    Summary

    See, the thing is, you weren’t born when John ectobiologized you into being, you weren’t born when your meteor crashed down to Earth, and you weren’t born when Bro gifted you your first pair of shades and dubbed you Dave Strider.

    No, you were born standing on top of a Houston high-rise at six years old. You were born the first time you held a sword.

    You were born holding a sword, and you’re going to die the same way.

    (or: Dave, swords, and the role they’ve played in his life.)

    SO GOOD. veryyyy good look into dave and his childhood. giving glimpses of shitty things but still feeling like we are only seeing bits and pieces. very well done has definitely had a big influence on how i see dave as a character.

    Summary

    Maybe it was the lack of his shades, the lack of his stupid beat-up baseball cap, the lack of the permanent frown etched into his face every waking moment of the day, but you’d always be hit with some weird, intangible feeling in the center of your chest, the sudden realization that, when he was out cold like this, he looked small.

    Young. Fragile, almost.

    Human.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    might be my favorite exploration of dave ever. gives a very good (yet still subtle and tasteful) look into his trauma (particularly elements people don't explore as much). all of twinprimes' work is amazing and i think this is the best.
