haldirk period sex. is this anything

[madjazzed]

dirkhalquius for the ship bingo?

right out the gate with my treasured favorite super rare ot3! thank you meat i DO have some opinions on these weirdos, mainly that they are GREAT.

hahahahaha SO

i really did put my eyes on that top right square at least five times before i realized that it says "they're fucking the same guy" and not, as my homestuck-conditioned brain interpreted it, "they're the same fucking guy." and while the former is technically correct in any concupiscent threesome, their being the same fucking guy is very important for this ship, and not just because its inherent in the dirkhal of it all. see, while i like each of the component ships in multiple contexts, the specific scenario that colonized my brain five years ago is a post-game future in which people who were merged as sprites retain memories of being a single entity, which means hal knows equius just about as well as he knows dirk, i.e., extremely intimately, in that unique and special way that can only come from having at one time been, say it with me now, the same fucking guy.

of course, hal's experience of having been arquiusprite was qualitatively different from and vastly more enjoyable than his experience of being dirk strider. you know how dirk tells jane that she should be more like jake, and vice versa? do you think that hal, equipped with empirical evidence that dirk should be more like equius, would be absolutely insufferable about it? i do. i think hal and equius would be besties and dirk would be so. jealous. of both of them. their relationship might have been antagonistic as fuck for a long time but he was still used to hal being there (for him) all the time in a very literal way, resenting him but understanding him and depending on him and vice versa, and how dare his roboreflection splinter be more well adjusted than he is, and enjoy an actual healthy relationship with the e%cessively built absurdly polite musclebeast fetishizing troll dirk definitely doesn't have a massive crush on or anything? i mean, really.

yeah yeah we all knew the "compatible brand of freaks" square was going to be doing some heavy lifting for this ship. i don't think there's any real need for me to go on and on about how dirk and equius are socially awkward engineering nerds whose common interests include furry art, building robots to fight, rap, and a smorgasbord of weird kinks, or the details of their respective obsessive tendencies and control issues, or the way dirk's martial prowess combined with his casual profanity would abso100tly take equius out at the knees, so let's just leave that on the table where we can all see it.

i do think it's worth noting that equius, though somewhat shy, is appro%imately 100 times more straightforward than dirk, with his mind games and overthinking everything behind the scenes puppetmaster complex, and i think it would be good for dirk to have someone punch through his walls of obfuscatory bullshit as unsubtly as possible. i don't think equius would do it without encouragement, but i like to imagine hal would be all too happy to provide that, and exercise his own manipulative tendencies for the benefit of everyone involved. after all, no one could be better positioned to understand both how good those two could be for each other, and how to get them to act on it.

for more explicit explorations of these exciting possibilities i recommend going through their whole ship tag on ao3, which i must note is at this point composed entirely of fics written for me.

“ You pray to whatever God may be listening that you can get a firm grip, that at least if you both are to drown, it’s not alone, surrounded by sunken relics of skyscrapers that spiral past your bodies and emerald-leafed seaweed that reaches out from the darkness, tendrils of the dangerous deep. ”

[turing-tested]

hal and dirk keeping their relationship on the down low because they know if anyone knew about it they'd get dragged from here to kingdom come is so so good. what's even BETTER is someone finding out and dragging them and they can't even defend themselves because what is being said is probably true

[mortior]

Ask answers below! Some are heckin’ old. As always, I sometimes forget which ones I’ve already answered, so if I missed any, please feel free to send me a reminder poke!

Anonymous said: Do you still like dirkhal? And are you still planning on putting out a sequel to endangered?

I tell you what, DirkHal is my Homestuck perma-ship. I think every fandom I’ve ever had comes with that one ship I will forever love. I’ve been a Link/Sheik shipper since childhood. ANYways yes the sequel, which is basically a bridge to the actual novel-length sequel, will happen one way or another. If not a VN then as a text adventure thing, because it wasn’t designed to be a fic, if that makes sense. Like I’ve mentioned before, if I ever give up on it, you’ll see me post a synopsis of the plot.

Anonymous said: Read Endangered and honestly my mind is blown! It fun to read stories like this one that was so vastly interesting and stand out. I really hope to read more of your work in the future.

Oh wow, it blows my mind that folks are still reading it for the first time! :0c Thank you!!

Anonymous said: Hi. Thank you for sharing your amazing writing with us, they are providing me with needed distraction right now. Good luck with your program :)

Thank you v much =u= honestly it’s been super rough lately and I’m barely keeping my life together atm, but I realized that taking a hiatus from fandom stuff wasn’t doing me any favors. If all goes well I’ll be graduating at the end of the year tho!

Anonymous said: Hey, weird question but do you know what happened to RedLament? They were one of the more active DirkDave artists for awhile and I come back to tumblr and they're gone?

Ooh that username looked familiar and then I looked up their art and I THINK they actually moved to pillowfort. Looks like the site is down r/n tho, but if you remind me later and/or message me off anon I can try to get that link for you. They might be on twitter too but I’ve recently repurposed mine into a mostly non-fandom nsfw space.

bloominghearts said: Sorry to add to the message count, but it's good to hear from you. ♡ I'm working through my thesis atm as well and it's pretty rough and time consuming, so I totally get that. Take care, Mort! 🤘🏻

Ahh thank you, yeah I’m in that final year and it’s a real beast. Gotta keep remembering that I chose this / did this to myself. :’)

cryptid-with-no-forest said: Hey man you do what you gotta do Hope life is goin well Ngl i did miss ya

Ngl I missed y’all too ;-; thank u for the kind message.

Anonymous said: I may or may not have made fanart of Endangered fairly recently but I think Tumblr is hiding it from you :y

Oooh I’ll look for it, yeah occasionally things just don’t show up in my searched tags / notifications, tumblr is a rotten old potato sometimes.

Anonymous said: im so happy to hear youre still working on the endangered vn, kudos for sticking it out!! i dont think ive ever finished a vn before lol. you and a couple other ao3 writers are whats kept me in the fandom this long, and endangered is genuinely one of my favorite fanworks of all time (i love murderbots So Much.) are you still using renpy for the vn? pls send help if so its hard to get the hang of ;n;

Hhh thank you ;u; oof YEAH there was a big learning curve with renpy, I think I spent most of the first month in the forums trying to troubleshoot and figure out how to do stuff. The functions are so complicated I don’t know what 75% of the code does now, despite writing it myself. orz But if I can do it, anyone can do it! I had never touched a line of code in my life before learning the basics of renpy which is like code lite but still!

[lovelyrotter]

the tags on your haldirk period sex post are so good i havent even been able to think of anything else. normally the idea of period sex squicks me out but in this case holy shit? goddamn??

yo im so happy about this im gonna be living off of this for the rest of the year. honestly big handshake emoji about period sex in general for me literally up until i thought about it for dirkhal cause its just kinda... theres smth so completely Them about the potential symbolism and how hal would feel/relate to organic bodies post-adroidification (also always a good post-transition metaphor). and dirk is so precious to him. every part of dirk is His(tm) so of course hed covet dirks blood too. and i like the thought of hal kinda falling into a caretaker role at some point in the way that he keeps noticing dirk not taking care of himself in little and big ways, so he falls into the habit of fixing stuff, doing things for him, making him food instead of just reminding him, bringing him pain meds, keeping track of tampons and pads. i think the kink would surprise them both and the first instance of it in the bedroom would be spontaneous too. and then they talk abt it and it gets ingratiated into their collection of kinks cause 1) they enjoy it 2) cumming really does help with cramps LOL

Three Fandom Tag

i was tagged by @merupuri! i didn’t even realize you followed me, hello amazing artist who i love

Rules: Choose any three fandoms and answer the questions, then tag 10 people you want to know better.

My Three Fandoms: homestuck • kingdom hearts • sonic the hedgehog stfu

The first character you loved: dave strider • riku • tails

The character you never expected to love so much: vriska • vanitas • vector hahaha no, uh...rouge

The character you relate to the most: john egbert • roxas • ...shadow?

The character you’d slap: hussie • yen sid • amy

Three favourite characters (in order of preference): dirk strider, lil hal, dave strider • axel, roxas, aqua • shadow, rouge, blaze

i always feel weird tagging people in things, so if you wanna do it bam i tag you go do it

[matespritship]

dirkhal is 16. he lied about being 17 when he was actually 11 which makes him "22" this year. he came clean a long time ago. a good lot of the screenshots in the callout are from when he was 12-14. stop encouraging a public witchhunt on a minor

i’m not encouraging a public witchhunt, trust me. i’m simply recommending that anyone who would like to know more about this situation should do their own research and inform themselves. i offered the only resources i had at the time- and still have- when i was asked for it. i’m open to literally any discussion or further information as long as it’s well informed!

i hope nobody who has been updating me on these things or vice versa has been harassing/etc the person in question, because that’s not my intention at all. i just wanted to make context more available for others on my blog like it has been made for me by those who sent asks and DMed me.

tl;dr, do not harass attack or hunt down dirkhal, for real. that is not the intention of my posts and i’m sure it’s not the intention of those who initially messaged me about it either.

for anyone who is made uncomfortable by these things and/or doesnt want it on their dash for any reasons, can block the tag “the dh thing.” i’m not trying to force this on anyone, just making it more available to learn about for yourself.

[gothamcityneedsme]
