Hey I imagine a discussion between Dave and Karkat when they first had Jack and Corvi about what was more difficult to take care of; a wiggler🐛 or a baby👶?

PREACH TEREZI, PREACH

PREACH TO THE HIGH HEAVE--

GOD DAMN IT DIRK FUCK OFF I WANT MORE TEREZI ACTION

[maybe-its-just-cringetown-love]

So I've watched most of the shows in

This Genre

Sandman

Good Omens

The Umbrella Academy

Dirk Gentlys Holistic Detective Agency

Doom Patrol

Ya get me, this genre of storytelling.

Twisty and gay, power of friendship saves the day, lot of weirdness.

Also, 'everything is connected' there's a scientist, there's magic, maybe time travel, ghosts, the living dead, great outfits, aesthetic, killer soundtrack.

Legends of Tomorrow and The Raven Cycle also fit here.

So, kind people, any recommendations for similar shows?

Alr; here's a sad REF-Sheet on how I think displays of emotion would work; for the reptile fellas in TLKOE

(Based upon what i've seen of Skaelka; quill-like features replace hair. So; I thought it'd be neat if they'd puff up, as porcupine quills do! if you can't read it; here's a better description of each phase.)

Phase 1; Neutral: the intensity of the emotion is low to non-existent at this point

Phase 2; Moderate/Irritated: The quills are noticeably raised, and a change in facial-expression is seen. They also begin to act differently towards whatever/whoever is causing them to feel this way.

Phase 3; Caution is Advised: this is when you should start being careful around them, or asking if they're alright. If the individual wants to be alone; keep your distance until they calm down enough to think rationally.

Phase 4; You're gonna fuccin die: There's a high chance the person is extremely violent, or doesn't know their own strength. So; it's best for both parties if you keep your distance. If not; you're going to be fucked (either in the killing sense, of sexually; depending on the emotion felt). The quills twitch erratically

How the emotions work; below the cut

Happy: the person is seen with a smile in their face, and/or a skip in their step. Their demeanor takes a positive change, and they're more willing to do bigger things; if something of equal value is done for them

Sad: Their quills flatten, and they gain a gloomy presence. They can cry like humans do, and they're much more volatile. Sadness can quickly switch to anger; especially if hand-in-hand with grief, and/or fear.

Anger: this is when they're most likely to maul someone. Profanities are going to be spewed; if he/she's mad enough, and they might beat the hell out of someone. They usually take a protective stance for those they care about; when in this state.

Fear: They're constantly on-guard, and alert; they are incredibly adept at hiding fear, but they're more twitchy during combat, or near what they see as a threat they can't kill without help.

Love: they're more interactive with their love-interest; much more willing to engage in friendly banter/small-talk with them. They're noticeably flushed, and if they have a tail; it's most likely wagging. The person is more willing to share information on personal events/trauma; because they believe they can trust their potential suitor/suitress.

Lust: (Once they get on this personal of a level with their partner) They won't hesitate to make their arousal known; often making subtly suggestive gestures in public (putting a hand on their partner's thigh, and/or whispering what they want in their ear), and openly asking for sex at home; however, they will not force their beloved into it, and will generously apologize if they push them. They believe that sex is FAR better; if both people enjoy it. Also; they're nearly insatiable, so if they try to court you (a human); good luck broski 🧑‍🦽

new addition after 3 years

[strider-odyssey]

I dunno if this shit is canon but when Jake had that Brain Ghost Dirk, I fr would think sometimes that when he jumpscares Jake. He would b thinking, “Oh zamn, not this short-tortie pantycrinkle bitchass ho again.” (I don’t know how to talk like Jake.)

IM TRYNA SEE YOU DRAW MORE DIRK BRO 🗣‼️‼️🗣🗣🗣 WHAT THAT PENCIL DO BRUH

[conceptofjoy]

I need to know how the alpha kids felt about sending arquius to the void because like. Hal is in there. Das ur friend... honestly I'm particularly curious about Dirk and Roxy's feelings

dirk's mental state has been shredded like uncooked hashbrowns, roxy is 'keeping it together' and channeling her emotions into unbridled rage shaking cal around before she sends him off into the void. they are all avoiding the massive elephant in the room being that he's definitely showing up again for their dancestors to deal with.

as for longer term emotions, bruh idk. there's not rlly a precedent to dirk's reaction to this kind of situation other than it being like. Bad. roxy doesn't know how to interact with his grief and honestly, her own.
