the visceral incredible warmth this just made me experience. father dghda himself approves of my silly little virtual shrine. what a sweet moment.
dirk: if I was ill, could I do this?

todd: ...what are you doing?
dirk: cartwheels. am I not doing them?
todd: no

DIRK IS A REGULAR GUY. HE CAN DO A HOLISTIC.

todd: uh, so, i sort of did something and i need advice but i don’t want a lot of judgement and criticism
amanda: and you came to me?

3 years later…
or maybe the glorious interconnectedness of our lips 😏
dirk gives compliments freely, once described todd as “perfect”, is generally excitable and british, so i feel like he’d have a long list of pet names to call todd (love, darling etc).
todd on the other hand is awkward and emotionally shut off, so i feel like pet names wouldn’t come naturally to him. at the same time he does call amanda "sis" (which i'm pretty sure no sibling in real life actually does), so nicknames/other ways to address someone he cares about isn't completely unheard of.
so my question is: if we decide that todd would in fact occasionally call dirk a pet name (or even just something other than "dirk"), what would it be?
i'm imagining dirk's excessive pet names and endearments prompt him to use one random one himself and once he sees dirk's starry eyed reaction, he knows he has to learn to add that to his regular vocabulary.
but which pet-/nickname could come out of his mouth without feeling too awkward and ooc? would "babe" be the most common, go-to guy endearment? anything very flowery or symbolic doesn't feel like todd (like "honey" and “sweetheart” are cute af but i can't imagine him saying those unironically). or would it be something descriptive of dirk? (sunshine?) or a nickname rather than a pet name? (what’s a nickname for dirk?)
thoughts?
I like what you said in the tags about Todd just calling Dirk “man”, affectionately, and maybe with a tone that implies he means it as “my man”. Not exactly the cutest thing to call your partner, but I agree with the other people in the reblogs that Todd is just not the kind of guy to use cute nicknames
right! being earnest kind of feels uncomfortable for him but he’d totally let genuine fondness bleed into something like “man” or “dude.” i can also see him fondly saying “that’s my guy” when dirk does something silly.
