Let’s just take a look at how much Dirk cares for fashion and looks – especially considering he’s all alone in the middle of an ocean.

Dirk Strider and his Sweet Fashions – An Appreciation Post

Just picture that teen boy in his apartment, trying his best to look like a real cool bro and so concerned with how rad he looks.

When there’s literally no chance of anyone coming over or walking in on him.

Ever.

Yet he’s not only wearing his anime shades all day, he apparently carefully styles his hair every single morning (and is genuinely worried about his hairdo getting ruined).

What’s more, he really loves checking out his totally rad outfits!

And musing on how they make him look and what they say about him

– he even chooses outfits fitting for the mood and occasion.

(while still being the only human in 2000 miles radius)

PS: Dirk neatly hanging up his clothes while showering makes so much more sense now.

He’d so love to be the coolest kid in the scene and the chillest dude at the party. He’s got it all worked out.

God I can’t take this boy, it’s all too adorable, silly and actually really horribly sad.

sometipsygnostalgic:

the many similarities between dirk and terezi:

  • a fondness for horribly destroying plush puppet rumpus
  • ironic pointy glasses ninjas 
  • draw no better with a tablet than without
  • raised by themselves miscellaneous demi-sentient objects (puppet/egg) in the middle of fucking nowhere troll-land
  • have knights as dancestors
  • have impressed roxy lalonde
  • love messing with dave, unfortunately for him
  • something something brainghost dirk
  • have been forced to kill themselves and/or stabbed with their own signature swords at least once
  • tried to kill aranea
  • at least 1 item from each bears retcon significance
  • can be overly apologetic and selfcritical
  • but dont troll these guys. just dont. for your own safety.
  • oh my god theyre going to troll each other

okay, random thought here, but do you think it’s possible Jade gave all the dead guardians a traditional Harley funeral while on the boat? and there’s just a stuffed Dad, Mom, and Bro in John’s attic that no one remembers until years later?

Role of the Innovator – The Witch

Those born
with the Role of the Witch are ambitious and practical. They
desire bringing a change they perceive as positive to the world around them,
and may just as well change themselves to suit a more idealised self.
Passionate about that which they love, they can be heavily influenced by their
interests and by their surroundings, and show the same amount of passion about
that which they hate. Witches dislike wasting time, and would rather use their
resources and energy in furthering their goals, which makes them reliable when
it comes to find a practical solution. However, this trait is a double edged
sword, as they may quickly dismiss that which they can’t grasp as easily, or
which requires an inordinate amount of time and effort from them, preferring to
focus on their own interests and making them avoid what isn’t worth their time.
First impressions are important for them, and they can be quite stubborn about
what they do and do not enjoy. At their best, they’re positive, hard working
dreamers. At their worst, they can be neglectful, resentful and closed-minded.

Witches’ lives are permeated by the presence of their Aspect,
partially in their interests and that which they want to bring change to, and
also as an element of their environment bringing change to them, and which they
may overcome. They are not pushovers, but bad influences in their surroundings
can easily wear a Witch out, and eventually, consume their passion and will. As
such, in order to be happy, they must cast away these oppressive forces that
try to impose on themselves, assert their agency and ideals. For, once a Witch casts
aside that which has been holding them back, their sights will quickly set on
their goal, efficiently, and without a rest.

Being one of the Innovator Classes, Witches are the Active counterpart to the
Heirs, and similar to them, their strengths lie in Changing things.
Transforming, Modifying and Manipulating their Aspect, themselves, others, and
their surroundings as they see fit, a Witch’s powers’ versatility knows no
bounds. Much like how they change everything through the use of their Aspect,
even the tides of battle quickly shift under the heel of a Witch. Efficient in
combat as they are with everything else, it’s better to stay out their way,
lest they cast a spell on you.

i’ve been thinking about A Spark, A Flame, A Fire recently, so I wanted to ask if Jake ever gains an official position in Derse? Royal Consort? Grand High Babysitter? i know his place in the kingdom was left a little ambiguous in the end, but I just wanted to know you had any ideas.

callmearcturus:

Oh.

Did I never tell y’all that story?

The story of how Jake settles awkwardly into the position of the Companion to the House of Derse, with no official standing but undeniably a part of the household. He is Dirk’s right hand, and attends all the events he can in part to alleviate Dirk’s stress. He always gets the final dance of the night before Dirk retires, always.

But that doesn’t stop people from wanting to merge their house with Dirk’s and making offers for Dirk’s attention. It’s a constant strain on Dirk, when politesse prevents him from outright refusal, but it’s just such a waste of his time.

In a year or two, Jake grows tired of it too, and asks Roxy for her assistance getting word back to Prospit. He sends official word that he is abdicating his place in line for the throne.

(See, Dirk cannot marry Jake while he is an heir to Prospit, it would be an act of war without question.)

Dirk only finds out when the rest of the world hears the news, and knows what the gesture means, and is fucking relieved to marry Jake. So Dirk becomes King, and Jake is Prince-Consort.

(Also, in one final goodbye, Jane sends along Jake’s grandmother’s ring to use for the ceremony.)

Darling Dolorosa, my original track from the latest update.

My goal with this track was to create an alternate version of Darling Kanaya, except more reverent and mature.

The first few notes the track are similar to the first few notes of Kanaya’s theme, but the songs quickly differentiate from there. Two people that are initially the same… I like that concept.

Crab Waltz, my new track from the latest update.

Andrew asked if it was possible to make a more downbeat version of Karkat’s Theme. I started from scratch, creating a version without the goofy sound effects but keeping the eclectic orchestral-chiptune palette.

It starts a little slow, but I think it fits the mood. Unlike the original track, this isn’t a song about an irate leader on the warpath – it’s about a messed up kid working his way through his own disillusionment.
