ok no see I thought about this the entire time I was in the bathroom after replying to this, dirk shaves every morning despite his barren face and he hates the idea of himself with facial hair BUT THEN jake teases him and dirk sits there all day running himself in circles like ok… so…… does that mean……. he WANTS the facial hair? is he UPSET? would he PREFER I had a beard?? is he….. am I not good enough for him..??? what do I do…. oh shit…..
ANNNND THEN JAKE CATCHES HIM ON HIS COMPUTER AT 4 AM FEVERISHLY GOOGLING BEARD GROWTH TONICS AND IS LIKE “DUDE”
this one made me cackle out loud because i can see it so clearly. god my post is over, we’ve found the answer
Can’t believe Dave Strider canonically had what is probably the most compelling personal plot arc involving bisexuality I have ever seen in media, forever cementing him as one of my all time favorite fictional characters, right alongside his canon boyfriend, who is btw yet another fantastic bisexual character
So nice I didn’t have to sit through either of their sexualities being fetishized or played off as shorthand for any number of negative tropes that are linked by media to bisexuality every single day and instead just got to see a pair of nice kids who deserved better than they got figure themselves out over a quiet period of relative safety and end up comfortable and happy with themselves barring some heavily relatable nerves re: coming out/going public w their relationship
Glad everyone respects how important this narrative was for queer ppl of all types and ages to see out of an endgame canon pairing in a piece of popular media :^)
The world is ending. Dave Strider can’t tell if the bender he’s on is because of that, or because of how bad stuff is fucked up with Rose, or just because his own bullshit has finally caught up to him. All he knows is that if the world DOES end today, maybe that wouldn’t be the worst thing.Of course, he can’t throw in the towel. His fate is already written. He raises a resistance. He duels the false presidents. He stands against the Empress herself. So maybe that’s why Skaia allows a glitch that carries a consciousness across sessions that might save Dave’s shitty life.
Day 2 @dirkweek : Happy Dirk! Family movie night. Jake picked the movie, which really should probably never be allowed because he’d be happy with anything anyone else picks. Karkat is pointing out the many flaws, and Dave and Dirk are enjoying the movie ironically, everyone’s enjoying spending time with loved ones, and I’m rolling around from the cuteness. Also babbling again. Sorry. :x Enjoy!
i can tell you why kids love the taste of cinnamon toast crunch, but don’t ask me where the light source is in this picture, because i have no fucking idea.
Karkat: DON'T. SAY. A WORD.
Dave:
Dave: fergalicious
Karkat: I SAID NO WORDS DAVE!
Dave: oh i see. two weeks ago playing scrabble its not a word and now suddenly it is a word because its convenient for you
