(I dont hate davekat as a ship, I hate how the fandom ships Davekat)
saw the post about not liking davekat (no hate! i enjoy the aroace headcannon!) and i was wondering about your opinion on maybe davekat as a queer platonic relationship? i saw a fic for it awhile ago (i dont remember the title sadly) and thought it was a nice way to veiw their relationship
ok sick we are being respectful all around this house about this topic. i like that . no shade to the shippers or the allo dave headcanoners and no shade to me in return . symbiotic relationship
personally though if you want my thorough honest opinion on qpr dvkt, then qpr dvkt still actually falls into the It Makes Me Uncomfortable circle. cause idk if i ever actually specified but my longstanding dave hc from years and years ago was ... actually specifically a nonamorous aroace dave
in all reality i really just could not find any semblance of Special Connection between dave and karkat while i was reading the comic until like toward the very end when the wiki was updated to say they were “implied” to be together (or whatever it said in 2016) and at that point it just kinda seemed. forced! cause without checking the wiki i didnt know where the fuck it was coming from !
dave and karkat have a really good potential for a really good friendship but like . just. not.. not anything involving commitment. dave has never seemed like the kind of guy who would ever want to commit to anything like that and honestly, karkat actually radiates the energy of someone who even struggles to form feelings in the first place (enter: my greyro ace karkat headcanon). and i KNOW a lot of the fandom can back me on this one cause ive seen the demi karkat headcanon SKYROCKET in the past two years (which is SWEET)
tldr Very neat idea and im glad people are havin fun with it ( //gen ) but its just not for me and ive got no reason trying to force it to be
do i genuinely think davekat is a painfully 8oring ship or has the fandom just sucked all life out of it the saga
Okay you know what? I’m gonna say it. I’m fucking devasted that we got DaveKat instead of DaveTav. Yes, I like DaveKat. I like it a lot! However. The situation parallels between RoseMary and DaveTav were so good? Both trolls contacted the other human for advice on how to deal with the situation. They both had fucking fantastic dynamics. I simply want Tavros to be happy. Why did Hussie do this?
im starting to slowly getting desinterested by homestuck for so many reasons
- Hiveswap not out yet
-i don´t like davekat tbh and it makes me feel that... weird feel of unsatisfactory shivers...... so, yeah, not for me.
-this fandom is turning weirder and weirder every single day.
-judemek is dying faster than what i thought and its the only thing tying me up to hiveswap.
- i have plans and an active social life.
-simple maturing.
I have davekat blacklisted too bc 99% of the content feels like it was made by fujoshis who think dave and karkat are their precious little uwu gay boys even though karkat is loud curses and hates everyone and dave has severe apathy issues that would probably make him difficult to be around
HANDSHAKE HANDSHAKE HANDSHAKE.... i do like the ‘they 8oth grew up constantly fearing for their lives and are traumatized’ 8ut even then if they were to 8ond over that i f33l like itd 8e an overly 8lunt convo mildly self deprec8ing and weirdly short though they k33p thinking a8t it for the rest of the day, at most, not ‘DAVED STRIDER I AM... YEARNING.... HOLD ME’ its kinda disappointing too 8c even in canon their only romantic implic8ions is ‘sat on couch and watched movie together’ and like, 8eing in the troll kingdom together, i guess? and again!! dave suplexed karkat for 8iting his cape!!!! they could have an actually interesting and fun to watch dynamic instead of throwing their personalities out the window to make the most 8land romantic shit ever! and i f33l like theres a m/m hs ship thatd fit the 8ill of ‘sappy emotional 8oys’ 8etter, too, i dont know what itd 8e yet and like none of the hs 8oys are sappy unless its to get smth out of someone 8ut ill find it someday. someday
"dave and karkat are similar bcuz daves brother is awful 2 him and karkats society is awful 2 him" dave and karkat are similar because their dads both beat them. this would of course require thinking abt a carapacian though which is impossible 2 ask of a davekatter.
davekat can be as Canon as y'all want but that doesn’t change how bad karkat is
