THIS IS BETTER THAN ANYTHING I COULD HAVE EVER HOPED FOR COMING OUT OF YESTERDAY'S UPD8 ALSO I think I ship it whoops
Literally the only reason I don't ship Davepeta and Jasprose is because I headcanon Rose as a lesbian. Like I don't even care about the incest thing, I just think Rose is super gay and presumably, if so, Jasprose would be too? Plus gay!Jasprose means even more opportunities for jokes about... Spoiler: sorry this is terrible huntin' for the pussy
davepeta is the happiest creature in all of paradox space :3 i must say i am just really glad to see silliness and adorably awkward word games, i needed that. for a bit there i thought 'vriska being cruel and dismissive to vulnerable people' time would never end. :P
I don't have sexuality headcanons for Homestuck, cause my pairings are pretty much everyone/everyone, in all quadrants, with like maybe 3-4 exceptions that I just can't stand.
To be honest, I'm still on the fence about Davepeta, and I'm not sure if I can really understand why myself. I've read the various metas that have popped up on my dash about how they complement each other and whatnot, and i'm even agreeing with them, yet, something is still bothering me about this whole debacle. It's not even a strong negative feeling just... a vague uncomfortableness I suppose. After spending some time on it, I THINK it's sorta stemming from the fact it feels like we lost 2 characters and getting a whole new one, since I always felt Davesprite as his own character with his own set of issues that need working through, and not some outside representation of Dave himself (as one meta I read suggested). I'm sure Davepeta will grow on me as a whole 'nother character (which they already are, and my friend who was initially enraged by this turn of events has been placated somewhat by basically canon genderqueer dave in a skirt), but I think the feeling of loss and the knowledge that we won't see the character(s) develop in a way that's not OOPS WE FUSED, SUDDENLY EVERYTHING'S BETTER is going to lay heavy on my mind in a while. Regardless of whether or not the above explanation is the culprit (cuz i'm not even 100% sure it is, i'm just sorta sifting through thoughts), this feeling is still pretty confusing and making my brain hurt. :U
I'm not 100% buying Davepetas happiness. I may be distrustful of anythign coming from any iteration of Dave regarding personal emotional status. But even Nepeta had a tendency to be avoidant with her own emotions. Davesprite was pretty damn bad at talkign about his feelings, apart from the occassional outburst. Idk while I'd be super happy if Davepeta is actually a happy self-fulfilled individual with genderqueer presentation (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D) I am not quite convinced this isn't 'AS LONG AS I AGGRESSIVELY ASSERT THAT I AM OKAY WITH THIS I AM ACTUALLY OKAY WITH THIS AND WOW NOW I'M GONNA SHOW THIS OFF TO PEOPLE AND THEN GO AND FIGHT A WORLDEATING DEMON THATS NOT SUICIDE AT ALL I AM PERFCECTLY HAPPY' (I think the 'i'm gonna go fight LE' thing is what's bothering me most)
I am bothered by the sprite fusions as well, and tbh it's bumming me out to have to keep reading knowing that this is what happens. It just gives me a giant no, even if I am just looking at the tumblrs I follow reblogging new fanart. No. No. No. Make it stop.
I'm cautiously optimistic about Davepeta's chances. The only way to defeat LE was said to be a series of glitches in spacetime and if there ever was a glitch no one expected it's Davepeta. Even LE can't be already here for that. Plus, I think it has been hinted Dave has a chance against LE and Davesprite was the closest not-actually-Dave thing to Dave. Double plus, there were hints that Equius sabotaged the Calfusion (voidy spots in Scratch's knowledge) and Nepeta probably could rouse him to sabotage further (not to mention she's a decent fighter herself). Davepeta's mental state and the narrative meaning of that fusion are a totally different beast and I am more cautious about those.
GOD FUCK IT WHAT THE HELL DOES THE POP-A-MATIC DRILL BIT DO? #i thought i had it all figured out #i thought it was the drill rig #but no, god fucking hussie #god damn it
@Wiwaxia it appears to be turning the buildings into grist? (did i misunderstand the question? if so, i'm sorry)
I don't think it was "I'm going to fight LE," it was "I'm ready to fight LE if I have to now." (Also the bit about liking Karkat makes me really happy I am really happy to have a canon bi kid.)
Bros talking to bros improved my shit day a bit. Thank you, Homestuck. (I could read three million pages of striders talking, even better if it's strilondes, OH MAN)
