SKDMFAF okay full confession I never in ANY HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIO anticipated Dirk Strider would EVER have a boyfriend in this game. It just seemed like a pretty sound guarantee that this was something I would never have to worry about.
Between his trust issues, metatextual awareness, literal god complex, INTENSE fixation on Jake, toxic masculinity, extremely rigid standards, and... I don't even know, everything else, I WAS SURE THAT THERE WAS NO WAY IT COULD EVER POSSIBLY COME UP
