you know that one how to make an alt-j song video where the two dudes are going “put it in my butt” into a loop pedal and shoving rice crackers in their mouths? thats dave and rose whenever they hang out
i promise if you rewatch this as rose an dave itll change your life
If we’re being real here Alpha Dave’s shitty .jpegs were canonly so shitty they gave the person who bought them money. So I propose the following:
Dave and Rose’s ultimate act as anti-consumerism jesuses was to saturate the economy Neopets-style by generating so much excess cash from nowhere that hyperinflation causes the USD to plummet, whereby flatlining the 1% and forcing the American people (as well as the rest of the world) to resort to a local bartering system rather than depend on purchasing their basic necessities from megacorporations who may or may not want to take over the Earth.
I cut the cake on my baby gender reveal party and the m&m’s are black. “It’s a goth!” we shout in unison. My family is sobbing. Morticia Addams is there,
Belated realisations that make me feel very dense:
Early on in Homestuck, about 500 pages in, there’s a pesterlog between Rose and Dave wherein Rose improvises a short poem about buttfucking a muppet.
In response, Dave sarcastically refers to her as Emily Dickinson.
On the surface level, it’s a crude pun – he’s calling her “Dickinson”, and she was just extemporising about puppet dick.
However, I literally just noticed that her improvised poem happens to be in perfect iambic tetrameter – which is, in fact, the poetic meter in which Emily Dickinson most often worked.
like they spend the rest of their days in a one bedroom in the south of france and it’s like sheer curtains and croissants with apricot jam and maybe a little bookstore and siamese cats and lots of black turtlenecks and long walks and quick kisses and they never stop loving each other for a second
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
