Holy shit I love your Dirk interpretations, it's so true and I could talk about this shit forever. I feel like another part of his character that people seem to forget (along with Roxy for some reason) is that he's from the future in solitude in an apocalyptic wasteland. I just see that part of his character always removed which is disappointing because I feel like that's a pretty big part, especially regarding his themes around technology, his brother's theme of Time, his own isolation, and how he plays in the vastness of the universe and spacetime.

Art I drew related to the subject because I like to respond to asks with art.

But absolutely. I certainly understand where the lack of discussion over his isolation + upbringing comes from, considering a majority of the fanbase that I have seen builds their ideas based on their own version of postcanon. I’m not entirely sure how that would be fixed, but certainly even in the somewhat recent past I would see a lot more content regarding his upbringing both literally and symbolically. I don’t have much to add regarding the things you’ve mentioned, because they just are what they are. Dirk being confined to a singular room left to him by a father figure he never met, in a future where the only other person left on the planet is someone he cannot pursue a relationship of because of himself, with purely 3 robots to keep him companion, one being an exact replica of his own brain who is *also* trapped inside a pair of glasses, is about as literal as it gets to me.

The contrast to me involving the flooded, organic world in comparison to the little speckle of Dirk’s apartment packed with the dude and his technics is not only a representation of his isolation and entrapment within himself, but also of his lack of control. I think his obsession with & themes of control are a direct product in the case of Dirk specifically *of* this kind of upbringing. His themes of technology are also related to his themes around control. So much of his character is actually revolved around this to me like so much. Dirk is so deeply disconnected from humanity in every way and so much of his character + symbolism is based around that.

It doesn’t even have to be about the symbolism or anything though. It’s just pretty *interesting* in the literal sense that he lives in the middle of the ocean in the future. There’s not only a lot to theorise on to do with his young life there, but on how it might affect him in the way he acts for the rest of his life. The latter part is probably what I see mentioned the most by people talking about Dirk regarding this, I’m surprised I don’t see more discussion on the former too though. I really ought to actually talk more about Homestuck stuff on here. I will do it myself.

Roxy & Dirk’s relationship is largely ignored though because there is a narrative a certain demographic spreads that Dirk resented and blamed Roxy for her interest in him, and thus too many people believe that their relationship was or would continue to be an abusive one. Realistically, I believe it’s important to acknowledge that the way Roxy treated Dirk regarding his homosexuality wasn’t right while still acknowledging the obvious amount of respect and admiration Dirk had for Roxy. I mean we have a huge piece of dialogue from their post trickster mode conversations on the quest beds from Dirk purely stating how he feels about Roxy that people completely ignore somehow. I think this usually happens to characters that are women though. I know everyone says it, but it is true. Jane gets the exact same treatment of boiling her down to solely her negative aspects. The things I see completely mischaracterising both of them are horrific.

I mean how much more explicit can it get that their relationship is obviously very important to Dirk? But I digress. I think the best or I should say “most interesting” interpretations of their relationship usually come from DirkRoxy shippers actually.

I would be interested to hear about Dirk’s relation to his brother’s theme of time though. I don’t have any thoughts on this and I don’t recall ever hearing anyone talk about it before. If you or anyone else would be willing to enlighten me I’d be thrilled.

i like to thingk bro had an STRONG fucking texan accent in comparison to dirk so when dave met dirk and he spoke relatively normal it was so jarring for him

[badlydrawndirk]

Need some help getting him off? I've been round this rodeo before.

I'm going to gnaw on your arm. Now.

-badlydrawnlilhal

…Ok.

[badlydrawnbabydirk]

// robro ref sheet cause I draw him off model a lot like a little dummy

[badlydrawndirk-old]

Hey. @notdrawnbro

Yeah. Uh... Hey. Just brooding on the implications of our collective morality, you know, dude stuff

[badlydrawndirk]

Opinions on bagels

I've never had one. I don't know how many times I need to reiterate that my only homes have been, middle of Butt-Fuck, The State Previously Known As Texas and currently The Void, God Knows Where.

[badlydrawndirk]

Sorry man, it wasn't intentional. I've just had tons on the metaphorical plate, most of it having to do with my limbs being suckled or completely bitten off.

Hey Jake. - worselydrawndirk

GT: Dirk!! Wonderful to hear from you, my good chum!!!

GT: You didnt tell me you had one of these as well!!

GT: Gotta keep me updated, bro!

[pleasantambivalence]

Sigh. Sigh.

[chessb0r3d]

i cracked the code.

[ghastlyaffairs]

for something as trivial and simple those feelings sure are hard to get rid of

also made a gif a version for fun + alt version with no tears under the cut

the gif is in very low resolution...this is a feature (i could make it bigger but that would require saving each frame individually and than glueing it all together. also i feel like low resolution suits it better. aesthetically and fits the mood)

[badlydrawndirk]

Holy fuck. Why couldn't have 13 year old me not being a such suckoff to himself and not make some robot beep-boop version of me? Then I'd have never have to deal with all these Hal splinters.

What the fuck is this shit? Why is there just a goddamn corner of my splinters? This is like if you lifted a log up and twenty million spiders came rushing out to try and kill you but instead of killing you they make you contemplate the truth about your identity. Not that I'd know what that's like. No logs for miles, or anywhere now that I think about it.

BRO: I ask myself that very question every day. Why are there so many of us poppin' in and out of my apartment? We're packed more tightly together then a bunch of goddamn sardines. Would appreciate some alone time and Not be surrounded by a thousand versions of myself. Surprised I haven't had some kind of full blown existential fuckin' crisis yet.

BRO: Sorry for givin' you one, though? Christ, can't exactly control where we ended up. Might as well have been someone pet spider they decided to abandon in a park or some shit.

BRO: Kinda surprised to see another Mini Me, though. I keep encountering Autoresponders.
