Seeing as how the previous ship poll was, uh, thoroughly lacking, to say the least, I figured I'd make another so we had a proper assessment of the most popular ships in the Homestuck fandom. This thread will also double as a discussions thread for the various relationships, both platonic and not-so, between the characters.

More confirmation that Hussie dun goofed. The most popular ship in ALL OF FUCKING HOMESTUCK is Roxygen, yet we get (presumably) Calleoxy. I still hope, deep within my heart, that Roxygen is a thing.

(If he didn't add it on purpose, I'll praise Salty for the rest of my life) Also, what sick fucks ship JohnJade, DaveRose and all the other insest-ey ships?! By the way, I was just brainstorming if the main cast had kids, and the ships I used were Roxygen, Karezi, Rosemary and Davejade. I was CONVINCED that Davekat is more popular than Davejade, and nobody shipped Karezi, but to my delight - I was proven wrong! |

Lemme toss my two cents.
John/Roxy is definitely poplular nowadays, but fuckign gay singularity...
Dave/Jade and Karezi shippers often overlap (Can confirm), just like Daverezi and Jadekat.
Rosemary is a popular ship, but it's so canon that most people don't mind shipping it.
Arasol's not popular that much, given that they've been absent for a loooong time.

Why did you put in JohnJade but not JohnKat? That ship needs justice.

I like how this thread was made to fix the poll by adding things that were missing in the original thread, yet here we are pointing out what ships are still missing.

Whoever made that poll sure has weird tastes.
Jadepeta? Did they even interact in canon?
Stridercest? Johnjade?
All of that but no Johnkat?
Oh well.
Or we could just use likes. A like for this one post is a vote for Johnkat. (Justice for the palhonchos!)

A like for this one post is a vote for Johnkat. (Justice for the palhonchos!) Jade and Nepeta never really interacted in canon, but it was popular around the 2012-era. Dead now, but hey, some people are still down with it. Daverose and Johnjade have always been popular; Daverose more, but still. BUT I FUCKING FORGOT JOHNKAT. My vote would still go to Karezi, but I cannot believe I forgot one of my favorite ships. |

I was CONVINCED that Davekat is more popular than Davejade, and nobody shipped Karezi, but to my delight - I was proven wrong! I does make me happy to see that people still ship the old ships like Karezi. I does pain me to see that the JohnVris fandom is basically non existent now though considering it used to be a very poular one. I think it depends what site you go on too. You will find people who still like karezi, Davejade, Daverezi, etc on places like here and reddit. But in places like tumblr were the sjw is strong Davekat and Vrisrezi are very popular pairings, and Karezi is non-existent and gets a lot of shit posts, which is really sad honestly since that ship had such good chemistry and was funny to read and Terezi made pre-retcon Karkat develop a lot as a character more than what people think. And as for DaveRose and JohnJade, those pairings where popular before John did the dun goofed thing and made those pairings incest. Since then JohnRose and Davejade became popular, the later being far more popular since it doesnt really have a popular and well-liked-by-everyone rival pairing like the former did (Rosemary). Daverezi, Jadekat and Davekat dont count since they have a lot of fans who dont like those pairings and Karezi exists, which rivals Daverezi and and overlaps with Davejade (my god this love square lol). If DaveRose wasnt incest I actually would have liked it and could see it happening, and I think I actually did like it at one stage before John messed with shit. |

My favorite ship is quite a rare pair. Solrezi is a fun ship to explore through fanfiction and stuff, but for some reason Solnep is slightly more popular as far as rare ships go and it makes me sad. lol

Eh, don't worry. That fad will disappear eventually, and sjws will rush to another show. >Terezi made pre-retcon Karkat develop a lot as a character more than what people think. Did post-retcon Karkat get any development beyond getting a small lesson on monorom being okay? He was wimpified into a second Tavros - albeit a shouty and not shy one. |

Yes that is exactly what I try to say whenever anyone claims Davekat was good for both characters involved. And yet nobody listens, god dammit. |

Oh, Johnvris, Johnvris is so good. It was pretty much my first OTP in any fandom ever and I highly doubt I'll ever get over it. I just love the dynamic Vriska had with John, and I believe they could've gone so far together, but I guess Hussie had other plans... *sob*
Altough Johnvris is one of my very favourites, I enjoy (or am generally okay with) pretty much all Homestuck ships, with the exclusion of Davekat. It's crazy fandom really made me dislike it. And let's be honest, it wasn't dealt very well with in canon, erasing much better developed and meaningful relationships like Karezi. The dynamic Terezi and Karkat had not only was realistic and beautiful, but also has been developing for three thousand pages. And then retcon happened and it just... got erased. And we were given a ship out of nowhere, a ship which could've worked, if only we could see it develop, but we weren't allowed to and were just thrown into a timeline where we were forced to accept it as a thing.

I never really got Johnvris. I thought that it was fairly obvious that their positive interactions in Act 5 only happened because John hadn't yet learned how terrible of a person Vriska is. As seen in Act 6, when John does get to know Vriska a little better that positivity soon goes out the window. So to me, that relationship simply isn't viable, unless we keep John in some sort of braindead state of optimistic naivety, which is simply a disservice to his character.

I think it's mostly people who defend Vriska who think them being together is viable. I definitely wouldn't think that, we already learned that them dating didn't work out with the doomed version of John and all that. |

I always thought the problem with JohnVris is they were mistaking a pale relationship for a concupiscent one. Compare Equius and Nepeta's talks with John and Vriska's. They're not that different.
I mean, in real life anyone having any relationship with someone like Vriska would be very, very bad for them, but in Homestuck that's what I always thought was going on.
I have a weakness for JohnKat, even after the 'I'm not a homosexual' talk. I don't know why. Generally if someone outright says they're straight or gay in something I don't ship them with someone they would be incompatible with. (For example, I wouldn't ship Dirk with any girls.) But for some reason I just like JohnKat. Maybe it's because those two have such a ridiculously good dynamic.
I also have a weakness for OT4s and OT8s but they don't have to be romantic. Pale OT4s and OT8s? True companions? Eh.

I remember interacting with JohnVris shippers in the past, where I couldn't understand why they thought matespritship was more likely than a moirallegiance. |

I remember interacting with JohnVris shippers in the past, where I couldn't understand why they thought matespritship was more likely than a moirallegiance. Huh, I dunno why I never thought of them in terms of moiraillegiance... I guess because of the whole "that's a troll-romance thing, it's not for humans!" thing, which is now no longer a thing. But I mean, just look at this whole exchange: VRISKA: I've received quite a few 8eatings in my time, and not only did I have each one coming, 8ut they all led to 8ig changes for me, on the road to 8ecoming the impecca8ly evolved person I am now. VRISKA: So 8y that measure, it was pro8a8ly the most critical smackdown of my entire life! JOHN: that's cool. JOHN: if you ever need another really important punch in the face, just let me know. i'm your man. And what is a "stop doing something stupid and reckless" punch to the face if not an extreme version of shoosh-papping?  (That line also makes me wonder if Vriska has another really important punch to the face coming, but that's probably a subject for another thread) I don't get why people ship DaveJade when Davepeta exists. Probably partly because Dave and Jade (and Karkat) quite possible live together whereas Davepeta is MIA, and partly because I suspect a lot of people don't really view Davepeta as a real person so much as a crazy flashing game construct. But I can get behind it! |
