I wonder how hard Dirk(Svlad?) fought to maintain his accent in Blackwing. He was there for years, while he was still pretty young and adaptable, and literally everyone he interacted would be american. I'm sure Riggins would have loved for him lose any sense of self/identity that wasn't centered around Blackwing, and something as prominent as a foreign accent must have stuck out, and there a lot of cultural aspects connected to speech

I have two competing but equally angsty headcanons about Dirk’s accent prior to being brought in to Blackwing by Priest.

He grew up running wild on his family’s sprawling, overgrown Romanian estate and spoke with a very dense Romanian accent which was effectively drilled out of him at the facility after being surrounded by people who’d pretend not to understand him unless he sounded less foreign and “weird” when answering questions. He didn’t pick up the accent until his brief, ill-fated stint at Cambridge (and this was a deliberate choice that unfortunately involved him going through a horrible pip-pip-cheerio guvnor phase while he ironed out the linguistic kinks).

His family moved to England when he was very young, which means that he had the British accent the entire time he was at the facility (Riggins thought that stocking his room with Enid Blyton books would help with the homesickness, Priest just mocked him and called him Oliver fucking Twist).
