Davekat Week Day 7: Fluff

@davekatweek

my last and late entry for davekat week!! it’s been a blast but now my thumbs hurt so bad… totally worth it tho :33

Summary: Okay, so maybe you should’ve mentioned you have a kid already. That’s totally on you, but in your defense, no one ever sticks around when they realize you’re a single dad. Who would wanna spend their early 20’s taking care of somebody else’s kid? And sure, he’s technically your little brother, but most people ghost before they even get the full explanation. Maybe that’s for the best though, you’d rather eat glass than resort to trauma dumping via Tinder DMs for a stranger’s approval and some mediocre sloppy toppy. (Or, an AU where Dave is taking care of Dirk, and Karkat meets him for the first time)

Summary:

“Guys, hey, come on,” Jade says. “Troll language is much more specific about stuff like this, when he says stabbed he could mean something different! Karkat,” she switches to Alternian, bending her human vocal structures in painful-sounding ways but still doing a much better job than Dave, all things considered. “Stabbed, stabbed, or stabbed?”

You know you didn’t teach her the distinction between “poke hard with a non-strife-allocated object”, “stab lightly to show somebody not to fuck with you”, and “impale to kill”. Humans don’t even have that distinction. It’s a fucking miracle they get anything done.

“…Stabbed,” you say, carefully enunciating like a fucking liar.

I hope nobody is tired of reading incredibly self-indulgent “what if trolls were like 400% more alien” culture clash fic, because I’m sure not tired of writing it lmao

Coffee Jitters by Ozuzo

ok so this a Slowburn (who’s surprised?) and it’s the whole Dave is a barista trope etc. All the chapters are named after drinks with caffeine in them and it’s a rlly cute premise!!! I ADORE this one and I always find myself coming back to read this, and there’s also some Erisol in there aswell! Please read this ISTG it’s amazing (maybe check out the authors work!!)

Let Me Read Into This Incorrectly

The Bias Blinders are FULLY on, so this won't make sense at all unless you're deep in the dirkjohn swamp

I propose the following:

IF the Breath is the aspect of freedom and individuality

AND Heart is the aspect of identity and introspection

IF the Heir is the class of embodiment in the personal sense, embodiment for the benefit of an individual

AND the Prince is the class of destruction in the personal sense, to destroy through or to destroy in relation to the self

THEN an Heir of Breath inverts to Knight of Heart and Prince of Heart inverts to Maid of Breath

Which I believe are part of the ultimate forms of John and Dirk respectively

In the way Heir and Prince are connotated with royalty - or more generically, wealth and power, Maid and Knight are connotated with service, with providing for the benefit of others. Heir and Prince classes are both singular, buying into the so-called Hero's Journey (and the monomyth which isn't actually a thing). Whereas, a Maid and Knight are communal - they fuss a lot more with everyone as a whole.

This actually plays well with the different takes on villainhood brought on by Jane and Dirk. Jane took over a whole planet in service for the people she felt obligated to care for, maintaining a communal stake. Dirk took a spaceship, some select people, but it's compact - it's efficient - it's not a sprawling civil war, maintaining only antagonists with personal stakes.

So how do I loop this back to Dirk and John? Well, if the Ultimate Self is an aggregate of all instances of themselves in Paradox Space, then these should include the complete opposites of themselves.

A response to Candy John's follies is by learning to see the people around him as people, learning to start taking into account their wants and needs, learning to serve in accordance with a better awareness of their personhood - such is the role of a Knight of Heart

A response to Meat Dirk's folloes is by learning to let go and accept that which he cannot change, learning to cater another's need to be as they are, learning to provide that sanctuary for sincerity - such is the role of a Maid of Breath

This isn't to say that these inverted versions are the Best versions of who they are.

Like a KnightofHeart!John could seek to comfort his community because he's too afraid of conflict and pain, burying problems in the name of peace like how HeirofBreath!John does in the name of his so-called personal stability

A MaidofBreath!Dirk could likewise create the same divisions in his community by creating too many clashes (drama) between people, encouraging conflict for the sake of freedom of expression like how PrinceofHeart!Dirk encourages conflict for the sake of creating a very specific storyline

(Also the way a MaidofBreath and KnightofHeart could work so well together to strike the sweet spot of maintaining communal comfort while encouraging individuality)

It's more like looking at yourself through various funhouse mirrors, seeing different parts of yourself exemplified, and learning the way it's all somehow still you. That's what the Ultimate Self is (or should be), this constant, persistant conversation with yourself and with others vis a vis your perception of yourself

(Shoutout to Everything Everywhere All At Once, the only movie in existence, they demonstrated and executed this idea so much better and in a single storyline too)

tl;dr This is How Dirk and John Can Grow By Learning From Each Other, And Also Why They Should Kiss
