re: dirk in canon vs. fanon 

have we ever, like. is dirk ever mean to anyone in canon? other than the breakup with jake, he never yells at anyone, ever. he’s wildly nice to roxy even when he’s pretty clearly in an uncomfortable situation or frustrated. 

yeah, he’s pretty sarcastic, but i’m pretty solid that he doesn’t ever make fun of someone meanly, only ever as teasing or a joke (dirk, not the AR or bgd). 

i mean, hell, he’s even vaguely friendly to caliborn, who would be pretty easy to hate. 

im not going to go digging through canon for evidence, but. yeah. thoughts. 

i did dig through the canon for evidence and yeah you’re right the absolute closest dirk ever comes to a mean word is saying Jake should believe in stuff more critically (which is true and Jake’s willful ignorance hurts Dirk PERSONALLY) and that Jane should be less skeptical (and we see how badly Jane’s skepticism hurts roxy) other than the time he breaks up with Jake

Dirk is literally, canonically probably the sweetest kid in the comic lmao 

people have this really weird misreading of dirk because he’s pretty brusque and unapproachable in the few lines he gets in a6a1 and people also tend to attribute stuff the AR says to him (and blame him for bgd being occasionally cutting even though the comic establishes that bgd is jake’s proxy for being mean to himself) 

dirk is an asshole to caliborn when time is short pre-S/U and because caliborn is a fuckwad back but during the flashback log seems to humor him, albeit treating him (appropriately) like a tantrumming infant. he’s mean-ish when the tricksters approach him but this is bookended by extreme frustration, his boyfriend ghosting him, and the AR “screening his calls” so he feels isolated only to discover everybody else was getting fucked up on alien sugardrugs. 

but people have this weird attitude that his default is being mean to everybody while dirk tries to be STOIC (it’s fake) but is very rarely mean
