Ask the Holistics, the Assistants, and the Gays

Got a question for me, Todd or the squad (THAT RYHMES!!)? Well, ask away! ~ Dirk *Rated PG for Pretty Gay ~ Amanda*

[askbrotzly]

Bart? Hi. I hope you're okay. I'm sorry everything is so confusing, just ... remember that you're smart, okay? You can make your own choices. You'll figure this out. And Ken ... I don't know what to say. I haven't given up on you, though. I haven't given up on your ability to make connections, to tackle whatever has frightened you by working with others instead of trying to control them. I know the support of a random anon doesn't mean much, there it is. And Priest: Fuck off.

Woah, lady, that’s some language you got there. Then again, maybe you’re justified, or whatever - I don’t care either way. ~ Priest

You don’t know that they’re a girl! It’s not nice to assume. ~ Bart

I’m not very nice myself, you see. ~ Priest

Well, you could try to be nicer. ~ Bart

Try to be-? Ha; you’ve got a hell of a humour to be saying that. ~ Priest

I’m not joking, Mr- ~ Bart

You two need to get back to work. We haven’t made enough progress, and we need to find Project Lamia and Todd Brotzman’s sister. Urgently. ~ Ken

But couldn’t we answer some questions? The people wanna know what they wanna know. ~ Bart

You gotta say, blowing off some steam on these people is relaxing. ~ Priest

Answer one or two, then get back to work. And anon, I’m not scared. I’ve just…realised how people work, how the Universe works; it’s connected. But I’m sure Dirk’s told you that enough times. I’m not the bad guy here- ~ Ken

I am. I’m working with Ken over here, by the way. Ain’t nobody controlling me. As for Project Marzanna here- ~ Priest

I told you, I’m Bart now. I don’t like that name. And anon, you seem really nice. If the rest of the world was nice like you, and like my friend, I think I could be…happy. But the world…it’s too much, you know? It makes me feel anxious, or something. Do you know what that is?It’s simpler, sticking to this. I don’t gotta think about everything then. ~ Bart

[askbrotzly]

Dirk, you are a great friend and anyone would be lucky to have you as a friend. You are also very brave and very kind and we all love you.

Look at this. Ain’t this cute? ~ Priest

You should leave them alone. Friends are good. I only had one real friend. He died, though. Maybe he was fixed. I dunno anymore. ~ Bart

Friends aren’t that necessary, Bart. Allies are better. ~ Ken

No, friends are better. They make you feel…not bad. They make you laugh, you know? A friend is good. ~ Bart

You should see Project Icarus now. He’s not being that brave. It’s funny, in a sort of way. Y’all think you know him. ~ Priest

Dirk Gently is not a bad man. My friend didn’t hate him. He was kind. You were right anon, I think. World’s not a good place. He wasn’t mean, though. ~ Bart

Be careful what you say,  Project Marzanna. We might not let you call yourself Bart. ~ Priest

Leave it, Mr Priest. She’s with us, aren’t you, Bart? ~ Ken

Yeah, whatever. Everything’s too complicated. The Universe is broken. ~ Bart

Everything’s good, Bart. Don’t think about it too much. We have a job to do. ~ Ken

[askbrotzly]

This is Blackwing

We’ve got full control of the agency now. You are all- ~ Ken

Are people seeing this? Are we in public now? ~ Bart

Yes, Bart, we’ve taken control of the agency, as I said. Anyway- ~ Ken

I don’t have to kill anyone? I don’t want to kill them. The Universe doesn’t want me to. ~ Bart

No, you don’t have to kill anyone, yet. But remember that you don’t have to- ~ Ken

Listen to the Universe, the Universe is wrong, blah blah blah. You’ve told me all this stuff before. I get it. ~ Bart

Heh. Ken, you might wanna get this one under control, too. ~ Priest

Look, everything is fine. We just have to let the people know that it’s all going to be alright, if they listen to what we have to say. Hold on, Mr Priest - you’re meant to be looking after the hostages. ~ Ken

I got Assistent on them. ~ Priest

But Assistent isn’t- ~ Ken

He’s scared; that’s what he is. He’s gonna do as I told him to. ~ Priest

Is Project Incubus with Project Icarus? Are they in direct contact with anyone? ~ Ken

Nah, they’re in separate rooms. Can’t have them feeding off people, can we? ~ Priest

Correct. Now, don’t worry, everyone; ‘Dirk Gently’ is unharmed. He’s safe now, and all of you can go about your daily business. ~ Ken

What if they want to ask questions? We’ll let them ask questions, yeah? ~ Bart

And there are some precious ones left in the inbox. I reckon we could have a bit of fun. ~ Priest

Fine. But don’t forget what we’re here to do. ~ Ken

[askbrotzly]

Hi! I hope you all have a great day! Also, I've got a question : Where Dirk buys these awesome jackets? Do you even buy them or you just holistically find them? I want a jacket like that too but I can't find them 🤔

That is a brilliant question! No one seems to appreciate how much effort goes into these clothes! ~ Dirk

You just see a jacket you like, and then insist on buying it. ~ Todd

Yes, well, there’s nothing wrong with being able to spot good jackets. And that’s not all there is to it! In fact, I can make a list. ~ Dirk

Dirk, I’m not sure anyone wants- ~ Todd

I stumble across an amazing jacket in a store just out of the blue, and buy it,

I do end up finding jackets, like that time at the police station in Bergsberg,

I just happen to be wearing it (the fur coat is still in Bergsberg, though),

And if I’m lucky, someone will give me one as a present!

That’s basically it, anon. Looking at vintage stores can be a really good idea, but otherwise, I just sort of…have them. ~ Dirk

Okay, you’ve answered the question, have a great day too, anon, but I really need Dirk and Todd now. Like, right now. ~ Amanda

But I haven’t told them about- ~ Dirk

Dude, I’m serious. You both need to come with me. This is…well, you’ll find out. ~ Amanda

[askbrotzly]

I hope you manage to solve your case! Have this boring question to break it up! What would would you all tell your younger selves? (Todd you can’t use not lying) Also Todd? Just tell him. Just tell him how you feel because I’m sure he feels the same. Blackwing wasn't easy, just be ready to listen and comfort. Don’t lose out on something because you’re worried you’re not worth it or not deserving. Everyone deserves to be happy and be loved greatly as I’m sure you're told often. Best of luck!

Thank you. We have like, ten minutes a day to spend answering questions, and some of them require a lot of thought. This question’s not boring in any way; it’s just easier to answer. ~ Farah

In some cases. I don’t even know what to say now. ~ Todd

Well, I would tell my younger self that I don’t need my family’s approval. I don’t need anyone’s approval. I need to work for myself, and be happy in myself. ~ Farah

I was going to tell my younger self that I should’ve definitely bought that rainbow jacket, but now that just sounds boring next to you, Farah.~ Dirk

I think that’s valid. ~ Farah

Dude, this is not an easy question. What would I say to my younger self? I dunno. Believe in yourself, maybe? I based a lot of my hopes on other people; my brother, for one. It made it really hard for me to just be me, you know? Like, when I was alone, I just…freaked out. But I can depend on myself now. I do appreciate everyone else, by the way. ~ Amanda

We know. If I wasn’t telling my younger self not to lie (thanks a lot, anon), I’d probably say that I shouldn’t just keep to myself. I should’ve taken more chances, done more things, had a little more hope. I didn’t really trust Dirk, at first, and I was afraid to let go of what I knew. But I made the right decision, luckily. I just…yeah. I needed to be braver. ~ Todd

Well, I think that you’re very brave, Todd. ~ Dirk

(You two are perfect for each other.) ~ Amanda

(You literally bring this up every time, Amanda. It’s called having friends, like I’ve said, I don’t know, a million times!) ~ Todd

(Okay, first of all, I haven’t brought it up at least twice, and second of all, it’s obvious-) ~ Amanda

Todd, there’s another part of the question addressed to you. You might want to answer it. ~ Farah

Oh hell, yeah. Answer it, Todd. ~ Amanda

Okay, anon, I personally apologise for my sister. She’s got it into everyone’s heads that I like Dirk or something- ~ Todd

Wait. You don’t…like me? ~ Dirk

No, Dirk, I do like you- ~ Todd

Ha! See? Confession. Confession right there. ~ Amanda

If you’d let me finish, Amanda, I was saying that, I do like you, Dirk, just in a friends sort of way. Not what everyone else is suggesting. ~ Todd

So, are other people saying that we should- ~ Dirk

No, they’re not, um, saying anything. It’s all good. Just Amanda being Amanda. Anon, I understand what you’re saying about Blackwing, and I’m helping him work through that. There’s still a lot of things to do, but as for ‘losing out’ on something, I don’t really- ~ Todd

Todd, you have got to see this! ~ Dirk

[askbrotzly]

Just stopping by to say you all are truly the best. And if any of you do the thing I do where if someone compliments a group of people you are a part of, you implicitly assume they means everyone except you, please don't. I really do mean ALL of you. Yes that includes you, Todd. I promise. I wish you all the best.

Oh, Todd, look at this! ~ Dirk

Dude, I agree. Todd, get over here. ~ Amanda

That’s really thoughtful of you, anon. I think we all need to remember that sometimes. Especially Todd.~ Farah

Hey, guys. What? ~ Todd

Todd, look at this absolutely lovely post because all of us think you need to see it. ~ Dirk

That’s some good positivity. I like it. ~ Hobbs

Yeah, same. We all gotta stick together and appreciate ourselves. We’re all a team! ~ Tina

Being happy’s important. ~ Mona

I mean, I don’t do it often. It can be hard sometimes, when you think of the not-so-good things you’ve already done. But I get what you’re saying, anon. Thanks, I guess. ~ Todd

Todd, you are really important to us all, and knowing your own self worth is equally as important. ~ Dirk

Exactly, Dirk. Everyone should be able to appreciate themselves. ~ Farah

Thanks for swinging by, anon! ~ TIna

[askbrotzly]

Random question time: If the universe would grant you all one wish (and I mean actually grant it in a positive way—this isn't one of those 'be careful what you wish for' parables) what would you ask it for?

Right now? It would be for the Universe to just solve this case for us. ~ Todd

Currently, yes. I agree. Although I would wish for some more time; we’re so busy, we don’t even have enough time to answer all these questions, and that just…makes me feel guilty. A little. ~ Farah

Both valid points, but anon’s not talking about right now, are they? They’re asking in general. So, anon, I wish that, maybe sometimes, the Universe would work with me. I mean, yes, I get it, the Universe isn’t good or bad, it’s just the Universe, but it can get really frustrating. The Universe gave me Todd, though, for which I am eternally grateful. ~ Dirk

Seriously? I mean, c’mon. How are you two not a couple? ~ Amanda

Amanda, for the last time, shut up. ~ Todd

No, Todd. I’m here to answer anon’s question. Anon, if I got a wish- ~ Amanda

Amanda, if you say it- ~ Todd

-It would be for Todd and Dirk to just get together already. It’s the main source of annoyance for me. Everyone sees it except these two idiots. It would probably the best thing Todd’s done, anyway. ~ Amanda

Amanda, I- ~ Todd

Anon, my wish still stands. Everyone could use some more time, right? There’s a lot of things we don’t have enough time to do, and I think that if I had more time, I’d probably be more relaxed. ~ Farah

I still wish I could play music professionally now and then, but it’s not something that I need. If I had a wish though, it would probably be to write songs that would end up on the radio. ~ Todd

That sounds really cool! We should do that sometime! ~ Dirk

Tina and Hobbs are out at the moment. We’re looking for signs of Blackwing in the vicinity. It’s really weird, though. They find things that just end up connecting to the case… ~ Farah

Yeah, my original wish still stands. None of this makes sense. We just know that it’s connected. ~ Todd

[askbrotzly]

I hope I’m not bugging you but how are all of you?

Honestly, I’m just…tired. Tired should be an emotion. ~ Todd

I may be a little exhausted, but this new case is so…exciting! I’m feeling really good right now, @a-deliciouslyfadingcollection. ~ Dirk

I have multiple headaches, @a-deliciouslyfadingcollection. This…new case is just…yeah. I agree with Todd. ~ Farah

I’m pretty relaxed. I went to the coffee shop across the road and got everyone doughnuts, because dude, they look shattered. ~ Amanda

There were so many doughnuts! And Amanda got me three! ~ Vogel

I actually got them for all of- ~ Amanda

We don’t mind too much. Vogel can have ‘em. ~ Martin

This case is insane. I’ve never seen anything like it. ~ Hobbs

Well, you were out for some of the crazy stuff that went on, but I mostly agree. It’s just like, everything is connected. Like, super connected. But it also makes no sense. ~ Tina

I’m getting déjà vu. This reminds me of the first case. All these connections are…really confusing. ~ Farah

Well, yes, but the Universe is hardly simple, is it? ~ Dirk

I can feel something, though. Wakti Wapnasi warned me about it. I just…I’m getting confused too. ~ Amanda

That makes us all feel so much better. ~ Todd

Actually, I think you’ll find that it- ~ Dirk

Sarcasm! I was being sarcastic, Dirk. ~ Todd

Oh. Sorry. I guess I am quite knackered. Definitely worth it, though. ~ Dirk

[askbrotzly]

Amanda, I love you for insisting on the 'Brotzly' tag ;)

What does it even mean? ~ Dirk

Wait, anon, do you know what it means? ~ Todd

We all did rock paper scissors for each role on the blog. No one really knew what tags were, so they were perfectly fine with giving me full control. ~ Amanda

Big mistake. But, seriously, anon, do you know what it means? ~ Todd

Wait, dude: you don’t know what it means? ~ Tina

Tina, as our friend, we are begging you to tell us what brotzly stands for. ~ Dirk

Yeah, well it’s basically- ~ Tina

I swear, Tina, finish that sentence and I’ll- ~ Amanda

Okay, okay. Let’s all just…calm it down. As long as Amanda gets the message across, we don’t really mind what else she adds. ~ Farah

Speak for yourself. ~ Todd

It’s funny, though, how the word starts with ‘Brotz’, like your surname. Maybe it’s one of those words like, slowly, or softly- ~ Dirk

…Or Gently. Amanda, I am going to kill you. ~ Todd

Wait, what? What is it? ~ Dirk

Don’t worry, dude. You’ll get it one day. ~ Tina

[askbrotzly]

This is addressed to all of you: Did Dirk ever talk about what happened to him in Blackwing? Especially to Todd? Todd, were you a jerk about it ( "... I'm sorry Blackwing didn't you teach you that..." ) Or did you try to be nice? Maybe because you were less stressed out? Dirk, how do you handle panic attacks now if you get them? Did you ever sign up for therapy?

Wait, I thought you’d told us everything. What happened in Blackwing?~ Todd

It’s nothing, Todd, let’s not worry about it. ~ Dirk

No, this is important. If they did anything- ~ Todd

I said leave it, Todd. Please. Now, anyway, we’ve got an exciting new case to work on- ~ Dirk

Dirk, we’re not going to push you, but this could be important, like Todd said, especially considering that they may be- ~ Farah

Blackwing’s only okay when I’m with Dirk. But it made Dirk really unhappy. I don’t want him to be sad like that again. ~ Mona

Wait, Mona, do you know what they did? ~ Todd

Look, it’s really not- ~ Dirk

They did some really mean things to him. If he didn’t get stuff right, they would- ~ Mona

Mona, no, this is all in the past- ~ Dirk

Electrocute him and- ~ Mona

They did what?! ~ Todd

Dude, that’s really twisted. Why didn’t you tell us? ~ Amanda

Well, I…didn’t think it was necessary. ~ Dirk

Not necessary?! Dirk, they hurt you! You need to tell us these things! I swear, I’m going to- ~ Todd

Okay, this is…horrible. It’s just really, really barbaric. But we can’t charge at them. I didn’t want to tell you guys yet, but I think they’ve been monitoring us. ~ Farah

Seriously? Does anyone else have anything they’d like to say? ~ Todd

I ate the doughnut I bought you last Wednesday. ~ Tina

Not…what I meant, but okay… ~ Todd

I thought we’d be safe as long as they weren’t confident enough to strike, but if that’s the full sort of thing they do, then we have got to get out of here. ~ Farah

No! no, we can’t just leave! We’ve just started taking control. We’ve got a new case! This…this is why I didn’t want to let it out. I don’t want to ruin this. Please. Now, we’ve really got to get our heads around this case; it’s quite peculiar- ~ Dirk

Dirk, we’re not leaving. Farah, we were on the run for a month. Longer. Yeah, we basically kept away from them, but it wasn’t...living. We can’t do that to Dirk. ~ Todd

I wholly agree, Todd. Wonderful assisting. Right, so- ~ Dirk

No, wait. Dirk. We need to talk about this. ~ Todd

Anon, I can tell you that we do this weekly thing, where we all just sit in one room, and talk. It’s probably the closest we get to therapy, but it helps. Todd’s always there for Dirk when he panics, but I’m not fully sure what he exactly does. None of us really are- ~ Farah

They just kiss each other and cuddle. ~ Amanda

Um, Amanda, that’s not - ~ Farah

So what do they do? ~ Amanda

None of us know- ~ Farah

Exactly. ~ Amanda

[askbrotzly]

I'm really lonely and I'd like some friends...I'd like to be friends with you, Dirk, and you, Amanda because you are both so nice ( if you'll have me ) but I'm kinda scared of Todd because he can be a bit...mean ( and anyway I don't think he'd want me around. Farah, you won't care one or another, so I'm not worried about you :P. Btw, I think you are super cool and badass and the agency is so lucky to have you ❤).

I’d love to be friends with you, anon! The more the merrier!~ Dirk

Dirk would be friends with everyone if he could, anon. Me, I’dbe chill hanging out with you…as long as you aren’t a jerk or anything- ~Amanda

Which anon definitelyisn’t. Just look at the love they’re sending! ~ Dirk

Dude, I was literally about to say that. But anon, if you’relonely, we could also help you meet other people or something, cos there arealways going to be people out there who the Universe just wants you to be friendswith. ~ Amanda

It can be a bit difficult finding them sometimes, so help isalways a good thing. I like the idea of being friends with people, so if you wantto be friends, we could make it work. And thank you for your support – I’m gladyou appreciate it. ~ Farah

We appreciate ittoo, Farah. I mean, we bring you doughnuts everyday; that has got to count forsomething. ~ Todd

I didn’t say- ~ Farah

Also, I’m fine with having others around. I just…I’m notsure it’s the best idea to just…befriends. I’m not exactly the friendliest person, as you can see. ~ Todd

Todd, don’t say that! You’re absolutely lovely just the way you are. Yes, you can be a little…blunt sometimes, but you’re not exactlyan extrovert, are you? But, we love you all the same. ~ Dirk

(Confession of love right there, guys.) ~ Amanda

(Platonic love, Amanda, so shut up.) ~ Todd

(Was that platonic love, Dirk?) ~ Amanda

(Of course it was! I didn’t sound like was confessing love, did I? And I said ‘we’. That’splatonic…right?) ~ Dirk

(Don’t worry; your secret’s safe with us.) ~ Amanda

(I definitely do not have a-) ~ Dirk

(Shut up, Amanda.)~ Todd

(Dude, you can be as overprotective of your boyfriend-to-beas you like. It’s still true.) ~ Amanda

(It is not!) ~Dirk

(Can we take this conversation elsewhere, please?) ~ Farah

[askbrotzly]

Dirk, do you ever wonder what would happen if your friends abandoned you? My bestie ditched me ( I'm sure she had her reasons ) and I'd like some tips on coping because right now I'm having trouble... functioning. To be honest. If anyone else would like to weigh in ( I'm looking at you, Farah ) that'd be great too. Amanda, Tina, Hobbs, I think you are all so cool. Todd, you are very brave and your friends are lucky to have you.

I have…consideredit before. But I’m almost alwaysaround my friends, you see, so I don’t really know what would happen. And yes, I am really lucky to have Todd. Actually, considering the number oftimes Todd, Farah, and the others have saved me, I may have already been- ~Dirk

Okay, you are not finishingthat sentence. Anon, Dirk is right. We’re always around each other. We all haveour personal experiences, so for us to give you tips might not be the bestidea. I’m sure that Dirk’s tips would be very different to Amanda’s tips, forexample, so we can’t really objectivelytell you what would help youindividually. ~ Farah

You said that she had her reasons. What reasons? Have youtwo, you know, talked? I mean, do you understand each other? ~ Hobbs

Yeah, that’s really important. Misunderstandings justescalate things, right? And, dude, you do notwant that. At least if you know what’s up…you know what’s up. Does that makesense? ~ Tina

I think Tina’s saying that if there’s a chance, you want to know that there’s a chance, not justgive up. You kinda also want to know if there isn’t. You’ll have moredirection; you’ll feel more in control. Knowing where I stand helps me. But,seriously though, everyone is special. Everyone deserves friendship. And I promise you’ll find it, even where youleast expect – and I can say that from experience. ~ Amanda

You shouldn’t push it, anon. If you both have drifted apart,there’s nothing wrong with fighting for it. But sometimes, the Universe mightwant you to move on. That’s what I’ve learned. And I guess, if I’d never movedon, I’d never have Dirk. ~ Todd

Friends aren’t alwaysfriends. But, we don’t want you to be sad. You could be our friend! ~ Mona

We can’t make it sound sweet, anon, because it’s not. It’sshitty. But we’re here for you. There are people out there who are there foryou. ~ Todd

My friends…they’re amazing.They’re the best thing that everhappened to me. The tips I’d give you…they’d only really apply to me. We’re alldifferent, like Farah said, but that’s not a bad thing. It just means that you have your own opportunities. We’llbe here if you need us! ~ Dirk

[askbrotzly]

Todd, does Dirk need a lot of reassurance? And what do you do to make sure he gets it?

He’s normally pretty chill, actually, although he does fussover little things. Like, he spent maybe half an hour placing a photo of us indifferent positions and mumbling about it until he was happy, once. ~ Todd

It had to be perfect,Todd. There’s nothing wrong withthat. ~ Dirk

I know, I’m just saying. But, anon, he does need a lot of reassurance in the heat of a case. He’s reallyemotionally charged about everything, so it can be stressful sometimes. When wewere looking for the dog, he started doubting himself. He was really worriedthat if he couldn’t do something so ‘simple’ as find a lost dog, he wouldn’t beable to anything at all. So, yeah. I needed to reassure him then. He might havenightmares sometimes, too. That’s…harder to deal with, but we get around it. ~Todd

Dirk has sleepover five nights a week at Todd’s. ~ Amanda

Dude, not cool! ~ Todd

You might as well tell them about the shared office. ~ Farah

I was going to do that, anyway, actually. You see, Farah andI were originally going to share an office, anon, because there was one big officeroom, and it wouldn’t be fair if one person got a massive office. But, itturned out that Dirk and I were more well-matched. Farah’s style just didn’t work with me. Dirk gets it a lot better.Plus, if he needs any reassurance, I’m right by him. ~ Todd

They’re so cute together, aren’t they? Now if only mybrother would get a move on… ~ Amanda

Amanda, for the last time, shut up. ~ Todd

Todd’s really helpful, though. He’s got some great jokes aswell, surprisingly. ~ Dirk

Surprisingly? ~Todd

Todd, your jokes are terrible.Dirk just really, really likes you. ~Amanda

Whilst I wouldn’t say allhis jokes are awful, I do agree with most of Amanda’s statement. ~ Farah

I do, too. ~ Mona

Mona! ~ Dirk

What? You’re both really good friends who care about eachother. That’s right, isn’t it? ~ Mona

Well, of course it is, but- ~ Dirk

What did you think she meant, Dirk? ~ Amanda

Well- ~ Dirk

Okay, that’s enough! ~ Todd

[askbrotzly]

Hey Todd! :D You said that bravery is 'the one thing' you like about yourself. Well, it has been said by moral philosophers that courage isn't a virtue so much as it is the capacity to enact ALL virtues, because the nature of virtue is to act in accordance to the good when you'd rather not, and that takes courage. tl;dr, the 'one' thing you like about yourself is in fact the capacity for all that is good and right, and by extension you are amazing. (And remember, there are no take-backs!!)

Wow, that’s some knowledge. I’m impressed. Also, Todd, she’sright. ~ Farah

I understood maybe three words of that. ~ Todd

The ‘you are amazing’?Because that’s the focus! Todd, they are absolutelycorrect. Anon, I would like to personally like to thank you for thatexplanation; it’s quite hard to phrase everything properly sometimes. ~ Dirk

You should give it a go, Dirk! Todd likes listening to you.~ Mona

That’s definitely a fact. ~ Amanda

Well, I mean, I could try,but anon said it amazingly. Plus,there are no takebacks – Todd has to accept it. ~ Dirk

Still, it might help. You should go for it, Dirk. ~ Farah

Okay, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to say that Todd is brave. I don’t think he understands whatbrave means, though. He’s so…so strong,emotionally; he’s been through so many difficult things, and he’s still standing! It’s just reallyincredible, and I try to tell him, but he doesn’t really get it and that can,well…annoy me. He doesn’t annoy me, but his self-degoratory attitude upsets mebecause he’s so fantastic and hedoesn’t always see it. Which is why I want to make him happy, obviously. ~ Dirk

Dirk, that’s…thank you. You know how to make me feel betterabout myself. ~ Todd

Anonymous, you really helped Todd. And Dirk. That’s reallynice of you! ~ Mona

[askbrotzly]

Dirk, what do you think you'll do if Todd leaves you? I'm not saying he WILL, I'm just saying - do you have a plan for how you'll cope with it IF he does? Having a plan goes a long way towards soothing my anxiety I find, but of course, everyone is different.

My plans never really go, you know, according to plan. I just…dothings and the Universe kind of points me in the right direction. Mostly. Butif Todd were to ever leave, I would definitelygo against the Universe to get him back. I think the Universe likes us together,though. He’s the perfect assisfriend –it wouldn’t be right to separate from him. ~ Dirk

All of us would form a fricking awesome search party if he dared leave us. And this includes theRowdy Three. ~ Amanda

And may I just say that Beast is scarily good at finding people. ~ Dirk

Guys, I’m not going to leave Dirk. Or any of you. ~ Todd

We know, Todd. We know. ~ Farah

[askbrotzly]

Dirk, I wish you were here

Farah, are we allowed to take road trips? ~ Dirk

Why? ~ Farah

Because I want to meet anon. ~ Dirk

Dirk, you can’t just meetanon. ~ Todd

But anon actually wants to see me! ~ Dirk

We don’t have the budget. But you could get Amanda to dothat link thingy you told me about. ~ Farah

I don’t think that’s how it works. ~ Amanda

Well, anon, if the Universe wants us to meet, I’m sure itwill happen. Someday. ~ Dirk

You do know that you have no idea where anon is. They couldbe on the moon, for all you know. ~ Todd

I’ve always wanted to go to the moon. Well, not specificallythe moon, just…the galaxy. ~ Dirk

Dirk, you can’t just hike about the galaxy. It’s notpossible. ~ Todd

We’ve literallyjust finished a case in another dimension,Todd. I think we can keep our minds open. ~ Dirk

[askbrotzly]

Dirk, I'm so lonely and I want a friend so bad. I text people too often and I'm too clingy and I don't know how not to be...I'm sorry..

Anon, Dirk calls me at least twenty-four times a day. And,he also texts me twice as much. Considering that I still think of him as mybest friend, it’s not an awful thing as such; you don’t need to apologise. ~Todd

See, anon, I’m lucky. I have Todd, who is the most wonderfulassisfriend anyone could ask for. He knows that I tend to…over text, but he’sstuck around, for which I am eternally grateful for. ~ Dirk

Dirk frequently texts all of us, although he obviously textsTodd the most. I can’t always reply to Dirk, but he’s aware of that, and I don’tthink he stresses over it too much. I know that this is just us, but we cancommunicate with each other enough not to feel neglected or clingy. Too behonest, I don’t think anyone really is clingy. I think some people are just moreemotionally expressive. ~ Farah

I’m not like, really smart or anything, but Hobbs and I havea pretty close bond, so we know how the other’s feeling. Dude, sometimes, I’lltext him, and if he hasn’t replied in like, half an hour, I’ll text him again.Somehow, you end up with like, ten random texts. But then other times, I’llcompletely forget that I need to text Hobbs. It depends on your mood. ~ Tina

And anon, I always feel like I have to let my friends knowwhat I’m feeling. If I’m alone, I’ll text Todd so that I don’t feel thatlonely, and it’s okay for us. If he thinks I’m over texting way too much, he’llremind me. Plus, I just love talking in general, so you could always talk tome. ~ Dirk

We like making friends – we’ll be your friends if you wantto. Dirk’s really nice, you know. ~ Mona
