I have also been distracted and sleepy. Apologies.

There’s is a lot of uncomfortable black and white thinking in this ask.

there are suggestions that it was lil cal’s influence/caliborn tbh, since saw is basically cal’s whole creepy thing throughout the comic ]]

honestly, imma need to get to caliborn’s part in the story (ugh) before i formulate a definitive opinion on that concept. like, i’ve gotten there before but it’s been so long i need to re-read this entire damn thing and i might just...... not do that...... and only read the first three acts. idrk yet.

i was talking to a buddy last night, though and he was saying that.... this is kind of just.... how dirk is... lol. like. he’s manipulative and brutal, even if he does deeply care for his friends. it all comes from a good place, but he doesn’t exactly have the best methods of getting there? (least not at first anyway.)

even alpha dirk beats the shit routinely out of jake (via brobot). not to be an asshole but because he wants him to be better because he cares, ultimately. it’s not implausible that beta dirk/bro was basically the same way with dave (and he clearly knew.. something? about the game? unless he’s just omnipotent i guess). this obviously doesn’t excuse fuckin throwing a child down a STAIRCASE but you know. same gist.

What thwe fuck

I do strongly dislike people who can’t understand what the word no means, or who otherwise cannot respect others’ boundaries without guilt tripping them, so I don’t really feel sorry for saying it. ��‍♂️

For once.
