you tell god to fuck that shit, and abscond anyway no strider is gonna take that bullshit and not only will you abscond, but then you'll refuse to abscond, ironically then you'll kick ass and go to heaven regardless, but not care and go to hell, ironically, because fuck that shit

I like the exaggerated bass in this version; the melody shows that Dave obviously knows what he's doing, and the ridiculous bass levels are just him being ironic. Or something like that.

[@pensamiento3867]

funny thing is, dirk is constantly decapitating and being decapitated himself throughout the entire comic. the robot bunny decapitates grandpa john, his robo-dirk thing he sent jake decapitates a lusus once, his dream self decapitates HB, and he gets decapitated himself twice (once by suicide to teleport his head, the other being the one you mention). it keeps happening
