Agreed, well-done video maker, it sounds PRECISELY what I’d think those lines would sound like when sung by children surrounding a man in a terrifying hymnal costume.
cool tune! d^_^b having been learning chinese for a couple weeks now, i know the song title means “masquerade” but i kind of want to read the first two kanjis as “rice noodle”
me: yes, ok, i know the chinese character for rice is not exactly that one but has a slightly different first element but i tried entering this one on google translate to see if it meant anything in (simplified) chinese and got no result so i figure maybe it’s still an older/modified version of the same character, or maybe it just looks similar, look anyway i know this is not how things work (except when occasionally they do) i’m just being goofy, and besides
Really, you can draw *anything* on those. And then erase the evidence so your parents and ministers wouldn’t even know what you’ve done.
Shocking, truly shocking.
Becky demonstrating she lives up to her very white name, I see :’3
I went AFK during the whole Atheism Debacle not because I’m an atheist, but because I cannot with the way Joyce was getting mistreated by friends who def take her for granted (which isn’t something I’m up for debating, please). And this is unrelated enough I’m greatly enjoying it. I’ve said it before and I’ll keep repeating it: Dina is a Domme. An Ace-spec Domme, a top, and a GODDAMN NATURAL HOT DANG – Look at her go, with probs zero idea of soft/hard limits and safewords, and yet coming up with a way to investigate their boundaries and kinks. Absolutely beautiful, I’m a little bit in love with her for it. And it might mean these two maybe aren’t as incompatible in the sack as Becky feared. Hats off, Mr. Willis! ♥
You’re ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, holy shit. I had forgotten that interaction, can you believe? But yeahhh. A novice, she may be – But if she’s already this good I can’t imagine how excellent she’d be with some experience. I’m like, already kneeling at the idea lmaooo
Joyce, Dorothy and Walky all agreed to forget they ever saw that, so I doubt any of them brought it up to her. If Becky’s watched the tape since meeting Walky, though, there’s a chance she would have recognized him.
ooh…I just realized it might hurt Becky’s feelings a lot if she keeps doing things she thinks will turn Dina on and keeps failing. This has the potential to make her insecurities worse, not better.
That’s always a risk and I hope she realizes it. To mitigate it, it’s important to communicate and celebrate small victories, especially at first. Not just here but with everything new you try in life.
I dunno. That kind of seems like the wrong way of looking at this, TBH.
This is SCIENCE they’re doing, and there’s no such thing as a failed experiment.
If there’s anything that Becky needs to know if she wishes to become a SCIENTIST, and something that Dina definitely knows, it’s in any scientific endeavor, a LOT of trial and error are needed before they find out ANYTHING.
“There are rules behind how everything happens. Science is just the name for the steady, pain-in-the-ass effort that goes into figuring out they are.”
That’s the way a scientist (and Dina) would look at it, yeah. But we already know that Becky has some self-esteem issues when it comes to wanting her partners to find her sexually desirable, so Becky might not take it that way. Logically she might know that’s the truth, but emotionally it can still hurt a lot. Fingers crossed that this works out in a way that both of them will enjoy and grow from though. :/
They will grow from it. Becky desires to become a scientist, and will get essential experience. Meanwhile, Dina will get to explore her sexuality, and will likely cherish what she learns as much as any other great discovery she’ll make in her scientific endeavors. 🦖🦕🧬
Honestly, lots of scientists have trouble with it. They’re human and it’s easy to let your own ego and preconceptions get in the way.
That’s why the process relies on peer review and publishing not only results but procedures for others to check rather than just trusting scientists to be impartial with their own work.
I don’t know if the Etch-a-Sketch song is real, but Psalty the Singing Psalmbook (which is who Hymmal the Humming Hymnal is based on) is absolutely real. There was not only a live-action show, but they even had children’s musical plays that churches could put on. I was in one at my church, many, many years ago.
Jonathan Joss being shot outside his home while protecting his husband after being sent a threatening and distressing package is WHY we need Pride
It's 2025 and people are still being shot and killed for being queer
This is why we march and why we fight
the thing about white liberal Americans is that they'll argue to accept bigots into their tent before accepting the bigots' targets.
the targets that have been on the same side as white liberals from the jump.
John Redcorn was pretty much the only contemporary Native representation I had in comedy growing up. Probably the funniest Native character in cartoon history and a lot of that was on Jonathan Joss' pitch perfect rezzy uncle performance. RIP to one of the best to ever do it.
today in #9chickweedlane i learned that, yes, lolly is so edda 2.0 that she's even wearing her mother's wedding dress as she gets married to Her Dad (But Taller)

the big disconnect that happens here is between the correct message for D politicians (especially in red states), which is “you’re right, this isn’t who you are, you’re better than that, vote differently next time”
and the actual truth, which is yes you did, fuck you

you know, this one
…well, that’s one of the more horrifying things I’ve ever seen in my life.
…huh, I never realized that that song was from the same episode of Hymmel that Joyce and Dorothy watched> in that storyline (and that Walky was in as a kid).
Joe’s comment about seeing those moves in a porno seem particularely relevant here.
Wait, SAUCE?
Here it is:

“…the Humming Hymen”
I assume it was nipple play and then double hand job?
Agreed, well-done video maker, it sounds PRECISELY what I’d think those lines would sound like when sung by children surrounding a man in a terrifying hymnal costume.
I wonder if anyone’s told Becky about the Walky thing.
Hmm. Somebody posted a review of DOA to YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sW8UtmMAvT4
DAWN OF THE FINAL DAY
24 HOURS REMAIN
… the prediction from Ghost Busters?
Or are you talking about something else?
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, and we’ve been following a certain couple’s relationship for the past eight days now.
And Willis has a certain tradition to maintain on Valentine’s Day.
Oh.
Cause I was gonna say, that was supposed to be 6 years ago now in 2016, not this year.
Sometimes I forget the term “white people dancing”
And yet… nah. If Becky could be able to twirl Dina like that, we’re stirring the pot now
if i tried this my ankle would snap into a million pieces
GROOVY!
Operation: Amanterasu is a GO!!!

cool tune! d^_^b having been learning chinese for a couple weeks now, i know the song title means “masquerade” but i kind of want to read the first two kanjis as “rice noodle”
so
i’m entertained
no one:
me: yes, ok, i know the chinese character for rice is not exactly that one but has a slightly different first element but i tried entering this one on google translate to see if it meant anything in (simplified) chinese and got no result so i figure maybe it’s still an older/modified version of the same character, or maybe it just looks similar, look anyway i know this is not how things work (except when occasionally they do) i’m just being goofy, and besides
♪ Masquerade! Paper faces on parade~! ♫
Also, you introduced me to shockingly good Japanese funk. Thank you. [bows]
You had an Etch-a-Sketch? Satan’s notepad?
Really, you can draw *anything* on those. And then erase the evidence so your parents and ministers wouldn’t even know what you’ve done.
Shocking, truly shocking.
Square b00bies!!
Think of all the time you’ll save by not having to shamefully devour your secret art!
plus, if someone walks in on you, they get one (1) free sexy dance!
wow, nice
It would totally have worked on Joyce
Hmmm, that might be cause for some concern… Maybe Becky still has some latent Joyce-centric desires she needs to address, first.
And tomorrow is Valentine’s Day.
What could possibly go wrong?
why do i feel like i’m seeing something I’m not supposed to see
It’s okay, Dina put her hat back on.
Special move. Becky has to build meter before performing it.
Becky demonstrating she lives up to her very white name, I see :’3
I went AFK during the whole Atheism Debacle not because I’m an atheist, but because I cannot with the way Joyce was getting mistreated by friends who def take her for granted (which isn’t something I’m up for debating, please).

No, Dina put the hat back on.
Slick, she’s fucking INCREDIBLE!
Her passion for science and method in all that she does is absolutely UNRIVALED.
🧬 🦖 🦕
Her beauty, her BRAIN POWER! She’s the Empress of Evolution, and can rival a GOD!
🤯🤯🤯 🧠🧠🧠
And she will.
*plays “Awaken EPIC Version” on overclocked Hacked Muzak*
ALL BOW FOR DINA. I BELIEVE IN DINA’S SUPREMACY
(Excellent choice for the Muzak, friend)
Hey stay tuned, I have something related I wanna share with you slick!
Excuse me but Dina has exceptional knowledge of hard/soft limits and safe words and is *scientifically exact* in determining them all.
We also knew she was this after the strip where she detailed what sex between her and Joe would be like.
Cripes Dina is even a master at reassuring her sub that hard limits will be respected so she feels safe experimenting, just look at the last strip.
You’re ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, holy shit. I had forgotten that interaction, can you believe? But yeahhh. A novice, she may be – But if she’s already this good I can’t imagine how excellent she’d be with some experience. I’m like, already kneeling at the idea lmaooo
I love them SO MUCH.
“So what’s your favorite thing about Dina?”
“HER SCALP”
“Uhh, ok, that’s……interesting. Dina! What do you most love about Becky?”
“‘The Etch-A-Sketch Song, Praise Kids 9, Psalmsational Servers!'”
“………….”
D’awww, I love these dorks
If it starts raining or something, gotta hunch what caused it.
That’s fine. It’s the storm we all have to endure.
This reminds me: does Becky know Walky was one of the church mice in Psalty?
i don’t think becky noticed any of the dude mice
Joyce, Dorothy and Walky all agreed to forget they ever saw that, so I doubt any of them brought it up to her. If Becky’s watched the tape since meeting Walky, though, there’s a chance she would have recognized him.
Since still seems to have overall positive feelings about Psalty, it’s probably been a few years
Someone have the strip where Joyce talks about the “Etch-a-sketch” song? I looked through the hymmel tag linked and don’t immediately see it.
I linked it up above. I would link it again down here but when I tried to I got stuck in moderation, hope this one shows up
Willis just linked both of the relevant strips on Twitter as well.
Somewhere, Walky just cringed and muttered a curse…
The dance is called Emotional Foreshadowing.
This seems like a good strip on which to link to this again.
Well, it worked for Joe.
[voice = “nature documentary”]
The ritual courtship dance has begun. Soon, the dinosaurs will mate.
[/voice]
You joke, but we might have fossil evidence of a dinosaur courtship dance
Interesting—footprints? Or did they get buried in a mudslide mid-dance?
ooh…I just realized it might hurt Becky’s feelings a lot if she keeps doing things she thinks will turn Dina on and keeps failing. This has the potential to make her insecurities worse, not better.
That’s always a risk and I hope she realizes it. To mitigate it, it’s important to communicate and celebrate small victories, especially at first. Not just here but with everything new you try in life.

DARE TO KNOW.

>>> BTW I don’t know what this song is called, but it just feels so perfect here. So… hopeful.
Honestly, lots of scientists have trouble with it. They’re human and it’s easy to let your own ego and preconceptions get in the way.
That’s why the process relies on peer review and publishing not only results but procedures for others to check rather than just trusting scientists to be impartial with their own work.
Yes, peer review is very important in any scientific research.
As for this case, just how do you suggest they do peer review? Leslie might be a good starting point….
I was sorta hoping they’d just kiss. Dina liked it that one time
I just hoped etch-a-sketch were a real song, band or other thing, as DoA almost all time got real references
It’s a parody of a real thing. (Apparently — I’ve seen links to this alleged real thing, and I still don’t believe it’s actually a real thing.)
DoA has real references except when it doesn’t.
I don’t know if the Etch-a-Sketch song is real, but Psalty the Singing Psalmbook (which is who Hymmal the Humming Hymnal is based on) is absolutely real. There was not only a live-action show, but they even had children’s musical plays that churches could put on. I was in one at my church, many, many years ago.
tks, I googled Psalty and now I got traumatized
Looks like the beginning of a mating ritual.
Any bird who did this dance would never get laid the rest of their lives.
I think it’d be somewhat effective. You’re not showing off the wings very well, but birds like spinny
They’re not the only ones!
Spinning may not be flying, but it’s a good trick.
That almost flew right by me!
i mean, have you seen birds of paradise courtship displays
these clowns are into some freaky shit
Oh god, the Christian Fundamentalist Upbringing strikes again >_<
Hopefully Dina is more affected by this display than in Becky’s last attempt (my own interpretation).
Now I kinda wish I had a velociraptor throne, though I wouldn’t have any space for it in my bedroom.
Also, “Let the Horny Trials Begin” could make a good DoA book title.
I sense this as being either avoidance or a sincere attempt that works really well very rarely.
Luckily for Becky Dina is very perceptive and will push Becky in a clear direction of being honest about her feelings about her desires.
Or
Dina it turns out is really turned on by this dance specifically and nothing else, thus cursing Becky to dance for hours to get Dina off.
I’m hoping for the curse
oooor you’re miming pinching and playing with nipples lmao
Playing with matches and lowkey hoping for a fire is a common Christian pastime…
this dance IS delightful, but let’s also appreciate “I am perched from my Velociraptor throne. May the horny trials begin!”
God Becky’s cute
That is all
Even at this reduced size I am fully appreciating Dina’s hair still being tousled like that
*endearing* Holy crap she’s pathetic
With men I am Dina- no sexual attraction, just scientific curiosity and desire to caringly dominate
With women I am Becky- too gay to function
ok. “new romantic partner: ‘let the horny trials begin'”. just added to the bucket list.
May the moans be ever in your favor
The moans of production?
