im just gonna translate my monolog from 2020 TW Epilogue spoilers
and also didn't read Homestuck 2 at all
This character did not immediately hit my heart right away I say.I started to like him somewhere at the end of act 5.And how? Just started looking for artwork.And yes, I usually realize that I like the character when I look at my gallery, and there +200 artwork with only 1 character.Anyway-
Davesprite has been awesome since his first appearance,he came back to life and sacrificed himself (which won't be the last time😋😋) to save the timeline.To save his friend John and probably Dave's(his)ass too, but why not. We're all selfish and some want to live.
And now I'm reading the meat epilogue and I'm sad but at the same time I'm glad that Hussie didn't make this character something bad but even more so.He made him a hero to the universe and a hero to John (again).He saw that the situation was beyond saving so he just took English and carried him with all his strength into the black hole.And before he did that he literally put his hand in English's mouth to save John and didn't just sit there. in case anyone wasn't paying attention, but their relationship wasn't the best at the moment.Still he willing will sacrifice himself for persons he cares about.
Davesprite was a depressing character, but he didn't complain a lot or that wasn't like the major part that could make him not dimensional character.He made jokes about it for coping,like he was a defective Dave from the store, etc.
To be honest I would be depressed too if I knew my friends/loved ones were dying and there was nothing I could do+ they're fucking teenagers which is even more fucked up.I guess that's why I see him as a more “alive” character and it's easier for me to empathize with him.
Also+ depressed factor is the people around him was kinda..make him feel as a nothing.Like he couldn't find his place again so I'm happy he started to be better with Nepeta.
