Lots of people on my dash are really happy about davekat, and I do not want to rain on anyone’s good cheer but as it stands right now in canon, it makes me uncomfortable for a reason that makes me glad it’s *not* my ship.

For the songs, Sleepy Head-Passion pit for Jade or all 4 kids
I love that John and Dave’s friendship is just the endless cycle of light hearted smack downs that inevitably hit a sore spot which turns into more sincere smack downs while painstakingly trying to hide the butthurt and waking up the next morning with literally no recollection of either of them ever getting their feelings hurt.
A day to day convo between Dave and John:
John: “Haha turd.”
Dave: “hows it feel to be the del taco king burrito of turds”
John: “How’s it feel to be annoying?”
And then Dave’s emotional state becomes the JohnMulaney”NO! THATS THE THING IM SENSITIVE ABOUT”.gif and he goes into a nonchalant 20 minutes convo about how bad at coding John is.

JOHN: i can’t believe i accidentally turned you gay!
DAVE: no thats not
DAVE: how it works thats not how anything works
JOHN: so….. did you kiss karkat?
DAVE: thats not
DAVE: um
JOHN: because that is what i would do if i accidentally turned *myself* gay with timey-wimey shenanigans.
JOHN: oh well! maybe next time.
DAVE: i
DAVE: okay im starting to think raw force of ramble just isnt gonna be enough to propel us over this conversation
DAVE: maybe we need to park the topic carefully on the side of awkward mountain and come back for it after loading up the xkcd ideas to simple words translator
JOHN: …how would you know about that?
DAVE: how would I know about all sorts of future junk
DAVE: pls lets not add to the stupid question pile, its wobbling like the french alps during avalanche season after those last brain nuggets you tossed up there
DAVE: im frightened
Imagine if Dave ever found out that technically (very technically) he and Jade are cousins.
I am sure that would go over well with all his issues.
EDIT: No wait, is Jade, Dave’s aunt? Damn the family tree is so confusing I confused myself.
dave and jade arent related
Hussie has implied + concept art from Hiveswap suggests that Grandpa Jake adopted Mom Roxy.
Dave is her son.
If Grandpa Jake is Mom Roxy’s adoptive father that means he is also Dave’s adoptive grandfather.
Then it gets tricky with Jade, she is his biological daughter but adoptive granddaughter. This means Mom Roxy can be either be said to be Jade’s sister or Jade’s aunt.
If you go with sister than Jade is Dave’s aunt. If you go with aunt than Jade is Dave’s cousin.
I said it was really technical.
