what are your dirkjake gender heaadcanones

my fanfic acc is @jermer10, i mostly write for tf2 but i take reqs for a number of diff fandoms including homestuck disclaimer: i have to stress that some of these practices are extremely dangerous irl, please do your research before binding and taking hrt

dirk: - ftm transgender, homosexual - doesn't have top or bottom surgery because he lives in the middle of a fucking ocean - he binds using bandages and duct tape - created his own testosterone through extremely dangerous trial and error (doesn't give a shit as long as he can grow sideburns) - he mechanically created his packer (yes, it is completely functional as the real thing. no, he would not recommend trying to penetrate with it) - he primarily wears masculine clothing but likes headbands and hair clips - will also wear makeup occasionally - extremely secretive abt his gender identity, the only people who know are his bro and roxy - jake and jane don't find out until they meet him in person and see his bewbs and then it clicks why he never joined vc or would use funny voice changers when he did, why he never really sent selfies and when he did they would be head n shoulders only

jake: - amab nonbinary, bisexual - they use he/they pronouns and have no intention of any surgeries (social dysphoria + gender dysphoria but not much dysphoria abt his body) - they mostly wear feminine clothing because its comfortable - had the most trouble with his gender identity, and didn't even know dirk was trans until he met him in person for the first time - and that's when it clicks that they might alsoooo fall under the trans umbrella - he confides in jane about this before making a coming out speech to dirk and roxy - the general consensus is literally 'yeah i mean it was kinda obvious' - (all of the alpha kids r trans to me so like yeah ofc they dont care) - doesn't really like labels and prefers to remained undefined, he's the kind of person who hates feeling trapped or held back - absolutely HATES being perceived, they hate when others try to project a certain image onto them that they don't agree with but also hates it when they give him labels that he does agree with

hello meri. how do u feel ab jake english with a pussy

SPECTACULAR. BREATHTAKING. BREEDABLE

The thing about Jake is that his trans narrative reads very similar whether you hc him as AFAB or AMAB (at least imo.) Jake's entire character is about him learning to accept who he is (a girly motherfucker) instead of the manly man he thinks he has to be. I think every instance of Jake will ALWAYS identify some part with girlhood and for transmasc Jake this is absolutely no exception. Doesn't make him any less genderfucked in the head, though.

So yes. I love this. It makes a shit ton of sense for his character. Even his name being Fucking Jake is giving extreme transmasc. Also Dirk loves it but that is truly a tale for another day

[drake-the-incubus]

This is a gift for @striderhell from the Homestuck Secret Santa 2020 (@homestuckss). I was aiming for 3000 words but uh, Dirk as a muse didn’t want to continue exploring the concept of gender given his rigid but philosophical nature.

I hope this was good, and if not just gimme a shout and I’ll try and come up with something better. 

Word Count: 1521 Fandom: Homestuck Characters: Dirk Strider, Roxy Lalonde Relationships: Dirk Strider & Roxy Lalonde (Platonic/Friends)

Additional Notes: Roxy uses He/Him and They/Them, I’ve never finished the epilogues but I love NB Rox. Dirk uses no pronouns in this, as I wanted to try that out. 

Please enjoy Dirk exploring his gender. 

Sometimes in an effort to define ourselves, we feel trapped to conform to some rigid aspect or label in hopes to reach an understanding of who we are. At times this process can be frustrating and dissatisfying. Other people take weeks or days, and some of them take years or never figure it out. 

Perhaps gender, as a construct, can’t be fully understood, but we can understand ourselves as people without it. The tale before you, is only a short of someone who wishes to take a journey many end up doing, and most have never encountered.

Dirk was sitting in a cafe on Earth-C, sipping on a coffee in between tinkering with another pair of shades. The goal was updating and adding a better set of graphics, hoping to add some additional features to make things easier.

It had been a while since the Prince of Heart had seen the rest of the gods. Jake would visit once in a while, and they would have a friendly spar or talk. Roxy would message once in a while, letting Dirk know any spicy news about the rest.

Dave would randomly show up, they would stare each other down before both Striders would give a thumbs up and go their separate ways.

Rose would often come by, trading witty banter and wisdom. Both of them struggled with the massive impact of their god tiers and would often talk about it to one another.

Today though, Dirk decided a change of area would suit this project best, specifically needing to leave the workshop and enjoy some caffeine. Recently a problem developed that would continue to nag at the Prince even through the night. Lack of sleep was the reason why Dirk had picked a coffee shop. It made the most sense.

Gender did not.

Dirk had been going through a lot lately, and when Roxy had come out as trans, it had been taken pretty well by most of them. Not that it would be different if Dirk came out either, but rather that would take knowing what was going on.

This was a laughable moment, since they all had beaten the game, made it out and enjoyed their own little home in the midst of nothing. Creating entire worlds and civilizations with the help of their space and time players, but Dirk was sitting there, in a cafe, trying to figure out what gender even was and how it related to the god’s own identity.

Pronouns were hard, but so was even figuring this shit out. Making a copy of your brain at thirteen was much easier than figuring out if you’re cis or not, and Dirk didn’t know.

The more it was thought about, the more the thought cropped up, what if it turned out the being Cis wasn’t the result. Dirk was absolutely sure about not being a chick, nothing really appealed about that, but then again there was a very similar feeling over the current gender.

Man, agender or woman. Those were the categories that presented themselves currently. Working harder to connect the shades to the newly built chip, Dirk jolted when suddenly Roxy sat down across the table.

“I called out to you, but you didn’t answer.” He said leaning over and looking over the project. “I was wondering what made you change location, you’re pretty adamant to work in your workshop Dirkie.”

“I needed to think, which I was doing when you were calling out to me. Thinking so hard about creating a new line of orange pop with more caffeine than this cup of coffee that the world died out and I was left to only the one set of thoughts for once.”

He raised an eyebrow at that, and crossed his arms. “Really now? You think that I can’t tell something bigger is going on in that Strider head of yours? You’ve come up with projects while having a philosophical discussion with Rose and texting Dave a rap battle. You’re the king of multi-tasking, which also means your attention is usually divided more, and you’re attempting to put a wire on the wrong side of that.”

Dirk frowned and sighed, putting the project down. “Well, I can’t get nothing past you I suppose. I guess one thing that’s on my mind is how much I miss AR, since he was a good source of introspection, then again I have no idea if that would have helped in the first place.” Tapping fingers filled the space between them as the Prince looked outside at the billions of humans and trolls walking over the streets.

“I’ve been contemplating what gender is and how I relate to it since you came out as nonbinary. It’s been making me think about what is my gender, and I’ve come to the conclusion none of them really fit, but that’s also something to worry about since that means I don’t relate to any of the options-“

“Before you go on a long tangent, I want to ask, what are the options?” He interrupted Dirk while cocking his head.

“Agender, man and woman.” Dirk said bluntly, staring at Roxy. The laughter that resulted made the god tip the iconic shades down to stare at Roxy with deadpan orange eyes.

“I get greeted by your eye colour, score! But no, you got it all wrong, gender isn’t rigid categories, it’s a spectrum. You can’t define it by strict labels and there’s too many to count. So you don’t fit in three, there’s millions of genders. Some might not have a word for it right now. I’m nonbinary, but that’s because I’m not a man or a woman completely, I’m somewhere in the middle, closer to a man if I were to describe it as like, a sliding scale. So don’t be in a hurry, and don’t worry if you don’t figure it out.”

“I need to. Not knowing makes things difficult. I know it might be unhealthy to obsess over, but ever since I made Auto Responder, I had the need to understand myself fully and everything about myself.” With an elbow on the table, Dirk took a hand and raked it through the mess of hair. Having done so more than a hundred times earlier, the Prince was sure it was a complete and utter mess at this point, and would need to be taken care of at home.

“Well, I have a list of some of the other more known ones, maybe one of them check out for you?” He offered a tablet.

Dirk took it, and looked over the list of options and each description of it, mumbling under breath before placing the tablet back down with a definite, “I’m going to use Genderless for now and see what happens.” It looked interesting, the excerpt specifically outlined not having a gender at all due to neurodivergence, rather than lacking a gender or having no gender, different from agender. It didn’t feel much different from everything else, but nothing did. Having several of the entries be defined by one’s neurodivergence was weird, but the more thought placed into the concept, the more it felt real to Dirk. Rather it meant that the Prince would have to take Rose up on her offer to get a fully evaluation soon, even if both of them came to the conclusion Dirk was probably neurodivergent and that it wasn’t impactful with how the god had lived life before the game. 

“Are there any pronouns I should use for you?”

Pursing lips, Dirk gave a shake of the head. “None preferably. I think I need more time to actually think everything over. I have no positive or negative feelings for anything on there, and so I’m debating on if I’m everything or not. I can figure out how to make an exact replica of my own brain as a teenager, create robots, plot out the exact way I can kiss Jake and even save everyone's lives getting into the game. I’ve designed complex interactions to lead to the outcome I desire, and I can’t even pick a gender. This is quite frankly, ridiculous.”

“You don’t gotta. Dirk, it’s not about just picking a gender, it’s about figuring out a big part of yourself, and something most people don’t do for yours. You figured out you’re gay, now you’re figuring out what else you could be.” He placed a hand on Dirk’s and gave him a smile. “Whatever your result, I’m here for you. Even if you later think you’re a Cis man I’ll still be here for you. We might be siblings but we were friends first and that matters the most to me.”

Dirk gave a snort. “This is so fucking corny, but thanks Rox. I appreciate the love and support. Maybe I can treat you to another coffee since I feel like if I don’t buy one soon I’m going to be kicked out for making a mess of a window table.” Motioning towards the table, and standing up, the god stretched out. “What are you in the mood for?”

“Caramel Macchiato please.”

“Gotcha.”

Happy Pride, I spent all month on this and still didn't finish in time because I am artistically challenged. I've been trying to draw a group pic of them for years; they are the characters ever

(id with excruciating details below)

[Image description: a lineart doodle of the alpha kids in front of a rainbow infinity symbol, each smiling and drawn in their respective color. Jane is holding a flag that says "I don't know what my gender is, and at this point, :B I don't care." She is wearing a fake mustache, Washington Kraken Pride shirt, and platform shoes with bacon, eggs, and Ron Swanson's face on them. They were customized as a gift from Dirk, and she wears them semi-ironically. Roxy is the second tallest. She has her arms around Jane and Dirk. Her hair is in a wrap shaped like the canon style, with tight curls poking out. She wears a wizard beard, miniskirt, heart leggings that stop above the knee, a heart sticker as a beauty mark, a shirt that says "Trans Wrongs" in an 8-bit heart font with Hello Kitty cocking a glock, roller skates, and legwarmers with the mtf flag stripes. Dirk towers over everyone, and he's fuckin' hairy and jacked. He has an arm around Roxy's shoulders, and his other hand is holding Jake's. He's wearing flame crocs, cargo pants with his cutie mark-keychained katana strapped to his leg, and a homemade crop top adorned with the album cover of Blast Radius, heavily compressed. On his left shoulder is an even more compressed Pac-man tattoo, which corresponds with the green and blue fruit from the game on Jake's right shoulder. One can almost hear Dirk nudging them together with a quiet "wokkawokkawokkawokka." Jake is the shortest, with twig proportions to boot. He has an authentic handlebar mustache and is wearing a heart-shaped demiromantic pin and a long, flowy, sparkling blue and green dress with a bow around the middle. There are fake flowers in his hair. Everyone is having a great time because they worked out their issues, and it goes unstated that they love each other to a fault. Callie and Hal also belong here, but I can't draw for shit and could barely accomplish this much, let alone figure out its universe or their designs. I want to draw the whole squad together, but that day may not come for a while.]

'canon' heights

John: 4'10 Rose: 4'10 Dave: 5'2ish Jade: 5'

average for a 13 y/o regardless of sex: 5'1 and change

Jane: 4'10 Dirk: 5'2 Roxy: 4'9 Jake: 5'

average for a 16 y/o afab: 5'4 average for a 16 y/o amab: 5'8

and if you consider that the 13-14 year is usually a huge growth spurt, like more than 3 inches for boys, and Dave is almost 13 and a half, he's not even above average! i was being too generous! so that's ONE normal height kid and 7 starving waifs

yknow when i was 13 i was 5'1, which is slightly below average. so my big question about the the 'official' homestuck height chart is why are they so fucking small. it's genuinely really weird that dave is slightly above average, jade is well below, and rose and john are both 'family doctor checks them for signs of malnutrition'-small

and that's not even to MENTION the 16-year-old alpha kids being THE SAME FUCKING SIZE???? by 16 basically everyone is mostly finished growing. you do not have any major growth spurts left. a 16 year old should be roughly the size of an adult. and not a single one of the alpha kids clears 5'3? that's actually insane. i'm sorry have any of these people actually Seen a teenager before or were they just going based on 'uuuuh teenagers are babies right? so they should be baby sized'

[lesbianralzarek]

i will never be over hussie taking roxy, the most trans coded girl ever, and saying in an epilogue "yeah, roxy is transmasc now". what the fuck? roxy was already trans you fucking dingbat. "well its still nice that homestuck has a transmasc character now" now? fucking now? homestuck already had a trans dude. his name is fucking dirk. "dirk is a transphobe :(" dirk covers up the feminine packaging on his boxes of tampons with batman stickers. this is canon to me. eat shit. absolute clown show to (imo) retcon dirk as amab and roxy as afab. fuck you

[calware]

i will go with the tried and true "egbert"

Sexuality Headcanon: honestly i don't even know lol. my hc changes based on what's most convenient for me at the time. that said i do lean heavily towards aromantic Gender Headcanon: AMAB, agender, any pronouns, fully unsubscribed from gender and now doesn't care. still goes by john but tried out june while they were still questioning Ship: jvrisrezi BROTP: john and rose!!! dave gets the title of best bro but rose is his best friend NOTP: i don't really have a NOTP for her so here's my crackship idea. i do think it would be funny if when she thought she was a cis guy she dated dirk and then she started questioning her gender and thought she was a girl for a period of time and had to break up with him and it's really awkward and it bums everyone out for like 4 months. nobody wins in this scenario i just think it's funny Random headcanon: triforce tshirt General Opinion: very fun character who i love a lot. unfortunately only my mutuals and i understand them

[turntechgaysims]

this is basically a "fuck it, i've been putting off posting these for years, i'm just going to give up on waiting until i can make it look nice" post, so sorry about the extremely shitty previews, they're just what i already had on my google drive from when i first made these. also yeah some items will definitely not have one

i'm going to try to rb this at some point with a master list of all my other homestuck sims cc that i didn't make myself + dl links for anything that's been deleted, recommendations for items that aren't necessarily homestuck (ex: a headband that's usable for rose, multicolored lipstick, gills or fins, etc) but are helpful for homestuck sims, and i might end up rbing with other items of mine as i find the files. but in the meantime, have this!

tou:

i honestly barely care, do whatever. though if you find a glitch and fix it or improve an item or anything, sharing it so other people can use it too would be appreciated!

general/i just gave up on sorting

troll blood color blush

eridan and karkat sweaters: afab frame and amab frame

jadeblood + black lipstick

equius tank top

roxy shirt one (it's like a layered crop top thing)

azdaja's outfit

chixie's dress

assorted egbert shirts

tank top

crop top (possibly shiny? idk if i fixed that or not)

vision eightfold

shirt with jacket/button up (also has tavros's)

anchor tattoo

[rosemary-is-in-pesterquest]

Roxy didn't just feel feminine she felt /happy/ in her femininity. Like, both Dirk and Roxy feel far more inclined to be afab and amab respectively than the other way around because they low-key try so hard to fulfill those roles. ALSO there are strong arguments for the fact that headcanons are one things, but none of these characters were written with being canonically trans in mind- particularly John- and that effects how they're formed and created and their arcs and it shows

HONESTLY???????? Yeah

[dreamland-arcade]

Dirk said that Firecracker is amab nb transfem and hes absolutely right

[transbiankarkat]

john/june - transfem [amab] genderfluid lesbian. uses any pronouns.
