hello children. i think that dirkroxy is like designer yaoi. like for example davekat is more storebought yaoi. davekat is sort of the converse of yaoi--its cheap, stylish, comfortable and is accessible to basically every person in the modern world. comparatively, dirkroxy is like prada or dior or something. its specifically a challenge to imagine a situation in which dirk and roxy can have a *healthy* romantic relationship, and building that scenario was my goal in Y12K. but ill say that from homestuck 1 their chemistry is so scrummy that i even like the unhealthy incarnations of this ship LOL. i like the concept of hsbc dirkroxy being something like baby-trans roxy feeling all this "i wanna be recognized by you" reverence for dirk, and dirk perpetually running from/avoiding roxy because he knows if he talks to trans roxy that he'll unavoidably face a paradigm shift on his rigid, toxic and WRONG view of gender...he cant protect himself from roxys point of view because roxy is the one person he really respects... so theyre both wracked with total insecurity in relation to each other that doesnt allow them to see the other's true self. I THINK IF THEY HAD A CONFRONTATION IN HSBC IT WOULD BE SOOO MESSY BUT THEYD BE FEELING THE CHEMISTRY HEJSHSGKSDAEHEKSA?
