Pilot Spoilers!

I really liked everyone's voices actually! I've already seen people complaining about how the kids were portrayed, especially Dave, but I think they got it spot on! They're all 13 and Dave is just as much of a nerd as the rest of them (which I think people tend to forget or not understand? for some reason)so to me he was exactly how I imagined a;lsdjfa;slf

Karkat too, ngl. I know he said all of one sentence and that was only AFTER the credits, but it was high-pitched enough to match his age while also being rough enough for his anger levels lol

Rose was honestly the most surprising to me, but her voice grew on me quickly! John and Jade were perfect ofc

The animation was captivating, which is NOT surprising in the least, and I liked how they played with panels and character interaction without them being in the same physical space!

I think the only thing I would have changed is Dave's angry outburst while talking to John. I think if he'd grumbled a little more right before and not just gone straight to yelling it would've been better, but that's literally it. Like a "Oh for the love of- LOOK AT THE SKY!" Otherwise, as I said, I think they nailed it xD

Dirk's internalized homophobia, toxic masculinity, and corrupt self-loathing is why he, both in beyond canon and in the fruity rumpus easter eggs, is so against the thought that he (or by extension even Dave as his son) would ever bottom or be seen as bottoms or vers by others. In this essay I will prove that, if he had gone to therapy and/or worked through these issues in some way, he would no doubt metamorphose into a confidently assertive power bottom-
