Sooo delete this post if someone's been here before because it's a bit of a obvious post but I just realized it and I feel like ranting.
The Prince Class that Dirk has is clearly defined by the fact it is actually a reference to Machiavelli's The Prince. It's obvious throughout the whole series actually, and it's highest levels of powers is why Dirk is able to access Meta-level powers and be a Narrator.
The earliest and most direct examples of this is Dave's whole childhood and manipulating Jake into being his bf. The other real power of the Prince is that he can feel his other selves memories throughout the multiverse. And being a complete utter badass, but that could also just be pure Dirk. There is also the fact that he maintained complete control in "Jester Mode" or whatever it was called when they licked the lollipop Juju. This is probably more of a side effect of his class, he probably can't even enjoy drugs. "Be cooler if ya could."
Anyway, the fact this is how the Prince works has become super obvious with the epilogues, as he is now literally writing the narrative, though being fair, he was pushed out by the God tier Muse of Space herself, DEAD CALLIE! WOO WOOOOOOOO! (Ps gonna say now that the candy half of the epilogues was better and EGGBERTXTEREZI FOR LIFFEEEEEEE) And I honestly think Callie will merge with Andrew Hussie's Homestuck self to form the Meta-Lord themselves, Andrew Hussie still, but the real life version. XD
Jokes aside, it was freaky to see how much Dirk wrote over his friends. But as the story progresses and he becomes more comfortable with his power, he writes them...wrong. And I feel like that's gonna be part of why he'll lose in the end. Like the whole scene with Jake at the end of Meat, completely just him stroking his emotions. Maybe if Jake went through half the shit in Candy he'd be that big of a mess but in Meat, Jake's life is amazingggg. Like my god. If Dirk hadn't had Jake wrapped around his meta powers that whole time, THE PUSSY AND DICKS JAKE WOULD BE DROWNED IN WOULD BE SURPASSED ONLY BY THE BUCKETS THE TROLLS WOULD THROW AT HIM, BEGGING TO PUT HIS BUTT IN AND DEPOSIT HIS GENETIC MATERIALS AND THE AWKWARDNESS THAT FOLLOWS FROM EXPLAINING HOW THE HUMAN BODY WORKS!
But anyway, his friends are capable of resisting. This has been proven long ago with the various computers that influenced our various protagonists to begin with. My personal favorite example of this is the OG Blackjack influencing Karkat, if I recall correctly. Though Dirk will certainly be the hardest to resist, and it will probably only be able to be done with the assistance of dead Callie and maybe Terezi. I honestly hope she gets godhood cause she can already influence her past self and she is of the Mind sign, she can definitely play on the meta battlefield in godhood.
Speaking of signs, I'm pretty sure that Dirk being the Prince of Hearts means that he's Andrew Hussie's legit in-universe character. Like I know he has one already, but I mean one that can like, influence the plot beyond crushing on Ariadne. It's either that or he's at this point or if not now, soon, the literal heart of Homestuck and if he dies, Homestuck dies.
Andddddd that's all I got, hope to get feedback and overanalyze homestuck with y'all!
