dave who learned imitation as a survival method....... dave getting into turntables and music mixing bc thats the one thing he can do with his bro without getting stressed out, getting into swords and ‘cool guy’ things bc when he acts like his bro and impresses him he gets hurt less, learning to act dry and emotionally disconnected from john bc john is well liked among his friends (and he likes john, too), learning to psychoanalyze by imitating rose because rose will back off if he manages to pick at one of HER sore spots for once....... dave realizing he doesnt want to be that person anymore on the meteor but not having any other method of becoming well-liked. dave imitating romcom protagonists to get karkat’s attention, becoming more and more grumpy and animated and dramatic bc of all the time he’s spent around karkat, dave’s dry humor getting more and more developed as he spends more time with rose and kanaya. dave who has a crisis (at least in another timeline) because at age sixteen he’s standing in his childhood bedroom and surrounded by interests he hasn’t pursued in years and sobbing because he doesn’t know who he is without trying to make someone like him. he doesn’t know which interests, if any, were ones he would have had if he’d grown up with a guardian that didn’t hate him, if the world hadn’t ended and if he wasn’t one of the sole survivors dedicating his childhood to creating a new universe, if he’d just been a normal kid. 

dave, age sixteen, who has no idea who he is or what he wants from life.

@davekatweek Day 3: Quadrants

This is the scene that made me (and a lot of people) crack ship them. The spice between them was mwah, back then it was all about the blackrom vibes between these two.

Leave it to them to say fuck that, none/all of the above please, and have one of the healthiest relationships in the story 😂💕

#sorry i know this is a scene redraw instead of exploring quads but man i just wanted to draw this stupid convo #karkat needed daves attention and new exactly how to get it #and still does :) #homestuck #davekat #dave strider #karkat vantas #hsfanart #my art #davekatweek #davekatweek2023

[green-tea-lemonade]

hii can you please draw applebees/davesol/soldave/honeycrisp... they are my lifefurce....

Heeeeey anon

Sorry that this legit took so long to get to but this one and another actually stumped me a bit! But lets go ahead and talk some Honeycrisp!

It's funny but as I'm starting to go through ships, I actually find that Sollux is surprisingly moldable to ship with in most quadrants with any character with just a few characters that I think it's pretty obvi he'd be one way or another with them. Dave is one that I can actually see these two being an all-around deal. I think it's actually extremely easy to see either of them together in a red, pale, or pitch manner. Personal opinion though, I think I could see them shift from pitch to pale. However, I do understand the idea of them in red! Trying to go down a little bit of the more romantic route, Dave can somehow get Sollux to be pretty talkative when working if he says the right things. Both of them are pretty tall so there is a pretty frequent amount of them coming up behind the other and attempting to use them like an armrest just for the hell of it. Sollux's constant amount of electronic-like noises from his powers is actually fuel and used snippets in some of Dave's music. I see them being somewhat private about affections towards one another mostly because they don't feel like its anybodys business to glimpse into those parts from the outside of their lives. They're really casual about it though.

#art #digital art #homestuck #davesol #soldave #dave strider #sollux captor #i also got a davekatsol one i gotta do which is kind of giving me a struggle mentally as to how i would see the three of them being #im trying to dig into researching ships i dont really have opinions on or arent familiar with so I CAN form an opinion about them #kind of see what others see and how i can understand it #i did see a lot of mention though actually about how sollux and dave dont ever really interact much??? if at all??? which is shocking #i kind of dug around and yeah i didn't really find anything so i had to go off thoughts and a few fics #i think they should though because having a one-on-one convo with one another i would see being really funny #but yeah sorry this took forever anon and other anon i swear ill get to the davekatsol once i figure it out #davesol personally i see being just really annoying to one another before mellowing out and being decently chill to one another #maybe seeing them in a pale quadrant is a slight stretch but i can see it enough that i can agree with it

in a parallel universe where i believe in davekat

You watch in sheer, abject horror as Dave reaches up to cup Karkat’s cheek, eyes obscured by those damned sunglasses of his. He leans in to plant an oh-so-tender kiss upon the other’s waiting lips. 

You cannot even begin to comprehend what you are seeing. In fiction, you might describe this as cosmic horror - when one witnesses something so vast and unknowable beyond all comprehension, they lose their sense of reality. Nothing makes sense after that.

You’d just assumed that he was straight, had incorporated it into your worldview. The sky is blue, the sun will rise, Dave is straight. But here you are, having just walked into the room, witnessing the collapse of reality as you know it. You stand stock still, frozen in the doorway. The actors in this strange play have not noticed you there, watching like a creep. In fact, they have deepened their kiss, to the point where you wonder if they’re ever going to come up for air. Finally, you get your own mouth to work.

JOHN: dave.

JOHN: you is does gay?

honestly i dont think dave was ever that into terezi

i do think they dated tho. but like..... okay. before and during the game i think he was actually into jade (all the sick beats, the way hes sooo much more gentle w her than w john and rose, the way they flirt throughout the first half of the comic, DAVESPRITE). and i think lots of people--karkat, john, maybe even terezi herself--saw him talking to terezi so much and assumed he was into her because of it. but thats the thing: we dont really see that from him. when the topic comes up he either avoids the conversation or denies liking her completely. he IS aware that she likes him; admittedly, she's kind of using him as a rebound/distraction from karkat and vriska. i think he realizes that too, certainly towards the end of the game.

i dont think he's like..... under any delusions that he's the guy for her or that shes the girl from him, at any point, even when they date on the preretcon meteor. and i dont think she is either tbh (though if one of the two might convince themself of that, id see it from her more than from him). what he DOES get out of that relationship tho is just.... low expectations. same as what she gets from him; for her, there's no baggage, and he's waayyy less intense than karkat and vriska, which she likes. for him, its like.... john and rose and jade are all so NOSY. they ask him questions and expect answers from him and its getting harder and harder for him to pretend everythings okay. and later, on the meteor, karkat falls into that pattern for him too. but with TEREZI, sure, she'll ASK the hard hitting questions. her questions are more blunt than anyone elses. but she doesnt actually care about the answers; she gets him to think about it without putting any pressure on him to communicate, not really. i think every act four/five convo between dave and terezi, dave is constantly lying to her. and they both know it. but it's okay, because theyre THERE for the lowered expectations.

until, of course, the reality that terezi's kind of violent and crazy catches up with him, when she kills his alt self to explain god tiers. thats a little too much for him; he throws up a wall and spends the rest of the session hanging out with jade instead. and she runs off crying bc she feels bad for killing him, and also is upset that she fucked up, pushed him too far when she actually was really starting to like him. still, though, they make up on the meteor. they date, in a low pressure, casual kind of way--neither of them confirms to anyone else that they actually HAVE a thing, which kind of makes me think they never put a label on it. when dave's justifying leaving her when she starts her thing with gamzee, he's super defensive about it, acting like it doesnt bother him much ('why would it, he never really was dating her anyway'). and hes certainly not emotionally available after three years on the meteor, not the way he is post retcon when he spends that time with karkat instead. we also see preretcon terezi in a baaad bad place, feeling isolated and worthless and guilty; i think if she and dave had a more genuine relationship she might not have felt QUITE so insecure. not putting the onus on him alone of course; she had a lot going on.

i do think they get along. i think theyre good friends, actually. theyre just.... not that INTO each other, but they still feel bad knowing that about the other; it still sucks when they break up. i think they ended up ramping up each others insecurities on the meteor, even though they started from a place of just being safe and relaxed together. also, i think the fact that terezi was willing and able to kill her best friend scares the shit out of dave, even though he refuses to show it bc its 'unmanly' or whatever. idk. vibes

#it me #homestuck #dave strider #terezi pyrope #daverezi #meta #dont get me wrong the daverezi convos are my fave part of the comic #its just.... thats because theres sooo much subtext. so many things daves not saying #so much terezis pretending is a joke #so many times they accuse the other of something theyre actually struggling with themselves #its such a weird mix of hostile and completely chill and joking #love them.....

my fave power is whatever the fuck kanaya has going on

for day 1 of the @413countdown

#homestuck #413countdown #kanaya maryam #hsfanart #my art #dave strider #technically lol #i love that convo so much

[grinchwrapsupreme]

So none of you were gonna warn me about this bit huh?

#red dwarf #red dwarf the promised land #the promised land #arnold rimmer #dave lister #baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabe #like babe bro oh my god #you all talked so much about the actual moonlight speech and NONE of you told me about this follow up line #he's about to die again permanently!!! and he's like 'hold on let me reference that super emotional convo we had earlier instead of just #saying help me' #i love older rimmer because he doesn't get as panicky in situations like this #but when he gets sort of frozen and scared it's sooooooooo tasty in a narrative and character sense #he relies on lister so so much #just like lister relies on him #They are diametrically opposed!!! #moon and sun bitch!!!

[rosemary-is-in-pesterquest]

I don’t think it’s about the big words because Dirk uses big words too and he doesn’t get accused of being boring. I think it’s the sexism. How else can you explain people thinking Kanaya is boring and bland and prim and proper when she cut a guy in half with a chainsaw after coming back from the dead

Yeah, it's just another case of hs fandom having wildly different treatment of the boys vs girls :\

I feel like Kanaya's all capital quirk probably doesn't help either in making people think she's always monotone. Kanaya is also fucking hilarious as well, and that social awkwardness she has legit gets misinterpreted into her being a stick in the mud

#kanaya maryam #homestuck #people complain about rose n kanaya #but will gladly read a karkat or dave ramble that ends up being useless to the plot............ #like kk and dave get praised for their high word count but I'll see people moan abt having to read rosemary's convos like lmao wat #if rosemary's convos are too much for you how in the world are you reading hs #do you know wordy the narrative dialog is..........
