John's grandmother is the adopted daughter of Mark Twain.

His great grandmother is the Troll Empress. REALLY hope some one brings that up at some point.

Not that it is really important, but if you right click and press play enough on the choose your conversation panel, it says "PANELS AREN'T POSTED YET" in red. Also, I just realized the colors supported by BBcode color tags on this site match the ones used by the various characters of homestuck. I guess there are only so many easily distinct colors though.

Seriously, though. It would be great if at some point Dave shows Karkat how to really argue with past/future selves by setting up an all Dave social network.

I think it's pretty clear at this point that Hussie's policy on lasting romantic relationships of any importance to the plot can be best summarized as "no hetero".

That and he's clearly using retcons to pander in as many ships into this convoluted plot as he can.

It definitely does feel like a case of "Fine, you wanted it?? Well you GOT it" from Hussie when it comes to the sudden onslaught of sicknasty acrobatic relationship-related loving pirouettes off the handle. And maybe that's not what he intended for it to come across as, but to me it seems like he's resolving it all by laying it right out on the table in one huge dump just because the fanbase demonstrated that they wanted this talk to happen so drat badly.

If that were the case I'd have never made this this far. Perhaps it's just that up to this point Dave has been the least awkward, and I may have finally bagged my teenage shenanigans limit?

It doesn't feel unwieldy really at all though, it just feels like the characters talking. Dave's development has been pretty plausibly leading up to this - some serious self-examination about who he is and what he wants.

It's funny that both Dave and Karkat go off trying to convince John he has romantic feelings he doesn't have. I mean, most of Dave's speech is about masculinity, but his initial response was sort of defensive that John wouldn't consider kissing boys.

It would be full of John pulling pranks on Terezi, then Terezi pulling one that gets him killed but in a way that he resurrects.

I agree that this is a huge load of text but if we imagine this as an insistently submitted reader input command along the lines of ==> Dave: Use the postapocalypse's dissolution of all meaningful social constructs to question your entire culture's heterosexist masculinity and arrive at a deeper understanding of yourself it's really in keeping with the spirit of the comic's premise.

There has been all of one new relationship, Dave with Karkat, so I offer up the possibility that you're a retarded manchild who is mad that the characters aren't acting how you want them to.

That's not really true though. John has those feelings because he's the one describing them, all Dave and Karkat are doing is saying "dude, this thing you're describing is the basis of spades".

The only thing that's funny is that John is likely to interpret this as meaning that he has to ask Terezi out, because in a lot of ways he's even more of an old man thank Jake and has a view of relationships that's heavily focused on obligation (remember when he was half jokingly going on about having to marry Rose? and the thing with Davesprite's ghost butt too).

"IT'S SUPPOSED TO FEEL hosed UP" is a pretty lovely endorsement for a relationship.

Also, he said Terezi frustrated him, and then Karkat basically said "THEN YOU WANT TO BONE HER, IT'S THE ONLY POSSIBLE EXPLANATION".

Yes that's the joke. That's always been the joke, spades is literally just the classic toxic relationship, except that to trolls it's a positive romantic ideal that can be continued indefinitely.

Which honestly is only slightly less realistic than imagining that a normal earth human romantic relationship can, should, or will continue forever.

Hussie has made a Dave and Karkat and John conversation that is only a little funny and otherwise just kind of garbage, so I think it's finally clear he's lost it.

It is pretty funny to me now though that s many characters have turned been revealed to be gay that now the main character when he says he's straight is given the old talking to about how you should just go with everyone else and be bisexual like everyone else, you weird freak. It holds a nice mirror to our current society.
