One of the things I don't talk about much, but is important to understanding Dirk and Jade's relationship (and one of their biggest parallels), is how both are prone to placing heavy expectations on their previous partners.

Dirk's tough love for Jake, giving him Brobot to train and make him tougher. The marriage between Jade and Dave in the post-canon. (Note: I read both of them several years ago, and my memory is poor.)

So when they both begin to connect and deepen their relationship, they both have this fear of repeating the same mistakes that ended their past relationships, including placing unrealistic expectations on each other.

Yes yes yes!!

One of my fav things about why I like Dirkjade it's because they see each others hearts and true beings, "I see who you are, your struggles, your fears, your joys, your goals, you don't need to hide form me".

They would not be scary to show their worst or vulnerable form to the other because the other actually understand. Jade is not always sunshine and flowers, Dirk is not the mastermind he tells you he is.

Also Jade Route by Spicyyeti have a small moment of Dirkjade (it's more like ultdirkultallie?) if you didnt know about it!

(Ironic) DirkJade rant

(4/14/25) I feel like the true core of DirkJade are their themes of isolation. Walk with me here. Not the “I’m alone in the void” kind (CallieRoxy is unironically a really interesting example of this specifically!!), but the more subtle kind: Being surrounded by people who think they understand you, when really, they’re projecting something onto you that isn't quite real. This happens to other characters too, obviously--Most notably Jake who I feel is incredibly relevant to DirkJade's relationship, and I'd like to dissect that too--but for those 2 it's kind of in the exact opposite ways? Jade is usually seen as someone who needs to be protected or supported. She’s sweet, Spacey (laugh now), emotionally warm. Meanwhile, Dirk is the opposite: he’s positioned as someone others rely on. He’s the guy with the plan, the one who’s supposed to have everything under control. These are both curated versions of themselves that they built up for the express purpose of hiding who they are.

"Just ship DirkJake/DaveJade, it's like DirkJade but better" the appeal of DirkJade, at least for me, is the fact that it's a rudimentary version of both Dirk's dynamic with Jake and Jade's dynamic with Dave. I like the fact that they have almost no basis for an actual relationship outside of observing the similarities between their respective family members. It doesn’t have the emotional payoff baked in—you’d have to build it from the ground up, and that’s what makes it fun. I imagine it would start kind of awkward. They’d probably keep measuring each other against the people they’re used to being around. “Jake would’ve laughed at that,” “Dave would’ve handled this differently”, etc. But over time, they’d start seeing each other for who they actually are. That kind of growth would be super slow, but super rewarding. Especially since both Dirk and Jade have a tendency to pull back the metaphorical (and sometimes literal) masks of the people they care about. They’d eventually start doing that for each other, which is where the real emotional weight would come from. My head automatically converts this to post-canon with ult Dirk & Calldie (Alt Callie + Jade) but that’s a more intense dynamic so I think most people would prefer pre-timeline-split DirkJade.

Anyways yeah I just wanted to add some of my thoughts. You don’t have to like them romantically (you do) but I think more people should (are required to) explore the facets of their hypothetical dynamic.

Art block is still kickin I guess.

Jade may be puppy but Dirk is the clingiest, like a cat that can't let you go to the bathroom alone.

Imagine gigant Jade exploring the galaxy, she brings Dirk with her and put him in her pocket.
