#how tf did i not not the ship name DAVE

[ineffablejaymee]

sometimes family is a succesfull woman and her green flag husband co-parenting her lame ex and his alien parasite boyfriend

[noahtally-famous]

I remember how I had a very minor, barely-there jaskaveawn (or whatever tf their ship name is) fic idea that’s like a ‘fresh start’ trope with the absolute slowest of slow burns and it’s these four coming across each other post-tdpi. and it came abt bc I randomly imagined dave in one of those hairstyles where his sides are shaved or one side is, and the hair at the top (and maybe the other side) just flops together on that side. like punk vibes dave who stops giving a shit and is just tired now. this man def had an emo phase, I bet, and I’ve no doubt he would adopt the punk style (at least the general looks) if motivated

but abt the fic idea...

dave was rescued from the island due to lawsuits and his family’s influence, but everyone else assumed he was a goner and that niggling bit of guilt/regret is still there in the rest of the three (bc y’know they’re all good ppl who do have some form of connection with him, despite it all). then sometime later there’s a confrontation at a bar between dave and keith—who fucking hates his guts after the finale—and somehow dave ends up from being in an alley, close to hyperventilating bc of how grimy it is, to waking up with a hangover in jashawn’s apartment/house, and he ends up staying there, temporary at first but it stretches as time passes bc he’s drifting around with no tether; he's lost physically and metaphorically, and while he doesn't want to ever see the three ppl who, in his eyes, took part in making him this way, there is a smaller part (that grows with every interaction) that yearns for it, the touch, the acceptance, the grounding support of normalcy; he craves it but he, too, is filled with regret and shame--especially when he sees sky for the first time since the incident, and finds out that she, jasmine, and shawn still keep in touch. he feels out-of-the-loop, but he also feels he deserves it. what he did went against his believes of normalcy and he hates himself for reacting so 'abnormally extreme'. and then there's sky who doesn't know how she feels anymore so she suppresses it and honestly doesn't want to see dave and that doesn't change drastically until much later; then there's jasmine who takes sky's side more but is partially willing to hear dave out, and shawn, who's more or less the opposite (leans toward dave's side, but also sky's bc he gets both sides) like he's also stuck at the center of all this bc dave did inadvertently try to kill him too in his spite--but with all four of them in the same apartment, things get a little...well, something starts to grow. (plus there are some more keith cameos here and there that bolster that growth, though I'm sure he doesn't mean it to lmao). overall the fic touches upon the idea that every character is capable of growing and redemption, the concept of perception, how they live post-td with former competitors, but also the utter angst and panic and misunderstandings, and yeah. in my head, it’s a rollercoaster and I’ve these random scenes mapped out that I’ve no idea how to connect lmao

[testifytime2-blog]

hey i really love your blog and i'm kinda wondering, what was with you being against art being tagged dav/eka/t when you expected it to be joh/nda/ve?

Okay so, short answer? I’m not a great fan of dav/eka/t. 

Long answer? When I got into the fandom, I like, really got attached to some meta I saw. A lot of it was based around Dave’s pretty obvious feelings for John, and brought up one of my absolute favourite tropes of all time: the friend who’s been quietly in love with them all along, who gives everything for them and kinda expects nothing but the friendship back, and eventually ends up with them in the end as some sort of realisation that, hey, you’ve been here the whole time and I’d be lost without you. It’s so fucking romantic to me, okay, and just. The way they bounce off of and foil each other gets me, like, Dave did so fucking much for John, and once you get past that stupid amount of “I’m not a homosexual” (yes John we know, you’re bi, honey, get with the picture), and get them in a relationship, I just. I love the dynamic. John learns shit and becomes a Better Person(TM) and Dave stops hiding stuff from him cus he thinks he needs to be this persona for John’s sake, or because he thinks John expects shit of him that maybe aren’t true. You end up having two teenage boys in love, who’ve grown up kinda together and just. Are happy, you know? I love every fanfic I read of it, even the ones where sad shit happens, cus somehow it always works out. It’s just a lot of tropes, basically, and they’re tropes that always hit me right in the chest (for more examples: see the fact that I ship Koujaku and Aoba from DMMD for the same reason) but a little bit more, I was allowed to get into the ship on my own. I saw a few bits of fanart, looked up the fanfiction, got into it at my own pace and genuinely enjoyed it.

When it comes to dav/eka/t, though... Well, firstly, I don’t understand the appeal..? A lot of that can be written down to the fact that I’ve not read the entire comic; the last I knew of their relationship on the meteor, it was pre-retcon, and they barely got on. While I guess I could ship that black, I generally need some form of... attraction? To get me to ship a thing? To me, Dave and the Karkles don’t seem to fit unless they have a barrier to get them both to chill tf out (usually either John or Jade in my ships) - it’s just one of those weird things. I can’t enjoy shipping them singularly, and a lot of that is cus I only saw meta posts explaining it after this next thing, by which point I was put off the ship entirely and wrote off everything I read.A lot of this can be put down to what I mentioned before. Remember the emphasis on “I was allowed to get into the ship on my own”? Yeah, I got more into the fandom just about when dav/eka/t became canon. So instead of being able to figure out why people like the ship, the good parts of it, the ways it worked, etc... I got a bunch of people violently declaring all other ships were invalidated and you couldn’t ship them because of this canon thing, saw a horrendous amount of drama and discourse over it, and just. Got completely turned off the ship. I mean, the amount of “you’re homophobic if you don’t ship it” posts I saw blew my goddamn mind. I never got a chance to like, tiptoe into it, and so I just vehemently hate the ship. Questionably, I don’t even dislike it as a ship, I just dislike the fandom around it and the way I got introduced to it. I just have a lot of Bad Vibes from it, and I’m pretty sure I’m never really gonna enjoy it because of that. It’s part of the same reason I’m not a huge fan of ros/ema/ry. There was, again, the whole “if you don’t ship it you’re wrong” feel to it, and instead of getting into it in my own time, I had people aggressively shoving it down my throat. It’s maybe stupid, but I can’t enjoy a ship if I get introduced to it that way. It gets my back up and I just deny it completely (also case in point: I can’t stand Ge/rI/ta in the He/ta/li/a fandom cus of this). 

Arguably another part of it is just. I hate troll/human ships. Why? Because Hussie fucked up troll/troll and human/human ships and that pisses me off. At least the not-straight ones. Like, case in point, right? Hor/ruf/io/h (prolly no the ship name but I’m gonna go with it) and dir/kja/ke. We’re introduced to them as they’re deteriorating, where Ruf’s done gone and cheated already on one person, and is maybe gonna cheat on another; Dirk and Jake were just fucking awful for each other, both wearing down the other until they eventually split in one of the worst ways possible - and that just. Really ruffled my feathers? So. Okay gay ships only work if they’re cross-species? I guess? Good to know. I guess two guys dating is completely unimaginable unless one of them’s an alien. Cool. It really fucked me up when I read it when I was younger, and I’ve been highkey salty about it ever since. Dav/eka/t being made canon on top of all that? And all the troll/troll and human/human not-straight ships (you know the ones) being left vague at best? Fucking frustrating. Again, maybe a bit stupid, but it really gets my back up just. How it was handled in general and the sort of vibe it gives across.

So, to answer as a like, tldr of “why was I against art being tagged as dav/eka/t when I expected it to be joh/nda/ve?” I just really, vehemently dislike the former as a ship for many, many reasons, whereas I love the latter for many more. And I’m the kind of person who reacts really strongly to disappointment when I’m on a happy high - so finding what I thought was my fav ship, only for it to be one I really don’t care much for? Serious drop and complete frustration (esp. since it was human!Kark, so when I saw it, I didn’t even think twice about it maybe being him rather than John - it was only just as I was gonna reblog it that I saw the tag, and I felt Betrayed(TM) )
