It's difficult for Dirk to separate what he thinks of Dave versus how he feels about Dave which is just. DERE DERE DERE bro .////. aaah bro.

Dirk thinks Dave is precious and perfect and brave. :x Because we has obviously raised in this environment where talking about feelings was a thing not to do, but he still does it to positive effect! He does feel the need to push him a little--because Dave obviously has problems admitting his problems (Ironically??? because Dave talks about his problems all the time, just not... in the framework of problems) so Dirk is already sort of taking on this paternalistic attitude of "I know what's good for you." and frankly, he is not as good as checking himself on that as he thinks he is.

He is kind of alarmed at how Dave was raised as basically... starved for love and affection and stability and he thinks Dave himself does not realize how open he actually is about his emotions. (Which is adorable) He thinks Dave is really discouraged with his own combative personality and he really just wants to be accepted and belong--which Dirk is basically tripping all over himself not to give him all in a rush. He feels really at home hanging out with Dave and deeply appreciates how honest and accepting Dave is with him.

Reeeeverse.

The most difficult part for Dave was the disconnect between his Bro and Dirk, where Dirk was a little overwhelming at first because of his open discussion of emotion (??!???!?!!) and acceptance of Dave's personality - which basically no one in aather had really given him without a fight up til that point. It's a big part of the reason he's accepting of Dirk, because he's easy to talk to and tends to get his points without getting angry at him. If he was consciously aware of Dirk making him talk about his problems, he would probably get peeved, but it's actually something he falls into easily because he's wanted to talk about for a while. It's hard having daddy issues.

And he's right, Dave is frustrated with his own combativeness, but he doesn't want to give it up at the cost of his own personality. When he hangs out with Dirk (or Rose and Tavros) he tends to feel the best about that, and Dirk's managed to work his way into top tier levels of caring while skipping the "huge fight" portion of the Dave Strider befriending process, which is kind of a miracle. He thinks Dirk in general is a pretty cool guy (albiet with some weird horse-related things) and looks up to him a lot (not that he'd say it), and really admires his stable relationships and team-bonding and all that shit Dave only barely manages to keep together.

is dirk ready for his nut bustin'

He doesn't believe Dave will actually go through with it.

You can't nail your bro in the nuts, dude.

Dave, your feleings on fuckin' your bro.

[scratched]

ITS COMING hide your nads

lmfoa o fuckin bro yeaaah he's still a little lost on how to feel about that particular whammy, but it isn't so much that the bro-thing is the problem as much as it is about not only is it super gay but wow sex that's pretty big. it's a BIG DEAL despite the fact Dave was raised by a porn empire owner and the internet, he's kind of a prude, and people just coming out and talking about boning and boning everywhere is pretty confusing territory. He's coming around to the idea, mostly because he feels like even if he does fuck it up they'll still be bros, and he likes the compliments and attention. He isn't as bothered by the fuckin' a dude thing (well the dude aspect, it's the fucking thats the nervy bit) as he says, it's mostly just a cover for nerves.

reverrseeee it

Dirk is pretty psyched he is even considering it! But he's not in a rush. Dirk enjoys sex and is excited to do it and obviously not a prude, but he enjoys it because of the closeness and intimacy and touching. He wasn't kidding when he said he'd be cool if Dave turned him down, as long as Dave would still be down with lots of platonic touching.

Do you have plans plans in the works for Dave? Like memories you are planning to give him?

[scratched]

Actually yeah, I was planning to give him his memory of talking to Davesprite and getting SWEET LOOT to give him some idea of the time travel shit and his powers. He has been not-time dude for long enough I'm ready to pull out some back to the future references. It might help a little with the confidence shit too - at least before he remembers his own self-deprecating shit like coin-flip dave debacle.

what did dirk think about seeing ~Bro~

[protagerrant]

1. I’m pretty hot and manly damn
2. AND I get the wear a hat.

He did not mind Dave getting his ass kicked since it was in the context of a a strife BUT he was kind of annoyed and alarmed that his AU older self didn’t stick around to like... take care of him after or tell him good job (Dirk thinks Dave was pretty awesome) or anything. He wanted to point out that that was kind of a dick move, but he is careful about what he says around Dave.He doesn’t want to give the impression that he is trying to replace or be better than Bro. He... understands Bro, a little bit, but there’s also a part of him that’s kind of pissed at what he perceives as his AU self not loving or appreciating Dave.

Dave, your thoughts on the sloppy (???) makeouts with your bro.

[scratched]

ps bro you could wear a hat now you giant nerd

IT WAS an interesting experience and while he doesn't regret it exactly he's already pretty deep in his guilty feelings about Rose - so in general he's just not thought about it much since it's happened. If he does it's one of those moments where you just have to sit down and be overwhelmed with embarrassment for a while. If Dirk tries to bring it up he'll probably be cagey as hell about it while he goes through the "kissed a dude and i liked it" torments. He'd do it again though - he has to restore his honor, because dang he is a Strider there is no excuse for sloppy form. That said he's a little worried about how much Dirk's team is going to figure out, because yeah he trusts his bro not to outright say, but like okay they went in the basement and dave left in an embarrassed hurry really how hard can it be to puzzle that out.

Everything about it was precious and perfect?? Everything about it made Dirk feel good and confident about this thing with Dave.

1. Dave made the first move.
2. Dave made the first move.
3. Shyly held his hand while he kissed him!!!!
4. It made him nervous but he did it anyway. :X TWICE.
5. But, most importantly, he didn't feel the need to push himself more than he could handle.

The last one is the biggest deal to Dirk by far, since even now he is wary of how overbearing he can be. Dirk is about quality over quantity when it comes to touching and for all the kissing meant to him emotionally it might as well have been a blow job.

Dirk is super content to proceed at Dave's pace, since he finds it incredibly rewarding when Dave trusts him.

Dave's impression of Jason?
