hi i'm obviously a bro player and i appreciate reading these things. it sort of reminds me to hold back on the whole watching over dave type of thing and give him more of a sibling rivalry with dave cause i personally think that is what it should be.

but in defense as to how i play him, i typically have him seem overprotective or smothering dave in a way to embarrass him. i'm not sure if other bros do this, but i know that's my method behind his madness. he's a shit guardian, or should be, but he thinks he's doing a good job at what he does.

and for having game knowledge, bro was carrying shades with him when dave fell from the meteor, like he was expecting it to happen, and all of that strifing is training since he knows dave is going to be relevant in the game session. it's really hard to sort of draw the line as to how much the guardians know, but i think bro knows the most.

again, thanks guys for discussing bro and there's my two cents on the matter of things, even if these comments were directed at other players. it's a good refresher.
if anybody has seen any of my threads and have concrit, i have a HMD open.

this was actually not done with you in mind, but i'm glad our little back and forth could help you! homestuck is such a clusterfuck of a canon that it's easy to forget stuff even when you're rping it haha.

but yeah, that sort of overprotectiveness is totally fine since it falls into the messing around with dave's head sort of stuff that he seems to perpetually be doing. we were talking more about genuine shotgun cocking sort of dad type stuff if that makes any sense.

ugh figuring out what guardians know is such a pain in the ass. it's like ok some of them knew they were coming but did they know they were ectorelated and how much of the game did they really know about? drives me nuts and i don't even play bro, haha. but yeah, all things considered he's probably up there in terms of knowledge excepting maybe grandpa or something.

...man, it's nice to see so many people hopping in to talk in this thread. it's been so long since we've had any kind of discussion go around.

yeah ive been waiting for a guardian chat thread for awhile so i had to hop in and i didn't really want to go on anon so i could drop my HMD here if need be.
i mean, i think bro loves and cares for dave, certainly. but he's got weird issues with taking care of him properly and likes to get him to emotionally react by provoking him like a sibling more than a father figure.

you can't go too hard on the training or messing with dave though to where it's abusive cause i don't agree with that.
all the strifing stuff is mutual understanding.

yeah there's a middle ground that's kind of difficult to find if you're not really looking for it since bro's not exactly plentiful on the motivation/characterization stuff as compared to some other characters. it's easy to kind of fall too far one way or the other because of that.
