Greetings, Dirk Gently fandom; I bring you great news! A saviour has been born!
Introducing: a searchable DGHDA scene index!
-
What is it?
It's a way to categorise and search for every single scene in the show.
You can sort by character, tone, season, activity level, etc, and the spreadsheet will automatically give you all the scenes that match your search with a link to their start and end times on YouTube!
Why?
The original intention of this was for fic writers – as the writing equivalent of a folder of reference images. But it has as many applications as you can think of for it!
How?
Four days of me hyperfocusing on spreadsheet formulae. Worth it.
-
But!!! There's a Problem!
See, I've set the whole thing up, with formatting and formulae and so on – but, at present, there isn't actually anything in it.
There's something like 900 scenes in the whole show.
So: I'm asking for your help!
I've got a document linked below explaining everything involved, but in short: if we produce a community effort and divide the episodes between us, the whole thing will be filled out and functional much more quickly!
There's no pressure to do anything you don't feel up for, so don't feel like you have to input loads to take part! And if you don't take part at all for any reason, that's also completely fine. Your presence in the fandom is always enough <3
If you do feel up for anything, your help will be greatly appreciated!!
Interested? Read the document and get in touch!!

P.S. We've got an active DGHDA discord server if you'd like to hang out and discuss anything DGHDA related! The guys there have been vital to this spreadsheet's production so far, and are wonderful to be around; come join us if you want to! Here's the link - DM me somewhere if it's expired!

IT'S ALMOST THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN........... GET PANTSED IDIOT
[Image I.D: A full body image of Professor Gunnar Maelstrom, in his Charlie Pants clown costume, standing and grinning at the viewer. Red bold text superimposed over him says: get pantsed. End I.D.]
The best place to start is with our main character, is it not?
The story is classic.
Frisk, a seven year old with a head in the clouds and feet that have a tendency to move on their own finds themself on yet another adventure at the top of the famously cursed Mt. Ebott.
After an incident involving searching for a flower and some amateur rock-climbing, they tumble down a giant hole and into a world of magic and mystery.
Armed with only their wit, determination, and the occasional sarcastic comment from a ghostly narrator, Frisk ventures further into the cavern, making both friends and enemies along the way.
So how is Underswap Frisk different from their Undertale counterpart?
For the most part, they aren’t.
They still effect the story through their choices, have the ability to save and reload files, and generally just roll with the punches until they get the outcome they want to see.
The biggest change is their newly found ability to pack an extra punch with any weapons they find along the way.
They’re a little bit magic now.
So, Due to the fact that Frisk’s soul has an attachment to the remainder of a monster soul (Check out Asriel’s bio for a bit more details on that) they aren’t entirely bound to the limits of human fighting anymore.
It’s nothing to powerful, of course, just a little bit of an extra punch with their attacks, maybe a second attack in one turn if they’re real motivated.
With enough time and practice, they might be able to form the world’s smallest magic knife. But until then, they’ll have to stick with channeling their limited magic through whatever they happen to be holding at the time.
[ID: It’s an orange, glittery box. Inside, there is white text that reads: Alphys Week! This is followed, also in the box, by smaller text: September 5th to 11th, 2022. Makeup week: September 19th to 25th, 2022. Finally, in slightly larger text, it lists the themes of each day. They are in the following order: Anime, Dating Start, Crown, Coffee, Au, Sun, and Free day. End ID.]
That’s right!!! Let your Alphys Love show through any means you wish- Cosplay, Art, Fics, whatever you see fit! If you want to craft elaborately rigged cuckoo clocks to the prompts? First off, that’s cool as hell, and secondly, go for it!!!
Just make sure to include #alphysweek or #alphysweek2022 in your posts, so I can see them!!!
