Dirk Strider.

23. If you have to ask, then just assume that I’m better at this than you. (PFP credits to Karcutie on tumblr.)
Your name is DIRK STRIDER. You are TWENTY-THREE YEARS OLD, or ABOUT ELEVEN SWEEPS, and you have this HORRIBLE HABIT of getting yourself into SOCIAL SITUATIONS YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE. Your default response to these is to bare your teeth like the feral animal you are, and it means you don't tend to get along with humans very well, including your fellow gods. They find it UNSETTLING how VIOLENT you can be, and their patience for you does not extend as far as it does for the TRUE ALTERNIANS in your group. You suspect this is because you possess a human face, and that it would remain true even if you had actually grown up on Alternia. The IRONY of this is that you are the only real MARTIAL GOD in this ragtag group of game survivors, rather than any of the aforementioned ALTERNIANS. On the FLIPSIDE, you often have MORE LUCK with TROLLS, but still, those on EARTH C are often OFFPUT by you, as their culture is LESS VIOLENT THAN ALTERNIA'S. It means that you, in many ways, belong ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE, and while your isolation is SOMEWHAT SELF-IMPOSED, as old habits die hard and your childhood is harder to shake than people like to admit, you remain QUITE BITTER about how ESSENTIALLY NOBODY UNDERSTANDS YOU because you are just WRONG ON A FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL. Not human enough for the humans, too Alternian for the trolls, and the ghost of dead worlds and dead civilizations, all wrapped up in one pretty package. This is what has led you to CHITTR. Somewhere your fellow gods HAVE NOT DISCOVERED, even though you wish you could talk to ROXY about it. You worry that it would take away your REFUGE from the SOCIAL NIGHTMARE that is your IRL life. You stand at a WHOPPING five feet and seven inches, and you possess a SPEECH IMPEDIMENT that you keep RATHER WELL HIDDEN after YEARS OF WORK. You are BITTER about these things as well. You are, BY DEFINITION ALONE, a TRANSGENDER MAN. You do not use labels like that for your gender or sexuality, but it is SIMPLY EASIER TO SAY IT THAT WAY even though it DOES NOT ACCURATELY DEFINE YOUR IDENTITY and tends to cause people to assume you possess experiences common among transgender people that you actually lack. This is something that makes you UNCOMFORTABLE, but you tend to suck it up like you usually do when uncomfortable. You are additionally quite fond of COUNTERCULTURE, and have adopted beliefs from both Alternia's and Old Earth's subcultures as your own. If you speak like you are from the 2020s, that is PROBABLY BECAUSE you grew up on the desolate remains of the 2020s internet. Though you thankfully avoided BRAINROT by instead READING TOO MANY WIKIPEDIA ARTICLES. You have forgotten more things than even you will ever know. Any ADDITIONAL INFORMATION about you must be discovered the OLD FASHIONED WAY: by leveling up your social link.
Sleepy... He's warm...
Ah.
I've been looking at apartments again.
Temptation to simply cease interacting with people entirely continues to grow.
You ever think about the want to be wanted?
Nødding at my screen in grim resignatiøn.
you thinK id juZt admit to Zomething liKe that on the internet?
Pretty sure you just did, buddy.
Mn.
... I think I hit the time of night where my head starts going sideways.
Human beds, we sleep horizontal
CROSS EXAMINATION! why. that's stupid
It's not literal. Metaphor for a mental state "turning sideways."
Because we aren't built to sleep vertical. Or in sopor.
POINT OF ORDER! that's less stupid but still admittedly kind of stupid
READING ONTO THE RECORD! my sympathies, i suppose?
I've slept in sopor and cupes and I get the appeal, but yeah, we as a people decided laying down on surfaces (preferably soft) is the best way to rest
A lot of humans also just have negative reactions to being submerged in sopor as it is when produced for trolls anyways, nor do we strictly need it as a species... So I doubt we'll ever see it adopted by a majority of humans in most timelines.
READING ONTO THE RECORD! that's... kind of embarrassing, but i hope you guys have fun with that, i guess?
Fair enough. It was. Pleasant to me but it helped me deal with the night horrors. I won't bug you much go lay down boss
They're threatening Rankmaid.
She kept rewinding to look at men.
Update it happened again.
My cat walked up to me and just? Sniffed my nose directly?
Meow~
Meow.
Good morning.
A.
Honestly I could rant about the controversy surrounding quadrants in my timeline for hours if I wanted to.
c< id listeN 2 yOu, if yOu felt liKe raNtiN >c
One day people will stop characterizing pitch romance entirely by the unhealthy pitch dynamics they see. One day.
I don't understand the question.
Far too many. Including in media, especially human media, which often mischaracterizes and demonizes it dramatically as inherently abusive and unhealthy because they only see the violence and not the root of the feelings nor the fact that it is, in fact, a relationship involving consent and mutual power exchange (when done correctly.) While abusive and/or toxic dynamics could be argued as more *common* among kismesitudes than the red quads, I've yet to see any proper studies done from any timeline on the subject. It's nonetheless a common claim in mine from wannabe activists that "the vast majority of pitch romance is abusive" and usually their ideas of "acceptable" pitch romance actually involve aggressive vacillation or quadsmearing rather than any "standard" practice.
Sadly, yes...
D-->Human... activism... dedicated towards kismesitude D-->Absurd and irrelevant, though not un%pected D-->I'm lost as to why bother with %tensive %amination of that which %es over species' respective natures
It's partially because quads aren't troll-exclusive on my Earth, and some humans partake. There are always going to be stupid people who take issue with other people using free will in ways they don't like, even though it's not hurting anyone.
What if you wanted to be in a bed all comfortable but your sort-of-kismesis was a robot who liked to shlorp out of your vents like a xenomorph?
I have a weird feeling about today.
We have yuri and yaoi badges now?
:33 < what?! i should have them!!!
WE'LL HAVE #COLLAB BADGES. SOON. [⠌]
Bed warm. Bed soft. Bed comfy.
⠀
Oh, hey, Peanut.
#COLLAB. NO ADJECTIVE NEEDED BECAUSE #COLLABS ARE JUST THAT GOOD. [⠌]
fuCkin' hemoist radiCals jaCkin' a ri6hteous an6er to push their shitwad extremist views. that shit's makin' it worse for everyone. thanks for ruinin' that, assholes.
// genuine question why can't you all just recognize when somethings not fucking funny? Genocide happens irl it has killed maybe some of your loved ones or your loved ones loved ones you're adults act like it.
// I'm autistic but that doesn't give me an excuse to not recognize when something isn't funny I shouldn't have to post ooc as my silly joke account about this shit
(( exactly. like guys come the fuck on
Just gonna put this out there. If you advocate for the culling of an entire caste, irregardless of which hue it is, I do not fuck with you. I do not care about your "why." You can fuck right off. Thanks.
(( Hey so like. What the fuck did I come back to.
(( Yeah, that last part is why I'm fucking pissed.
(( I'm okay.
(( yea alright i was here for the start but now im lost
(( genuinely zero idea where that came up from. i think some people just took the "kill cronus" to the extreme which is... not a good jump to make
(( I heard TWO of them went crazy and that somehow escalated into "kill all violets" posting.
(( I hate Cronus as a character too but that shit is not very haha fucking funny, no.
(( a second cronus has- mannnn ok thats wild.
(( exactly. like if anything all my ic yelling has been "get his ass" i have NO fucking clue where the anti-violet sentiment suddenly exploded from.
(( It's partially because they're the aristocracy, inevitably. Cultural context. But I feel like we ought to have some fucking limits.
(( yeep. makin a reminder post ooc rn
