hal-strider replied to your post: dumb college/profession au/future shit

i talk about this all the time and everyones like noo dirk wouldnt do art but he DOES do art ok we SEe HIM literally do it ;o;

JUSTICE FOR ARTIST DIRK!!! I think it’s because dirk is such a cerebral analytical person and he does admittedly have his robot thing, even though that’s not really dwelt on outside of it as a reflection of his identity issues (and I’ve long held that robots are just a futuristic outgrowth of puppets). dirk draws his shit for caliborn, owns a tablet, but even when caliborn isn’t harassing him to draw “porn” doodles stuff (like him kissing jake, dirk, please) and like I said in that post, even bro, whom I Do Not Like, has mentions of his interest in art.

Like I said I get where engineer/mechanics/robotics dirk comes from but it’s just not my jam. Dirk Strider is a sensitive soul who pretends to be too good for that shit because he’s afraid it makes him look weak! Therefore Dirk the artist who thinks he “should” major in something else. (Maybe the other alphas convince him to switch majors. Then he ends up happy, albeit he would sell his soul for 1 corn chip like most art majors.)
