so, what do dave and dirk think of cal? (kinstuck)

Dave’s a little annoyed and occasionally unnerved by him, but he doesn’t let it show and acts like a good brother when he can. Cal mostly hangs around Bro or Dirk though. Dirk gets along great with Cal (even though they’re double-cousins and not actually brothers, he most acts like his big brother out of all the other kids), and Cal often hangs around his room asking questions while Dirk’s making robots or sketching.

Do Bro and Dave have the same bond in Kinstuck Canon as with regular canon?

Sort of, but because Dave had other parents and siblings to balance out how he was raised, Bro’s intensity and eccentricity didn't effect in the same way, he was just always like a weird uncle/older brother figure, but Dave never hero worshiped him. Bro still taught him how to swordfight (along with Dirk and Davis) but in a safer more realistic way, (no baby-throwing, etc.)

I've yet to hear you talk humans that much in kinstuck are they there? And if so I would like to hear about how dirk fits in

I've talked about them a bit...I'll talk about them more but for now I'll just talk about dirk since it's late I gotta go to bed lol.

Dirk's a Strider-Lalonde brother and the oldest one of the kids at around 21. I'll post The Stri-Londe family tree sometime soon since it's hard to explain. But anyway...

He's a Robotics and Engineering student working on his Second PHD (he was a genius who started Uni at 14). He still lives at home because he just thinks it's more logical to save money and focus on school, though he's won plenty of awards and already has job offers lines up at various companies.

He's gay and he dated Jake in their teens but it didn't end well and he's currently single. He has a few friends (specifically the other Alpha Kids and some of his siblings and neighbors), but he likes to be alone a lot of the time too and enjoys swimming, horse riding, drawing, philosophy, psychology, anime, rap and electronic music. He rarely sleeps and likes to keep busy at all times, living off orange soda and pure, elevated irony .

If you draw the kids for your Kinstuck thing, will you have Dirk and Roxy as Dave and Roses' parents?

The Strider-Lalondes are one huge big super complicated family that nobody even knows what’s up with them and who is related to who and how (though I can explain it if you like). :) (But no, Dirk, Roxy, Rose and Dave are all siblings… sort of)
