So in the new update, Caliborn goes on about how Dirk banished his soul into Lil Cal, and how ARquiusprite showed up out of nowhere and ended up getting pulled along for the ride.  And if you notice, HALF OF GAMZEE TOO. This explains so much. Why the game read Scratch’s sudden death as an opportunity to revive him into Lord English. (Caliborn) Why Lord English is so muscular. (Equius) Why Doc Scratch is so shrouded in mystery. (Equius) Why Doc Scratch and Lord English are so vastly intelligent, unlike Caliborn. (AR, a splinter of Dirk’s soul) Why Lord English is so mirthful and angry. (Gamzee) Why Lord English can destroy souls. (AR, a splinter of Dirk’s soul) Lord English even stole his name from Jake English, who in turn got his name from his Grandma Jade English, who in turn stole it from Lord English.  Paradox. It all makes sense now.

what is happening

isn’t this is the first time the dream self and real self were treated as separate individuals? 

Is it because of Terezi’s mind/seer power? Or was it always like this from the start? this bothers me so much

The new upd8 was hella nice, but this slide in particular bothered me a lot when I stopped to think about it

Like, we always knew that people in doomed timelines went to the dreambubbles, right? But these ones are not doomed selves, these are versions of characters who didn’t die in that moment: that John is the one who ascended, those Rose and Roxy were the one who revived when their dreamself were kissed, and so on. 

This means that these people died even though an exact “clone” of them, of their personality and memories until that point, lived on somewhere else - the John that was stabbed on his questbed didn’t survive through ascension, he died and a copy of him went on.

This is some creepy The Prestige level shit, these people got robbed of their existence and their copies are not even aware of it

Daaaaaaaaaamn 

Like I think this is so subtle but really important–all Dave’s life he’s had this high bar set by Bro on what it means to be cool, and it amounted to distance and aloofness and unemotionality. So much of Dave’s esteem and confidence is tied into this notion of coolness 

And Dirk, the alt kid version of his Bro, so easily and casually is just like, “yeah, that type of “cool” is basically meaningless. I can talk to you and relate to you, which is way better”….like it’s a small thing, but I think in terms of Dave letting go of the toxic attitudes of Bro and relating to Dirk in a healthy and individual way, that small gesture is a really important sign of respect and sincerity to Dave’s emotions and personality that Bro never extended
