Everyone's talking about how Davesprite looks like the sassy gay friend while I'm sitting here thinking about how much Davesprite probably messed with Dave, I mean c'mon do you really think Davesprite is going to not mess with Dave? He probably gives Dave wrong directions all the time and like, a hour later, says "Was it the right instead of the left?" just to fucking mess with him.
It looks to me more like Davesprite broke one of his wings before and even though it's healed by now, he is still trying to making Dave carry him around. Davesprite: "C'mon, it's just a couple miles ahead." Dave: "Ya know what? No. Just... just no. I've had enough of this, you can crawl there for all I care." Dave: *drops Davesprite and walks away* Davesprite: "........He lasted longer than I thought he would."
The thing about this song is that whenever it starts to get more chill, and slower/laid-back, it immediately gets faster again as if Davesprite doesn't want to seem vulnerable.
Am I the only one who think this song just seem to be a happy one, but is actually very sad? I mean, we're talking about Davesprite who everyone forgets about, and he was Dave, the 13 year coolkid who would never show any kind of weakness to his friends because he was "too cool" for it. I think this song may be like, telling his story in a "i dont give a fuck" way? I don't know, it is probably just me.
Wait people hate Davesprite? Why??? *spoilers* Ok, for one he's just a bird and dave, which also makes him even funnier, and He's actually a really sympathetic character. Other characters see him as lesser than the 'real' dave and he never wanted anything more than to help dave(or I guess himself) and then be with his friends, but everyone alienated him and some even hated him. He grows noticeably depressed about this and actually leaves everyone at one point because he's tired. Tired of stress and tired of being disrespected. Some characters would do more than just passively leaves, but that's all he does. I think he's a great character.
edit more spoilers: just read more into act 6, he comes back but only because he knew alot of important things were happening and didn't want to not even be a part of those events but who can blame him for that?
+Alex Egbert I would do that and a jake english and vriska appreciation day. There actually is a website that defends hated characters in fandoms btw : fyeahcontroversialcharacters.tumblr.com/tags
I'm a little late, but nobody should be going into the comments of Homestuck videos before finishing the comic. Of course there's going to be spoilers because this is a discussion zone.
+hip indeed And yeah, before anyone says it, I know this's also a remix of Atomik Ebonpyre (actually took me a bit longer to realize than the sunslammer part... which itself is a remix of Sunsetter, I also realized, though I always think Sunslammer is the original since it was used in the comic... *cough cough*) which makes it even better still. The point is Sunslammer WAS my favorite song until this one, and even a year later it still definitely is. More Genesis soundchip/ FM Synth HS music please. Oh wait, the comic's almost over? Well in Hussie's next music-applicable project~
I... would force the other me to tell me the game's secrets since I can't keep them and then just leave. I'm sure I would be fine staying at home blowing up imps and chillin' til the me going on an adventure would need me. Both of us would be the hero in a way so I think it'd work out. Woo xP. This is all assuming that the other me brought his laptop with him if he were to travel to my time like Davesprite did. If not than we'd argue constantly over it XDD
My friend literally yelled "DAVESPRITE!" at a crow once just for the hell of it and it looked at her. then i proceeded to explain "Yes, that's hella cool, but you could probably yell anything at a crow and it would look at you, you could literally yell the most nonsensical thing you can think of and the crow will still look at you. You're just making noise and it wants to know why" but to us that crow is still now named Davesprite anyways cuz we dont rlly care
I KNOW. I love this song I totally love Davesprite and If I could I would literally hold him tight every single day and just. Davesprite is so under appreciated. He is awesome and so is this song.
everyone acts like this song is just funky and rad sounding, but i feel like they're totally missing its entire tone. yeah, the song is clearly meant to sound funky and befitting of a "coolkid" like any version of dave, the "rad 90s" genesis soundfont kinda drives it in, but there's just such an underlying tone of... _sadness_ to it. it just sounds almost despairing at bits, i can't put my finger on it, but parts like even the little bit where it "stops" at 0:21 and the entire atomyk ebonpyre bit at 0:43, as well as the ending just sound almost desperate or sad to me. and i think it fits the character who at first looks and acts like some cool, shade-wearing badass, but on the inside pretty much feels like nothing but a sad, shitty second-rate version of someone else, who has such immense self-loathing that they can't even stand to have people they love be around them because they just feel like they're giving them a disappointment when they deserve better. ...davesprite really does deserve all of the hugs, doesn't he?
this is pretty much exactly why this is, even after over a year of constantly listening to it, my favorite song both from homestuck and by toby fox himself. i'm a sucker for genesis-style music, for one, but having a song sound so "cool" yet also so bitter at the same time is something i honestly don't know if i can recount other instances of. it's like the audible personification of someone who wears some facade and acts as if they somehow think they're cool or smooth, but underneath, they're pretty much a sad, broken mess. i find that both _immensely_ relatable, far moreso now than when i first "fell in love" with the song, to the point where i honestly have grown to associate it with myself, and incredibly amazing that it conveys something like that, not only for being a unique thing for an instrumental song to do, but because it's so "different" to begin with. i know i might not have needed two comments for this, buuuuut adding more to the original comment kinda ruins the structure of it entirely. but this is kind of a song i've grown to love a lot, as what i just said probably makes abundantly clear, and i guess when it holds a "special place" to me it's hard not to ramble on about it.
(Wow, 1 year old comment :o) ) I mean, i'd be pretty sad too if the timeline I was in got fucked simply because I didn't have myself jump in a sprite and prevent a spider bitch from killing my best friend too...
I'm going to recall that old comment that said that this looked like a renaissance picture, with Davesprite being an angel that was sent to guide Dave.
ok so lemme get this straight one of the reasons dave went bacc in time was to warn John to not go to his denizen cuz he'll die but the other one was _fucking calsprite_
People are saying how this song seems happy but is secretly sad and I'm really confused because I think it just sounds awesome. It doesn't sound like any emotion. And yes I've read Homestuck. I read the whole thing, I wish it could keep going, and I fully plan to get the game when it comes out and play the hell out of it Really I'd be happy if there could be a new comic in the same universe, that'd be great. I love the universe that it takes place in.
when i see this picture i think Davesprite: yo man can you run down to the store and grab me some beer Dave: hey man, its 3 am, you smell like liquor, just go to bed
I remember seeing this video when I was first starting out reading homestuck (I only started recently), I thought Dave was gonna die and be turned into a sprite (my only experience with sprites was nannasprite, a dead person) and I was so scared. Seeing Davesprite appear and learning Dave didn’t die made me so relieved.
Vriska Serk8 back in 2011, every time i tried to type homework i typed homestuck. it was shameful and i felt bad about it. now i wish i could go back to those days ;-;
bro i fuckin' love homestuck ost. like, all tracks are good af. i litterally downloaded all of the albums on my phone so i can listen to those bangers all time.
Wouldn't it be cool to have future you as a first prototyping? Then you could fight a Dersite version of yourself as the Black King. And also you pretty much have clone you as a sprite.
"You don't just make a clone of yourself to live in a dead end existence where it has no chance to thrive as an individual or surpass its limitations. That'd be sick."
+NoCheeseForNess it plays in Openbound when you play as Dave. If you don't know what part that is, it's when you have to get Kanaya to guide you around in the meteor (I think it's the meteor at least. I can't remember.)
davesprite is literally my favorite hs character of all time, idk why theres just this charm to him, despite his tragic ways. He seems like a cool dude tho, id enjoy sitting and conversing with him tbh
+InterstellarTurtle Hussie didn't make any of the songs in his comic. This was made by the one and only, Toby Fox. Bet you've heard of him. (ps he made undertale)
i am trash for dave and davesprite dave: is awesome and probably faces alot of things but he doesnt because he too cool i mean wow davesprite: does not give two fucks about anything and its fun to mess with normal dave
First off, I’m late Second, this song makes my OTP davejade seem canon even though it’s not Third, I didn’t even know Davesprite was a hated character until I read the comments Davesprite is one of my favorite characters especially when he become Davepetasprite. I feel like him and Jade had unhappy endings. Though he never outright stated he had feelings for her (that I remember) he still showed affection towards Jade when he dated her during the three year travel period and then kissed her as a way of saying goodbye before waking her up. He probably knew he didn’t have a future with Jade which is probably one of the reasons or the very reason he left her in the first place. He did know, though, that she at least had a chance with the alpha Dave who he (again it isn’t stated but it’s very likely) compared himself to constantly. He did say Jade would be better off with Dave and he could make her happy. When Grimbark Jade reveals her feelings to Dave, he seems shocked that he broke her heart but upset when he finds out it was Davesprite. I think it’s because as much as he feels weird about the situation, Davesprite is still a version of him, one that actually was him in a doomed timeline but became a sprite. But as much as he wants the old Jade back (leaving a note for her saying he missed her), it is canon that he shares a relationship with Karkat. Some theorize that while Davekat is canon, Davejadekat is also canon but many have said it was not actually canon according to Hussie (creator of Homestuck). So both Jade and Dave(peta)sprite are alone in terms of a relationship, which is something I see as very sad. Jade became my favorite Homestuck character and Davejade my OTP but Davesprite came along and I quickly shipped that to be disappointed in the end. Sorry this was long, I just needed to get this out. I love this song and I love Homestuck but it gets heartbreaking so if you aren’t finished yet, prepare yourselves.
Description: SEVEN. HUNDRED. SUBS. Now: 11999 (Almost 12000) You have come far Lumi. Congrats, and thanks for all of these, which have provided me with hours of slightly more productive homework than had I had no music.
Davesprite is so fucking lucky (not entirely) because just imagine Davesprite flies over people or trolls, ones he loves in a cool bro like way others he hates. Person he hates: *talking* Davesprite: *shits on persons head* Caw caw motherfuckers
Comments: Davesprite looks like the sassy gay friend! Me: Davesprite (and Dave) look like Prussia. Also, the beginning reminded me of top - Stressed Out.
And then there's me, sitting there with my pokemon plushies and some AJ/pretzels, writing poetry, reading fanfics, drawing, and listening to this for an hour. What an exciting life.
