I’m Trying To Figure Out Why I Like Davepetasprite So Much.

I’m trying to figure out why I like Davepetasprite so much.

Part of it is the juiced-up wish fulfillment of it all, which feels like a very deliberate gesture - DPS look like someone’s OC because they are a perfected being, the Very Thing You Want, as filtered through the native symbol language of MSPA. Forget that Hope nonsense: this is what an angel looks like in comic sans.

It’s also the end of Dave’s arc, in the way that Jasprosesprite is the end of Rose’s. The Strider/Lalonde problem is anhedonia. A situation in which Dave is able to delight in himself - surely that’s the major problem of his character solved, right? And it couldn’t happen to the “real” Dave, because that kind of solution doesn’t happen to real people. You don’t wake up one day and decide that you love yourself. Magic is required.

So the squared sprites are projections of what Dave and Rose wanted to be, really. Ultraconfident sexually aggressive tentacle cat princess and empathetic androgynous never-alone mindmeld hyperfurry? Are you kidding me? Sign my terrified middle-school self up. If this were really a video game and these kids genuinely gained all the levels, these are what the results would be: the highest selves of 13-year-old trauma victims. Not god tiers, but gods. And, as gods, they are peripheral - they have to be, right? The mortals are over there weeping and hugging and smothering themselves with pillows, but the trade-off is they get to have the real relationships and learn the real lessons and live the real lives. Original Dave and Original Rose get to live without pain.

There are always these gears turning in Homestuck under all the bullshit, and that’s what I’m here for. The Bad Man has this insane propensity for getting me to feel genuine feelings about the impossible and the impossibly stupid.

some stuff regarding the upd8!

kanaya has the matriorb. so she will hatch a brand new mother grub, and she can repopulate the earth with trolls.

when calliope grows up, she will become the guardian of this new universe, as all good-aligned cherubs do

according to echidna, karkat is to be the new leader of the trolls, so as to prevent another “race of lost trolls”

wv’s and pm’s goal as exiles was to reintroduce civilization to earth. mission accomplished.

more specifically, when the white queen dubbed pm queen, she told her to bring jack noir to justice and rebuild their kingdom in a new land. check and check.
