RE:ValinaValina

Karkat and Dave's dynamic also happened on screen. it wasn't explicitly romantic most of the time, no, but neither is most of the stuff Rose and Kanaya do; their most explicitly couple-y moments are when they're fighting. that's my point. Homestuck is far more concerned with characters being funny together than having mushy kissy moments, and in this respect Dave and Karkat are one of the comic's most prominent couples.

I'm not interested in having the "Bro =/= Dirk" conversation in this thread on top of all the other threads I've had it in already LOL. but Kankri exists to elaborate on the Signless' character. how Kankri and Meulin feel about each other offers insight into how their adult selves feel about each other. the same way we can tell "Mom and Dad" are a stupid couple because we know Roxy will literally fixate on the first "eligible" boy she sees. Homestuck Doesn't Care For Mushy Shit
