how do you think the jade/dirk or roxy/terezi dynamic would work?

Jade and Dirk: 

Jade listens to Dirk ramble about human culture or current Earth C pop culture or the nature of pornography as a philosophical language/art and is in awe, it’s like listening to someone who knows what they’re talking about like Rose but with the intense phallocentric interest of Dave and she thinks it’s by parts fascinating and hilarious. Jade is probably the person who makes furries evolve from an interesting sociological field of study into a full-blown fandom for Dirk. She helps him design his Horsesona or whatever. They hide all this from Jake for a while because neither of them is ready to deal with the inevitable Na’visona but it happens eventually anyway.

Dirk listens to Jade ramble about the secrets of the universe and science and technology and high-level engineering mechanics. Like I said he tutors her and Jake to get them up to speed on the last 400 years of engineering progress but Jade picks it up in like, a week, and from then on immediately starts crafting innovations that leave Dirk confused and beffudled and FRUSTRATED just trying to keep up–he loves it. He also helps her out doing grunt work for sciencey stuff and is mentally freaking out all the goddamn time because he wants to impress her so bad. They commiserate over Jake’s awful taste but Jade clowns on him hard over how in love he is and Dirk sits there and takes it getting owned like a chump. 

Roxy and Terezi:

They bond hard over falling for people who put out very strong personas that made them feel unloved for years (Dirk is also in this club even though he was the person Roxy was in love with after they talk it out. Terezi is like. Human romance sure is weird.) They also work together to tease the fuck out of John and eventually that grows into an interest in teasing the fuck out of each other. Also Terezi becomes Roxy’s go-to source for all the primest, juiciest Rose and Dave meteor years gossip/embarassing moments/secrets. One time Roxy teases Rose about, like, hey so i herd you willingly watched Twilight with Kanaya once and Rose is like FIRST OF ALL THAT WAS A FACETIOUS VIEWING AND SECOND OF ALL I WILL MURDER TEREZI PYROPE SHE’S THE ONE WHO WALKED IN ON US AND WE HAD THE COMMON ROOM -SCHEDULED- AND,

So what do you think post act-7 Strilonde plus honorary boyfriend/wife dynamics would be like? Stuff like Dave and Jake, Roxy and Kanaya, Rose and Jake, Roxy and Karkat… stuff like that?

Dave and Jake first and probably longest because I’ve been screaming about this for eons:

Dave and Jake come with a relationship built in if you think about it, and that relationship leads to not just Dave but also Dirk dying of embarrassment and also making Karkat and Jake instant bffs. Like. Dirk isn’t the only one with a SBAHJ tattoo and he’s not the only one who likes the movies, and yeah Jake likes every movie but he likes every movie PASSIONATELY and he adds every single word Dirk says about them and adds them to his pile of reasons to like the movies. Because they’re not just movies, they’re DIRK’S BRO’S movies, and Dirk’s Bro was a flipping HERO! And Jake knows EXACTLY how hard Dirk hero worshiped and looked up to Dave growing up, so considering how much Jake hero worships DIRK already…that rubbed off on him for sure.

So the instant Dave and Jake come into contact Dave is in for some incredibly flustered spiels about how cool he is and can Jake get an autograph and oh Dirk did you tell him about that stuff you said about the one really good part of moivie and and 

This is good for Dave because it gets across how highly Dirk really thinks of him much better than Dirk’s stoic, matter-of-fact recital, which means Karkat is immediately won over because anything that makes Dave happy is good by him, and it also gives everyone the pleasure of watching Dirk be actually legitimately embarrassed by something which is great. 

It’s also good for Jake because Dave seemed to have a similar particular admiration for Grandpa (just like I’m 100% sure one of Dirk’s reasons for taking an interest in robotics was being influenced by Grandma, sure as hell didn’t get it from Alpha Dave).

Kanaya loves Dirk and Jake but god she wishes they would let her dress them better. Dirk won’t stop tearing the arms off his shirts why. She finally makes progress by focusing on Jake alone and then having Jake help her influence Dirk.

I actually think Rose might underestimate Jake at first because she can be sort of smug and that might have her and Dirk come into conflict. More likely though is Jasprose is mean to Jake and Rose and Dirk commiserate over the pain of having an out of control splinter tormenting them. I know Jake would find her interesting and intimidating all at once and Rose would be very pleased with having another angle through which to interrogate Dirk. She’d try to pry into Jake but Jake is basically shameless and has nothing to hide. 

Roxy and Karkat and Dirk all bond over a “Piss on the Condesce’s actual grave” party and spend two months talking about how fucking awful she was. Roxy tells Karkat about killing the Condesce and wins him over as hard as Dirk and Jake do. 

Roxy and Kanaya were bros from the word matriorb but they like to team up to tease Rose sometimes and Rose is like how could you betray me like this…

Callie and Kanaya have a lot of fun learning Space powers together, too, not to mention bonding about their experiences with Sburb setting them apart from their culture. Roxy and Rose are delighted about this

I have more thoughts but that’s all for right now.

Summary:

Dave Strider is feeling different. Really, everyone is. Steps seem to carry more weight, voices seem to echo more, bodies seem thicker and more full of life and comfort.
Something is changing here, on this new planet, in this new universe. The cans of the town seem more real than the buildings of society ever did.
And sometimes if you close your eyes and listen there is something like a chorus, or an echo, from a place where things are different–but not by much.

All at once, the feeling becomes too much to ignore, and Dave needs to find out what’s happening.
But doing so means coming face to face with his old sprite, now become something totally unbearable and unfathomably graceful and self-assured.
And now it seems Dave’s curiosity may awaken in this new being a hunger…

A hunger for the illest beats ever dropped in the history of paradox space.
Beats that could change Dave, and all of his friends, in ways they could never have expected.

Welcome to Davepeta and Jasprose’s grand venue:
Good drinks, dim halls, chill beats and comfy bean bags
The Turnt Heck Godhead is open for business as long as you’re open to the feelings it can cause.

This is my bizzare, self-indulgent, hyperpersonal exploration of Homestucks’ ending and characters, circa summer of 2016. It’s NSFW, so if you’re under 18, do not click on it. I’m mostly posting it because it explores a lot of my more metaphysical and spiritual thoughts about Homestuck and also it’s basically a novel so the effort I put in demanded I be shameless, sorry.
