John and Roxy don't screech the plot to a grinding halt to talk about their romantic entanglement, it just happens while other shit is happening. Meanwhile, post-retcon Dave wouldn't shut the fuck up about his situation and forced the audience to slog through multiple pesterlogs of it just to make sure he didn't slip something important between the cracks.

>>84296927
One was clearly setup and developed with romantic intent, the other had a pre-established best friends relationship which worked perfectly fine as an existing dynamic which made sense with the characters.

I seem to recall that Dave's conversations weren't the only ones that happened? And kind of were essential to pushing the plot forward, he had to have his discussion with Dirk otherwise that fight couldn't occur.

John wasn't clearly a homosexual with tons of flirting and clear sexual tension with a bunch of male characters who suddenly turned into a straight guy at the end for the sake of...nothing.
Dave being gay did nothing for his character. It just ruined a cool friendship dynamic between him and Karkat.

Dave flirted with guys so fucking much under what rock did you live in which you missed him flirting with Tavros and Equius constantly.

And under what rock do you live that you think someone CAN'T be friends with the person they're dating? Do you just use your partner for romantic gratification and then fuck off? Holy shit.

I still fail to see corellation between Dave and Karkat's relationship and the fact that Hussie just said "fuck it" to Karkat's character development. Even if he was single he'd still get no development in this case. You can't really call the relationship the issue.

>>84299120
You're right. They aren't actually connected, but the fact that the retcon and Vriskagram have all the bad things in Homestuck all tied together, they all kind of sit together in the same pile of shit.

Instead of everything we were looking forward to with Karkat's character, we got DaveKat. That's where the vitriol comes from.

Do you really need to whine about Davekat for hundreds of threads? Give it a rest.

Here's a substitute question for you: which Aspect governs over memory - Light, Heart or Mind?

>>84299642
If I had to go with one specific aspect I would be much more willing to state Light considering as an aspect it's also mean to represent information while Mind is moreso about choice.

However thanks to the discussion alt!Callie gave at the end about how aspects are interconnected in a way we can't see I feel way more confident in stating that there probably isn't one set aspect that governs "memories" but each interacts with that concept in it's own way.

blaming a ship over shitty character development is still no less of a petty excuse.

whether davekat makes sense to the audience or not is about both canon and our personal perception, and while it makes sense to me i still think it was for the most part badly executed. but the point is that it was as badly executed as almost anything was in the ending and to be honest it's kind of one of the least important things to whine about? yet all i've been reading in 60% of the 4chan threads in a year is "boohoo davekat is bad and jade should be pregnant of dave's offspring"

the only thing this fact tells me is that most people's priority here has nothing to do with character development at all.
>>
>>84299462
I would argue that one of the few things the retcon powers did initially for John was forcing him to come to terms with the personal responsibility associated with having influence over events. He accepts that he has to learn to use these new powers, despite his fears of not being the ideal candidate for utilizing them. The problem here being that in the end he just does what Terezi tells him to after shouting at him, instead of working somewhat equally to figure out what to do to ensure the best results. Then everything goes downhill after the retcon happens and no one really acts like they used to.
>>
>>84298819
Stop projecting so hard, yo. Dave was literally just ripping on them as a way to countertroll and make them as uncomfortable as possible. Like, all the hyperbolic sexual things he said in Tavros' conversation can't be taken as anything except ironic (this is what the joke).

And likewise you can bring up the fact he has a brief heartfelt moment about John and how he has a phallic obsession and how other characters CONSTANTLY questioned his sexuality early on, especially Rose and Dave got INCREDIBLY defensive at the idea of being classed as interested in men.

So anyway, if you didn't see it then by all means you're just bad at subtext. Not my problem.

>The problem here being that in the end he just does what Terezi tells him to after shouting at him, instead of working somewhat equally to figure out what to do to ensure the best results.
yes, john sounds like he barely absorbed the consequences of anything. and the others are not better.

yes, and that is exactly my problem. i'm mad about their character development being glossed over. as a davekat fan, the ship not being outright confirmed or actually explored post-vriskagram is quite literally one of the least of my fucking problems with this ending, and i guess i just don't get why the hell is this place so obsessed with crapping on a ship in stale terrible threads instead of discussing what could have worked better to end arcs and close plot holes, or even bitching about something else for a fucking change.

>>
>>84300641
I couldn't say. The thing to consider here is context. Dirk, contextually, was openly gay. He didn't care about it, the others didn't care about it.

Even if we go with the assumption that Dave was closeted gay, there simply was not enough "subtext" as >>84300588 is arguing. He showed overt interest in at least two female characters (Jade and Terezi) and this was not disingenuous. None of his interactions with other male characters even showed a slight tipping of the hand. Everything that could be construed as "gay" that he did was, in context, completely disingenuous.

That's the big problem, it's just not something that's congruent with his character at all and the only way it COULD have been is if there was more explanation and a better setup. But Hussie just hamfisted it in after the Retcon, which is why it's bad characterization and people are annoyed.

>>
>>84300367
I think you may be exaggerating, given the course of 500+ post threads usually cover a good range of posts, including gripes with the post retcon comic. But if I had to offer a reason for its prevalence, outside of the usual controversial reasons any shipping discussion brings, it's likely the way that what were the two most popular characters with the most depth and potential for development came out of the retcon acting considerably differently to their prior selves, due to reasons we didn't get to see. A backlash on the supposed relationship due to the poor character handling from Hussie essentially.
>>
>>84300290
I'd rather find out about a character's aspirations through their actions and interactions with other characters than being told by the Word of God. Especially when the Word of God is inconsistent and deliberately ambiguous to try and shoehorn wildly different personalities into the same box.
>>
>>84300759
But contextually everything Dirk did until he actually was confirmed to be dating Jake was always put down to "irony" regardless of what it was, people were just blinded to the idea of a man liking another man in that way.

There's certainly subtext in place to imply he's gay, >>84300562 brought up how he was defensive over Rose speculating on his homosexuality and there's the very brief moment he mentions he loves John to Rose when it came off as completely random. "I should check up on John, because.. I love him" and then Rose just goes "I know". I agree on that I would have loved to explore further if Dave did have some unrequited feelings for John.

I really do struggle to see where he showed overt interest in Jade so if you could point me into some dialogues that they had I'd very much like to read them. I don't deny that he very much had an interest in Terezi however.

Everything Dave did in context could also be construed as someone dealing with suppressed sexuality who doesn't know how else to state it other than to make it into a joke. It's like how his "irony" was basically a shield for the fact he he felt neglected and uncared for.

The only thing I think Hussie really hamfisted was that he thought he could give us Vriska's reappearance without ANY conflict.

>>
>>84300588
I think it's just an easy focal point for criticism given the range of issues associated with the retcon's effects. In particular on the two most popular characters who end up acting differently than they used to for reasons we either don't see or don't exist and their interactions are being used as a hamfisted "are they aren't they?" pairing when they had a perfectly good previous dynamic as best friends.

Shipping is just an odd subject matter that causes real conflict, why? Who fucking knows; I'd love to see some genuine research into it, but it's such a weird and select phenomenon that I doubt there's anything solid of that sort.
>>
>>84300967
Dave's actions, up until putting his head in Karkat's lap, are indistinguishable from typical heterosexual male behavior. The "he only said that because he was suppressing his true sexuality" argument isn't just weak, it's insulting to both heterosexual and homosexual men and perpetuates an harmful stereotype that men can't be trusted about their own feelings. It's the male equivalent of "she says she doesn't want it but deep down she really does".

Regarding Dave's interest in Jade, they certainly had a close bond, close enough that he said they "had kind of a special relationship" post-retcon during his conversation with Dirk. Pre-retcon, he was also distressed when Jade said he had broken her heart (referring to Davesprite), to which Dave said he would never do that. And Jade and Davesprite canonically dated pre-retcon, and since the Davesprite half of Davepeta stated he wasn't conflicted about possibly dating Karkat, it can be assumed that Davesprite and Dave have the same orientation and possible attraction to the same people

I'll be honest, and it's probably not gonna be popular: I think that Jake and Dirk patch things up and give dating another go. Considering their last few logs in the comic, they both admitted their faults in the relationship and feel bad that they messed things up, so I think they can talk through the issues they had and try to address their problems. Part of that being going a looooot slower on things.

I actually adjusted the table a bit, because clearly they weren't having enough sex. Aside from Jane (which started this whole thing) new partners always get involved in a threesome first. Anyway, as far as Jake goes, because he's back with Dirk and going slow, he'd probably decline right away, but might say yes later on, once he feels more comfortable in his own relationship.

What >>84302165 said. It's done now, I just felt John should be having more incest fucking, and that he should have a go with Aradia without Roxy along, because we all know she's pretty much down for anything. Among lesser twerks, of course.

Exactly. And if I make a plot hole, I'll probably be tempted to make John stick his dick in it. So we need to avoid that at all times.

time?
johnxroxy was introduced as quick as their meeting in the jail cell, which have been at least more than a year since, while davekat was introduced in the end.
dave and karkat already had a thing going with other characters (female characters) so their ship kind of threw those relationships to the trash. john had what? maybe rose? she was denied quickly cus of lesboaction (which was not rushed in the least) maybe vriska? nope, she was already swooning over meenah and had already dated dead john for a while.
roxy had same problem as john, most dating prospects were taken or gay or both. then john came, who looked like one of her crushes (jake). remember that john also found mom lalonde hot before she died so there is that.

She was written as a proper secondary, supporting character back when there was a clear main cast. She added to the story's plot, the primary stage of Skaia and most importantly she helped develop John as a character which is the most important thing for a secondary character to do. The lesser trolls are examples of poorly done secondary characters that only get worse as the story goes on.

>>84302899

They're probably pretty awkward, at least at the start. I imagine they'll get more used to it after a while, once they get more comfortable in the situation. As far as jealousy goes, it probably helps that the centerpiece of the fuckpile is John, Roxy and Terezi's fairly stable relationship. Not saying jealousy and trouble couldn't happen, but the three of them are working hard to make sure it won't happen.

What fun would it be otherwise?

It was a scenario from a thread a few weeks ago, the idea being Karkat and Kanaya are hanging out, they fall asleep together on the couch (maybe cuddling) and wake up in the dream bubbles with Porrim teasing them until eventually invitations to bow chicka bow wow are handed out. Both Karkat and Kanaya have issues with this, neither of which is powerful enough to dissuade them.

A fun idea I had was Kanaya unsure about sex with her ancestor, then suddenly she hears Rose calling down to her from a nearby balcony, telling her "Hey, we've all fucked our moms, it's pretty cool."

>Wow, thank you for insulting anyone who doesn't like what you're doing in the comic. Nice to see you're a world class douchebag on top of being a shitty writer. Is there no level your ability to be an asshole won't steep?
AT NO POINT DID I DO WHAT YOU ACCUSED ME OFF.

BUT NOW THAT YOUR QUESTION HAS BEEN SELECTED FOR A RESPONSE. PRACTICALLY EVERYONE WHO READS IT WILL REGARD YOU AS A FROTHING ASSHOLE. UNFAIRLY OR OTHERWISE. GOOD THING YOU'RE ANONYMOUS! I WONDER HOW YOU WOULD HANDLE A SIGNIFICANT VOLUME OF NEGATIVITY DIRECTED AT YOU? GIVEN HOW EASILY RATTLED YOU SEEM TO BE. PROBABLY NOT VERY WELL.

ALSO. WHY IS MY ABILITY TO BE AN ASSHOLE STEEPING? IS IT MAKING TEA?

>You sure take a lot of refuge in humor. A reason for stupid plot developments, a reason for acting like an asshole. What else do excuse with it?
WHAT CAN I SAY. I HAVE A VERY EXPANSIVE SENSE OF HUMOR.

ALSO THOSE THINGS DON'T NEED EXCUSING. CAUSE THEY WERE ALL PRETTY GOOD. WHATEVER THEY WERE. AND THE HUMOR BEHIND THEM DIDN'T JUSTIFY THEM. BUT DROVE THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.

BUT QUITE FRANKLY. YOU SOUND LIKE A BIT OF A DICK TO ME.

AND I DOUBT YOU ARE AS FUNNY AS I AM. SO WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE?

>Wow, you're becoming kind of a jerk. People may not be wording these in the politest of ways, but other people who are stable minded may share some of these opinions and you're pretty much insulting in whole. Shouldn't they be allowed to have views?

DO MY JOKES DISALLOW VARIED VIEWS?

MY JOKES WOULD BE PRETTY DANGEROUS IF THEY DID THAT.

>If you were forced to choose between working with an entirely textual medium or with an entirely visual medium, which would you choose?
