So many feels for Dirk
So yesterday I was filled with so many feelings about Dirk from Homestuck that I doodled some pictures of him on 3x3 post-it notes. I was pretty lazy in scanning them, so it's nothing exciting. But... so many feelings!
The thing about Dirk is that he's all cool and stuff....
... watching him slash battlebots is pretty awesome.
But he's also managing so many identities -- the brobot, the auto-responder, Lil' Seb, his dream self... that underneath all that bravado, he's stretched really thin...
And in the end, I'm just struck by how much of a Nice Guy he is, after you get past all the layers of irony and the bs of the auto-responder... He's basically helping everybody. It makes me think about how lonely his life must be, growing up in the middle of an ocean, with no one to talk to except people over the internet and the robots that he makes. No wonder he makes an auto-responder. So I drew a picture of young Dirk feeding a baby seagull.
(this one's on an index card)
I'm really worried, since he's dealing with BOTH Red Miles AND the battle bots, that his dream self might not survive. :-( (Not to mention that he's still technically Jane's server player, and UU was jeering him...)
Anyway, tl;dr: so many feelings about Dirk.
