#anyway dirk strider boils soda at 3am while listening to brony music. such is my decree

[4lph4kidz]

For the super cool character headcanons meme, what about Dirk Strider?

2-4 songs that are probably on their iPod

Disclosure - When a fire starts to burn (C2C remix) - I'll confess I don't know of a lot artists that use samples or turntables, but I like C2C's stuff a lot, so.

Hopsin - Rip Your Heart Out (ft. Tech N9ne) - as featured in House of Dirk!

Ken Ashcorp - 20 Percent Cooler - I... had to. I had to pick a brony song. but I unironically like Discord so instead I picked this one. It's referencing a Rainbow Dash meme specifically, written by a horny weeb musician to boot? C'mon.

SBAHJ the album - well obviously he has the movie soundtracks.

the one place they sometimes end up falling asleep – where they’re not supposed to

I hc Dirk having serious insomnia even after losing his dreamself so I'm not sure what kind of sleep schedule he even has? I invoke the rule of comedy to say he might be the type to occasionally pass the fuck out in the middle of whatever he's doing. In his workshop. On the couch. At the dinner table. Mid conversation. Out like a light. Goodnight, sweet prince.

the game they'd destroy everyone else at

Scrabble. Do not play Scrabble with this motherfucker. It's not worth it, he knows academic greek words with fucking x's in them and it's just too tiresome to argue with his pedantic ass about whether or not he's allowed to play them just because they're part of his daily vocabulary.

the emoticon they’d use most often

That stupid custom emoji with the triangle shades. (I love that Hal has his own version that's just the shades, btw)

what they act like when they haven’t had enough sleep

Again, I headcanon Dirk as the more deranged variety of insomiac who gets random bursts of manic energy and tends to makes Bad Decisions when he's sleep deprived enough.

their preferred hot beverage on really cold nights. or mornings. or whenever.

My clown instincts say this bastard will heat up soda and drink it. My 'reference Detective Pony' instincts say 'healthy soup'.

how they like to comfort/care for themselves when they’re in a slump

Self care is overrated. You work through that slump until you inevitably crash and burn and die, that's the Dirk Strider way.

Actual answer: I think if Dirk does learn to take breaks and stuff then he'd prefer physical activity, good way to work off energy and get some sweet sweet endorphins. Showers are a good way to self-soothe/stim also.

what they wanted to be when they grew up

Like three billion different things according to his introductory page. But I think his most heartfelt desire was to be a hero, like his brother.

their favourite kind of weather

Calm and sunny weather is the least bothersome to deal with in the middle of the ocean, but it can get monotonous, so part of me thinks he'd kind of appreciate the inherent drama of a good thunderstorm.

thoughts on their singing voice (decent? terrible? soprano? alto?)

I guess he probably has like, an OKAY singing voice? But prefers rap.

how/what they like to draw or doodle

I mean... we have some examples of the kinds of things he draws, don't we? But maybe he draws occasional fanart too.
