One thing about me is that I WILL be emotional over a cat person and bird people and robotgirls and robotboys and plant lady and a rusting rowbot and other non human people and even some humans and /especially/ robottheys (twm) and the author and his kids and oh my goshim gonna sob

honestly i dont think dave was ever that into terezi

i do think they dated tho. but like..... okay. before and during the game i think he was actually into jade (all the sick beats, the way hes sooo much more gentle w her than w john and rose, the way they flirt throughout the first half of the comic, DAVESPRITE). and i think lots of people--karkat, john, maybe even terezi herself--saw him talking to terezi so much and assumed he was into her because of it. but thats the thing: we dont really see that from him. when the topic comes up he either avoids the conversation or denies liking her completely. he IS aware that she likes him; admittedly, she's kind of using him as a rebound/distraction from karkat and vriska. i think he realizes that too, certainly towards the end of the game.

i dont think he's like..... under any delusions that he's the guy for her or that shes the girl from him, at any point, even when they date on the preretcon meteor. and i dont think she is either tbh (though if one of the two might convince themself of that, id see it from her more than from him). what he DOES get out of that relationship tho is just.... low expectations. same as what she gets from him; for her, there's no baggage, and he's waayyy less intense than karkat and vriska, which she likes. for him, its like.... john and rose and jade are all so NOSY. they ask him questions and expect answers from him and its getting harder and harder for him to pretend everythings okay. and later, on the meteor, karkat falls into that pattern for him too. but with TEREZI, sure, she'll ASK the hard hitting questions. her questions are more blunt than anyone elses. but she doesnt actually care about the answers; she gets him to think about it without putting any pressure on him to communicate, not really. i think every act four/five convo between dave and terezi, dave is constantly lying to her. and they both know it. but it's okay, because theyre THERE for the lowered expectations.

until, of course, the reality that terezi's kind of violent and crazy catches up with him, when she kills his alt self to explain god tiers. thats a little too much for him; he throws up a wall and spends the rest of the session hanging out with jade instead. and she runs off crying bc she feels bad for killing him, and also is upset that she fucked up, pushed him too far when she actually was really starting to like him. still, though, they make up on the meteor. they date, in a low pressure, casual kind of way--neither of them confirms to anyone else that they actually HAVE a thing, which kind of makes me think they never put a label on it. when dave's justifying leaving her when she starts her thing with gamzee, he's super defensive about it, acting like it doesnt bother him much ('why would it, he never really was dating her anyway'). and hes certainly not emotionally available after three years on the meteor, not the way he is post retcon when he spends that time with karkat instead. we also see preretcon terezi in a baaad bad place, feeling isolated and worthless and guilty; i think if she and dave had a more genuine relationship she might not have felt QUITE so insecure. not putting the onus on him alone of course; she had a lot going on.

i do think they get along. i think theyre good friends, actually. theyre just.... not that INTO each other, but they still feel bad knowing that about the other; it still sucks when they break up. i think they ended up ramping up each others insecurities on the meteor, even though they started from a place of just being safe and relaxed together. also, i think the fact that terezi was willing and able to kill her best friend scares the shit out of dave, even though he refuses to show it bc its 'unmanly' or whatever. idk. vibes

i’m gonna cry it’s raining right now and i just passed by a family where both parents were without an umbrella but their kid who couldn’t have been older than like 3-4 was proudly holding this GIANT umbrella whose diameter was as tall (if not taller) as the kid. both the parents were getting absolutely drenched but u could tell the kid was just so happy to have an “adult” task and carry the umbrella themselves and i think that sacrifice is what love is all about
