I wrote a whole essay on davekat

i turned this whole thing in for a grade last year. i got an A, which 100% should make you question the education system

-------------------------------------------------------

Dave Strider and Karkat Vantas, two main characters from the webcomic Homestuck by Andrew Hussie, have long been a popular ship among fans, who value their complex dynamics, witty banter, shared interests, and mutual respect. While some argue that other pairings, such as John Egbert and Vriska Serket or Rose Lalonde and Kanaya Maryam, are more canonically supported or thematically resonant, DaveKat fans insist that their ship is not only valid but also the most interesting and meaningful one in the story. In this essay, I will explore the reasons why Dave and Karkat make the best Homestuck couple, based on their character traits, plot arcs, interactions, and symbolism, and how their relationship embodies some of the core themes and messages of Homestuck as a whole.

First of all, let's examine the personalities of Dave and Karkat, and how they complement each other. Dave is a cool and ironic dude, who often hides his emotions behind a facade of sarcasm and detachment, but who also struggles with deep insecurities and unresolved trauma from his upbringing. He is an accomplished rapper, a skilled animator, and a dedicated friend, but he also tends to push people away, both physically and emotionally, and to doubt his own worth and purpose in life. Karkat, on the other hand, is a hot-headed and passionate troll, who speaks his mind candidly and sometimes aggressively, especially when he feels challenged or insulted. He is a natural leader, a strategic thinker, and a loyal ally, but he also tends to overreact, overanalyze, and overcompensate for his own perceived weaknesses and failures. Together, Dave and Karkat balance each other out, offering each other support, challenges, and perspectives that they would not have on their own.

For instance, Dave helps Karkat to loosen up and to appreciate the beauty and creativity of human culture, which he often dismisses as frivolous or inferior. Dave's love for music, fashion, and irony inspires Karkat to explore the human language, fashion, and humor, and to express his own feelings more openly and creatively. Dave also understands Karkat's need for validation and recognition, and often complements or follows up his rants and plans with subtle gestures of affection or admiration, such as nicknames, compliments, or ironic references. Karkat, in turn, challenges Dave to confront his demons, to share his feelings more honestly, and to pursue his dreams with more confidence and courage. Karkat's blunt criticism, tough love, and honest confessions make Dave feel seen, heard, and valued, and encourage him to open up his heart and soul to Karkat, and to trust in their bond despite the odds and obstacles they face.

Another reason why Dave and Karkat make the best Homestuck couple is their plot arcs, which intertwine and reflect each other in various ways. Dave's quest involves time travel, identity crisis, and self-discovery, as he tries to find a way to prevent his doomed timeline self from succumbing to his own ego and despair, and to overcome his fear of failure and mortality. Karkat's quest involves leadership, loyalty, and acceptance, as he tries to unite his fellow blood caste trolls against their corrupt society, and to reconcile his own role as a mutant blood and a descendant of both the betrayer and the sufferer. Both quests involve themes of legacy, destiny, and choice, as well as the consequences of one's actions and decisions. Both quests also involve past and future versions of themselves, and how they relate to them, either as mentors or rivals, inspirations or warnings, reflections or projections of their own potential and pitfalls.

Their interactions throughout Homestuck are also memorable and iconic, ranging from hilarious memes to heartwarming moments of tenderness and vulnerability. Dave and Karkat's conversations often revolve around their shared interest in music, fashion, memes, and movies, which they analyze, deconstruct, and remix in creative and amusing ways. Dave and Karkat also tease and roast each other, often in a flirty or affectionate manner, which shows their mutual respect and trust, and their willingness to push each other's buttons without causing harm. Dave and Karkat also share intimate moments of physical closeness, such as hugging, cuddling, or sleeping together, which demonstrate their comfort and familiarity with each other's presence and body, and their affectionate nature despite their tough exteriors.

Finally, Dave and Karkat represent some of the core themes and messages of Homestuck, such as inclusivity, diversity, and agency. Homestuck features a large, diverse cast of characters, who come from different cultures, species, genders, and orientations, and who navigate their own challenges and choices on their quest to save the universe. Homestuck also challenges the notion of a predetermined fate, and celebrates the power of choice and creativity, as the characters invent and reinvent their paths and identities, and shape their own destiny in ways that surprise and inspire each other. Dave and Karkat embody these themes in their own ways, as they challenge and complement each other's expectations and stereotypes, and as they find solace and joy in each other's company and support. Dave and Karkat also embody the queer subtext and potential of Homestuck, as their relationship defies gender norms and expectations, and as their feelings for each other blur the lines between friendship and romance, irony and sincerity, masculine and feminine, human and troll.

In conclusion, Dave Strider and Karkat Vantas make the best Homestuck couple, because of the way they complement and challenge each other, the way their plot arcs intertwine and reflect each other, the way their interactions are memorable and iconic, and the way they embody the core themes and messages of Homestuck as a whole. While other pairings may have their own merits and nuances, DaveKat stands out as a ship that captures the essence and appeal of Homestuck as a story of friendship, creativity, inclusivity, and choice. Dave and Karkat may not have a happily ever after, or a canon confirmation of their romantic relationship, but they have something more precious and enduring: a bond that transcends genre, media, and fandom, and that evokes the joy and wonder of discovering someone who gets you, challenges you, and inspires you to be a better version of yourself.

Romantic, of course! (For your last question w/ karkat, it's my request 😊)

~🦀

Sorry it's so short I couldn't really come up with alot for it, hope you enjoy and sorry for any spelling errors

((WARNINGS: fluff!!! ))

-You had finally talked karkat into watching the stars with you.

-At first, he refused but after some affection and puppy dog eyes, he gave but not without complaining.

-You spent the day getting everything packed, picking out some blankets, and packing a small picnic and even a portable charger for your phone for music.

-Once you got there and he reluctantly helped you set it up.

-Would be awkward and grumpy at first but once he saw the way your eyes lit up with the stars he would fall in love all over again.

-He would probably spend the whole night watching you with a goofy love-struck smile.

-Don't let him know you see him cause he would deny it.

-Would probably become sleepy and fall asleep holding your hand.

Looking up you watched as a shooting star shot out across the sky, getting excited you look over at karkat hoping he saw only to see his eyes closed with a soft smile on his face, smiling to yourself you leaned over and kissed his forehead before snuggling closer figuring you can spend a few minutes cuddling before waking him up to head home.
