Dirk looked up from his book to see Jake’s smiling face
before him. Of course, with a Jake
smile, he never knew quite what to expect, but at least he was happy. Dirk thumbed down his page to save it, then
set it aside.
“What’s up?”
“Well, I’ve been working a bit on a bit of a… project. A
project that I know you have quite a bit of experience with yourself. I was hoping you’d do your boyfriend a little
favor and help him out?”
Dirk had to stifle a smile, but the truth was he was
curious. What could Jake need? Robotic help? Philosophy help? Sunglasses
help? Dirk was pretty good at all of those.
He noticed for the first time that Jake was holding something behind his
back, not even bothering to be subtle.
“What do you need, Jake?” He motioned to whatever Jake was
holding. “No need to hide it.”
Jake looked flustered for a moment, before taking a piece of
paper from behind his back and handing it to Dirk. “You have the know-how about this sort of
thing, I figured you’d know the best approach.”
Dirk was a little confused as to why Jake was being so vague
until he looked at the paper. On it was
a very crudely drawn picture, apparently done with colored pencils, of an anthropomorphic
wolf. The wolf was wearing a pair of
glasses, glowing slightly, and had a very familiar hairstyle on the top of its
head. The word “Hopefoot” was scribbled
in the margins of the page.
Dirk looked up at Jake with a face more stoic than he had
ever mustered before.
“No.”
“Aww, come on, Dirk!”
“No.”
“Look,” Jake said, folding his arms and pouting. “I’ve seen
the stuff you hide in your desk. You are
a veritable pro in the regard of human-like depictions of critters.”
Dirk’s façade broke slightly as he blushed. “That is private
material! And you’re not understanding, it’s much more than just that. It’s artistic! Why are we talking about this?”
“Dirk, you’re being ridiculous. This is not some big stinkin’ thing here.”
“It’s embarrassing and I’d just as soon drop it.”
Dirk made a big show of handing the paper back to Jake, but
faltered when he saw Jake’s face fall.
Jake sighed. “I know it’s silly, but I was just hoping it
could be this silly thing we did together. Please, Dirk?”
The Prince of Heart’s heart, of course, melted. He was being as dick and he knew it. Time to make amends. He fished a mechanical pencil out of his
shorts and clicked it. Jake perked up.
“I suppose I could help you with the design a bit. C’mere
and tell me what you were thinking.”
Dirk patted the seat on the couch next to him. Jake grinned. He made his way next to his boyfriend and sidled right up.
“So I was thinking he’d also have a horse for a boyfriend?”
“Now you’re speaking my language.”
My bud @revolutionaryduelist has a birthday today, and I figured the best gift I could give him was a bit of self-indulgent fluff. Happy 24th, man.
(I swear I’m not a furry.)

maybe you folks should ask yourselves why youre trying so hard to find reasons to demonize and hate Dream Daddy, a game with actual pure non-fetishized representation of mlm and honestly GBT men of all sorts that you’ll even go as far as to twist around components of a datamine into something theyre not
its okay to dislike GG, theyve done some shitty stuff in the past AND present, and i dont even watch them or like them, but this game isnt made by them. its released by them. it was made by a couple college art students who did a great job at putting representation and real experiences in this game and they worked so fuckin hard on it. you know what youre doing by trying to make this game fail, or torrenting it so it looks like it did worse than it actually did? assuring more games with positive representation aren’t made, or released, or even fucking bothered with. i fucking promise you, with GG’s youtube channel and band and whatever else they do, that you torrenting or boycotting the game isnt hurting them in the slightest. it’s hurting the creators, it’s hurting queer game-makers everywhere, and it’s hurting the genre of queer games made by queer people with good, unfetishized or sex-oriented stories/characters.
so maybe get your heads out of your cynical asses, accept nothing you consume will be perfect, and try to support something with a genuine and positive representation of both queer and trans men. its a fun, lighthearted game with good stories and relatable characters and frankly, im sick of yall trying to assure queer oriented games fail because of such miniscule shit.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa this was so cute i can’t believe you managed to get me to conceptually enjoy my two greatest enemies: the cold and waking up early
