The reason I, like, never post my DaveKat art aside from that one post is bc I am TERRIFIED of mischaracterizing them. I hope this helps.
#saying i hope this helps as if anyone asked#i draw them a lot actually cause theyre fun to doodle#besides like vrisrezi and janeroxy theyre my most doodled ship#but fanon davekat is so weird and “ehhhh” its like. i feel like i need to hold myself to a super high standard to differentiate myself#and if my art has DIALOGUE???? oh god#general rule of thumb for dialogue that i have for them is that it should be funny#like actually funny#most of their interactions in canon are really funny#also i need to find this balance with how in touch they are with their emotions like dave is NOT that outwardly self-aware initially#and it depends on the time setting of the art too#but also like. hes not dumb. on some level he knows whats going on and what happened to him and who he is he just ignores it#and karkat#karkats actually easy to characterize for me the one thing i need to remember is that he says and does super embarrassing shit sometimes#and one must learn to live with this#oh and obviously im not gonna write them in a weird like. straight way? is the best i can describe it?#if you were around in old homestuck fandom or have seen old fics you know exaaaactly what i mean#why do they make dave actually CREEPY to karkat he wouldnt do that. ever.#i dont even know where that comes from tbh#like homophobia obviously but howwww#daves never really acted like that with karkat#and hes never acted like that with any of the characters hes popularly shipped with either (john. jade. terezi) like thats not him#highschool aus are the worst perpetrators of this btw sorry#why are you guys making him a jock⁉️⁉️⁉️
