Who would be a better cuddle buddy out of all the Striders?
Bro definitely has the most surface area, being a tall twunk. However his cuddle-sense is zero-to-none, so you’re unlikely to be cuddled back if you do. Maybe you’ll get a pat on the back in return.
Alpha Dave is the second in the biggest amount of cuddle area, and he is certainly more approachable than Bro. This guy’s a busy dude though, so he might have to deny cuddletime quite often to do important business shit, like making dumb movies and fighting alien tyrants.
Dirk has the optimal amount of twunk-twink hybridization to be perfect for those that want to completely wrap their arms around a waist. He is completely inept at responding to cuddles though, and will most likely just freeze in place if you attempt it.
Hal has a bit less ineptitude than Dirk in this regard, but he’s still prone to bluescreening if the cuddles come as a surprise. Also it’s not advised to hug him from the front as he will absolutely be a little piece of shit and tickle you till you release him.
Brobot is the most equipped to handle cuddletime out of the dirk splinters and would absolutely appreciate it. The issues come when he reciprocates, because you’re very likely to get heavily damaged with the amount of force he applies to hugs. Wear protective armor if you wish to attempt it.
ARquiusprite is very much like Hal, except there’s more muscle to cuddle against, and you’re very likely to end up drenched in sweat even from a very short and mild cuddle session. Crushing damage also likely, though not as severe as from an encounter with Brobot.
Dave would take a while to warm up to the idea, and would probably keep evading your attempts. However, once he accepts it, he’s likely to stay at your side for a while. More comfortable cuddling you first than letting you approach him.
Davesprite is very similar to Dave, however he has the advantage of fluff. He’s also easier to scare away, and very picky about where you can touch him. However he can and will swoop you up for a quick cuddle at any time without warning.
Davepeta is definitely the cuddliest of the bunch. While certainly the smallest in terms of cuddle surface area alone, they are the most willing, and you will never get rid of them once they’re attached. Go around a corner and they jumpscare you with a glomp. Just a lot more affectionate than your standard Strider.
