i've been so psyched to share this. the AMAZING @azreto captured the very essence of brodennis in this incredible commission, i could not be more happy!! 😍😍😍😍😍

happy birthday dennis, may your gains always be redonkulous and your keg never empty 😘

#look at them!!!! #it's just perfect masculinity #i was talking about the perfection of brodennis with emi last night and the thing is like #there are other fratbro pairings and they also make toxic masculinity hot (and good for them!!) #this particular pairing makes toxic masculinity romantic #reader they're soulmates! #brodennis #bro #dennis #dennis from gamebro

[allbrodennis]

happy birthday Dennis!!!! and happy belated birthday to @laurasauras too!!! i know i've already done art from this scene but it just stuck in my head so much i had to do another sketch from it...

for the uninitiated, this is from Laura's fic No Homo, which is about Bro Strider and Dennis from Gamebro magazine and they are one of the sweetest and most fun pairings i've ever had the joy of rotating around in my brain!!

dennis's bday (Jan 30) was canonized (fanonized?) in Laura's most recent fic about him, Someone Ordinary.

Idk about other people but I’m always a slut for that old man and I think you got amazing taste so pls rec anything you like anywhere

I think you will find that my taste is actually kind of garbage but like, in a fun way that makes you go "wow really???" rather than being so embarrassed for me that you can never look at me again. of course that would be fine too haha you know, don't yuck my yum etc but I will try to put together my unfuckable old man rec list right here, right now, and we can all just live with that

(mostly because titling a post makes me cringe it's too much attention, and I'm a stereotype)

These come from a section of my actual Fic Rec List, which is massive (by my standards), lives in a googly doc, and is much more embarrassing. this list generally won't include any ship stuff and if it does, i will say so. mind any and all tags.

This section is titled: The Redemption Narrative (lol)

1. Empty Nester - egomaniac (THE WHOLE REASON I MADE A NEW LIST. BRO AND NANNA!!!!!!!!!!!! also bro/grandpa, aka “he fucks that old man”, but not the most important part to me, because as good and tragic and hurtful as their relationship is in this fic, it is dwarfed, to me, by the kindness shared between Nanna and Bro, which once again, to me, is the Crown Jewel of the whole story. PLEASE read this please if u have time A++ endorsement)

2. dualshock desertbloom (the whole fucking series. i hardly need to say why, you should just know by now. i call dd dirkfic, because it is The Dirkfic, u know??)- geometrician (🔶)

3. sun’s angle - dellaluce (they can orphan it all they want but i never forget. very old, but never GETS old, u feel)

4. Hexadyne Meetings - Saesama (the rarity of bro and nanna fics could absolutely destroy me but i really like the interactions between all of the guardians in this one)

5. Flop, Flutter - cthchewy (technicality, big nasty soulless bro yikes sorry)

6. The Estrangement Thing - NoBrandHero (there’s a theme here listen to me don’t be doubtful it’s worth the trouble, there is brojohn in there, which is not my thing at all, but it is NOT relevant to what i like about this fic, and i think if u read it, u will realize that immediately lol (*i am not including second best even though that fic is literally my favorite ds fic ever because it is NOT bro centric))

7. cold front off the pacific - drow_sy (i actually read this bc geometrician bookmarked it lol but it punches down on u and i like that)

8. insect clockwork - SORD (aka, if it was written pre-2013, i’ve read it)

9. Flashing Lights and Raisins - RadioMoth (the strider manpain tag exists for a reason)

10. Hide - Plajus (OG post-sburb type shit. we love to see it)

11. Blackout - lantadyme (bro strider sick fic. Wrow. old shit. I don’t even know how i have held onto these for this many years.)

Things that don't quite fit into the category necessarily but It's MY List Not Yours:

12. signs at sundown - geometrician (I don't need to say it, do I? I think we understand, I do think that. Imagine being canon together with you favorite author. Imagine it. Wow.)

13. No Homo - Laurasauras (bro/dennis. yes, dennis from gamebro. yes, it's good i've said it before i'll say it again. i'm into it, i think you should be too.)

14. flash - problemsloth (this shit is just. absolute chef's kiss to me. i don't know how else to explain it. young bro. he's perfect, and perfectly dreadful)

15. play ball! - spacepuck (this is a johndave fic but it has this very stressful atmosphere around bro and dave that kinda fucks me up and also, delights me beyond reason. it tastes like summer to me. sandlot lookin ass. an old favorite)

#this list is. shorter than it could be and longer than i meant it to be #this is by no means a Full List there's lots of other stuff out there #rabid raccoon rehab is for everyone obviously #and i am not a person who reads a ton of ship fic so if there are good fics that also have ships in them i probably just haven't read them #lol sorry about that #sloth has a brodad that's on my to-read which i think will probably be added to the actual doc but at this time i have not read it #i want to say i take recs but the truth is they will probably end up in the shameful pile of Marked For Later that grows taller and taller #every day that passes by #well anyway i just wanted to talk about empty nester like an insane person so #i want to say u can just like. plug in all the things i have excluded on ao3 for bro's tag and then sort by kudos and these will pop up #but the truth is that i have also been dragging some of these around with me for literal years and there is a Reason they are top kudos'd #to me #anyway yeah okay sure whatever sorry this is just. hells of embarrassing it's all homestuck it's all bro related sorry #for non bro centric fics consider begging on ur knees or it will never see the light of day #actually i think you'd have to pay me or weasel your way into my server. it's not happening is what i'm saying #ANYWAY OKAY FINALLY IT IS DONE

[hspolls]

hi i was wondering if you would consider adding dennis from gamebro into your polls?? he is my fave <3

Hmm... Well, I don't know how I'd go about modifying the polls at this point, since I'd have to rework every single bracket and recalculate everything. I'm not sure it's even possible? (Math nerds please tell me I'm wrong).

However... I wasn't going to say this, but there was a special case in which I would add in a special round. Try to add in an extra matchup or add a character to an existing one, depending on whats most, well, possible. I already had a list of "bonus" characters for this case, but since you asked so nicely I'll bring him to the top of the list. Can't guarantee the "special case" will ever happen, but you know who to expect if it does... ;]

[29pageshomestuckeveryday]

Homestuck, pages 47-56

Page 47

John: Leave room.

You exit into the HALLWAY.

On one wall hangs a picture of a fella who sure knows how to have a laugh, a man after your own heart. You always thought he looked a lot like Michael Cera. But your DAD swears on the many HALLOWED TOMBS of Egypt that it is not. You're not sure about that though.

On the other wall is one of your DAD'S stupid clowns. Or HARLEQUINS, as he is quick to correct anyone who would venture such brazen assumption.

Author commentary: The "Michael Cera" photo is really just one of the first images that appears in a Google image search for beagle puss. It really looks like Cera. Alas, it is not. The implication that John and his dad have had debates about this is indisputably enjoyable.

Page 48

John: Go downstairs.

The accursed odor of fresh baking wafts into your newfound nostrils. Something is brewing in the KITCHEN. It must be the connivings of your arch nemesis, BETTY CROCKER, and the rich, buttery aroma of her plot stinks to high heaven.

This mission is going to be more difficult than you imagined.

Page 49

John: Admire harlequins.

You check out the shelves of FANCIFUL HARLEQUINS.

Look at this fucking garbage. You hate this stuff. Funny is funny, but your DAD sure can be a real cornball.

Sometimes at night you pray for burglars.

Page 50

John: Examine fireplace.

A bright orange flame flickers in the FIREPLACE. It doesn't matter that it's April and not terribly chilly outside. In a home, a FIREPLACE needs a fire, because that's what FIREPLACE is for. A fire BELONGS in a FIREPLACE, dammit, cata(ptcha)gorically, at all times, without exception. As domestic myth of unaccountable origin holds, a home borrows the spirit of the flame for as long as it makes a guest of it, much as the moon takes liberty with the sun's rays. "The moon's an arrant thief, and her pale fire she snatches from the sun." -Mark Twain You are almost certain Mark Twain said that.

Author commentary: "The moon's an arrant thief" is actually a Shakespeare quote, not a Twain quote. This is the first instance of the misattributed quote running gag. There isn't one quote in HS which is attributed correctly.

Page 51

John: Toss GameBro into fire.

It doesn't burn as quickly as you hoped.

Each GAMEBRO MAGAZINE is guaranteed to be printed on 40% recycled asbestos. For big ups to Mother Earth, yo.

Author commentary: DENNIS WILL HAVE HIS REVENGE.

Page 52

John: Fondly regard cremation.

You examine the SACRED URN containing your departed NANNA'S ASHES. When your father gives her portrait a wistful glance now and then, you can tell it brings back painful memories. A tall bookshelf. A ladder. An unabridged COLONEL SASSACRE'S. He never wants to talk about it.

Page 53

John: Topple urn.

You clumsily mishandle the SACRED URN. Ash is everywhere.

In retrospect, upon mulling cinematic tropes regarding ash-filled urns, this outcome was a virtual certainty.

You'd probably better clean it up before DAD finds it.

Author commentary: If you see an urn full of ash anywhere in a work of entertainment, you can guarantee the ash will come out eventually. The only factor left negotiable is what degree of slapstick is involved. That was like a brief tvtropes.com article, but without the 5,000 links to obscure anime underneath.

Page 54

John: Combine father's pipe with clever disguise.

You think now would be a good time to beef up your CLEVER DISGUISE.

Page 55

John: Examine oversized gift.

Contemplating what could be inside this package is sort of exciting, but it makes you a little nervous at the same time.

Author commentary: MSPA prior to HS grew on a tradition of mute characters. But I experimented with ways of giving certain characters voices in HS. Obviously the kids were voiced through their pesterlogs, and only through pesterlogs. Later, sometimes spritelogs were an exception to this rule. Dad, as a rule, would only communicate through notes left behind to his son. The rules for dialog were adhered to pretty religiously, and sometimes expanded upon with new rules.

Page 56

John: Open large present.

Oh hell no.

i was looking for something different but please have the best art i've ever created

[excuse my terrible handwriting, transcript:

DAVE: theyre not fucking dating

DIRK: They are.

DAVE: are not

DIRK: I'll prove it.

DIRK: Dennis. What do bees make?

DENNIS: flowers?

DIRK: No.

DENNIS: uh

DIRK: It's sweet. You put it on toast.

DENNIS: Oh! Honey?

BRO: Hm?

DENNIS: oh, not you, pookie.

DAVE: its ironic

DIRK: Obviously.

DAVE: he doesnt call him that

DIRK: They're messing with us. He's always 10 steps ahead.]

#happy dennis day!!!! #dennis from gamebro #brodennis #bro #dennis

[allbrodennis]

not dvkt, but currently obsessed w/ Brodennis!! any fic recommendations???

YESSS AHDHHA this ask made me so happy to receive omg

ok so the deal with brodennis is that there are 4 fics of it on AO3 so far, all are written by @laurasauras and all of them are freaking FANTASTIC.

if you haven't read her stuff in general, oh boy you are missing out!!!! she is one of the most talented fic writers in our fandom and YES she's one of my besties but i totally was a fan before i ever got to know her ok!

she is the queen of rarepair fics and she has this superpower where she can write any ship and NOT ONLY sell me on the merits of it, but ALSO make me wish i could read a million more fics of that ship. it's honestly infuriating and i love her to death.

here's a link to all her brodennis stuff bc it fucking slaps and also i sooooo badly need more brodennis content in the world! i cannot shill this ship enough. i need it like air.

if you want more specific info about fics...

No Homo

Summary: "Bro is just a dude who didn't plan on having kids, but is dealing with it pretty okay. Dennis falls into his life and doesn't leave. They're bros for life. Bro has no idea how it could be considered anything more."

THIS GODDAMN FIC makes me completely fucking feral and it owns my soul. i have this obsession with like frat boy dude bro ships where they jerk each other off and justify it as "not gay" somehow and this fic hits every single thing i love about that trope.

Road Trip

This is a DirkJohn-centric fic that features the first appearance of BroDennis in the Laurasauras canon!!! They're very much a background feature here but at the same time they totally steal the show in the BEST way.

The Evil You Know and The Evil You Let Go Of are an excellent and HILARIOUS superhero/villain AU.

from laura's author note: "so this started as a dramatic estranged brothers thing and then idk dennis happened and suddenly it was adorable. you are extremely welcome!"

dennis exhibits a delightful amount of himbo behavior in this series, and honestly so does bro. they are both so stupid and also so smart and talented and in love with each other 😭 also D is there HAHA sorry dave i love you too <3

i hope you enjoy the fics and i extra ESPECIALLY hope that more people catch on to the magic of brodennis and give me even more food to eat 🥰
