#the rowdy three

yknow what i absolutely love about dghda? how socially unaware all the former blackwing subjects are. like these guys have no clue what to do in normal society and that absolutely makes sense

dirk is the most well adjusted out of all of the ones we know of and even he climbs into this random guy's apartment through the window, immediately calls him his assistant and then declares that he lives there now. he's clueless. he wants friends but he doesn't know how to talk to people, even after 16 years lived in freedom

and then there's bart and the rowdy 3

bart doesn't know how radios and tvs work, nor what hotels are. all she's known her whole life is blackwing labs and the fact that she's supposed to kill people. so that's what she does. she doesn't know how to talk to people, she just goes with the flow

and of course the rowdy 3, the absolute icons. unlike dirk, who wants to be a part of society, and bart, who really doesn't care, they actively reject social norms. they saw punk culture and ran with it. they're rude, violent and, well, rowdy. and they like that. but they're also stupid in the way that you would be if you grew up in a lab with (probably) next to no real education. none of them have any functioning braincells or social grace and that works for them

i didn't talk about mona or francis/moloch bc we don't really have a real frame of reference for either of them. mona is an inanimate object 99% of the time and francis has been in a coma for several decades

the difference between dirk and the rowdies is that dirk is chaotic by accident and the rowdies are chaotic on purpose. the rowdies crave chaos. but chaos just… sort of happens to dirk.

thinking about the

“there’s four of them”

“i’m WILDLY aware”

and like.

dirk gently spent years perfecting his identity and his brand and making sure his name rolled off the tongue just right and imagines his brass plaque that says “cases solved with arguable efficency” and then THESE FUCKERS

THESE FUCKERS DONT EVEN BOTHER TO COUNT RIGHT

LIKE CMON DIRK KNOWS GRIPPS CAN COUNT SOOOO WELL BUT THEY STILL USE THE ROWDY THREE

THE ROWDY THREEEEEE

thanks so much for everyone who voted on the poll!! i cant believe that the rowdies won over brotzly and farina… but i aint complaining.

so heres the winner! the rowdy 3 steal a shopping cart. (plus an extra bonus todd, dirk and farah, who could have really used that cart. oh well)

this was fun so i’ll probably do another one of these next week! if anyone has anythig theyd like to see featured on the poll (and potentially drawn!) feel free to leave a suggestion!

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is top three favorite comfort shows. Every single character is amazing and no matter how many times I see it I love it more.
