OUROBROS IS AWESOME: Let me tell you why.
Long ramble post, but I think I’m the only rarepairer for dirk x jake x caliborn. And let me just tell you it’s fucking awesome. Think House of Dirk but ten times funnier given they live in Jakes mansion and it’s full of the most fucked up shit known to man.Â
ourobros is the yang to janecallieroxy ying and its because calliope helps jane and roxy mediate out and so does caliborn with dirk and jake. because while calliope for jane and roxy is like, able to help them be more openminded, caliborn is the perfect outlet for them to be jerks and bitch and complain which is HARD because dirk and jake are very much hard on themselves. but around caliborn they're able to joke and mess around and stuff, which they do a LOT around him. Moreso it allows them to be meaner than they give themselves. (see: jake making gay jokes or dirk messing around with drawings.
caliborn admires jake and dirk in different ways, for jake he sees him as a protege to beat his ass and also well yk, the stuff with his outfit on halloween, for dirk well, you'll have to look to the text there's some intimacy there.
ourobros is dirkjake minus the angst plus shits and giggles cus every thursday they have to hope to god the low wage workers at kmart dont kick them out of the kiosk because caliborn threw a tantrum, putting multiple lives at risk.
basically encompassing how they build off each other, its really cool. if masculinity is about being cold hard, Â to the point, logical and unwavering, thats dirk. if masculinity is being the hero, getting the girls and all the power (jake harley here) then that's jake. caliborn builds himself off of them.
