THANK YOU for saying something about the cannibalism, dude.....that's always the only way fandom can seem to make dirkjake "deep" is through cannibalism imagery and symbolism when there's nothing in the source material even grazing that. They just didn't work out for super normal uninteresting reasons, you don't need to reinvent Will Graham

Cannibalism and other such Horror Themes are things that can work very well in proper context.

Key Words: In proper context.

Their relationship didn't work out for extremely vanilla reasons. They had a relationship that was messy in incredibly normal reasons and promptly ended for incredibly normal reasons. They're literally just, like, two 16 year olds who are ass at communicating and one of them just isn't nearly as into the relationship as the other one is. It's a cringe-worthy situation, but, again, in the most normal way possible. Average teenage fumbling.

There just aren't any themes of Consumption to help back up the Cannibalism thing. You kind of... Need... Themes of consumption... To justify Cannibalism within a written work. That is where it comes from. It's consumption at its most extreme. I don't really know where this is all coming from. It's a bit weird to me. Horror is my absolute jam, I'm a Horror Artist/Writer after all, but... There's just no real basis for all this.

A lot of DirkJake fans seem to be Re-Animator fans who haven't realized it yet, to be frank.

About that poll you did: why don’t you find dirkjake compelling? You’re my go-to HS analyzer on this site so I’m curious about your perspective

Well. They literally never do anything on screen other than break up and angst about how the relationship isn’t working out because they’re 16 years old and literally fucking suck at communicating. Why should I be compelled by a relationship when 99% of its existence is dedicated to the fact that it sucks for totally normal 16 year old reasons and also that it’s over? I’m 23, and literally have infinitely better romances to focus on.

All the Alpha Kids just totally suck ass at talking to each other. This is because they’re 16 and sheltered, sure, but there comes a point where it gets kinda grating and hard to watch… Because the “Sheltered 16 Year Old” aspect is written so well. The way all these kids are just absolutely falling over each other trying to date Jake, who is deeply, deeply not into it is kinda just uncomfortable to read, and since Jake’s arc gets cut off short before its resolution… There’s just no concrete payoff, really. Poor dude is still getting treated like that to this day.

I understand it was revolutionary for some people, seeing as how it was the first time they’d seen a “Love Triangle” (no it wasn’t) where a guy was getting pursued by another guy and also a girl… And not only that, but the other guy won…

… But also there’s, like, way better queer media out there. I’ve seen horror movies with more compelling gay themes/romances in them. Plenty of them. It’s actually pretty common. I’m well fed. And also he is literally related to the girl in question here, so dating the guy is literally the only correct choice if he had to pick one with a gun to his head.

The best choice for Jake in reality would have been none of them.

TL;DR: I am a grown man and they literally never do anything that warrants the label of “compelling”.

cutiepies!!!

a quick 2-pager! this is my first time lining panels in full, so i tried to mimic how dave gibbons does his lining as an extra challenge. i think it came out pretty neat.
