okay, my personal headcanon for dima using he/him pronouns is that he wants to match nick. if nick changed pronouns, dima would too. they're twins, they've gotta match.

Real talk about DiMA tho
(Some spoilers about Nick Valentine and Far Harbor ahead)
I love DiMA, he gives me massive kid brother energy and just adds so much good stuff to Nick’s character but GOD do I feel bad for him. Not only did he help his brother escape the institute and have to leave him behind but he was thrown into a world where you kill to survive. No freaking wonder he killed Captain Avery and replaced her. He probably saw a bunch of people get kidnapped by synths and replaced some time after. We can’t forget that DiMA CREATED his personality through new memories and not premade like Nick. He probably thought that that was normal at the time or even a necessary action if he wanted to create peace.
I obviously don’t condone what he did, murder is not good and neither is replacing someone and lying. But DiMA had no good influence to teach him right from wrong as he “grew up” in the wasteland. Later he understands that what he did was horrible and if the sole survivor convinces him, DiMA turns himself in to be executed. I never chose to execute him because Nick would want to lose his brother. Sure if DiMA tells far harbor you receive a [Nick loved that] because he’s always been a guy who fights for the truth. DiMA thought that what he did was for the greater good, even if the repercussions where terrible, he just wanted to keep Acadia safe. And I feel that Nick might respect that to some regard aside from his brother killing and replacing someone. And don’t forget about the fact that even Nick himself wants to accept him as his brother even without the sole survivor’s guidance. He WANTS to get to know DiMA and think of him as family because there is truly no one else like him.

there's nothing about DiMA in the fallout art book, but i'd bet good money his appearance, and the way the mechanical synths look, owes more than a little to the 1999 movie virus

Sometimes a family is you, your 200-year-old mom, her sad robot boyfriend, your dead father, your other dead father who your mom says was really your brother
Your uncle/fourth dad, your cousin/brother, his dead mom
A noir detective, his secretary, his weird brother from Maine, and your evil cyborg fifth dad who haunts his brain
The Irish pit fighter who doesn’t like you but follows your mom around like a puppy
A French medical researcher who’s also a robot
A militiaman with clinical depression
Your weird uncle you think might be a shapeshifter
A reporter and her 12-year-old sister
A cool drug-abusing mayor with no skin and a bodyguard who might be his daughter
The sad robot boyfriend’s one (1) friend, also sad
Your mom’s estranged grandson the Terminator
A handful of neighbors including a mechanic, a couple with lots of emotions, a former fortune teller, and the guy whose personality is “salesman for a company that no longer exists”
Your seventh parent the butler (actually a robot this time)
The dog who’s a part-time detective, the cat your mom stole off a giant airship, and the giant cannibalistic ogre who functions more like a pet than the other two.
And that’s okay.

I will never forget when Fallout 4 Far Harbor was released and people were calling DiMA "Dick Halloween" as if he were Nick Valentine's evil alter ego. It makes me laugh to this day.

AND THEN NO ONE EVER MENTIONED IT AGAIN?????

It's Valentine's day! You there, browsing the tag. Have you ever thought 'I like Nick Valentine, but I wish he starred in two novels lovingly written in the prose style of a detective noir from 1943, and so help me God, I don't want to pay a cent for it?' No! Nobody has! What an unusually specific dream!
But it's too late, I've already written them.
More than that, I've filled them with art, too.
If this sounds like something you'd like, you can find the full series (the two books and two small side stories) here.
