i really love these voices. it felt like they were expressive, and they sounded like real 13 year olds. i didn't listen to let's read homestuck specifically since they didn't match my headcanons, and this is way closer. i know people don't think dave's supposed to have a deep southern drawl or monotone 1)he's 13 2) he's from huston and i've never met anyone from huston with an accent 3) the line we're talking about is him screaming at john because a meteor is careening towards john's house. i like that he is actually reacting. dave reacts in the comic. i feel like making him monotone would not translate well into animation. as for all the actors being white, i hope the alpha kids have some non white voice actors. rose's voice is not what i expected, but i actually really like it. what's important to me is that these are professional, experienced voice actors. they can do their jobs and convey emotion. i'm so curious to see, if this series gets adapted, what they do with the trolls
