More of a character rant board than anything, really.

I hate how the epilogues and HS2 did Jane so dirty. They reduced her character by so much, which I know it was largely written by fans, but that doesn't mean that I don't hate it.I have mixed opinions on DaveKat as a ship because of how people seem to treat it nowadays. While some of the fic that is centered around the ship is incredibly good, I feel that Dave wouldn't particularly be interested in that sort of stuff. His whole thing is that he's a fucked up teen, and I feel he'd need to do a great deal of coping before he comes to the point to try a relationship with anyone.
Something else I don't like is how people often do a 'pair the spares' sort of thing with John and Jade (Not to each other obviously.) They do both of them so dirty, and the fact that I can never find solid Jade ships sucks a lot, because I love her character and I hate how both Homestuck and the fandom largely dismissed her, as well as many other female characters in the cast, like Feferi.
Don't get me wrong, I like the notion of Javepeta/Javesprite, but I feel like a lot of people only ship it because it's an extras thing. Yeeouch.
Agreed! Besides, Davekat isn't even the better of the Dave pairings. Back to Jade, though. If you need a good pairing, maybe pale Jadequius? Pale Dirkjade? In this scenario I imagine Dirk and Equius to be more like hatefriends, but either would be cute with Jade due to their general knowledge regarding technology or experiences with robots.
For goddamn real. I fully believe that Jade and Dirk would be FANTASTIC friends, and I'm disappointed that people don't take more advantage of how their characters would interact. I think that Jade's personality would mix nicely with Dirk's, and that she wouldn't put up with his shit.
Also as for Jadequius, interesting.. I've never considered that. Maybe the three of them would be excellent friends, with robots and whatnot. Hell yeah.
. There needs to be more of this, maybe I could write/come up with something that involves all of those people interacting outside of the 'oh everyone stays with their preferred One Person and like maybe their family.' Like where is my interactions between, let's say, Dirk and John. I think they'd get along like a house on fire.
