Update on a canon call; Dirk Strider
So this is a new memory that I literally just got, though it’s not even a full one which sucks.
I’m gonna just be writin everythin out and adding whatever shit comes to me since that’s usually how I get more detailed memories...
But hey, at least I can remember a new person!
Pretty sure I was friends with a human Sawtooth, not sure how long the maybe-friendship lasted but I know that sht was positive emotion stuff.
I’m not sure what his real name was, but I’m pretty sure he was called Sawtooth in some context? Street name maybe. We’ll get to that in a bit though.
I probably got at least few of my hoodies from him. Actually I’m positive I either stole some of them or he’s the reason I liked them so much. Maybe I had a crush. Not entirely sure yet.
The memory was triggered by some fanart, not gonna link it all because that shit gets messy with the whole giving credit stuff. And it was a few different pictures so I guess he might have been a combination of those? Or maybe I’m getting some of Hal’s memories. Not sure. I’ll add Hal’s tags just in case.
Anyway, down to the details I guess.
In the ones that triggered MY memory (still Dirk here) he had a red hat, baseball cap or SnapBack style. Black shades, not like mine or bro’s; more rectangular. Black hair, sideburns. I legit had to fuckin google beard types to know what it was called but he’s got a “petite goatee”, which lines up with the fact that ‘goatee’ popped in my head first even though it’s not a classic one? Right okay back on track. He smoked (cigarettes For sure, dunno what else) and he had the... douchebag-y vibes/first impression thing going. If you’re reading this then sorry man, I’m doing my best here. Anyway. Black hoodie, usually pulled over the top of the hat. It’s like he was TRYING to get stopped by the cops. Maybe was, street cred goes a long way. And I’m pretty sure he did some underground shady shit so that lines up. Maybe that’s how I met him, he could’ve been Kurloz’s dealer. Yeah that feels right.... but I know he was more than that for me. Like, we hung out and shit. Yeah I might’ve liked him in a more than friendly way. Quiet sorta nerdy kid with a stutter and probably at least a lil privileged life meets mr. tall pale and dangerous(ly hot. Oh my god I hate myself why did I type that-) with a touch of definitely not privileged. He might’ve had tattoos or wanted them. Maybe a sleeve? Partial sleeve? I dunno.
Wow I’m nervous about this, okay. Not even sure why. Well I mean I know it’s because I probably won’t find him. Or anyone else. But god I hope I do. I can metaphorically feel my palms sweating and wow this was long and rambly but oh well. Typing means no stuttering but more words. Good to know.
Oh hey that triggered another one. I’ll do a separate post for that.
Anyway.... if this sounds familiar to you, EVEN IF YOU’RE NOT MENTIONED HERE (or even from a different timeline or if some of this doesn’t line up) I cannot possibly stress enough that I want to talk to you. Send a message. If it sounds familiar because a friend has talked about this please please please either send me a link to contact them or show this to them.
And I’m throwing in tags for other people I remember who I either know I was close to (or sorta close, strong feelings/memories, etc) or to people who might also have known this Sawtooth just in case.
