LOVE the consensus but we have yet to consider: dave strider in his sneakers and his old t shirts and his fanny packs or whatever bullshit he’s got going on looking like he just rolled out of bed but still like??? is it the way his hair touches his brow, ever so lightly?? is it the fan to his lashes? the big red eyes?? he is Cheekbones and he is Freckles and he is Dark Circles and just like a greek fucking STATUE like a RENAISSANCE PAINTING like the particular brand of muse lord byron and other romantic-era poets would lose their GOURDS over. he’s beautiful in this type of accidental, clumsy, tired way that is just so AUTHENTIQUE.
meanwhile rose is in a hoodie that says “COME LITTLE MAN TO THE CIRCUS- HAVE YOU TOO TURNED YOURSELF TO SOMETHING FOR THE VIEWING? FOR CONSUMPTION?” with three day old eyeliner creating some sort of bargain bin smokey eye, drinking battery acid out of a mug that says “team edward”, hissing at sunlight like a wounded, gay animal
i will always stand by that dave and rose have probably one of the most intimate and close relationships in all of homestuck like it is really beyond words how well they know each other and how well they click and their understanding for each other even if sometimes they are frustrated with one another
that’s why it hurts me so bad that dave is so mad and pissed off at rose for drinking because you know it is only out of love and anxiety for her
a daverose wedding would be the epitome of opulence, decadence— as in them signing courthouse papers, dave in heelies and a $5000 swarovski bedazzled velvet tux, rose in a custom-fit squiddles ball gown, and showing up late to the ceremony at taco bell. they order everything off the dollar menu x5. dave hides the rings inside a chalupa
