T B Q H given the sheer number of memetic/deific iconography surrounding all of the kids you could legitimately make some really terrifically cohesive/interesting Soul Portrait shots of them even if they also looked like horrendous hilarious shit
I would pay genuine money to see that come into existence it could be really great. hmm.
TBH i have actually thought about this before, like if fraymotifs could be used outside of combat, could a seer’s powers combined with heart or blood get you something like that? probably not, since there’s no indication that the seer of blood (kankri) could literally see the connections between people, but it’s a fun idea. (dirk voice: rose, did you know that your soul is a writhing mass of orange tentacles? pretty dope.)
alternatively, they could alchemize a camera that lets you photograph people’s souls, or make a horrible soul portrait, sort of like how dave alchemized a camera that turns everything into sbahj
FUCK FUCK FUCK THAT THAT LAST THING
I WANT AN ENTIRE 30 CHAPTER LONG FIC ABOUT DAVE MAKING A SOUL PICTURE CAMERA AND TAKING HIS FRIENDS PICTURES, BUT LIKE, THE PICTURES REVEAL REALLY GAY SHIT ABOUT THEM ALL
He takes Rose’s picture and at the core of her there’s just like, a sun, a blazing blinding sun the surface of which is COVERED in Kanaya’s virgo symbol, like a delicate threaded cage holding in the sun.
He and Rose stare at it and Rose is like. I won’t put a curse on you if you just hand me the picture and never speak of it again. Dave is like fine. Rose is like also send me the captcha code for that. Also take a picture of Dirk that would be handy. Dave is like for what. Rose winks at him and his spine crawls.
Dave takes a picture of Dirk and Jake and just ends up handing it to them misty eyed like sorry i never took this bye
Dave takes a picture of himself and karkat and they get married.
why is everyone in this comic so beautiful and in love and gay 😥
dave: uh jake do you know that you have like… extra soul? a soul hanger-on?
jake: huh?
dave: it’s pink, does that help
jake: OH thats just dirk’s soul. he gave me a piece of his soul when we were little by accident when he fell in love with me! i call him brain ghost dirk and sometimes he helps me out a jam. hes a nice fellow!
dave: thats………gay
karkat, eavesdropping: what the fuck, i have never heard something more romantic in my entire life, why dont YOU literally give me your heart dave
