dirk is both one of the best and one of the most frustrating characters to analyze especially in a post epilogue world because at least 40% of what people say about him makes me think like. okay, well, you fell for it

Honestly the whole idea that aromantics are “banging without commitment” or “just using people for sex” is so toxic. Not just because it’s amazingly arophobic, but also because painting romance as the “admission price” for sex creates a sense of entitlement in romantic pairings. People love to switch out communication for expectations because it’s easier. But relationships are not supposed to be easy! And trying to make them so will only screw you over in the long run. Not everyone who wants you romantically is going to want to have sex with you. Not everyone who wants you sexually is going to want to date you. And that’s fine! They are not obligated to conform to your wishes, and you’re not obligated to conform to theirs. That’s why you always need to talk things out with your partner beforehand. Assume nothing, discuss all. End of story.

i can’t forget the one time i had to tell someone that fakeclaiming is actually ableist and, if you suspect someone is faking, publicly harassing them about the fact that you think their experiences are invalid isn’t the right thing to do

I keep seeing posts that are like "season 1 Tim would be friends with this character" or "season 1 Tim would make archives team watch trashy movies with him" or "season 1 Tim would do this, or this, and season 1 Tim is so friendly and nice with everyone!". And like. There is nothing wrong with headcanons. But I feel like it's very demonstrative of the larger fandom problem of completely ignoring canon to favour a carefully crafted, wildly spread and completely incorrect fanon.

Because believe it or not, season 1 Tim is.... not like that. When I first listened to TMA, before I had any interactions with the fandom, I didn't perceive him like this. Then I started interacting with the fandom, and I, too, saw this interpretation and said, "Oh! I'll add that to my belief system!". But I recently relistened to season 1, and realised how wrong that was.

Tim is "the hot one." Sure. That's canon, Basira said it in season 2. However, Tim is also an incredibly closed off and secretive person. And actually, canonically, he doesn't have many friends at the Institute. Which makes even more sense than him being friendly with everyone. He arrived at the Institute traumatised by The Stranger of all things, making him very distrustful of everyone. Yes, he became friends with pre-season 1 Jonathan "don't talk to me I'm busy" Sims, but Jon was also a traumatised person who was desperately looking for answers.

Sasha (who, by the way, I find is way too often ignored by the fandom) is the friendly one. Sasha became friends with Tim and Jon, Sasha tried her best to make Martin feel accepted in the Archives, Sasha is the nosy one who gets into everyone's business. Not Tim.

season 1: I'm Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of Magnus Institute, London. My professional opinion is that this is all horseshit and everyone that isn't me needs psychiatric help. Statement ends.

season 2: Supplemental: God lives inside the printer and he keeps telling me my assistants are murderers. I am inclined to believe him based on the fact that Martin told to have a nice day. Innately suspicious behavior.

season 3: My only friends are my ex-girlfriend, her cat, and the many scars I've gotten from various monsters and fear cultists.

season 4: You know, just being socially adept would solve a lot of my problems. Unfortunately, I was traumatized so thoroughly by age eight that I learned the best way to make friends is to blink at them slowly until they get the idea. This does not work when your evil patron god uses eyeballs to devour fear.

season 5: Either Jonah Magnus tells us where he took all the good cows, or my boyfriend and I bash his head in with a lead crowbar. It's his choice.
