i haven't seen a dirkjake thread yet surprisingly so bam! everyone's favourite toxic yaoi discussion here
every homestuck character is a transsexual its true
I can't believe Dirk, a teenager, acted slightly clingy towards Jake during his first relationship and the first period of time he had ever been in contact with living IRL humans. Truly he must be the most evil, unforgivable man of all time... a historical monster. JAILED for slight clinginess crimes.
honestly the nerve of these two teenagers who have had little to no social interation. they should have known how to communitate better because we all know that teenagers are very rational, especially in their first relationships, especially when theyre gay. why didnt they just talk? its so easy, duh
miscommunication final bosses
i'm fujoshing out
dirkjake rewrote how my brain worked at the ripe age of 13. so proud of myself for growing into the gay man i am today
[WITTY REMARK HERE]
I will always root for their reconciliation (whether romantic or platonic), until the day I am no longer in this fandom.
Maybe I’m just too painfully sentimental to appreciate the direction they were taken in postcanon (how the epilogues handled them undid the peace I’d seen between them in Credits and it was such a hurt that when I heard of it I swore never to finish reading a single page of the epilogues), but I’m not one to accept the recent reframing of them as toxic yaoi. I was *there* in the days of the first dirkjake discourse, the arguments in A6A5 (late 2012 early 2013) over whether dirk was abusive or jake was an asshole. Been there, done that.
Perhaps that puts me outside the current cool folks table, leaving me one of the few still clinging to the old order of post-Credits dirkjake thought. So be it. Someone has to keep the fire from going out anyway.
