Dirk Strider and Kanaya Maryam from Homestuck are moirails!

shoutout to the two dirkkri fans out there.

i am cleaning out my files, so have this lovely

[1:47:51 PM] DS: Theyre both such assholes and are never going to fucking learn how to be fuckin polite unless someone puts a stop to their shit and properly explains to them what they're doing wrong, and they do that for each other. Kankri is the kind of person that would attempt to understand Dirk, and make him comfortable. Dirk is very closed off, and that's just the kind of interaction he needs to open up. He, meanwhile, would not take any of Kankri's shit, and would know all of the right things to say to make him shut up, or tell him he's being obnoxious. [1:47:57 PM] DS: They're good for each other in that way. [1:48:55 PM] DS: They're also both not big on touch, so they'd be cautious with pushing their boundaries. When you're cautious and careful with someone like that, they can see that you care about them and you'll be careful with how you touch them, so they're more likely to open up to you. In that way, they're also a good match. [1:50:47 PM] DS: Dirk had a lot of issues with emotion, and Kankri is good at breaking that down and tracing the roots, and figuring out all the reasons why someone could be upset. He could figure out Dirk's emotions with minimal revealance on Dirk's part, and he would help him with his emotions, rather than judge him. Dirk might learn to just give up on hiding from Kankri, because Kankri can read him anyway. Kankri is very open and big on putting everything out there at once and explaining things, unlike Dirk, so he would help Dirk to open up a bit more. [1:52:06 PM] DS: I think Kankri has a lot of internal issues going on, and that's why he's such a social justice warrior. He tries to make others better and understand others more because he doesn't understand himself, so he just focuses on other people. Dirk is really good at figuring out himself and things about himself. He understands what he's thinking and why he's angry at himself and others and he understands his emotions. Kankri doesn't. Not by far. Dirk could be good at teaching him to learn that. [1:52:30 PM] DS: Idk there are so many reasons why their relationship would balance each other out and benefit each other. [1:53:37 PM] DS: On the other hand, you have the more silly traditional couple things. They're both really good at noticing things about people and remembering them. Insanely good. So they'd know a lot about  one another and remember each other's little quirks and things. [1:53:57 PM] DS: Dirk would know just what to say to make Kankri snort softly and shake his head, trying not to smile. [1:54:13 PM] DS: Kankri would know just what horrible jokes to crack to make Dirk grin. [1:54:43 PM] DS: Kankri would know exactly what things to say to Dirk to make him feel better, and exactly how to prepare his coffee in the mornings. [1:55:25 PM] DS: Dirk would have all of Kankri's favorite soap operas memorized, and he'd know exactly which blankets and pillows Kankri liked best. [1:57:53 PM] DS: Dirk overhearing Kankri being rude in a rant and walking over to get him to lighten up on the other person a little more. Dirk pulling Kankri into a hug and teasing him and bickering with him about public displays of affection to distract him from particularly long or rude rants. [1:59:49 PM] DS: Kankri occasionally slipping innuendos into his long sermons for Dirk to catch because he knows Dirk is always at least halflistening to what he says when he talks to other people and Dirk snorting suddenly into his hand as the person Kankri was ranting to snaps out of their daze in confusion and Kankri just continues speaking now that he's recaught their attention. [2:00:28 PM] DS: DIrk being one of the few people who always pays one hundred percent attention to Kankri's rants, and that's one of the reasons why he can cut him off on his bullshit, because he actually catches the words and calls him out on it. [2:01:34 PM] DS: Kankri knowing exactly where to find Dirk when Dirk disappears, just sitting down next to him quietly and not disturbing him, waiting until he's ready to speak. [2:02:09 PM] DS: Dirk knowing exactly which blanket to bring Kankri and how to make his hot chocolate when Kankri's locked up in his room, upset about something or other. [2:03:15 PM] DS: Dirk stretching out on Kankri's lap while Kankri reads like a big lazy cat. [2:04:03 PM] DS: Dirk shoving his head up under Kankri's sweater and hugging onto Kankri while Kankri tries to shove him out again and scolds him [2:04:50 PM] DS: Kankri curling up at Dirk's side and purring softly [2:05:37 PM] DS: Kankri's purr reminds Dirk of a robot's engine and now completing a new robot reminds him of Kankri when he starts it up so the first thing he does after he finds out it works alright is come find Kankri and show it to him [2:06:39 PM] DS: Kankri and Dirk eating entire tubs of ice cream because "Nah, bro, it's totally fine. Stop worrying. Don't even try to tell me you're not tempted." [2:07:29 PM] DS: Dirk convincing Kankri to sneak into places at night with him and they end up having a shit ton of fun and Kankri forgets that what they did was illegal [2:07:56 PM] DS: Dirk trying to get Kankri to watch anime (it fails so magnificently) [2:08:04 PM] Lovingly Heartbroken: pff [2:08:05 PM] Lovingly Heartbroken: omg [2:08:14 PM] DS: I can go on forever omfg [2:08:14 PM] Lovingly Heartbroken: Kankri rying to watch anime [2:08:26 PM] DS: im not even done holy shit [2:08:32 PM] Lovingly Heartbroken: Hehe [2:08:41 PM] Lovingly Heartbroken: these are really cute! [2:09:20 PM] DS: Kankri coming to Dirk for help because his husktop is "broken" and Dirk is just like "Are you shitting me the battery is fucking dead it isn't broken" [2:10:38 PM] DS: Kankri finding out that Dirk is short for Diederick or Dietrich [2:10:52 PM] DS: Dirk calling Kankri "Kanks" and it pisses Kankri off [2:12:08 PM] DS: Dirk occasionally using shitty pet names and Kankri just letting it slide because he doesn't do it that often and he likes the way the words sound in Dirk's voice [2:13:12 PM] DS: Kankri internally freaking out at Dirk's scars and calmly asking where they're from but being really cautious about it and ranting about how Dirk doesn't have to tell him if DIrk doesn't want to until Dirk shuts him up and explains it's from the Condesce's bots, his own bots, and building accidents [2:13:40 PM] DS: Dirk flipping the fuck out and raging for a solid three hours when he finds out why Kankri has scars (mutant bloods, man) [2:18:38 PM] DS: Kankri refusing to shut up with the ranting and go home and refusing to leave and Dirk being so fucking done with his three sweep old boyfriend so he just picks him up and slings him over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and carries him out the door while Kankri pounds on his back lightly and yells at him. "Kanks, don't make me go Finding Nemo on your ass." "Diederick Strider if y9u even think a69ut it I will pers9nally f9rcefully esc9rt y9ur "plush rump" 6ack t9 y9ur h9meland." "I touched the butt." "DIEDERICK MARCELINE STRIDER" [2:24:29 PM] DS: Dave is horrified when he finds out his brother is dating his boyfriend's dancestor [2:24:40 PM] DS: Karkat is even more horrified that anyone would date Kankri period [2:24:46 PM] Lovingly Heartbroken: omg [2:25:07 PM] Lovingly Heartbroken: Karkat not believing Kankri got a Matesprit [2:25:26 PM] DS: ikr [2:27:52 PM] DS: Dirk and Kankri both knowing each other's full names. Dirk because Porrim said it, Kankri because Dirk made the mistake of telling him. [2:28:16 PM] Lovingly Heartbroken: Wait, Kankri's *full name?* [2:28:20 PM] DS: yes [2:28:33 PM] DS: no one knows but himself and porrim [2:28:41 PM] DS: and also dirk [2:28:44 PM] Lovingly Heartbroken: But [2:28:46 PM] Lovingly Heartbroken: What is it? [2:28:58 PM] DS: idk do I look like one of those three to you [2:29:13 PM] Lovingly Heartbroken: you [2:29:15 PM] Lovingly Heartbroken: are the most [2:29:19 PM] Lovingly Heartbroken: annoying person [2:29:28 PM] Lovingly Heartbroken: on the whole damn planet [2:29:42 PM] Lovingly Heartbroken: you know that, right? [2:30:25 PM] DS: Kankri threw an absolute fit when Porrim said his middle name in front of Dirk and ranted at her for hours while Dirk sat there and had a good laugh. She never said it in front of anyone else (but Dirk, for their own personal amusement- it became an inside joke) again. Dirk will occasionally use it when they're alone to mess with Kankri, but rarely. [2:30:28 PM] DS: Yes I know.
