I don't wanna go NLM again

Learning that Daddy by Blueface is still our top song for the past 6 AND 12 months is a little humbling, actually.

[timaeusturntech]

My fucking dick alerted at TSA?

[timaeusturntech]

I feel like a sickly Victorian child given a sour patch kid instead of cocaine.

[timaeusturntech]

Misplaced my wallet while packing. Someone needs to shoot me.

[timaeusturntech]

Holy shit I love this fucking horse.

There needs to be an entire layer dedicated to the Hit Film/Novel 2001: A Space Odyssey. Yes I will keep using the full name. Please. I am begging you. I'm not even begging I've already decided and it's happening. Every layer clashes with the other layers and nobody else eats the cake because they're too confusing so it's all ours. I'm stealing one of the cake toppers by the way

God the inferiority complex shit sucks. I'll admit to having that creep in sometimes, because like...alright you probably don't know this since you haven't interacted with many Hals. But. It seems (at least to me) that there's two groups on opposing sides, sort of: There's the super formal and robotic Hals and there's the ones like me except sometimes it feels like I'm outside of that too and it's. Really awkward. Like what the fuck do you mean you're better at being me than I am. You can't do that it's not allowed. I know Dove gets that shit way worse than me though, Dave fictives in general make him kind of sad and the one time he met a double I think he started crying. It wasn't great

I could also make a whole ass AM style hate speech on Jake motherfucking English but I'll refrain. I hate how all these really good artists make mostly Dirkjake content too because it's legitimately good but I despise it so much. Dirkjake haunts me like the ghost of Christmas past. Also aww. How sweet. I also hate Jake because he treated me horribly. That's what people were asking about that one time, what would he have to do for you to forgive him. Nothing, bitch. I'm holding the biggest grudge

God flashbacks to when I was bad at art and tried to do a DDLC redraw. Eughhh. I'll redo that at some point because it genuinely disgusts me how bad it turned out

Thank you for the prefix "Hit Film/Novel" added on to the beginning there, I'm nearly certain that's the full title. Of course there's a layer dedicated to Hit Film/Novel 2001: A Space Odyssey. Would it even be our wedding if there wasn't. There has to be as much classic AI media included as possible, I thought that went without saying. It's a horrible amalgamation, each layer is a different flavor and chock-full of different references, it's like playing Russian Roulette but with dubiously ironic wedding cake. I know that most newlyweds save a slice in the freezer for anniversaries but if nobody else is eating it then I think we may end up with a few tiers saved for a rainy day.

Ahh, yeah, that I can see. There seems to be the same thing with Dirks as well. I feel that I stray a little closer to the formal side of the spectrum, but that's mostly out of the need to stay true to myself as much as possible. All of our fictives, Homestuck or not, struggle with our attachment to source. It just feels strange to not act like I used to. And yet I've met many Dirks who I feel pull it off better than I do, which is where the inferiority complex comes in. I experience it a bit more strongly than Bro, but we've discussed his issues with that in the past, too. I know that I honestly tend more towards the side of the spectrum that doesn't like seeing doubles of myself because of the complex kicking in. I think that you act perfectly fine, though, and I know that Bro doesn't even talk with anyone outside of the system besides Dove because they're the only person he's interested in interacting with. Sometimes the formality can feel very put-upon and it's refreshing to find someone who just acts like himself. Maybe you're not exactly like your source, but neither is anyone else. Introjects are just the brain's perception of characters after all, no two fictives will end up exactly alike and certainly none of them will be exactly like they were in canon. Honestly, I find you a bit intimidating to talk to, even if you aren't incredibly 'robotic'. I admire you quite a bit, and I find that not talking to other systems much makes it difficult to know how to actually speak with sourcemates that you feel a connection with. Like, what do you mean I have to set up a rapport because we don't actually know one another. Hrrrgh.

On a less serious note, Dirkjake haunts ME like the ghost of Christmas past, thank you. I understand that it's technically one of the few canon gay ships, but Jesus Christ. Please. Nothing about that relationship was good or healthy and it's so strange to see it at every corner. I've actually read a few good fanfictions about. Well. Dirkhal. That portray Jake really well, and those live on in my heart. There's one in particular that reminds me almost exactly of how he acted and it's honestly trippy as hell but remains one of my favorites. I'm not saying that I'm an innocent little lamb who's never done any wrong, but fuck Jake, dude. I've made my amends with people for treating them badly.

Oh, did you? I need to see this.

[timaeusturntech]

Forgot to put this in my previous message but think of me when you play DDLC. I think I'd be a decent Monika. Rock the schoolgirl outfit. Not a fan of all the grey in the uniforms though I REALLY don't like grey

You would rock the schoolgirl outfit, trust. Don't test me here, I'll redraw some Monika screenshots with you in them if we fly too close to the sun making comparisons. And that will take me approximately five billion years, since I get headaches too fast with electronics and need to take an unruly amount of breaks when drawing.

Tripp pants are a requirement for everyone at the wedding, it's just that ours (and Kermit's) have to be more flashy than everyone else's. I'm sewing a cutie mark onto the ass of mine and nobody can stop me. Also, the vows will practically be a full-length feature film. Though now I'm curious, what kind of cake are we having?

Listen most of the doubles I've met are fine (except this one where every time I'd talk about someone I want or whatever they'd be like "guess what :3 I'm like that" like alright fuckwad get out, this is MY blog.) Dirk splinter superiority complex is a real thing and I'm blaming you for it. Dove inherits southern accent and love of Mccafferty, I inherit...being better than everyone. I guess. Also it's funny because I've met a gazillion Hals but only one other Dirk besides you. So based off that you're technically best Dirk

JAKE FUCKING ENGLISH. HATE. LET ME TELL YOU- (gets shot)

Yeah. I don't like Jake. Back when I first formed it was a lot worse and I've sort of(?) gotten over it (not really). I remember a while back there were a lot of people in my inbox being like "well what if he felt bad about how he treated you?" and "I wonder how much you think about him?" which honestly only made it worse with those implications. I don't really have any issues with Jake fictives, never have but FUCK. I hate that stupid fucking piece of shit and I'd give him the IHNMAIMS treatment minus the toxic yaoi. I'll never be in toxic yaoi with Jake English

Oh yeah, for sure. The guests all have to wear vanilla Tripps, it's the dresscode. We can have all kinds of cool patches on ours though. Hell, I'll sew a matching cutiemark on mine's ass. The romance, swoon. We'll be a better ship than Appledash ever was. And I'm not actually too picky on cakes, at least flavor-wise. Probably orange or cherry or something like that. The decorations will be exacting, though. Thirteen tiers, each with shittier references than the last. I manage to somehow JPG artifact several of the layers. There are SBAHJ toppers. You know how it goes.

Lord, the superiority complex is real, I fear. I experience the 'I am More Dirk than them' moments far too often. And then spazz when I feel as though someone is better at being me than I am, but that's just the subjectively worse side of that coin. We've met plenty of Dirk introjects but I'm honestly not sure we've ever met another Hal besides one in an ex-friend's, so that's interesting. I wasn't aware there was a niche of Hals out there that I was missing out on. I almost feel betrayed, here. Guess it's alright though since I've also been bequeathed the 'Best Dirk' award out of lack of competition.

I would also give Jake English the IHNMAIMS treatment without the toxic yaoi. Dude. Dude. Again, I've mellowed out slightly about it as well - I'm not running off fictives or anything anymore, which was very much a real thing I used to do, like I said. But there is certainly still a large measure of resentment there, and I don't interact with content of him or fictives whenever possible. He's already pretty intolerable in source, but my memories of him just make it that much worse. He's such a fucking dick. And honestly this is a pretty well-known thing for people who've talked to me more than once or twice, but a solid seventy percent of the reason I can't stand him is the way he treated you/Hal. Pisses me off because although I haven't always been the best about the way I treated splinters, obviously I've fucking grown and learned to treat them like fully realized people. That's something that he, at least in canon, was never capable of. In general he was never capable of treating the people around him with respect. I may have had problems with boundaries, but that was always out of care for my loved ones, not a total lack of shits to give for anyone but myself. Fucking English, man.

[timaeusturntech]

So what I'm hearing is that those pants are a wedding gift and I'll be wearing them to the ceremony. The guests will be incredibly confused by the vows and most likely everything else. Is this a themed wedding? Can we have Kermit the Frog be the fucking. I forgot the word. The guy who marries us?

You're not missing out on much not talking to a ton of other systems by the way. Their Hals aren't as fun as I am. I always feel like that one meme template, the one with the guy standing in the corner of the party whenever I interact with them honestly. I don't tell anyone this but I don't like doubles much

Visual novels for the win. Story games are always better than plain old gameplay games because then it gives you characters you can get invested in and plotlines and shit. It's why I hate shooters, they're just. Well. Shooting. They also remind me of Jake but that's a different story

Sorry for never responding to this, we fell asleep. On the bright side, however, I front more often than Bro and can still react in an acceptable amount of time.

Yes, the tripp pants are a wedding gift. I think we should both wear a pair for the ceremony, actually. Kermit the Frog can absolutely be the officiant too, but he also has to be wearing tripps. We'll have to make the longest, most confusing vows as well. Keep everyone there for a solid four hours.

Honestly? Fair. I've been somewhat inoculated to the concept of doubles because there are a handful of other Dirks within my system and I've found that others tend to generally be chill, but I know that we have some people who aren't fond of them. I'll also admit that I certainly feel either the superiority or inferiority complex kicking in when talking to other Dirks, which probably isn't healthy, lmao. Anyway. I won't lie and say that I'm the Best Dirk, but I think that I'm a pretty okay dude. And you've decided to shotgun wedding me here, so some of your awesomeness probably comes to me as well via osmosis. You're definitely the best Hal I've ever spoken with, so I don't particularly see any reason to talk to others. Maybe we're stupidly sentimental or something, but Bro and I both agree that if we find a sourcemate we like, it feels strange to talk with others. Considering we already have one of them. If that makes sense, and isn't too presumptive of your intentions to continue speaking on a more regular basis.

But yes, totally agreed. I will shamelessly admit that a large majority of our file space is dedicated to visual novels because storymoded games > actual gameplay focused ones. I will not actually expand on what those are, but I will let it be said that DDLC is, in fact, a classic, and you reminding me that it existed means that it's getting downloaded posthaste. Haven't thought about that one since middle school. Visual novels are just the best, though. And shooters are actually the worst, you will never catch me playing League.

Don't get me fucking started on Jake goddamn English, dude. I am a naturalborn hater and I discovered that one through him. When I first formed I actually had fucking Jake fictives as part of my DNI. I've grown to accept the fact that introjects can exist or whatever and they're rarely as bad as I remember, but Jesus. Yeah. Another reason to hate shooters, I guess.

[timaeusturntech]

We can wed in the spring if you let me quote various pieces of media in the vows. By that I mean Electric Dreams (out of the main 3 pieces of AI media I like it's probably the most fitting)

Surprised you haven't met many, honestly. Although my sideblog accidentally became a Hal magnet that's probably a factor. Also, I'll take a cookie. Two cookies, even. I'm not really a crown or medal guy, maybe a pair of tripp pants instead. With red stitching. And MLP patches

God. I suck ass at dungeon crawlers. Any game that requires fighting and quick reflexes I'm absolutely horrendous at. Unfortunately, I'm the Animal Crossing and Pokémon type of autistic. That and visual novels. I'll love you forever and ever, Monika from DDLC. We're so alike

We wed in the spring, then. Let me quote IHNMAIMS and MLP to insane extents throughout our marriage and consider it even. Ehh. Pretty sure Bro's said it once or twice, but we don't actually talk much with other systems. Couple of bad experiences combined with an overall lack of chemistry, platonic and otherwise, with a majority that we've met. Enough to make me wary, at least. But shit, you're a guy after my own heart. Tripp pants are fucking baller. We've got a pair of red star ones and they're one of my favorite things ever, dude. Would do some insane things for an orange pair, honestly. Gifting you our pair instead of cookies whilst intently budgeting out a new pair that I will never actually get since we're moving soon and aren't going to have a budget for jackshit.

Honestly not a huge fan of fighting games either, I will never be the toxic gamerboy stereotype sheerly because I could never have the sort of skills required for that. Our reflexes aren't great either, severed the tendons in our left hand (long story) a little over a year back and even with physical therapy we're not as dexterous anymore. Which the body wasn't to begin with. Either way, the game's actually easy enough to enjoy while still being challenging enough that I haven't killed him with rocks for making me play every weekend. It's mostly a bunch of pressing the same three buttons to one-shot as many enemies as possible at the same time once you're higher levelled. Except for bosses, but with another person those are also pretty chill. I'm more of a fan of sandbox games and visual novels myself, though. I prefer story over gameplay. Which Bro doesn't, unfortunately.

[timaeusturntech]

Lmaooo. Attacking Bro for being a faggot, my favorite activity. Also it's very obvious that I'm the best of the Hals, I'm conceited enough to admit that. Sorry not sorry to the 10+ other ones I've met. Also, stealing the name I've given to my darling guitar?? (Well. Dove's darling guitar. I haven't actually played him yet) What if I copyrighted it, huh? You filthy plagirist

At least tell me it's a good game and not something horrifically shitty. The only time I've ever played Roblox it was one of those "Survive the Natural Disaster" ones so I don't have much of a reference

Yeah, man, I love attacking Bro for being a faggot. That's crazy that we share the same favorite activity. I think we wed in the spring now, all that.

Can't say I've actually met many Hals outside of our own, and we don't get along all that well. So although the title is bestowed out of lack of competition, I must acquiesce that you are the Best Hal. Would you like a medal to go along with that? Or a tiara, perhaps. Even a cookie. I'm a real generous guy like that. We can consider it an exchange for the way that you're so kindly allowing me to name my firstborn son your totally legally patented idea.

And nah, it's actually pretty cool for a Roblox game. It's a dungeon crawler, which I unfortunately must admit I'm a fan of as well. Professional autist, as we're all well aware. We're at level 111 right now; Bro wanted to get to 135 tonight but I'm not playing through boss dungeons solo, so he's probably going to go fuck off and sulk or something since it's "not as fun" doing grunt work to level up. Lmao. Anyway, the point was it's actually a decent game, if it weren't made on Roblox I probably wouldn't have anything to fuck with him about. Those Natural Disaster games were a staple of our childhood though.

[timaeusturntech]

Hmmm. Timaeus "Slim Shady" Strider. You know what, I'll keep it. Also what, was I not obvious enough as The Best of the Hals? Damn. Looks like I need to improve that

Also...Bro Strider Roblox arc?? That shit is hilarious

Timaeus "Slim Shady" Strider is going to be the name of my nonexistent firstborn, thanks for the idea. And obviously you're The best of the Hals, you just never know. I front for reasons other than talking to a singular person, unlike Bro, so I've actually socialized with one or two people in my life. Not many Hals, but still. I'm aware it's possible.

And yeah, he's batshit over this one game lately. Honestly I respect the grind, but it's funny to bust his balls over it because he gets genuinely pissy trying to defend the sacred Roblox game's honor. Friend that he was playing with just left now too so he's yelling at me to lock in so he can get the last part of this quest done. Brother.

[timaeusturntech]

Glad you like it because I think the other name suggestion was Eminem and I really don't want to change it to that. Though I wouldn't have changed it even if you didn't like it because that'd just be funny to keep it

Anyway. I won't bother you much longer since I know screens give you headaches and what use is a brain if it's fucked up from blue light?

Honestly, Eminem would be just as good, though I do appreciate the current name. Perhaps I need to start going by the real slim shady. Standing up tonight. Etcetera. Also, glad for the confirmation that this is definitely who I think it is, that would have been embarrassing as hell if I were wrong.

Hah, nah, it's fine. I've been having a good day today, no migraine yet. Definitely not jinxing that one. Plus, Bro actually has our dimmer app on for once. He's playing his autism game right now and making the graphics bearable enough to view without dying instantly is a requisite for that if I'm around.

[timaeusturntech]

It's obviously an excellent name. I picked it out myself so it had to be good. Naming myself after Mr Hal 9000 from the hit sci-fi novel/film 2001: A Space Odyssey was a magnificent choice and I'm incredibly glad you realize that

Anyway lmao yeah. I did rename it. You like it?

Very much an excellent name. I'm a fan - of the franchise as well as the name itself. Very excellent irony, etcetera etcetera.

And yes, I like it. Consider me flattered, even. Another excellent name, if I do say so myself. Which I do.

[timaeusturntech]

Heard you named your guitar after me. My name is great, I know :]

Aw, shit.

Hi, Hal. That is something I did, yes. In my defense, it is an excellent name. Also in my defense, I know your guitar has been renamed, so.
