TW; abuse, manipulation But there's a pattern with Dirk and those he loves, probably playing into his godtier. But Dirk seems to try and manipulate someone to fit a mold he likes, even if he isn't aware. Like Bro made Dave fight and was always attacking him and scaring him to make him "stronger". And with Jake he built a fighter bot and set it to kill mode. (Either Dirk or Hal did but still) Does this play into his role as the Prince of Heart?

Dirk does seem to have a tendency to try and make others stronger, although that may be more of a Dirk Thing than a Prince of Heart thing. In fact, for Dirk rather than Bro, it fits Jake’s Classpect too. It does fit a Prince of Heart in a way, but Jake liking rowdy fisticuffs means Dirk has a reason to send him Brobot- He’s Serving him a little dream of his, except of course Dirk is absolutely god damn Extra and overdoes it heavily.
