#Alpha Mom Rose

[davekat-sucks]

considering it's widely accepted that dirk has a southern accent, it's only fair that roxy gets a new york accent. whydya have to be gay, doik. I am in full support of alpha dave and alpha rose leaving behind videos and materials for dirk and roxy to learn language and purposefully giving them an accent just to fuck with them

Hell yes.

The alpha guardians knew they were doomed. But refused to see it so hard. Or maybe they did. I like to think alpha rose saw it and accepted it. She was bitter about it certainly, but it didnt mean she didnt set stubbornly to making sure her daughter would grow up with what was needed. The necessary modifications to her home to ensure the development of an area fit to accomodate Roxy, as well as giving her devices for ease of travel and for storage. A house built on adaptability and use, but lacking the character of a home. Perhaps the reason she was such an elusive enigma to Roxy.

Then we have Dirks. Full of sentimental memorabilia, keepsakes that Dave collected, shitty artpieces and posters, gamebro magazines and shitty swords. A home so adorned in dave strider that Dirk couldn’t help but model himself after him. It faces the stark opposite of roxys: sentimentality over convenience. Almost like Dave didnt see how grave the situation was- no, didnt believe this was all it was so never took the proper care to adapt the apartment. Dave was a movie director. Would it be a far throw to say he mightve had some hope that maybe just maybe, it would turn out like one of the movies too? The ones where the good guys win sgainst all odds. That they mightve had more time.

i got super ill about the homestuck kids’ accents and wrote a whole thing

john: your stereotypical american accent that one thinks of, californian but diluted basically. says you guys a lot. pronounces wash kind of like warsh. also sometimes uses weirdly formal language, like television instead of TV, refrigerator instead of fridge, even automobile instead of car - dad’s fault. trained himself out of it cause he thought it was embarrassing, but slips up sometimes.

rose: somewhat of a transatlantic accent, including the speech patterns. picked it up from old tv shows and movies because she didn’t want to sound like roxy-mom (who has a thick mixture of a new york/boston/rhode island accent). but growing up with roxy-mom, she has a bit of that accent too - so it’s this weird mixture of 30% stereotypical American, 50% transatlantic, 20% boston accent. 

dave: texan accent, courtesy of dirk!bro, who spoke in the most stereotypical drawling texan accent ever. as he got older he started to think it wasn’t cool, so he started masking it, but it’s still there. gets stronger when he expresses emotion or when he forgets to mask it. gratuitous use of the word y’all. doesn’t say it over text but it’s a habit in real life. drops g’s at the end of words, like singin’, fuckin’, etc.

jade: obviously had no outside contact with other people other than with grandpa, so she has a slight british accent - kept up with learning to talk by watching youtube videos, so the accent isn’t very strong. also, even before going god tier, had weird canine vocalizations picked up from bec, like growling, whining, even sometimes howling, etc.

jane: very similar to john’s, but sounds…older? not transatlantic, but similar to late 19th century-early 20th century accents, with song-like intonation and faint r’s. heavy emphasized consonants and slight vowel merging with e and i, such that pen and pin sound virtually the same. all in all, what you’d imagine a canadian from the 1800s talks like. 

roxy: the goddamn heaviest stereotypical new york accent ever. a weird super heavy mix of queens and staten island accent she learned entirely for shits and giggles, and also to annoy rose-mom. not very nasally though, unless she’s trying to annoy someone on purpose. a lot of the word like thrown in. doesn’t say it over text, but it’s a habit irl. 

dirk: the flattest most unplaceable standard american accent ever, apart from a hint of a texan accent. learned to talk from the internet and robots, but when he was very young used to repeatedly watch videos that dave!bro left for him and programmed around the house. dave!bro had a heavy texan accent, which is where he picked that up from. drops g’s at the end of words, like singin’, fuckin’, etc.

jake: really heavy, stereotypically posh british accent that sounds like what an american thinks a british person sounds like. but he’s 100% genuine about it and there’s no real explanation for why he does it, other than the fact that when he was very young he used to repeatedly watch grandma’s favorite movies - old british movies. now it’s just a habit and he can’t be trained out of it.
