Homestuck Live Reread: Dave and Rose's Destructive Questlines

Finally getting to the fun stuff, the Dave and Rose parallels.....I love how interwoven these two are. <3 Both Dave and Rose are at a point where two separate trolls are warning them about their destructive tendencies. The parallels start there and then sharply diverge.

In Rose's case, she is destructive against her Quest Line. She refuses to play the rain and tears through the fabric of the game to try and find something deeper. She is seeking out meaning through destruction.

Dave, on the other hand, is actually just following his Quest Line in many ways. The game sets up areas like the sword where he MUST be destructive to accomplish the task. And he isn't seeking something more from it, Sburb is grooming him to be destructive just as Bro was grooming him to be a weapon. I know a lot of ppl give John shit for being one of the most passive characters in Homestuck but it always makes me laugh how adherent Dave is to when being told what to do.

The aftereffects are interesting too. Rose feels punished/punishes herself for her destructive tendencies in the game because she will always question if she should have Played the Rain. And Dave acts very lost and fades into the background when he no longer has the guiding hand to tell him what new thing to break.

AHH i love them <3

slick was so insane for this i need to get inside his head. like imagine meeting some weird alien kid with an inferiority complex and the second thing you do after stabbing him is cut open your own hand to show him that his blood color is nothing to be ashamed of and thus allowing him to begin his arc of self-acceptance. and then he imprints on you like a baby bird and you spend the next couple of months learning about the power of friendship together

That's how this scene went, right?
