And the Truth comes Out! Oh, every group needs one self-hating party member. Karkat was one. Dirk is another.

Maybe, maybe not. I agree that Hal needs a body. But he isn’t an exact copy of Dirk because of different experiences. I mean, look at Aranea and Mindfang!

But it is enough to get under Dirk’s skin.

Ha, a TMNT joke. Never thought I would actually see one in this comic.

Damn. Dirk wanted to take his anger out on someone, only for that someone to say they are the same, meaning he is angry at himself? What a conundrum.

Ok. So he did write some desperate messages. That’s a yikes. And that also casts doubt on if Hal was pretending to be Dirk back at the beginning of Act 6.5. Which is a double yikes.

Then give him the fucking body! He is only passive aggressive because you aren’t giving him the ONE THING he wants. Hell, I don’t think you even built him a robot body out of consideration.

Is Hal going to bait Dirk to throwing him in the sprite to see whether or not he will look like Dirk?

Love how he puts “your romantic misfortunes” like he didn’t have a hand in it. But I am still on the “give Hal a body” camp.

Rose by any other name Hal.

And Look At THIS! The truth comes out.

Oh Shit. Damn son, Hal is Gooooooooood.

Dirk knew about the party, and expected to see Jake there. But “Dirk” Contacted him about going camping for the weekend. That was Hal. Hal was purposefully putting stress on the relationship since day one of Dirk realizing he wanted a relationship.

He didn’t choose the name “Hal” for nothing.

Yeah, I agree with that. He did set up the kissing volcano scene though.

Boys, please. Settle down. You both used each other for your own ends. This has not changed in the slightest.

Look, ok. Maybe you are right. And Hal is going to whisk Jake away for some romance. Or kidnap you for moirail-shit. The thing is, that is all on him. It is better to have Hal than Gamzee’s plans. And you just can’t keep him trapped in there forever when he wants to go out.

Oh no shit I agree with that. A supercomputer with a ghost body that can just instantly hack into anything/everything he can. He hella dangerous.

But you made a fucking promise/bargain, and you really think stalling is going to make your situation with him any better? It is better to have him on your side than against it right?

Also, give him a fucking body! He deserves that much.

Ha. Glasses giving Dirk the same choice that he gave to Jake. Or at least, the same pressure to make the right choice.

Then don’t think. Throw. I would rather have Hal get a body than Equius.

Of Fucking Course. I thought it might have been too good to be true for Gamzee to just leave and not try to revive Equius.

You want to make a supervillain Dirk? Because not honoring your promise to a superpower computer is how you make that computer a supervillain. Give him the fucking body.

See? He agrees with me agreeing with him!

I mean….what else is he supposed to do? But that is a pretty shitty reason for keeping him trapped there.
