I love how on a subconscious level Jake understands that the fuck happened with Jane, but it required the representation of Ghost!Dirk to actually explain it to him.

An apt reaction when finding out the person you were crushing on has been dead. Questioning exclamations.

I think your subconscious is trying to tell you something Jake. And that something is love.

Listen, there re just some things that I never even want to acknowledge ever in the history of my life. That they should be buried in the deepest parts of my mind and never be shown to the light of day.

Ghost-Dirk does have a point. This is more/less like imagining scenarios in your head. Just more heavily interactive.

Well that isn’t ominous and threatening at all.

If you are his brain, you would already know the answer. Unless you just want Jake to come to his very slow conclusions himself.

Look, if anyone would have chosen to be a ghost just for the sake of irony, it would totally be Dirk. Ironic Force-Ghost.

Prince of Heart, causes destruction to the soul, or with the soul.

So Dirk just, horecruxed himself to fuel his other versions with his own being then.

I was right in treating Kyle like his own person! He is Dirk!

Yeah, there is a slight smugness in the fake dirks, and if that is the constants of all the fake dirks, then eventually Jake will find the real Dirk. Or at least, the physical one.

Part 232

So Jake is the Page of Hope. And if the “x using y, does x to y” thing that Alpha-Jegus said, he has potential using hope, and gives potential to hope? Don’t know what the other half could mean, but whatever.

Let’s see if Jake will eventually wake up and not die.

K, Ghost!Dirk, Jedi-Force!Dirk. Starting a Dirk-Collection here in this comic.

Part 231 End

So Jake is not dead and this entire flashback was just a dream.

Alpha-Dirk and Rose fucking kick ass and I absolutely love them to bits, even if they did die.

I get the feeling that Alpha-Rose made God-Cat, but I don’t know how or why. I just to.

God-Cat is able to teleport through time, and that is concerning.

The world that Queen Feferi made was horrible. Rose still had dark occult god powers. Hussie hates Fieri.

Jake is the Page of Hope. Seeing how Tavros was a page too, than means they both had “untapped potential.” And with Hope, it could make Jake the most positive person in the world. But I am also afraid for the other reverse effect if he will like, eat hope or something. I hope not, but that turned off lantern makes me uneasy.

And Finally, a NEW THEORY for Alpha and Anti Jegus. Now I believe that they are one person. It is Karkat’s own ancestor, but they have a split personality. One helpful speaking with capital U’s, one speaking harm with only lowercase u’s. I have no idea how this will work when they start playing the game, but I can’t wait to see how that works. It also helps with there being 12 trolls instead of 13.

Page of Hope? I thought he was Page of Doom. So there might still be hope yet?

Hopefully.

Jake is basically confused and ranting inside his own head. Like honestly, same.

Good, shut down someone’s bullshit before they even start. That’s the ticket.

Jake is just trying to reach out to the physical Dirk, is that so much to ask?

It’s just a dream Jake. Just keep chanting that in your head.

Dream Dirk, Real Dirk, Computer Dirk, Other-Dream Dirk. So many Dirks in this dimension.

ok, ok makes sense. so Jake is just alone by himself and his thoughts, with a terezi tree reaching towards him.

So that isn’t Dirk, it’s….himself? Is Jake talking to himself??
