jesus, was Hussie reading this thread earlier or something?

>ARANEA: Anyway, I think this tedious tale has gone on for entirely too long already!

Amen

>>65775
>>65776

Man, you guys always think everything is about you.

>>65784
well, you know this isn't the first time Hussie has called out his readers

>JAKE: (Yes i do thats what you do when you go back in time and find hitler.)
>JAKE: (Thats like one of the rules of adventure if you have the chance to kill hitler and stop his crimes from happening then you do it!)

I think Hussie might have been comparing notes with Randall Munroe today.

He clearly does not understand the concept of stable time loops or dream bubbles or the scratch universes

Jake is the biggest derp. His subconsciousness agrees.

>>65788
--ness*

I really hope terizi interacts with mind dirk

>>65790
Seer of Mind sees mind people? Like it.

Jake, actually DOING something? oh my goodness.

I think I'm going to take a break for a while, then start over at the post scratch.

Ahaha, comedy gold.

You can't really fault Jake, I mean Aranea did directly say YOU GROW UP TO BE SEA HITLER AND WIPE HUMANITY, dude still thinks Jade is actually his grandma, how would he understand the concept of The Scratch if no one explains it to him?

>>65796
>DIRK: You didn't go back in time, Jake. Do you even understand what's going on?
Except mind!Dirk, who basically is his subconscious, seems to know what's up. Which means that Jake understands what's going on too, at least on some level.

>>65797
Im seriously hoping mind!Dirk actually has the control he was talking about. A Jake boner would be the best way to stop this from being Jake/Meenah getting killed again.

To be fair, Meenah/Empress kind of really IS Fish Hitler.

>>65799
Meenah isn't the Condescence though.

why is it so hot on the meteor?
because gamzee broke the AC

>>65797
Well Jake is pretty implusive just like his Grandma/Daughter/whatever and Meenah seems like the easiest target to take out his frustrations on what happened to his homeworld and people.

>>65787
>>65796
>>65797

Jake is about as new to all this as a someone who would have hypothetically only started reading Homestuck at Act 6. He probably doesn't even know that the SBURB session makes a separate little pocket universe for the players.

Well, except that he had a ton of off screen exposition from Aranea that we missed )':, during which he was completely distracted by her hot blue-spideriness. Basically if any part of him actually paid attention to that story and gained knowledge from it it was Dirk's Mind Splinter, AKA part of his subconscious. That's why even here, Mind-Ghost-Dirk (need a better notation than this...) is on top of things while Jake is the perfect derp.

Bets on how this Jake vs Meenah Scrum goes down?

>>65803

I'm going to bet Jake dies. We'll be up to our necks in dead Jakes.

>>65803
gets broken up before anything serious happens, with meenah on her butt with a tiny <33333333333<

>>65805
>teen condescence has the hots for English
The irony is palpable.

I don't think he can die in a dream bubble, can he?

>>65807
Almost certainly not. We've seen Dave and John get dreamstabbed, and all it did was wake them up.
Well, I guess we technically don't know what it did to John, but Dave definitely woke up.

Right now, we have three kinds of dreambubble presences interacting. We have Jake, who's dreaming and should therefore just wake up when killed, we have Roxy, Dave, Rose, WV and the A2 trolls, who are physically in the bubbles and can probably die, and we have the A1 trolls. No idea what happens if they are killed.

I hope they wrestle and Meenah comes on top.

That'd be hot.

>>65809
While fruity rumpus meteor town is certainly physically passing through the bubble, the people on it can opt in or out of the bubble by going to sleep or remaining awake. Karkat may have woken himself up when he chose to get the hell out of there.

Jake just suckered punched a ghost and Meenah's enjoying him roughing her up! Guess she's the little masochist.

>>65790
>>65792
Yoooou called it!

>>65790
>>65792
You guys

Can't stop laughing. What's up with aggressive and overbearing troll girls getting off on being smacked around?

Meenah is having the time of her life.
OOF<3

What's up with Pages charging Thieves?

You know. This is probably the closest thing to what trolls consider hatesex.

>>65824
>>65825
Not only can she bask in the glory of her alternate self's raucous life story, but she even gets laid! Pretty good day to be a ghost.

Well the Condescence probably always wanted to have hatesex with Lord English anyway.
This is the closest thing to that.

>>65790
Wish granted. ;)

What's up with Terezi being so gloom.

>>65839
She's probably bummed out because the internet friends she's spent all this time convincing about how cool all of them are found out they're just as lame as they are in real life.

Seriously, was anyone else a bit bummed when we found out Dave and Rose aren't nearly as badass as we thought they were "online"? Rose talks like a normal girl instead of some 9th level literary prodigy and Dave sounds almost like an idiot.

>>65841
It's been a year on that meteor. It's unlikely she's still in a crisis over how uncool they are. I'm guessing she's mostly just fed up with Karkat being a ridiculous idiot and Dave humouring him.

Rose dropped most of the walking dictionary act when she started to investigate the Green Sun. Right now, she's in a healthy middle between her early pesterlogs and the impatient quick chats she had to rely on before going grimdark. Most of all, she seems happy and relaxed.

As for Dave, him speaking more normally just shows that he, to some extent, is outgrowing the ridiculous hipster phase lingo. Which is a good thing, since not wrapping every question in lengthy pop cultural metaphors and instead being at least slightly more open about his feelings points towards character development.

Both Rose and Dave's development is about how they have to become more idealistic, get in touch with their emotions and place trust their friends. Most of that "cool" behaviour was just their shields, and it's only natural that some of those layers would be peeled away eventually.

>>65841
>>65846
Also, read that sweet Rose dictionary spewing, she's not lost her ability to use all those lengthy words.

>>65846
Terezi was talking about how they're not as cool as she tries to convince everyone, literally just minutes ago from where we are now.

I'm not saying Rose and Dave's change is a bad thing, just a bit disappointing at first. It's now kind of endearing, actually. But I disagree that it's only to show a marked difference between how they were then and now, I think Andrew's point with that (and Terezi trying to act cool and failing) is to show that nobody is as put-together and "with it" as they seem online. When Dave and Rose are online, they can cherry pick their words and come off as badass sounding, instead of looking like the awkward teenagers they really are when dealing with others in realtime. It's a very nice touch.

Allow me to be the first to say

What the shit

So apparently she just likes the idea of being the batterwitch so much she doesn't notice getting clocked in the face by a snappy young man of action?

>DIRK: God my existence is weird.

Took the words out of my mouth Mind-Dirk. I'm assuming this is part of his strange Heart elemental power or Jake's power the Page to make the impossible possible?

>>65853
I'd probably say more Dirk what with his previous juggling of multiple selves and the vague power of "destroying souls/hearts" makes me think that he's shattered his soul into all these pieces.

Wait, Meenah is bleeding.
But she's dead. What DOES THIS EVEN MEAAAN?

I find it really hard to believe she was in a stupor over how cool she sort-of-but-not-actually turns out to be, because of this panel: http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006905

Showing that she goes from clasping her hands to being surprised by Jake's pounce attack.

>>65856
An ego trip, maybe? Jake kept going on about what the condesce did, msybe he kept going, but it just didn't show up in the log out if mercy. I would be a little impressed if my post-scratch version was so (from the perspective of a stab-happy see-witch) awesome that a person attacks me based on what the post-scratch version did. Im not entirely sure if she knows that jake is sort of clueless on how the whole thing works. Also does Terezi have a dirk-mind-splinter now, too?

maybe dirk is projected in whenever someone thinks about him
so when jake was examining dirk's existence during his dream bubble, dirk's heart powers projected a little of the real dirk into the figment, and that's what's keeping holo-dirk around
