these days the majority of daverose content we all produce is some unholy combination of jokes thinly veiling a deep need, overt insincerity to the point of it wrapping around itself and becoming sincere once again, absurdist abstract concepts that draw from a hundred things that aren’t anywhere near being homestuck related, all with a desperate kind of nostalgia that doesn’t even define what time or place we’re longing to return to, and i think that’s something close to describing what daverose as a ship is.
