Your Dirk and Jake are incredible, and seeing your art always makes my day. Seriously, the way you draw Dirk is maybe my favorite interpretation of him! You do both of them such justice.

Thank you, I've been drawing them non-stop (almost) every day for over a year, while my Dirk has stayed the same my Jake def got WAY better.

Here's a collage of some of my favorite bits of both dudes.

(super deep and sincere thank you to the discord server bc they made me more comfortable in drawing Jake. everyone is always on about mischaracterizing Dirk but Jakey is a real doozy to handle if you think about him for longer than 5 seconds)

he fills me with unparalleled rage

oooohh headcanons 👀 i don't know how to do the symbols so excuse me while i just type the words haha

angry - dirk

family - farah

cooking - todd?

☠ - angry/violent headcanon dirk has a lot of repressed anger- this isnt even a hc its just like… very clearly there especially in s2 particularly in blackwing. hes more chirpy side isnt a facade or anything- its totally genuine the guy is happy, but he hasnt exactly dealt his trauma surrounding blackwing and the built up resentment of his robbed youth. he has two main ways of expressing anger- the louder, aggressive rage that usually comes out, like in blackwing. its bitchy and defiant and what he usually falls into, cause its a result of fear/lashing out and also some self-hate/pity too. (and hes pretty mean but in a weird way hes kinda aiming to piss off the other person- like that was his intention with todd 2x07- to push him away) the other anger is just the total opposite- its this cold quiet seething rage. its almost pure hatred in nature and its eerie. isnt seen too much because it takes a lot for him to get that, either that or hes just so Over Everything and theres Nothing Left to feel anymore

♥ - family headcanon i know this was in the show bible and probably is no longer a thing in the shows canon anymore, but i do like the idea that farah comes from a decently large family and has several siblings- all brothers. her family isnt the most openly affectionate, just isnt their style and eddie is the sibling farah is closest too although the family dynamics have always been a bit strained, especially with farah feeling like she has too prove herself whilst feeling out of place with her family sometimes. its not awful by any means- but there were hairline cracks yknow her new found family with dirk and todd is a very different dynamic, cause theyre pretty openly affectionate people. its weird and kinda overwhelming at times and intense (but hey, she likes intense)

♒ - cooking/food headcanon todd can cook- hes no masterchef, but he can cook and hes easily the best cook of the agency trio. he rarely cooks for himself though- basically lives on takeout or minimal effort meals like cereal or sandwiches. he cooked very regularly for amanda, especially when she was sick (her comment in 1x01 about eating healthy makes me think he was making her meals) but even before that i think he was cooking for her in their childhood too, when their parents were working late but didnt want their kids ordering takeout all the time he also enjoys it because it keeps his hands busy (i hc he fidgets with his hands a lot) and cooking for others means hes needed and he likes knowing hes needed

thanks for the ask! 💖

dirk's midlife (life expectancy of like. 40) crisis ult dirk alter

The way some homestuck fans will say they like a character or think their writing is great and then proceed to describe the most fucking negative, noncanonical, baffling view of who that character is should be studied. The post canon content's decision to just fucking shoot characters with the evil beam that makes you uncharacteristically evil has truly done fucking unfixable damage to some of the best parts of the comic in terms of the fandom's perception of certain characters and who they are.

I LOVE HOW FLAWED THE ALPHA KIDS ARE!!! So many people hate a specific Alpha Kid or something but their character flaws are genuinely so realistic because they're all 16-year-olds! Jane is just a wonderfully written female character that doesn't fall into the trope of "My only negative emotion is sad because women are sad". She's allowed to be angry, but that same anger can cause her to lash out at her friends in a realistic way, for example, Roxy. On top of this, she arrogantly believes that she's in the right all the time and constantly corrects other people, which allows The Condense to take control of her because Jane foolishly believes that Roxy's "Batterwitch" stuff is nonesense.

Jake is constantly trying to impress his friends by exaggerating his "adventures" and masculinity to try and seem more interesting. But due to this compulsive need to seem impressive, along with his utter social isolation, he can come off as self-centered and genuinely doesn't understand other people's struggles and fails to communicate his boundaries with Dirk properly.

Dirk is obsessive and possessive of all his friends, especially Jake, but because they don't perfectly fit the vision he has in his head for them, he tries to push them to become better in ruthless and harsh ways, for example, sending a whole robot to Jake to fight, only for that robot to not actually be catered to Jake's fighting capabilities, either being too soft or way too hard, because he cares more about what Jake can become, than accepting him for who he already is, which would literally solve 99% of Jake's problems anyway.

Roxy is a unique case. She's one of the few characters who genuinely acknowledges her problems and takes steps to better them, but of course, she still has her problems. She wants to be loved and validated due to her isolation and can make seriously crass remarks when it's not appropriate (like when she was considering getting with Jake right after Jane's breakdown). She's needy, affection-starved, and desperate for validation. She still has flaws outside of her alcoholism and that's genuinely amazing. Most writers would make it so that Roxy's drinking would be her only problem but it isn't. Roxy is absolutely my favorite Alpha Kid because of this!

it would be funny as fuuuuck if postgame dave (now out transfem) was watching thru all of alpha daves movies and shit one by one with dirk (they started before dave came out transfem theres just a fuckload of these films) and at some point dave is just like "dude i think your timelines me was already living as a woman in private or something im seeing shit in these movies thats like exactly what i would have put in there if i was feeling a bit pissy about having to pretend not to be a girl when im doing public shit as a movie making dude. i think i can pinpoint exactly when she started doing it too i it was like right between sbahj 47: 3 and sbahj: the sbahj brigade general fuckington special. like everything from fuckington special onwards has a less repressed feeling but even more anger about how dumb and limiting the world is" and dirk is just sitting there going insane cuz this is the only thing dave has said abt these movies that even vaguely resembles the kind of insane analysis dirk had done on them

IM GETTING DOWN ON ONE KNEE RN ANON U UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY LETS GET MARRIED

[bustedtech]

has a visual image of dirk and dave gossiping and getting really really into it but theyre both still trying to shake off emotionally stunted as fuck so they have all the passion and anger but all in that flat, monotonouns "whatever" strider tone. and dirk is painting daves nails the whole time ofc

[clockworkcheetah]

character bingo: Dirk.

i wouldve struck the 'never done anything wrong in their life' but ehhh im sorta starting to dislike that mentality associated with dirk

🧢 Bro Strider x Reader headcanons Help one more time 🗡

When Dirk had a baby in his arms, he did not know at all what to do. He didn't know how to take care of children, and when little Dave cried, he tried to calm him down the way he could. This went on until in the middle of the night, when he was trying to calm Dave down, there was a knock on the door. You were standing on the threshold of his apartment. You and Dirk knew each other, you were his neighbor, but you didn't usually talk much. You came to complain about the noise, but when you saw your neighbor very tired and with a baby in his arms, you were very surprised, but your anger subsided. Instead of being mad at him, you offered to help him calm the child down

Unlike him, you knew how to take care of children. In another situation, he wouldn't have accepted your help, but he hasn't slept much in the last few days, so he agreed, handed Dave over to you and went to bed. When he woke up, he saw that you were peacefully rocking the baby in your arms, singing a lullaby. Dirk didn't understand how you managed to calm Dave down, but he was grateful to you. You gave him some advice and then left, but pretty soon Dirk himself appeared on your doorstep, asking you to help him again with taking care of his, as he said, younger brother

You began to help Dirk regularly, spending time in his apartment more often than in your own. You taught him how to take care of a child, helped him with cooking and sometimes with cleaning. Dave grew up and became as attached to you as he was to Dirk. You weren't sure about all the things Dirk taught and was going to teach Dave, but he was his guardian, and you were just giving advice that he had every right not to follow. Dirk was grateful to you for helping him and he was glad that you were spending time together. He's become as attached to you as Dave has. After an exhausting day, you could watch movies together, and then fall asleep on the couch. You cooked food together, although you most often took over the cooking, being not very confident in Dirk's culinary skills, and he was absolutely not against eating the food that you cooked

When Dave first called you family, you were moved to tears. You didn't think that this little kid would consider you as close as his brother. Dirk, looking at you and your emotional reaction, he was completely okay with you being part of their family. He himself has managed to get into your feelings and would like you to be able to raise him together. It wasn't the easiest thing to do, but he was sure that it was easier to cope with taking care of the child together than if he tried to cope with it alone

Growing up, Dave knew that he had a Bro with whom he had a rivalry, but he respected and admired him, and there was you, his Sib, who took care of him, who was the one who was always ready to listen to him, help and reason with Bro when he overdid his pranks. You were a family and he hoped that it would always be like this. He hoped that he would always have a family by his side, even if he would never admit it to anyone
