CRYING WHAT DO YOU MEAN IM CRYING? NO IM NOT CRYING IM FUCKING DYING THATS WHAT IM DOING FFFFFFFUCK MY HEART
Dave no.
No…..
Like I think this is so subtle but really important–all Dave’s life he’s had this high bar set by Bro on what it means to be cool, and it amounted to distance and aloofness and unemotionality. So much of Dave’s esteem and confidence is tied into this notion of coolness
And Dirk, the alt kid version of his Bro, so easily and casually is just like, “yeah, that type of “cool” is basically meaningless. I can talk to you and relate to you, which is way better”….like it’s a small thing, but I think in terms of Dave letting go of the toxic attitudes of Bro and relating to Dirk in a healthy and individual way, that small gesture is a really important sign of respect and sincerity to Dave’s emotions and personality that Bro never extended
It just hit me that in pretty much every single shitty pixel update, Dave was the one going somewhere else on the building top to get away from Dirk because he reminded him of Bro and he really didn’t want to talk to him
and Dirk was the one following Dave around the building because Dave reminded him of his idol and he really wanted to get to know him
Before i’d just been interpreting them as equally uncomfortable because they were both facing someone who was like their role models but different, but that’s not it at all, is it? They were having completely different reactions for the past two weeks.
