Random Homestuck Headcanon I'm aware is pure fluff

Seeing as both Roxy and Dirk had rooms we can assume that Alpha!Rose knew they'd be temporally created and crash to Earth at some point. Despite Alpha!Dave mainly making things for his son/bro/technical father, I wanna believe he made something for his daughter/sister/technical mother(who, ironically, he's more like) too.

TL;DR In-universe, "Pumpkin Party in Sea Hitler's Water Apocalypse" was made by Alpha!Dave, and was the last track he ever composed before The Batterwitch killed him and Alpha!Rose.

One of Roxy's themes is in Vol. 9 of the Soundtrack: "Pumpkin Party in Sea Hitler's Water Apocalypse"(One of my personal favorite HS songs), which covers a lot of instruments. There's Square Waves, Banjo, Accordion(or probably what it is, Concertina, considering the water theme and how that's an instrument that's linked with the Active counterpart to Roxy's Class; Pirates), Bass, some whistling, and notably for any version of Dave, turntable noises.

All the Beta Kids are linked with musical instruments. John, the piano. Rose, violin. Jade, her bass. Dave, however? His instrument is turntables. It's what he adds to "Derse Dreamers" from the "Prospit and Derse" album. Heck, it's what represents the Scratch mechanisim on LOHAC, as well as being the instrument used for time travel.

Point is, there's a lot of things linking this theme to Dave in its instrumentation. What if, stick with me on this, after Alpha!Dave became rich from the Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff movies, once he heard of Rose's future daughter, he started composing a music track(Alpha!Bro is stated to have had a media empire. Considering Dave's Aspect, surely that would include music!!) one day. Filling it with all these layers, with his partner in rebellion helping him plan the instrumentation(Seers are aware to know through a Scratch. That's why The Signless started his movement on Alternia in the first place). His music producer was quite alarmed at the possible titles Mr. Strider was considering for this piece and the passion he was pouring into it; thought the man was planning to send his life off with a bang! Ultimately, under the suggestion of Alpha!Rose, he called it "pink project", taking the offical recording of the only mix as The Drones and ) (IC were approaching where he and Alpha!Rose were holed up, thus explaining what sounds like air raid sirens and the stomping in the background of the song.

400 years later Dirk learned of the song and, wanting to share it with someone without breaking the timeline before SBURB, sent it to Roxy. Her Carapacian neighbors hear it once, and start associating it with their kind, pumpkin-providing human. Even Dirk himself gets in on this, making a part of it his ringtone for Roxy on Earth-C.
