Um. Wow.

OK, let me see if I've got this straight.

1. Brain Ghost Dirk lives in Jake's subconscious and is arbitrarily knowledgeable about all sorts of stuff because "pages have lots of untapped potential".
2. Jake dreams, transporting Brain Ghost Dirk to a dreambubble in the process.
3. This version of Dirk gets left behind in the dreambubble when Jake wakes up. Somehow. (You'd think that he could just be part of the dreamscape, which is formed from stuff from the dreamers' minds, but then why can only Terezi see him?)
4. Dream Dirk falls asleep, sending his mind to the dreambubble where he joins up with Brain Ghost Dirk. Again, somehow. Probably Heart powers.

...and that's how Dirk knew to do all of that?

Because if that's not it, I'm lost on how the hell Dirk knew to do all of that.

I think the Prince of Heart's main power is the power to be in more places at once.

If you think about it like that, the fake ghost phantom Dirk becoming a real dream Dirk starts to make a bit more sense. A bit.

Hal's not from Red Dwarf, he's from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Prince of Hearts also translates to "Destroyer of Souls", which can either mean that souls are his target (the way Eridan specialized in destroying hope) or his weapon. Dirk is a master of the latter, fragmenting himself a thousand different ways so that he can properly multitask.

The fact that he's naturally suited to this kind of gambit is not really surprising, as Dave discovered he was naturally suited to time shenanigans as the Knight of Time. Kanaya was pretty clear that the title was related to the competence, though exactly how is less clear (is he the knight because he has the skill or does he have the skill because he's the knight?).

Roxy has to be my favorite part of these updates, however. As upset as she was about her failure to save Jane, the sheer terrified joy of riding the rocket board dominates the scene - and the fact that Roxy has the most endearing expressions in Homestuck to date (even when she was a featureless guardian, in a way) make her even more fun to watch.

He was referring to "Everybody's Dead Dave Jake" , which is from Red Dwarf.

Aniway, you were thinking in the middle of that for real? I was just like being awed

Yeah, Dirk is being awesome. As a good friend of mine put it "This is Bro. This is Strider!"

But now, what's their plan?

Yeah, they are on an island with an erupting volcano with two viable ways of leaving.

So basically the cheater IDE was that, since all the characters introduced before Cascade were Suckers, then the new characters will cheat. Because Doc Scratch said that suckers are born every tick of the clock, but cheaters are also born in the tock betwixt.

Yeah, AFAIK Dave never even made out with a Time Clone (in canon) which means non-Troll time clone pairings are not permitted.

It's the only explanation. After all, Dave is a handsome devil

That would probably would have been some sort of weird incest Guy (does sleeping with your temporal duplicate count?).

I'm stupid, I just realized that Dirk left the robots at their houses. They can still bring it into the Medium for them.

Also that the lanters on Jane's land are somehow powered by fireflies. I wonder what it means that Dirk's was so bright it exploded.

Seems the auto responder didn't get the true meaning of Jake's question, since Jake does know the reference in question pretty well. Plus, can you imagine a sci-fi movie left unseen by Jake?

(Of course, it's still funny that from Lil Hal's point of view, HAL 9000 was the protagonist of the story.)

To be fair, Jake was probably a bit too busy freaking out about holding his best friend's severed head in his hands to figure out the movie reference.

He probably saw it, thought it was the best thing ever, then forgot about it Amid the thousand other "best Movies Ever" out there.

You can go to the skaianet imageboard and look up the tag animestuck. There's also a tumblr thehomestuckanime.tumblr.com.
Maybe check out soundcloud for some snippets of voice acting attempts.
