Bonus Update: A Threat, Sensed

Dirk has some concerns.

Comments

I have finally read this. The "yiffany suspense" as I call it is blasting though my veins once again. Can't wait to see what happens with her next.

Jeff's girlfriend

'waits for the next chapter'

lordoffantasy

ok upon further consideration my take on this is "hamlet v. ghost dad: strife"

horizon + OPHELIA ANADYOMENE

god damn it i love this so god damn fucking much thank you andrew

horizon + OPHELIA ANADYOMENE

Apparently I hit the perfect timing to finish Pesterquest^^. I see Yiffany as something Callie would come up with. Candy-Earth C is kinda her wish fulfillment after all...

Adagio Redshift

I kind of figured Dirk was more like the self-insert, with the epilogues being a kind of metaphor about what people wanted homestuck to be vs what it really is, but yiffy being a mary sue is a very interesting theory

PsiVolt

think we can apply in terms of how competent they are at achieving the goals and playing the game.

lordoffantasy

i meant bc its full of holes or "flaws" in this metaphor but that shit be dank yo

L0n3 Duo

Ha, Swiss. The evil cheese.

Psylence

aren't Jade and Dirk full of more character flaws than Swiss cheese? maybe i don't know what mary sue means

L0n3 Duo

theory is that yiffy might be mary sue coded... thing is a lot of characters have these traits, including JAde and Dirk. But it means that she is a threat if she is meant to be used against him and he doesn't have narrative control of that situation.

lordoffantasy

I LOVED this update, i think i needed this to be comfortable with the last main story update.

Narchitaine

that ending got me 🙀 why would Yiffy scare Dirk? he's like godtier^2

L0n3 Duo

Somebody really needs to make a Dirk strider account on patreon just so they can rp Dirk in this comment section.

Maggcat

maybe she doesn't even do that by the end. we can only presume who is the villain at this point..... and it was dead obvious yiffany was important. because her name and existence is to fucking inane for it to be otherwise XD

lordoffantasy

a lot of people are starting ot realize there are clues there too. Things no one thought added up.

lordoffantasy

I can't believe Yiffany is going to be important and vital to counter Dirk... I can't wait for Yiffany to kill Dirk somehow.

Darugo Sueño

i cant wait for yiffany to wreck dirks shit

faunafennec

woah .... . woa h

nickadial

Yeah cause I went back through the epilouge (again) and there are several references to the possible existence of Yiffy or sealed holes prior to how things would happen down the line.

Dante Crossing

I'm guessing that this means Yiffy is textually as much a product of Hussie's influence as she is IRL (since she's one of the few aspects of his HS^2 outline he declared non-negotiable), and if that is correct then...fucking cool. This whole update was so ominous like goddamn.

Erin Claire

This update really clarified some things for me regarding Dirk's awareness/influence in Candy.

CYR

I'm love it

CYR

im weezing hes scared of yiffy

Incomprehensible Mituna

Wahahaha! AH still around just in retirement, fahaha! idk why but that was the funniest thing to me! Also "Miss Paint Boarding School for Inconvenient Girls," is it sad to know that there quite a few people that fall under that category?

StepperOfTheLongEarth

We needed this

William L Coleman

As for the writers, good job!

NeoPhantom

Well... if Dirk reads this, he can know that I am finding Candy hella more interesting than Meat. Good old drama beats megalomaniac fake odyssey any day.

NeoPhantom

Ok, I laughed the entire time this was a fantastic bonus

I was thinking it was because it's the last day of the month before the automatic payment happens? Dunno if that's a possibility.
