Belated realisations that make me feel very dense:

Early on in Homestuck, about 500 pages in, there’s a pesterlog between Rose and Dave wherein Rose improvises a short poem about buttfucking a muppet.

In response, Dave sarcastically refers to her as Emily Dickinson.

On the surface level, it’s a crude pun – he’s calling her “Dickinson”, and she was just extemporising about puppet dick.

However, I literally just noticed that her improvised poem happens to be in perfect iambic tetrameter – which is, in fact, the poetic meter in which Emily Dickinson most often worked.

God dammit, Hussie.
