Davepetasprite^2 is the combination of Dave Strider and Jake English's sprites in Homestuck's post-retcon timeline, the result of Jake's sprite being prototyped once with Nepeta Leijon's remains and then a second time with Davesprite.

Concept and creation[]

Davepetasprite^2's creation was possibly foreshadowed as early as Act 3, when Dave discussed his catlike fursona Akwete PurrmuskHS. Their combination of feline and avian features and antagonistic relationship with Lord English could also be seen as alluding to the Ancient Egyptian solar deities Bastet and Ra, who did eternal battle with the snake demon Apep. Caliborn similarly foreshadows his rivalry with Davepetasprite^2 by voicing his opinion that ORANGE AND EMERALD. [are] uNPLEASANT TOGETHER.HS - perhaps uncoincidentally also the two main colors of certain gourds.

Though neither of their components were wearing dream pajamas at the time of prototyping, Davepetasprite^2's outfit incorporates elements of Nepeta's pajamas, including a combination of Dave's Time symbol and Nepeta's crescent Derse symbol on their chest - an oddity they share with fellow sprite^2 Jasprosesprite^2. This may have something to do with the fact that dream selves, like the Ultimate Self, share a connection with all iterations of a person.HS

Biography[]

After Jasprosesprite^2 createsHS NepetaspriteHS, she is prototyped a second time - or seemingly "prototyped^2" - via unsuspecting handshake with Davesprite.HS They subsequently introduce themselves with an iconic sound effectHS and a similarly iconicHS catchphrase with a new feline twist.HS

Jasprosesprite^2 is understandably distraught in the fusion of a prospective romantic partner with her brother. After calming her down, Davepeta suggests they simply talk for a while, and help each other GET ourselvesHS while they finish their tea party. Jasprose agrees, and their conversation eventually ends when Davepeta flies off to the Land of Tombs and Krypton to catch up with Arquiusprite.HS

After a truly epic bro hug bump, Davepeta then flies to the dream bubbles to visit a sleeping Jade Harley. After sharing thoughts about alternate selves, Davepeta kisses her, then wakes her by stabbing her with their claws.HS

During the hectic events of Collide, Davepeta challenges Lord English, and even momentarily gets the better of him. Despite a determined effort, however, English predictably comes out victorious.

Personality and traits[]

Davepetasprite^2 is initially confused about their gender when talking to Jasprosesprite^2, but quickly defaults to gender neutral pronouns (specifically, they/them). Like Jasprose, Davepeta possesses memories from Daves and Nepetas that were not components of the sprite, and clarifies how this works - while all of the versions of the characters are "accessible" to the sprite, the specific ones who were physically prototyped feel like the "main" ones.

Davepeta is incredibly optimistic and jittery. They enjoy entry-level irony quite a bit, considering the Nepeta half of them never experienced it before, and they are very, very friendly. They also have a fondness for roleplaying, and will jump through many linguistic hoops to squeeze a joke into their roleplay.

Skills and abilities[]

Understuck battle

Davepeta's Undertale-styled battle with Lord English in Collide.

Like other sprites, Davepetasprite^2 can fly. In Strife, they suitably have 33 HP, and employ Nepeta's clawkind specibus.

In the same manner of the protagonists of the Undertale series, Davepeta can also enter combat represented by a heart, or SOUL.

Relationships[]

Jasprosesprite^2[]

Jasprose is Davepeta's sibling, in a sense, and they support each other through the unique experience of being the only sprite^2s. Nepeta, not understanding the concept of incest, is fine with the idea of dating her, but it creeps Dave way out.

Arquiusprite[]

As one of his halves was once Nepeta's moirail, Arquiusprite is Davepetasprite^2's ex. Conflictingly, he is also their bro,HS as Arquiusprite's other half is an artificially intelligent copy of Dave's bro Dirk.

Jade Harley[]

Davepeta meets up with Jade shortly after she speaks with Alternate Calliope. They then tell Jade that she should wake up, and kiss herHS to say goodbyeHS, before stabbing her to wake her upHS.

Karkat Vantas[]

In regards to Nepeta's previous attraction to Karkat, Davepetasprite^2 claims that they dont even f33l conflicted about that???HS as much as they might have expected to, and that it sorta f33ls right still. This likely implies that Davesprite harbored or was willing to consider some sort of attraction to Karkat as well, given the frequentHS hintsHS at mutual interest between Dave and Karkat.

Trivia[]

  • Andrew Hussie started a selfie campaign for people on the internet to take selfies with this pictureHS of Arquius and Davepeta hugging saying that, quote, 'I will delete this fucking website. If I don't see enough selfies out there, I will scrub Homestuck from the Akashic Servers and never speak its name again.', unquote. So, of course, it was incredibly successful, and you will still be able to see the evidence if you type it into a search engine.[citation needed]
