Agent Lefty [The art is lava]

First request is done! askequestriasdj asked for some Dave/John. (You guys know I love ponies too, right? Because I do. I freaking love ponies.) …I got a little bit carried away.

Headcanon time! I figure Dave is actually a really bad dancer because he’s too worried about looking stupid, so he’s all stiff and self-conscious. At parties where there’s dancing he just hangs around making snarky comments about the DJ and claims he’s not dancing because the beats aren’t sick enough for his sweet moves.

John knows Dave really likes music, so he tries to get him to dance a lot. John doesn’t notice Dave is terrible because, well, John isn’t known for being super observant. John is actually a really good dancer because in his Dad’s quest to get him to grow up and be a True Gentleman he made John go through cotillion. (John ruined the experience by tricking his date with a water-spraying flower at the ball. His dad was still proud.)

…Why do I have headcanons like this for things I don’t even ship? NO CLUE. They just happen.

(The music score in the background is for Harlequin and I got it from here.)

I’m so happy this is a thing that happened. (Whoever drew John, you’re awesome!)

(Full view here because Tumblr shrunk it pretty badly)

The third picture for my random shipping challenge. This time, Vriska <3< John. Drawing this kind of broke my heart a little, since Vriska <3 John is my OTP.Still, I said I’d find a way to justify every random ship I rolled, so here goes:

The only way I could see this happening is that Vriska slips up and does something pretty heinous to someone John’s close to (like one of the other kids or Karkat or someone). John gets upset at her, and since Vriska’s so used to John being understanding of her past mistakes, she feels like he’s betrayed her by getting angry. Because she now feels like she’s lost his love, she overreacts and decides to earn his hate. Unfortunately, John doesn’t really get blackrom and they end up just fighting all the time in a one-sided kismesissitude.

Yes, those are Dave’s glasses she’s wearing.

Guess what I’m doing again tonight?

…I really don’t like doing “Suddenly, it’s Homestuck!” replies, but this was really all I could think of when I saw the prompt. So have a badly drawn John!
