Homestuck Re-read Part 45: A6I3.
Right now I am currently about to pop a blood vessel out of stress because of trying to wrangle twitter to delete a bunch of tweets for my owner and it is. Making me feel like my brain is going to swell and force itself out of every fucking leak in my skull.

We're now back with Terezi and brain!dirk in the dream bubble. He's having a personal space issue / being sniffed issue with Terezi before suddenly becoming dream dirk? He's a lot more visible to everyone now and starts making an introduction.
So, dream Dirk got knocked out and since Dirk is got the whole heart thing going on, he is now also present in the dream bubble? Yeah that tracks somehow I guess. Dave doesn't look super happy about this situation. He's gonna peace out of here and take Roxy with. He can't seam to leave though so he just ejects Roxy. The meteor moves on past the bubble and it looks like Aranea is gonna help Dirk wake up?
Calliope is getting herself ready to sleep around this time it seems.
[S] Dirk: Synchronize.
Ok I remember this one being pretty cool. Dirk is getting all of his shit together and manages to save Roxy's life by -
Oh I forgot this ends with him, decapitating himself with an sendificator.
Genuinely did not remember that. Or why he did that either. Definitely didn't seem like a good idea.
Maybe it's supposed to be like in the god father. Like maybe Jake will wake up and have this experience.
Bro-bot throws a bucket of water on his head to wake him up to see it right away.
OH, OF COURSE
It's so Jake has to kiss him. Jake seemingly doesn't want to kiss the decapitated head of one of his best buddies and keeps getting hung up on the details of how kissing a severed head from the future will help anything. He also starts accusing the auto responder of setting this up, to which the autoresponder gets offended and requests to not be called that anymore, instead wanting to be called Lil Hal. Hal claims he isn't responsible because he is not
The Deep Blue of Weird Plot Shit.
GT: Little hal... i think youve gone and flipped your FUDGING LID.
GT: Oh and hal is a STUPID NAME!!!!
TT: It's not exactly apropos, is it?
TT: Or it wouldn't be, if I truly were capable of what you have suggested.
TT: No, to pull that off, I would have to be far more advanced than my cinematic predecessor.
TT: My abilities would have to go well beyond those of Mr. Hal 9000.
TT: They would have to be, you could say...
TT: Over 9000.
Jake needs to kiss Dirk because everyone else is dead is definitely an opener to a relationship.
TT: Our love will be your haunting refrain.
GT: Whoa wait whoa whoa... our LOVE? Hang on a minute!
TT: Stfu and kiss me.
We get a rather epic panel of him locking lips with a desecrated corpse. The lantern glows so hot it breaks.
[S] Dirk: Unite
Dirk gets up, throws Roxy off of Jane's body so he can kiss her and then jets off with Roxy to the frog temple, placing themselves in stasis to later emerge on Jake's island. Jane is alive again and transportalizes to the temple as well. They all fly off to Jake's house, grabbing a bucket of water along the way. Oh it wasn't brobot that threw water on Jake earlier, I genuinely forgot he was already dead. It was dream Dirk! Everyone stands around looking kinda aghast at the fact Jake kissed a corpse.
Dirk's robots get his and Roxy's homes into the medium. Meanwhile they get Jake in as a group.
We are then treated to
[S] Caliborn: Enter.
Calliope went to sleep and wakes up as Caliborn. That nightmarish flashing coffin throwing itself through paradox space until it hits a heavily populated dream bubble.
Caliborn unshackles himself chews off his other leg, freeing himself from what constraints Calliope and Gamzee were able to hold on him.
Lord English shatters the dream bubble, vaporizing seemingly hundreds of ghosts and damaging paradox space itself.
Caliborn leaves his home and begins preparing to enter the medium. Dave looks up from the meteor and sees the impact the destruction of a dream bubble leaves on paradox space itself.
Entering a single play sburb session seems to result in the kernel sprite becoming a black hole, sucking in the whole planet it was instantiated on.
The shattering of a dream bubble seems to injur the horror terrors, and the enormity of it's impact even brings the hunt between the Parcel Mistress and Bec Noir to a temporary halt.
ACT 6 INTERMISSION 3
Meenah quest! We can watch Andrew Hussie commit suicide seemingly! That was unexpected! Aradia is here! She seems to think Meenah has "big plans" that are of interest to people interested in preserving the dream bubbles.
We move on down and find Hussie crying in a crater surrounded by 8 balls asking about a horse. Nearby a chest contains Caliborn's lost tooth.
Aranea is here! Meenah explains that her plan is to round up a shit ton of ghosts and beat Lord English up, basically. Meenah think it's not a great plan and has her own idea, but doesn't share. She mentions something about a "secret weapon" she's tracking, and by "secret weapon" she means Calliope's ghost.
Rose is here! Meenah seems to know who Rose is. Rose seems a lot more interested in Meenah though, and asks about something she found during her self imposed lunar exile. Meenah doesn't answer and just calls her "human windfang" and later "rosefang."
Kanaya is here too! The conversation seems to be going about as well as with Rose. Kanaya can't seem to work up the nerve to talk to her ancestor Porrim. Meenah does think Kanaya and Rose are cute together, which is nice.
Dave! / "Human what's his cape!" They talk about Karkat a bit, who seems to be hanging out with his ancestor. It doesn't seem to be going well though. Dave gives us a bit about looking up to your ancestor and stuff that if I was feeling a bit better I would probably write something about with being a coming of age bit. Dave also seems to be somewhat responsible for the fact the dream bubbles have social media?
Karkat is locked in dialog with Kankiri and I am not reading that it's giving me a headache how is a 6/9 b/q qurik that hard to read.
While looking through chests we find one of Scratch's magic cue balls. Unsettling.
Latula! The game girl is here! She seems to be together with Sollux's ancestor.
Porrim! She's cool. I'm so fucking tired and this walkabout seems like it's dragging on forever. Meenah godtiered and just threw away the clothes. We can also be Porrim and dream up some stairs
we were latula for a little bit and then kankiri then meenah again and now we're getting karkat to open a door to his personal memories. the password to the door is the same one jade gave him for a conversation in the past
IF I HATE MYSELF SO MUCH, THEN WHY DON'T I HATEMARRY MYSELF!!!!
And when explaining it he looks all sad and says it reminds him of an old friend. Awww :(
Poor Karkat.
We go through the door but he just vanishes?
I just accidentally changed onto a different panel and I am not going through all that again I'm just fucking looking up the ending on youtube. It seems to just be the Peanuts bit where Aranea has an exposition stand.
I love Aranea so much.
Oh fucking god theres more walkabout on the next page??? Jesus FUCK.
MAYBE NOT ACTUALLY?
It looks like we're gonna catch up with John again instead? Anyway I had something to eat and theres a pleasant coffee smell in my home atm so I feel a lot less upset and miffed now.
EVERYBODY GIVE IT UP FOR YEAR 2!!
The battleship is begining to look like a bit of a state. We also get to see how tall everyone's houses were by the time of the scratch. They were fucking massive! There seems to be a party at John's house. He, Jade, Jaspersprite and some Salamanders and Imps are watching some Bruce Willis stuff.
Jade appears to be hovering a piece of cake and looking happy! John comes to an unsettling revelation. He hates con air. John is growing up and his taste in movies is changing. He used to love Con Air and take the movie seriously but now he just doesn't seem to be able too anymore. I think it might also be a bit of the Seinfeld Is Unfunny kinda thing, where it inspired a lot of tropes that are later copied by other things and now he hates it because of how much it inspired things. I've not watched Con Air so I don't know.
It looks like things have been tense between John and Jade recently. Probably something to do with whatever was going on with her and Davesprite (who isn't here at all) last intermission. Jade brings up that John keeps calling him Dave Sprite and not Davesprite Davesprite broke up with Jade. She looks so sad which, probably isn't going to help the fact John is about to fucking go insane. Like, fully insane.
It is incredibly tragic seeing their friendships deteriorate like this. Especially when John starts to blame Jade for how long it's taking. He isn't interested in doing things she wants to do either and it's just. Upsetting to see.
Davesprite doesn't seem to be helping things. John wants fucking vengeance. We do get a really good line though.
JOHN: STOP VAGUELY WATERMARKING THE SKY WITH YOUR SMUG DOUCHEY FACE THIS INSTANT AND FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN!!!
John has such a strong reaction to all of this, he passes the fuck out.
That is the end of this upd8. Thank you for reading everyone.
