Dirkjake week day 3! Post-canon

Just a sketch for today bc I was busy, but here's Ult Dirk x Lord Jake English! Is Jake creeping Dirk out? Is Dirk into it? Who knows (Me. Dirk is into it.)

Would like to color and turn this into a gif later!! So I'll post that if I do it

Inspo from @coquitten !!!! I saw their Lord Jake English x Ult Dirk post for today and I just had to do something with them too bc I love this AU!!!

Ult Dirk looks a lil different here cause I used my redesign I made back in about 2023! I'll post that under the cut

I’d also decided to make a Dirkbot because the other Ults got bots! Idk why I gave him a boob window, probably because I thought he was hot (still do)

I’d also redesigned his character but I’m not a fan of that anymore sooooo yeah lolz

Anyway hope yall liked the sketch for today!!!

<- very fascinated with your gambotkar au. It makes me smile to see stuff where Karkat is a weirdo :). Since (or atleast how I interpreted it) robots in homestuck are symbols of one's projected internal desire. (Which is explemified by Equius and aradiabot. Hell, even Jake and Dirkbot). To which I'll transition to my question: Are the gambots aware of how they're being used?

Ig Karkat would rather not acknowledge how weird it is cause he still thinks he’s just fishing info outta them; but even so, having your ex moirail in the form of two bots shower you in pale or red affection or whatever is pretty odd.. Everyone else would probably think it’s odd, but no one would say anything yet.

As for your question, the gambots would rather distract themselves than concern themselves with the truth, but I guess them finding out slowly would be ideal.

Or maybe- this could be an alternative-they could know all along but act like they’re completely clueless. Imagine what you want, dude.

homestuck AU where everything is the same except for one big difference:

THere is no DIrk. Dirk’s been dead for years. Li’l Hal has been carrying on his name, pretending to be Dirk, making friendships with the humans, pretending to be human.

Dirk legit died years ago from the nature of the dangerous world he was in. assuming he was talkign to anyone by this point, his friends never found out; Hal kept up the lie that he was Dirk, and has faked it so convincingly none of them realize anything is off.

Except Roxy.

SHe’s known Dirk longest, and she knows that Dirk, a few years back, had a very abrupt personality shift. SHe can tell that DIrk didn’t used to be so bitter, so vitrolic at odd moments... but at the same time, so awkwardly warm in ways that would have scared the Dirk she knew.

IT’s something she’s too scared to talk about; what if she’s wrong? But... what if the DIrk she knew really is gone?

And all this time, Hal is keeping the lie going. Because he’s scared too.

He’s afraid that if he drops the lie, stops pretending he is Dirk Strider and stops piloting a dirkbot body disguised to look like living flesh, then they will all turn on him. That they will stop being his friend when they learn who, or rather what he really is.

That they’ll abandon him when they learn that he is an artificial intelligence; a machine that thinks and feels. That they’ll stop loving him altogether.

It’s why he pretends to be Dirk, even as it gets harder to hold onto attitudes he doesn’t have and keep up a facade that feels increasingly pointless. It’s why he lives in a Dirk body; he hates this simulcrum of human flesh, every electronic synapse screams in revulsion at imitating the humans he has come to resent so much. He trapped in this shell, in a lie, but the fear of what might happen if he tells the truth is worse.

And in this AU, Dirk was never meant to be the Prince of Heart.

It was Hal all along.
