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.

Baiyan, God of Joy, by GryffonDurime, while the C.U.T.E Scardycat and Dreamer are by Tomb Raven.
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.

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.
GT: Just seeing if you had heard from him yet.
GT: I would really like to speak with him today.
GT: You know like actually in person instead of through his aggravating liaison who is so far up his own ass with this hal 9000 schtick its ridonkulous.
TT: I have decided on a new name, to distinguish myself from my human counterpart.
GT: Really.
GT: What is it?
TT: Lil Hal.
GT: Huh?
GT: Why that name...
TT: Just a reference to the protagonist of an ancient movie. You probably wouldn't like it.
GT: Thats a lie!
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.)

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.
