#because he’s Dave

[abirthdayclown]

Alpha Dave’s legacy is so funny to me. Imagine if Tim Burton looked like Tony Hawk and was famous for being ironically enigmatic and patenting JPEGS. Now imagine him leading an armed political resistance. That’s Dirk’s bro.

help whats with him clinging to shit. almost every panel he is shown theres something hes clinging to

Something's missing

"i hate davepeta they ruined davesprite's character arc!!" mfw the character burdened with their identity finds freedom and joy in allowing themselves to become a different person rather than remaining trapped as a "bargain bin" facsimile of their ideal self

✨suggestive✨

[relaxxattack]

controversial opinion right now but dave is actually very responsible and good at planning. and in a lot of ways has a pretty good intuition and maturity for his age

Wanted to mess with charcoals again, so here's a little Hal and Sunny based on a memory I have of my own dad.

@davekatweek day 5: crossover

this has been sitting in my brain ever since @notedchampagne talked about their own au like FOREVER ago (check them out as well!!! they are so normal and awesome ^^) anyway its a the locked tomb au where karkat takes the place of harrow as a necromancer of ninth house and dave takes gideons place as his cavalier (<- horrible). they are both so cringefail that i think it would be THE funniest shit ever

locked tomb spoilers (for maybe all 3 books i dont remember whats revealed in each one lol) under the cut + more art

go read locked tomb if you havent already!!!!!

OK well first of all im just going to put a screenshot of sams tltstuck idea here because its perfect and captures every thought i had about this

second of all... i just HAD to draw lyctor!karkat because i genuinely believe that becoming one would be the worst thing that could ever happen to him <33 hes not having a good time at ALL (just as an fyi i forget if he would have both eyes be red or just one as a lyctor. but whatever is the worse option 👍)

also as a side effect of dave being in gideons place i think that makes bro/dirk = god.......which is SO fitting but also horrible. anyways heres some extra variations without text

[becquerel]

the bloodcastes in homestuck are so funny like heres this canon system of oppression these aliens have. heres how theyre bigoted with it. btw this only matters for about twenty minutes and the characters who are canonically the Only of their given blood color on their planet (and thereby the Most oppressed or quite literally Training To Be the Empress) are never going to talk about that to anyone else except One Guy and the One Guy is going to be a Huge Douche about it to them. the only hemoist character left by the end of the story is vriska also because everyone else is either A. dead or B. lowblood. no this isn't ever resolved because of the retcons for all we know vriska is still in fact hemoist by the end of the story because most of her character growth was removed

3 days to go! Day 3 - Fashion or Robots

As per the sibling code, these two must drop everything to roast each other

idk younger hs2 cast meets harry anderson for some reason

ah yes, I also created a biological Davekat kid when I was bored Placeholder name being Andy, but only because I like it :BB

More under the cut

People that know him call him "zombie boy" because of his skin and eyes, he doesnt like that nickname when said by others but he actually uses a similar name when being online. I imagine he enjoys finding lost media and creating his own short movies using a very old camera at abandoned places and such. Probably also writes selfship fanfics but using an alt name, haha. He gets sick very often due to his genetics being fucked up (troll and human mix doesnt sound very good lol), doesnt really feel cold temps unless is snowing, looks older and is taller than most peers his age.

Karkat treats him like the most precious thing on the whole galaxy (causing Andy to dislike him a little bit for not being "strict enough" and ignoring his insecurities about his appearence) while Dave fears of messing up the whole parenting thing but still doing his best (Andy prefers Dave because hes more "chill" to his eyes, like the kind of people that acts relaxed when being in a situation of panic and chaos)

what else do you think he would like????
