I Feel Like Dirk Is The Type To Hear Someone Talk About How One Piece Is Super Long And They Can't Get

I feel like Dirk is the type to hear someone talk about how one piece is super long and they can't get into it and just go "I caught up to the manga in a night while making a robot"

And when asked what ereading device/site he used to read it he goes "I read the physical copies" without mentioning that the reality was having squarewave or sawtooth holding the book/turning the pages for him

Sometimes I think about regular names that fit the troll naming style and just- imagine if instead of the names we got one of the trolls was named something like Claire

Like no offense to people named Claire, I just think it would be silly to meet someone from a different planet just to find out they have an earth name

squarewave and sawtooth deserved more screentime

Like let the silly rapping robots do more shit

I had another thought about this: mans is the "he's trying" adult

Like I feel like when he learns something new about Dave's friends and he doesn't fully get it he'll still attempt to understand

Like he'd find out something like someone doesn't celebrate Christmas but still get them a gift card and just hand it to them on a random Tuesday in December like "Dave said you didn't celebrate Christmas and I didn't know if you have a specific day for gift giving so here" real awkward but like he has the spirit

Mans would probably respond to finding out someone Dave's friends with is trans or enby with "well.... do ya like katanas" or something

He would punch someone insulting Dave's friends while holding a beer in the other hand or like holding his hat down so it doesn't fall off

Sometimes revisiting old fandoms and remembering old aus you used to discuss gives you better clarity on a character's vibes.

Like with the aus where Bro Strider isn't a shit guardian just give me the realization that if that man hadn't been effected by possessed lil cal he would have been the perfect kinda fucked up southern uncle figure.

Like this man would sleep on the couch instead of his own bed with no blanket and would make Dave a bologna sandwich with Kraft singles cheese on it for breakfast while on the phone talking about how someone down the street tried to sell him drugs or something. This man would attempt to fix old four-wheelers in a shed he made out of wooden polls and sheet metal while Dave eats dirt and plays with a stray dog that shows up in the yard because Bro fed it hot dogs a couple times..... If you couldn't tell I wrote this forgetting they live in the city up until now but the point still stands

If I ever made a star wars Homestuck au I'd specifically include the scene where Anakin and Padme meet in an alley in the animated Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003) but where Dirk is Anakin and Jake is Padme and like c-3po is like sawtooth or something but mans still doesn't say much

Like I can see Dirk go from romantic moment with forbidden love interrupted to admiring like the plating on Sawtooth

I understand Kanaya is characterized as more gothic and proper, but deep down in my heart I can't help but imagine that in secret she'd wear a twilight hoodie while lounging on the couch and criticizing Midnight Sun with Rose for fun
