okokok if you wanna get all psychoanalytical Dave and Vriska are actually very similar characters with very similar histories. the difference is: dave takes a defensive response as a result of his trauma, while vriska takes the offensive approach AAAGGG SORRY FOR GETTING SO SERIOUS

NOO NO THIS IS FUNNY AS HELL BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT!!! I think its very interesting to see how the characters handle trauma its good commentary
