you know I was thinking last night as I rewatched Being John Malkovich, a movie which always reminds me of dirk, about how he actually would've started out using somethingawful just due to timeline of his universe. the very first time he spent money on the internet was to unban his account

#dirk strider #karkat vantas #homestuck #he stole credit card information to do so #lucy art #self harm #sorry we haven't started the mspfas detailing dirks entire life saga with the dozens of hours we've talked about him yet including #abandoning slick to elope with his adopted son after months of antagonizing and hating him for being a spineless wimpy loser #with whom a more sincere relationship began in earnest through a polemic argument regarding being john malkovich #because up until that point he has only seen karkat in accompaniment to slick kk’s abusive father figure that dirk is also kind of dating so #he doesn’t see him being even remotely kind of a person up until this point like they actually square off over it and it’s a bonding #experience because dirk realizes karkat is very capable of getting a legitimate rise out of him in a way that is SHOCKINGLY a little fun and #enjoyable. and then with the help of karkat's inquisitve and sensitive eyes realizes he’s just retraumatizing himself and then they run away #and slick dies sonless alone bitter and angry from lung cancer he got from droog’s secondhand smoke
