I genuinely don't know whether I want Connie to have a positive influence so Dirk doesn't continue to indirectly corrupt her or whether I want her to get worse. Hm. Anyways, I'll be using this plurk for rolls soon.
Dirk.... had a totally naive immune system when he arrived. Which is to say, he'd never actually been exposed to anything that required its protection? All the human diseases had kind of ceased to circulate by his time, and then he was a god?
So he got a cold, it fucked him the hell UP and he kept trying to power through it until his Rotom got ahold of Carly and she tried to give him cold medicine, he flipped on her AND John and Jane, who had just arrived,
He no longer has a Rotom because he was that pissed about it breaking the "rules" he'd established, also it turns out even Dirk Strider sleeps when you put enough cold medicine
Connie: I can't believe that anybody would think Rick is supposed to be cool. He's clearly a tragic wreck of a man designed to lampoon Byronic, intellectual stereotypes, and the way he self-destructs in fast forward is just pitiful. Connie: Anyways, isn't Dirk cool?
This is why Jack is so quick to try and bond with transplant Rockets, because he sees it (in his way) the same. Native Rockets? Essentially background decoration and people he can throw under the bus. Transplants? That's his team.
raile if you can explain when u can...im at work cries
Connie: Anyways, isn't Dirk cool?
Dirk, walking into his house and calling him and Steven addictsHE'S NOT WRONG...about Jack at least
