re: Dave, yeah, absolutely. i think definitely when you start reading the comic, you just think he's a funny over-the-top stereotype of the dude who's too cool to care, but over time, as more and more terrible shit happens to them, it becomes really hard not to read his indifference as just plain exhaustion.
and ARADIA also yeah! going back, every single conversation she has with sollux is just unbearably sad.
i love that you spell it all out haha, because i really haven't been able to do that for myself previous to now! i would just inexplicably burst into tears (when aradia comes back to life? cried like a baby! lol... and ditto when jade makes jadesprite and it's just like ten pages of inconsolable crying) and then wonder why.
