okay there’s this part in this fic where “dirk has a fantasy about bangin two johns” and i was so torn between this selfcest spitroast image and a stupid ass joke image that i colored two of them before eventually deciding. anyway, the jokey one made it in the fic. but here’s the colored-in alternate version.

## im love how u draw and write john... whats his deal im so excited to find out!!!! ur updates make my whole day dude

thanks!!!! have…. john riding a horse? these are getting weirder

this image is incorrect because there is a 0% chance John actually knows how to ride a horse. this is very clearly dirk’s Ultimate Fantasy and only that.

cyanideoreo replied to your post “im love how u draw and write john… whats his deal im so excited to…”

> are those his actual eyes or eyes drawn on his blindfold in sharpie by john

i mean, this is a fantasy au so he clearly paintbrushed it on

## ... does John ride sidesaddle? If so, is this due to (in Dirk's brain) a particularly vigorous rogering?

“rogering” is a good word. but nah. idk i thought that in this fantasy world where there aren’t any bullshit gender-specific modesty pressures, sidesaddle riding would be more of a class based status thing. you know, because you can afford to have someone help you mount the horse and lead you and teach you how to do it and stuff. also john would have to have a big ass nightmare horse to carry his big ass nightmare self so maybe it’s just more comfortable to ride it that way. but dirk probably didn’t think of the comfort levels, he just wants his fantasies to be sociologically accurate, dammit

although it’s not like john can do any of this shit. he probably would just like, float on top of the horse, use his 5th level D&D charm monster spell on it, and proceed to do ‘sweet horse tricks’ which would probably be weird, uncanny valley pranks involving whatever he could accomplish with a giant mind controlled draft horse.
