d is like reigen to me
dave strider in a relationship hcs
yeah i really have nothing better to do than analyze homestuck characters by my interpretation but i digress.
- so a relationship with dave is essentially just being pulled along for the ride that’s dave’s life like its just so casual on the surface it's unclear to people sometimes that it’s an established relationship but it is. that doesn't mean he is like relationship-y.
- he’s visibly happier and just is way happier around his partner and everyone kinda notices that.
- he’s subtle and it’s definitely the little things that show his care, dave’s definitely not the type for huge extravagant acts of love or obsession.
- he really just brushes shit off but his heart is still beating at 100mph
- this guy will freak out abt the little shit his partner does that gets his heart beating that they don't even notice
- not the type for PDA, definitely hates misunderstandings and jealousy. he thinks it's stupid and won’t even try if it was done purposely, definitely a turn-off if it was.
- it’s definitely more of the subtle things with dave, he also notices small things abt his partner that probably even his partner doesn’t notice.
- definitely just does or says shit for a reaction from his partner, it can be really stupid sometimes.
- he’s always willing to listen and learn. if someone genuinely offends something he’s passionate abt (like music or his comic) very much a turn-off.
- he soo craves affection but does not do ANYTHING to show that he wants it unless he’s comfortable. he thinks about it a lot though
- dave is in his thoughts like 100% of the time, he keeps shit to himself unless he blurts it which then leads to embarrassment
- doesn’t engage in the first move and if he does he rambles for like a paragraph trying to brush it off and make it seem like it isnt a big deal cause his hearts beating out of his ass and hes sweating and shaking and
- once he gets comfortable and alone with them dave’s more touchy with his partner only ever in private though
- he’ll act really casual about it too like its just the norm (which it is)
- only alone is dave ever gonna show he’s whipped (rose would catch him though)
- dave’s pretty assertive when it comes to shit he isn't cool with he's not afraid to stand up for himself or when someone just disrespects him he doesn't take kindly to that
- super supportive of whatever his partner’s passions are and just them in general
- his fav moments with his partner are when they laugh over stupid shit to the point of tears
- actually pretty flirty, he’s good at it too he's like playful abt it but when it gets serious he's like holdup. and needs time to process
- he just wanna be held but doesn't have the balls to say so
- dude is stiff, unless he’s comfortable then he eases into vulnerability
alpha dave as a single father except hes exactly the same n terrorizing the government just w a baby strapped on him
I’ve spent 413 night rewatching 4 hours worth of hs flashes and figured it’d be fun to try some panel redraws (technically the first one is from a flash not a panel but shh)
