forbidden dipshit lore
Sep. 16th, 2024 11:45 amI’m not sure how obvious it is so I was gonna give exposition for dipshit time yayy his name isn’t actually dipshit. he SHOULD have a cannonical name in theory but from a mixture of him being trans and having identity issues the concept of having any name just sort of made him dysphoric as a whole so I never made one. every character has their own nickname for him instead C: DBK calls him Stray because he will not get out of his goddamn house. Mei calls him Killjoy because they’re both emo pun and also because she would call his attitude out. etc etc
And by this logic, his character name SHOULD probably be whatever Red calls him; but I like to think that even though Red is usually really insistent on singular nicknames, whether due to his stand-offness or bc he probably never cared to learn the names of others and then got stuck in that distance for too long, dipshit being there pre-red son redemption arc means there’s a LOT of varying degrees of a) how familiar they are with each other and b) red son slowly calming down as a person over time. So there's a lot!!! of nicknames !!! that red goes through for him depending on those two factors. just depending on how close they are in the timeline, really.
which is to say, Dipshit is actively just his name from an author perspective. Because "that bastard" was too long, funnily enough. Though characters probably sneak it in bc he can kind of be one sometimes... yay !!!
