Davepeta and Jasprose present the concept of the Ultimate Self in Homestuck- The collective experience that shapes the ultimate embodiment of a ‘character’, based on everything they are and everything they could have been. Davepeta’s status post Act 7 is… Dubious. I hope they’re alive, and they’ll return in the Epilogue, but right now they’re Schrödinger’s Sprite Squared. Still though, the Ultimate Self is an important concept for Paradox Space, we are told, even while individual versions of the characters may not fully grasp their full impact and role in the whole of Paradox Space, the concept of ‘themselves’ lives on as something higher than a combination of all of them. You could take this as a Metaphysical representation of their ‘Self’ in Paradox Space, as well as a Meta representation of the Characters themselves. No Nepeta individually has any recollection of Davepeta, unless they like, saw/met Davepeta personally. But Davepeta is the embodiment of EVERY single instance of Nepeta and every single instance of Dave ever. The ultimate amalgamation of all they are. They’re not Davesprite and Dead Nepeta- They’re Dave and Nepeta. All Dave, all Nepeta. And that’s how Nepeta lives on as Davepeta- Not because they have part of Nepeta within them, but because they embody the concept of Nepeta and Dave and mix them perfectly together. All that Nepeta ever was and could’ve been. All that Dave ever was and could’ve been.
So, basically, they’re a huge furry.
