It's pretty self-explanatory.

This blog is inspired by a whole fuckton of trailblazers before me: those who have sought to become ( @amijohndaveyet @becomingjadedavekat @amidirkyet ) and those who have sought to unbecome ( @unbecomingjohnegbert @unbecomingkarkat ). More names will be added when a dude’s not doing this shit on the fly. You know how it is.

I should stress that this blog is not about self-harm, just to get that out of the way. I know I have what some might consider somewhat of a history of trying to unbecome Dirk in ways that are probably best described as toxically unhealthy.

I'm gonna do this shit the right way this time. This isn't the story of an ending to Dirk Strider. It's the story of the beginning of something else. I don’t want to control the narrative, just my narrative.

Basically let's just say that therapy's expensive, but blogging is free. I've done some things as Dirk I'm not proud of, and I don't want to be that fucking guy anymore. Call it a change of heart if you want. Pun intended.

What else do you even need to know? Pronouns? I don't care about pronouns. In fact, throw whatever at me and we'll see what sticks. Maybe it'll even help me unbecome Dirk in record time.

Perfection is a lofty and fruitless endeavor so I won’t bother aiming for daily updates. I say through gritted teeth.

((i have not read beyond canon/hs^2, though i have read meat and candy. idk if it matters. this blog will feature headcanons and an exploration of dirk from a personal perspective of his character. a very personal opinion for sure.))
