Well yeah I know he's not. But that's what it looks like you're doing! And believe it or not, I do know about those issues. Not what caused them, but...yeah.

You're from too fucking early in the timeline to know anything about him.

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

Oh, so he can't snap while he's here? Is that what you're saying?

[For once, he actually looks pretty serious about this.]

Trust me, I don't have to be from later in the timeline to know that Gamzee has a ruthless, violent side.

I don't see why it would have happened if he were fucking human. The rage is a trait of a troll's blood line. Seriously, trolls get more shithive maggots the higher on the spectrum you go.

It really doesn't matter now, though. I've taken care of it and it won't be happening again.

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

I don't know why it happened, I just know that it did. But if it doesn't happen again, you won't hear me complaining.

[The last thing he needs is more brain damage, kthnx.]

So...is that something that works on all trolls? Or just Gamzee?

[homofuckiens.livejournal.com]

You could ask Nepeta. I just sort of went with my fucking gut on that one. So, honestly I don't know if it works that way for all moirails.

[He looks a little deflated. Karkat, you are the troll romance expert! You are supposed to have all the answers! And John really needs help in the field of moirallegiance.]

Oh. Okay...I will have to remember to ask her about that if I ever hear from her again.

[ he is... but who focuses so much on pale relationships? it's not like he has experience on the nuances of how they work. just the mechanics. ]

John?

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

[All the answers, Karkat. You are supposed to have ALL OF THEM.]

Yeah?

[homofuckiens.livejournal.com]

What's wrong that you would even need to ask me this shit?

Nothing's wrong! It's just...here, hold on.

[The feed clicks off for a second, before John calls back with a filter on the video.]

I'm Vriska's moirail now and I still don't really know what I'm doing. I mean, I know what a moirail is and everything but I am worried that somehow I will manage to fuck everything up. And I really don't want to...

You won't fuck up, John. Look, I've already seen what kind of troll she ends up becoming just because of your influence. Potential's there and everything. So all you have to do is figure out how to get her from doing stupid shit.

[ he, of course, says this with a bit of a saddened face. ]

She said the same thing...but even so, I can't help but worry.

[He runs a hand through his hair and sighs.]

Basically, I have already disappointed her once. And I don't want to do it again. It's been over a month since we become moirails, but to me, everything still feels the same as it did before. It's kind of hard not to be discouraged by that.

What happened?

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

Ah...well. She didn't want to be moirails originally. And she came here thinking that she would have a chance at something more uh...red? Is that the term? Anyway, she didn't. I'm already dating Rose and she was understandably upset about that. So...

You both are so fucking stupid I might throttle you both the moment I lay my disgusting red eyes on you.

Wh-What? Why?

Re: video; filtered 60%

BECAUSE BEING A MOIRAIL ISN'T ABOUT FUCKING COMPROMISING, THAT'S WHY!

It's about standing up to your fucking responsibility that you feel lead to. It's that fucking feeling of looking at the nookwipe and realizing that the world isn't going to be the same if they're not a part of your fucking life and vice versa. Knowing that you have to fucking look out for them because no one else could ever be as good at it as you. Then also the same in reverse.

The quadrant has a deep meaning and you agreeing to become a moirail because she couldn't have you any other way totally and completely demeans it!

[In the blink of an eye, his face goes from anxious to darkly serious. You touched a nerve there, Karkat.]

Okay. First of all: I care about Vriska. I don't appreciate the implications that I am not taking this seriously or that I agreed to this for shallow reasons. Because I didn't. Trust me, had you been here? I would have called you the night she asked me and asked you for help. Which is what I'm trying to do now, though I guess maybe I should have been more direct about it.

I want to be a good moirail. Yeah, I feel sort of bad that she had deeper feelings for me when I don't feel that way about her, but that's not why I agreed. I agreed because she needs me. That's the one thing I do understand after talking to her: Vriska. Needs. Me. But I'm not a troll, Karkat. I have never been one. So I don't know how moirails are supposed to actually, really feel about each other beyond "take care of each other". I have been trying my best to figure that out on my own, but there's only so much I can do on my own as a human.

[Once again, he runs a hand through his hair, taking a deep breath and trying to compose himself once more.]

If all you are going to do is yell at me and accuse me of trying to demean a concept that's still relatively new to me, then this conversation is over. I'll just see if I can get a hold of Nepeta and ask her for help.

Goddamn it it, John. I fucking know you care about her. Fuck, after reading a particular conversation, I am pretty sure you agreed to fucking go out on a date with her. So don't think I don't get that concept of it, you grubfisted moron.

But really, I'll fucking yell and chew you out all I want. It's what I fucking do and you know it. So either suck it up or go to Mepeta. I really don't give two shits either way.

[They're so good at this friendship thing, aren't they?]

I-- wait what? [He had a response to that but what was that about a date? Please say you're joking, Karkat, please. This is the last thing he needs.] I did what?

Forget it. Just fucking hang up like you want to.

[ oops! ]

Well I'm definitely not going to hang up after you drop something like that on me! Do me a favor, whatever you do, please do not mention that to Rose or Vriska.

Sure. Whatever.

Thanks. Because they seem to be getting along now. And the last thing I want is for that to stop being a thing. Or for one of them to be mad at me. That would suck too.
