Fave gay ship
So now that we can talk about gay ships without the straights talking over us, what's your favorite gay ship? Feel free to post on why also! Unconventional & poly ship love more than welcome, I can think of a few examples of my own, will probably write a reply about them later.
I tried to put all the most popular ones in there. If I forgot any let me know, I think I can add things post-post? (heh.)




Personally DaveKat struck a chord because at the time I was dealing with accepting my sexuality, and the conversation Dave had about internalized homophobia made me feel understood and helped me greatly. The way their relationship has made them become happier and better with themselves is just so lovely...
DaveKat because it's frankly disgustingly adorable like these two boys who were so miserable in so many ways land on a space rock together and slowly chip away at each other's ridiculous Knight-Tier walls and eventually get through and learn they have so many parallel issues and exhibit so much growth and omg just the difference between how comfortable they seem with THEMSELVES at Collide vs the retcon lilypad just fucking kill me I love them so much ;_;
Red knight district is such a great shipname, but my heart will always belong to Dirkjake, I'm afraid. Those boys would be so great if they would sit down and talk out their issues. Come on, guys. Think of how adorable you were in the dreambubble memory chat.
I am 100% Dirkjake trash. Oh my god I care so much about DirkJake. Jake is my fave character in Homestuck and his relationship with Dirk is just so flawed and complicated and messed up and yet has so much potential to be a really deep loving relationship if those two fucking idiots can work through their communication issues and accept each other.
DaveKat and Rosemary are my canon babies.
I am also crazy about Meenaranea.
oh shit i mean >;]
i am,,, peronsally b etRAYED..... no love for arafef?? its got everything you could want
except for any dialog, interaction or anything at allI've always been somewhat surprised (in a good way) by how relatively popular arafef actually is, considering they barely interact.
I don't think they ever had an explicit interaction in-comic. Maybe in the meteor game, but I don't think so. And then it's probably implied in the treasure hunt ship (the interfishin) since they're at least standing close to each other there lmao
I didn't even know arafef was a thing!
I'm one of those boring people who only ships off in-canon interactions and not theoreticals :(
But in the theoretical: good ship.
Yeah I don't ship a lot of stuff at all but something about them just strikes a chord with me
I'm all about the Davekat. It's so bizarre because I've never been one to dive into fandom in general and I lost a lot of interest in the comic amidst all the pauses. Then Vriskagram happened and I was like "Aww that's cute" but it still wasn't enough to really drag me in. Then Homestuck ended and the holy-shit-it's-actually-over realization kicked in and I realized just how much the comic still meant to me (I've been following it for seven years, after all) and now I'm stuck in davekat fanfic binge cycles and I don't know what happened to my life??
I've been reading DaveKat fanfics on AO3 every morning for months now. It's the first thing I do when I wake up and frankly it's become a habit now. I just never seem to get tired of them.
I did this for months after Vriskagram. Davekat was all I could think about.
scourge, man..... my heart will never belong to another
Honestly, Rosemary is probably my favourite ship in any work of fiction of any type. I love both of their characters individually, but combined they create a fashionable, snarky, and very gay singularity. As for an OT3, just... throw Vriska in there. The potential dynamics... :o
throw terezi in there too. take the Paradox Space route. maybe jade. extra gays only make gays stronger
i fully endorse this but let's not forget about aradia
she will be the nucleus that holds this ultimate gay ship together
I voted for Rosemary, but I got a special place in my heart for JadeRose. Also Jade♠Kan♥Rose♥Jade
Rosejadekan is so incredibly good.
I felt a lot of myself in Davekat, but I think I've gotta go with rosemary as my favorite ship. I love that one of the healthiest, if not THE healthiest relationship in cannon is between two women, and that it isn't treated as a joke or something to objectify.
Might as well add my thoughts on DaveKat: ohmyholyjeebussoadorableallofmyyes.
I honestly absolutely adore Spidermoth?
Just the fact that Kanaya for a while is one of the few trolls whose support Vriska seems to (begrudgingly) accept is just one of the most heartwarming things to me, and that in turn for a while Kanaya is willing to give it is just the cutest thing.
And I don't know, just the straight — pardon the unfortunate term — 'potential'. Kanaya being an example in occasional sensitivity & tact for Vriska; Vriska being her usual acerbic & Kanaya groaning but secretly finding it endearing; Kanaya & Vriska taking care of & loving each other when very few other trolls really put in the effort to properly connect to them. The dynamic just seems like it would be exactly my thing, them being their usual selves & showing each other how things can be done differently. Also, Kanaya making lots more dresses for Vriska. Vriska giving Kanaya ideas for some more high-brow butch fashion. Yes please.
Let alone the blackrom potential, which is H U M O N G O U S & extremely exciting to think about.
Spidermoth is one of these pairings I really want to write fic about, in whichever quadrant. Also I wholly identify with both falling for every trainwreck girl as well as cloaking my affections in copious amounts of fake vitriol.
Well, I never shipped VrisKan in a red quadrant (partially bc I hate Vriska) but now that I'm thinkin abt it, it does have a lot of pitch potential.
arakan 4 lyfe
Also. All poly ships. Spidermoth + Rosemary + Blue Rose OT3. Fuck it, throw Terezi in there too. Have one big pile of lesbians.
The fact that Rose & Vriska didn't interact much is downright criminal though. Blue Rose is the ultimate hypothetical.
Rosemary is just my absolute favorite, though Davekat and Cotton Candy come very close! I think Davekats very sweet, same goes for Rosemary, but I just really love Jane and Roxy's dynamic.
I voted for Rosejade but tbh I love all the femslash ships. All of them. Even the ones with no canonical basis. I don't know why but homestuck girls making out makes me so unbelievably happy? I also love Davekat an incredible amount. Throw me in the shipping garbage.
Dirkjake is also good, but they definitely need to work some things out before a long-lasting relationship can work. The fanon for them is good though (i.e. anything ikimaru has ever drawn).
