This is a rant I've been meaning to get off my chest for a while, but the conception on Tumblr, AO3, and sometimes here, that Jake is capable of "teasing" Dirk, and all that implies, irks me deeply.

Let me be clear: Jake English is not self-aware. He, in Canon, never does anything resembling self-awareness, maturity, emotional boldness, or anything else that requires a spinal column. This includes apologizing to anyone, talking about his problems in a way that doesn't end up being selfish, teasing someone, particularly Dirk, or transitioning. (I maintain this especially; he does not have the boldness, maturity, self-awareness, or nerve to have transitioned his gender presentation pre-Act-6.)

He has an *understanding* of pranks, if we allow Paradox Space as evidence, but that's it. He makes *Tavros* look like a fully-roleplayed-into-Class-shift Lord.

You know what the popular Fandom perception of Jake, as a member of a DirkJake relationship, lines up with? *John*, before his main writing trait became a deep, all-consuming depression and repression thing.

Like, John’s original Act 5 and earlier characterization before his underreaction to his dad's death and the spiral that sent him down towards his current "transition would not save her" characterization is what people use for Jake (charming, funny, actually seems to have his shit together enough to maybe be transmasc (man, remember *transmasc John*?), and, most importantly, seemingly capable of dealing with the levels of vaguely sociopathic bullshit that an even-close-to-accurate Dirk would throw at him), but DirkJohn/JohnDirk is less popular, to the point of not having a consensus order, simply because Jake and Dirk are *coded* as liking each other.

I think a lot of people miss that DirkJake is fundamentally the Equius of relationships; Hussie isn't one of those writers that feels pride in finding pathos in the ridiculous, but spiteful glee and humor. He genuinely does not care if he accidentally touches people's hearts in a way that doesn't involve Dave, or *maybe* Vriska. The fact is, DirkJake is a joke relationship, which is spelled out very clearly in their conversation.

You know, their conversation. The one they have together. The time we see someone who is actual Dirk Strider, not Hal pretending, not Aranea co-opting a memory, not a Brain Ghost, talking to Jake. That time.

Yeah, that doesn't exist. DirkJohn has as much conversational basis as DirkJake.

Edit:

LESS! GAME OVER! "I FAILED"! LESS!!!

DirkJake is a joke, a long, subtle one being made on everyone who saw Dirk's affections and immediately wanted him to get together with his disabled(?) ongoing harassment victim. Hussie was having a lot of fun making it seem like Jake found it important in the Masterpiece, I'll tell you that much.

@thelifetimechannel/@geejaysmith/@clonerightsagenda did magnificently wringing blood from this stone, I really do mean that, their Alphas are genuinely written better than Canon for 3/4, but that's all it ever was; every DirkJake writer is the YouTube comments under [this video](https://youtu.be/B7bpv5xyrOY?si=wYTCFDHM5ZzOY8fp) saying Equius could ever have been more than what he was.

TL:DR

1, Jake is pathetic, and we should remember this.

2, Hussie is a jackass who hates us one and all for the sin of caring and everything he has done with this franchise since maybe EOY2 has had an ulterior motive, and we should remember this.

3, Most people who write longfics set in SBURBless AUs, whether normalcy or fantasy, and want to ship Dirk and Jake should really be shipping Dirk with John, since now that history of Dirk-Jake interactions that justifies the ship in-Universe is gone at the Author's leasure, John would have the dynamic they want, and they talk *exactly as much*.

4, If you want to trans Jake, [there's a sensible way to do that](https://archiveofourown.org/works/8619856), but there's no in-character way to make him transmasc.

5, Read DDOTA, I beseecheth of you. Like yeah the Striders are emotional to a kinda weird degree but apart from that they really got everyone down right.

I am not crazy. I'm just tired of being jerked around.

Specifically, by a racist who married under 0.5+7 and refuses to pay his employees. Occam's Razor specifically states that "when we get three months of 'Vriska didn’t really do that much wrong, everyone forgives her, she just needs to forgive herself' which includes an armpit shot, and this is only stopped by an update involving the utter humiliation of Jake English the one time he grows a spine, maybe, just maybe, the man who has controlled this franchise the entire time still has some input."

Weird guy, Occam. But, spot-on.

(Look, when a well-known fanfic includes tearing a character's eyes out and making him a meat-puppet for homophobic gay Satan, and it's beloved for being *better* for him than official material, I think we can track the trail of hate.)

I don’t see how saying "he's still making the macro decisions" is controversial. I'm not saying he's making the art (the one thing the "reboot" has improved), or the specific dialogue typing (which has only gotten worse), but the structure and events are 100% Hussie. He hates us for saying "hey can we see the other 10 please that seems like a logical ask" and "hey what the fuck do you mean Caucasian", despite [the obvious solution](https://x.com/tylerthecreator/status/285670822264307712?lang=en) of just not paying attention to our emails, because anyone this devoted to making us miserable (why *Longstocking*, of all names?) is kind of a spiteful asshole. I mean, Openbound had to have been 3 of the 8 most time-consuming pages of the whole comic, and for what purpose?

This isn’t an insane claim: he has made this clear again and again. His emails about a video he didn’t read. His visual novel about refusing to admit any responsibility. The bonus where he talks to Dirk, dear God the bonus where he talks to Dirk. This is a man who, above all, loves two things-younger women and fucking with those who admire him-and hates two things-Pages and admitting that he ever made any poor writing decisions. I mean, have you ever read the book commentaries? Maddening.

If I may quote myself:

>Hussie isn't one of those writers that feels pride in finding pathos in the ridiculous, but spiteful glee and humor. He genuinely does not care if he accidentally touches people's hearts in a way that doesn't involve Dave, or *maybe* Vriska.

So, really, what I'm saying is... I'm tired of everyone granting Andrew Hussie the benefit of the doubt. He *is* writing whatever Homestuck 2 is calling itself now, and he *is* writing it to spite us.
