With the return of Nepeta, it seems apparent to me that we will also be getting an Equius revival. If this is the case, I see no world where he and Karkat don't fight for Dave's love, a parallel of his skirmish with Sollux for the hand of Aradia. I believe, to show his growth and progression since then, he is all but guaranteed to win over Dave. After this, user DaveKat Sucks can finally shed a celebratory tear as yaoislop is replaced with yaoigem.
