insane crossover give me more

dredge + erisol

one more for tonight

have some garbage i guess

dave doesn't like acknowledging things. if you acknowledge something that makes it true, so if he never acknowledges it its not true. simple, really.

if he never acknowledges bro's abuse as abuse, it's not abuse. It's just ironic play and cool hobbies and totally normal older brother stuff.

and he never acknowledged that little crush on john, and then it went away, so obviously that only cements his previous hypothesis that if he ignores things, they go away, and they aren't real.

then, he comes face to face with karkat and dirk.

dirk, who has the face of the man who exists solely in his nightmares. whose voice sends slight shivers down his spine. he half expects to see his face with a blade against his throat in the reflection of the boys sharp glasses.

karkat, who yells and is loud and is brash and somehow sets his heart on fire with every screech and pointed glare. who genuinely listens to his rambles, even if he calls him a "blundering moron" after. he listens.

and suddenly, dave cant go about life not acknowledging things. he sees the brotherly relationship he couldve had in dirk, and he knows he wants it.

suddenly, he cant ignore the feelings of romance that he'd convinced himself were wrong. john was an idea, karkat is real and in front of him, and he knows he wants it.

he knows he wants it. he's acknowledged he wants it, and now it's real. it's real and true and. and it's the truth. and that's the worst part.

your nepeta art fills me with rage

that was my intention, actually.

JJJ's reputation has been tarnished and I will not stand for it.

This is the same man who punched out two (count em, 2) different white supremacists, who stood in front of a group of racists and called them wastes of time to their faces. He ordered a politician backed by the KKK to get out of his office. If this man actually ran a podcast, it'd be Civil Rights advocacy.

He hates Spidey because he hates the idea of masked vigilantes, beings who are above the law, who can't be documented. Who can do what they want with no consequences, despite the potential harm of innocent civilians.

In the Ultimates comics, this man gave multiple speeches about how he was wrong about Spider-Man. He describes how during the Ultimatum Wave, he watched Spidey dive in and out to save people and realized how wrong he was, saw in his own words what a real hero looked. And he started writing that BEFORE he learned Spidey had "died".

On Earth 65, he leads the charge against Gwen not because he just hates those Masked Menaces so much but because she was thought guilty of the murder of Peter Parker. He didn't even know the Parkers, but he still cared about the lives of every single stranger he came into contact with (hence why he became mayor).

He risks being murdered all the time to get the truth out. He's faced down masked supervillains and told them to fuck off. This is the same man who hired a 15 year old boy (not just bought photos from, hired) because he recently lost everything. In multiple universes, when he learns who Spidey is he starts helping him.

Making him an Alex Jones parody is funny for like two minutes, but it ultimately takes away from the depth in his character and kinda takes away from the Spidey story altogether.

I refuse to put any more time or thought into this

i think dave strider smokes. not because he likes it, persay, but because he thinks thats just what people do.

i imagine he smoked his first cigarette on the roof with bro after one of their fights. probably when he was way to young, maybe 10?

bro just sat on the edge of the building and started smoking, wordlessly offered one to the kid he just beat the shit out of.

dave, wanting to be like him and not wanting to be seen as weak, took it and did his best to copy him. he nearly coughed a lung up the very first time.

after that, after every fight, bro would leave him on the roof bleeding. but there would always be a lone cigarette and a lighter waiting for him near the ledge.

he never told anyone, but rose walked in on him painstakingly trying to alchemize a pack when they were on the meteor once. she never mentioned it, thats just what people do.

once, karkat found him on the roof smoking, sunglasses pushed up as his eyes traced the endless starry sky above them. wordlessly, he offered the troll one.

they smoke on the roof together sometimes. its just what people do. what they do. even if they were upset with each other. they never talked about it though.

dirk found him once, smoking and silently crying. they shared a cigarette, quietly, wordlessly. they found comfort in each other.

halfway brothers, leaning against each other as the puffs of smoke sank into their clothes. neither said anything, they both had a feeling that thats just what people do.

the smell of smoke still brings about feelings of comfort to him. he never explained that to anyone, though, mostly because no one asked.

its just one of those things. its just what people do.
