TG: it like the tight end was going long down the yard in sudden death TG: its me im the tight end TG: and the quarterback sniped the fieldgoal just before the nfl buzzer went off TG: the greedy qb is you TT: That's not even close to being a thing in football. TG: but instead of winning the gold sports prize you just fucking die and nobody cares and it didnt mean anything
And this is just heartbreaking.
See, Dave’s natural tendency is to turn every conversation into a joke, and thus avoid any genuine display of emotion - but, right here and now, he's starting to do the opposite. He and Rose will slip into an extended Strider metaphor – and then Dave will slip back out again, pivoting back into the serious conversation.
Dave, for possibly the first time ever, is trying his absolute damnedest to stay sincere – because if he can’t make an authentic argument against Rose’s plan, his sister will die.
TG: the sport pile doesnt stop from getting taller TT: Does the officiator have a means of measurement on hand? TT: I wouldn't want to be crushed by a nonregulation sport pile. TG: what do you care youll be dead like the mission thieving poser you are TT: Poser? […] TG: yes poser it should be my torso getting pulverized by that avalanche of overpaid beefcakes and you know it
There he goes again! Dave is fighting his own instincts here, constantly forcing the pair back into a serious conversation. He’s that affected by Rose’s imminent fate.
As for Rose...
... on reflection, I think her attempt at psychoanalysis says a lot more about her mental state than it did about Dave's.
Despite her handle, Rose isn't an actual psychotherapist; she's a thirteen-year-old kid. In reality, she has no idea what's going on in Dave's head - so when she steered the conversation the way she did, she wasn't following any actual thread of psychological understanding. Some of her guesses might have been on the mark, but at the end of the day, she was just ad-libbing.
And while she was ad-libbing, she just happened to steer the conversation in a direction that supported her claim to the suicide mission.
This is Rose's own attempt to save her friend. She's desperately trying to convince Dave - and herself - that she's the one who needs to die.
TT: Were we pursuing the hackneyed debate over who has the best claim to self sacrifice, TT: Or seeing who can out-dumbass the other with obtuse sports lingo? TG: there obviously stopped being a difference between those things the question is offensive
Come on, Rose. If you check out early, this stupid, ridiculous, wonderful argument will be the last one you'll ever have with Dave Strider.
Are you really at peace with that?
"Gosh, this one is gorgeous!" I said before I wrapped my arms around his new, luxurious body...

Clearing out my camera roll 3937/?
TT: I am piloting the moon through the Furthest Ring right now. TT: At the moment, it's passing through a dream bubble. I am visiting your dream in person.
Rose might be able to speak to Dave, for now - but in reality, she's all alone out here.
I don't think she'll be alone forever, though. Aradia seems to be planning to meet her at the Sun - and, according to the Maid of Time herself, she's here to help.
Things might seem pretty grim for our Seer, but Aradia's still trying to lend her fellow Derse girl a hand. This time, maybe Rose will be able to take it.
TG: this sucks TG: could you just please turn the thing around and come back TT: Why? TT: I'm already out here. Might as well go through with it. TG: we agreed id do it though
This is so fucked. They’re both desperately trying to save each other’s lives – and no matter who wins, we'll still lose. Just like the Sprites, these kids need some sort of miracle.
TG: or at least you pretended to agree TG: just before going into a major league wind up with your nap yarn TT: A major league wind up? TG: sports TT: It's always been pretty sad that I seem to know more about sports than you. Which is really saying something. TG: all im saying is TG: no one likes a basketball hog TT: It's probably just "ball hog." TG: i just think you should know TG: that in the athletic arena of competitive achievement TG: its a widely known fact that cherry picking posers get showered in nothin but boos
They think this is the last conversation they’ll ever have, and this is what they’re doing - which, honestly, makes perfect sense.
They don't want to think about what's about to happen, so their conversation gives way to petty bickering. After all, this is the last chance they'll have to enjoy a silly little squabble, before everything comes to an end.
...this is all so wrong.
