AS OF FEBRUARY 21ST, 2024, WE GOT FIVE DAYS UNTIL THE DAY OF DECISION OF THE KOSA BILL, WHICH WILL CAUSE MASS CENSORSHIP ROUND THE INTERNET IF PASSED. OR DOOMSDAY. WE NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS AND CONTRIBUTE. I’M NOT GIVING UP ON YOU ALL.
WE’RE DOWN TO THE WIRE BUT WE CAN’T GIVE UP YET. IF WE GIVE UP, EVERYTHING IS OVER. IF WE DON’T, AT LEAST WE HAVE A CHANCE.
I’M THE ONE WHO SOUNDED THE ALARM, AND I’M NOT GOING TO CURL UP AND DIE YET.

“Congress is trying to push through a swarm of harmful internet bills that would severely impact human rights, expand surveillance, and enable censorship on the internet. We’re demanding that Congress focus on passing badly needed comprehensive privacy legislation to actually protect us from the harms of big tech companies and data brokers, instead of pushing through misguided legislation like KOSA and EARN IT.”
This bill would also effect revolutionary spaces and organising. This level of censorship would be catastrophic to the revolutionary movement— to the Free Palestine movement, to anti-Capitalist organising, to all people seeking liberation. Facism is standing right in front of us and we must take it down.
they’re 17 and hate each other after some space-time shenanigans merged their apartments
alpha dave is struggling to figure out what she wants to do in life and is pretty grouchy about it
beta dirk is struggling with having lil cal around all the time. finally had enough after 17 years. supposedly.
idk i think about them at this age sometimes so i wanted to mush my headcanons of what they were doing around this point in time (sometime in the 90s) together and make them deal with each other
when they died i imagine they were both like. 36. 37. around there yk? so i wanted to piece together what they’d be like in that beginning to go from their ‘default’ selves (dave and dirk) into a/b Bro Strider :tm: phase
Thinking about your “i wasnt raising dave, i was raising the knight of time” quote from bro. Is that based on any line in homestuck or was that straight off the dome?
the answer is i THINK its me but it could also be half from a fic? i think i osmosised it over the years but its not in hs no
well regardless of where you got it from i really love that line, i think it adds an interesting angle to their relationship. what do you think bro knew about the nature of the game and dave’s destiny for him to think of raising dave that way? im also curious about the subject matter of the fics you may have gotten inspiration from
thanks i think so too
i dont remember unfortunately; in regards to the fics. i dont really read fics nowadays and i do tend to read short ones to avoid This happening- where i absorb something and forget about it
more about bro under cut
i feel like bro knew some things; i like to keep certain parts of the ‘game’ aspect of their reality away from them
like for example: bro doesn’t know EVERYTHING about what hes supposed to do. like he wasnt spawned in with I am A Guardian in his brain; he was a whole ass human person for 24 years until he got dave
growing up a lot of his information came from cal because since he was destined to be a guardian, he had nagging feelings in the back of his mind telling him to do certain things: get this apartment, do this that way, etc. and cal just enforced those
i think dirk’s reason for raising dave that way is a combintion of the fact that thats the only way cal(iborn) referred to dave and that bro was never allowed to actually bond with dave (because caliborn made him believe that platonic affection is in fact not platonic at all and is instead sexual[the implications when bro is constantly carrying around cal with his arms around his neck btw. insane.])
i’ve talked about it a lil bit with input from error707-thatdude (whos training to dooooo… something w psychological development of kids or something? sorry i forgored) on stream and the lack of interaction/affection can be potentially fatal to human children
so every time dirk wanted to do what honestly, his instincts were telling him to do (hold dave, be gentle [even if stiff]) , he wasn’t able to because he had caliborn in his ear whispering that he was being deeply fucking inappropriate with his goddamn son which . Jesus Christ. (ive come to the conclusion bc of this that the daves we see in canon are the daves that made it past childhood, as error707 said: the exceptions)
the fact that caliborn constantly told him about how dave was the knight and he needed to be the knight. he needed to enter the medium. if he didn’t enter the medium then everything that dirk’s entire life has been leading up to has been a disappointment, a mistake, and he doesn’t want to disappoint his very dear best friend cal does he? hee hee hee.
he also told him about how dave is SUPPOSED to be. cool, stoic. that kinda stuff, bc calibrn has a bit of a gay thing for both of them im sure.
+ the deep feeling inside of dirk that he Knew cal was right (something something; destiny/fate/will of the universe/etc), that dirk existed to do this; to get cal into the medium, to get dave into the medium, to make them stronger, led to dirk thinking of dave as his goal instead of anything remotely resembling family-
all of that accumulates into his brain dissassociating dave from himself as family and instead as a goal and a figure of something he NEEDS to polish or it wont work when the gear is inserted into the frame
things like this are delicate and they HAVE to be taken special care of during assembly, or you’ll be left with nothing. (go watch how its made- wristwatches. its like that.)
sorry if all this doesnt make sense; feel free to ask for clarification and ill happily provide
Do you hate Dirk/jake break up angst along with the dirkjake ship as a whole? I just find the break up arc to be one of dirks best
i guess it depends on when one considers the break up arc to start? i do kinda like it and i like that dk/jk Happened, just not like… romantically anymore
i think they should stay broken up but remain buddies
jake just reads aroace spectrum to me
he deserves to sit on an island or whatever he wants and just be left alone
