been thinking abt how you said we need a better ship phrase for dirktuna other than glasses boys and now i’m dedicated to figuring one out. the only thing i have is board boys, but that is solely based on the fact that they both have boards and dirk’s isn’t even a skateboard like mituna’s is.
[context: yesterday i reblogged a post saying mituna and dirk are matesprits, where op suggested calling it glass boys. i tagged it as "op 'glasses boys' applies to a solid 1/4 of the ships in homestuck"].
in hindsight i think they might've meant "glass" in that dirk has splinters and mituna is "broken"/"fragile"? which isn't great ofc but it's better than "glasses boys".
"boardboys' is good, and i honestly think it's nice that that refers to two different types of boards. both of them have shades that are different from other characters' — dirk's are computerized, and mituna has a whole helmet. maybe we lean into that?
or maybe something to do with the orange/gold color scheme, or orange/red/blue? but i can't thihk of very many things with that color combination.
tbh i'm cool with just calling it 'dirktuna' but now you've got me wanting to find a catchier name lol
