man I feel like a terrible fan. I didn't care at all about Davesprite's goodbye to John, but here I am rereading the one page update on Caliborn collecting Felt and laughing my rear end off. I just want to see how he's going to react to Eggs and Biscuits duplicating themselves repeatedly, only to unlock the last two useful Felt members afterward.

And the idea about the cosmic game of pool makes sense. That means Caliborn will skip the 8th planet and leave it to the end. I'm still betting on the 8th planet holding Doc Scratch, or at the least his original instance.

During the first intermission that we see him in the session, he tells Hussie that he was planning to use capslock all along because he wanted to assimilate Calliope's quirk into his own.
