Yeah I agree with this. But also space/focus concerns could have played a part.
Sure, but the space/focus concerns in question were decided by Andrew Hussie. It is not like some weird accidental oversight occurred here.
Even pretending that Dave’s emotions were not among the biggest late homestuck focus points… If people are looking at the sprawling mass that the story became, even in the last few weeks, and their conclusion is that Hussie fully, definitely INTENDED to clear up the davekat question (in whatever direction), if only he’d had the space to add in a SINGLE EXTRA SENTENCE somewhere…. then I don’t know. I don’t know, man, I don’t know, I just don’t know.
I don’t know.
Here. ok. like. Shit, let’s be Hussie.
Karen AH: Alas! For my god-like authorial intent
was for Dave and Karkat to be unequivocally human romance dating (or
whatever), but I used up the last of my carefully rationed text
alphabet letters during the part where Dave goes on and on on Jane
Crocker’s sexual attractiveness while Karkat is also present.
Karen AH: Ah! Ah! Oh! This is most indeed news of a fair terribility, and there is not a thing that might be done to its repair….
