[ there's a variety of them. some are callbacks to comics and jokes he's done before. some aren't. there's a weird aborted arc on peaches the dog and his adventures? like a spin off. a lot of them are dave's more usual take on humor. a worrying handful are the darker and harder to understand version of it, death and frustration in slightly disturbing comic form. some are crude.

it's apparent there are a lot, though. it's what he does when he can't sleep and has nothing else to clean. ]

[windeity]

[...that's definitely worrying. He doesn't quite pick up on what's going on here and he doesn't at all think of what the source of the original dark brand of humor is, but he has a thoughtful little look as he continues reading.]

How long have you been working on these?

[parodeity]

Since I discovered we had access to ms paint?

[windeity]

[So. Weeks.]

Cool. [Hrm.] Too bad the internet doesn't exist anymore. You could probably gain a new following here somehow.

[parodeity]

Oh, Okuyasu said he'd be my number one fan.

[windeity]

Of course he did. Are you the one who taught him the S thing?

[parodeity]

Nah, he taught himself that as far as I know?

[windeity]

Somehow that makes it even worse. [Click-scroll.] Have you shown anyone else?

[parodeity]

No. I don't usually like people handling my shit. For one thing, the one time I let someone touch that they posted a dumb comment in my name?

[windeity]

Wait what? When?

[parodeity]

Eh, day one or so. He used punctuation and a smiley face.

[windeity]

Neither of which I have seen you use in the course of our friendship. It's like they didn't even try.

[parodeity]

He didn't know me then.

[windeity]

Does he now?

[parodeity]

Not half as well as he thinks he does, nah.

[windeity]

Who was this anyway?

[parodeity]

Ryoji, first time I met him.

[windeity]

Oh. That's different, Ryoji's like one of the most cheerful and well-meaning people I've met. I am suddenly no longer surprised.

[parodeity]

Yeah, well. You done looking? [ at the comics he means ]

[windeity]

Oh, yeah, sorry. [He hands the laptop over but he doesn't move otherwise.] I've read all of them, so it made sense to catch up.

[parodeity]

False. You totally missed out on a few things while I was on the meteor?

[ he just settles the laptop back on his chest. ]

[windeity]

You should tell me about those then. I think I missed out on a lot while you guys were on the meteor.

[parodeity]

You honestly missed a ton of dumb bullshit. [ like karkat trying to schedule? a dating system? ] But yeah, I can try to catch you up. Since my own electronics with anything on 'em are officially dead as a bunch of disappointing doornails.

[windeity]

Tell me about it? [He suddenly perches on the top of the armchair like a shitty overgrown vulture but he's not exactly sitting. He's floating, mostly, and he's facing Dave with a look of sheer excitement.]

Tell me more about the meteor and I can tell you about the ship. We didn't get to catch up a lot when you guys crashlanded that first time. [After John aggressively ironed his pants, before John fucked around with time enough everyone got confused.]

[parodeity]

I mean... [ there were some hilarious hijinks inbetween romance shit and rose and terezi getting super fucking drunk on alcohol and soda respectively. ]

I spent most of my time with my best bro, the Mayor? And some with Vantas towards the end there.
