One thing I see way too much is people making Dirk extremely rude to the other alpha kids.Also the gay thing, I’m gonna get to that. People tend to focus on these things a lot, like. Seriously, you’re allowed to run around being all like, “Well my Dirk likes My Little Pony and anime, so fuck you!” I’m not here to gatekeep, I’m just saying. You can say it’s in the past, and I wish it was true, but I’ve seen it crop up a little. This one is biased and is more due to my qualms with Old fanon Dirk, the 2012 teenage boy who was a weaboo and a brony.Seriously, be careful with how many times he says bro and dude in the span of 5 sentences. That’d be greedy and also pretty monotonous to read. Unlike the problem in the Jake tips, Dirk is usually pelted with a shitload of bros, mans and dudes, he does use that language quite a bit but it’s sprinkled generously throughout his pesterlogs, it isn’t jammed into the apple crumble.If he truly does not give a shit about whatever you’re talking about to him, he’ll make it clear, he doesn’t just sit there and go “Uhuh. He has a personality and he isn’t a plank of wood, he has his interests and he’ll humor your thoughts. Dirk isn’t built like a robot, he does emote through his text (usually in ways that come off as a little passive aggressive, I really doubt it’s Always intentional). Making Dirk extremely boring, monotone completely and never expressing literally anything, not even frustration.The mistakes I usually see people make are: He just also kinda stands there, does some romance shit, then fucks off back to his apartment or whatever. The Background Dude who does and says nothing important, just kinda stands and nods his head as the main characters prance around.Įither that, or he’s The Boyfriend™ who does nothing but exist to be Jake’s boyfriend and contributes absolutely nil to the plot. I’d like to add before I delve into the list, in most of the Dirk-related fanfics I have read he’s usually like. Call this a self-callout if you will but yet again, these are from personal and secondhand experience). ![]() (Yet again, I’m not spared from this, as someone whose actually written for Dirk before, I’ve made a lot of mistakes. I’ve read a lot of fanfiction involving Dirk and seen a lot of Dirk roleplayers in action, I’ve also noticed a few miscalculations and misjudgments of his character. When it comes to writing for Dirk, you need to take into account theĬircuitous vocabulary, one big batch of fucks and shits, the little passive aggressive and catty jabs, an arguably cold tone, the colorful analogies and the snarky cynicism. The dude has a fairly low tolerance for bullshit. Dirk isn’t as polite to people as Jake is though, if he doesn’t wanna talk to someone, he’ll make it clear. Thing is with his cussing, he doesn’t have a tendency to cuss people out (excluding Hal/AR but he only calls him a dumbass and a jackass), it’s more to just add expression to sentences, a little fuckin’ emphasis never hurt anyone. He swears a lot, holding the title for the alpha kid who cusses the most. OUTPUT: “ All I can tell you is that the artifice you’re performing here, is absolutely farcical.” I’d describe it with a Dirk translator, being: Roseways: He’s wordy like Rose in the sense that he has a very extensive vocabulary.ĭaveways: He’s wordy like Dave via fruitful metaphors.īoth of these combine to form being wordy in ways that I can only describe as Dirkways, he’s like the Verbal Antichrist. I obviously am not a Dirk Strider expert but I hope the shit I have to say clears things up, or helps you with roleplay/writing a little.ĭirk is a tough cookie to break down, he’s wordy in 2 main ways. ![]() ![]() Wanted to do a second one, if you haven’t already you should totally check out my Jake guide.
