022 ♋ Video

[ Karkat is literally surrounded when he flips on the Gear. poor guy is a little rattled, Pokemon kind of all over him. swablu, some dragons, his Espeon... but seriously. looks like he is about to hyperventilate over here. taking deep, slow breathes to help calm. ]

What the...

[ and then he loses it. ]

MIGHTY TAINT CHAFTING FUCK IS GOING ON!?!?

(( ooc note: it's been a whole year canon-wise for Karkat. he's going to be a little disoriented at first. ))

[...he seems kind of amused by that, really.]

So I've been told, yes. But then, there are worse things to be, really.

Well you don't really expect a guy that blows shit up for shits and giggles to be mentally sound.

Most consider me mad, in my world; I've never argued with them.

Like I said. I don't GET most humans.

And what is it you aren't getting this time around, if I may?

No no. I just mean in general.

It's not like you're a subjuggulator or anything like that. Insanity isn't necessarily tied to hobbies.

I'm...sorry, it's not like I'm a what?

Augh. A clown cultist that worships the Mirthful Messiahs.

I see.

[...well

that's

...yep]

At any rate, humans don't always assess madness through one's actions, but rather by analyzing one's thoughts as well, particularly in regards to the general accepted standard of ethics and morality. As such, many of my thoughts would be considered heresy by most humans.

However, there's a difference between heresy and stupidity; appearing "sane" by human standards is all a matter of knowing what's acceptable and what isn't, and acting accordingly. It's study and self-control, nothing more.

Oh please. Knowing right from wrong and then deciding to do the "wrong" doesn't make anyone anything but a dick.

It wasn't the fact that Gamzee killed a fuck ton of us that made him crazy or even why he did it. Subjuggulators are whimsical fucktards anyway. What made him insane was the fact that he was pretty much blind with fucking rage and thought a puppet was talking to him.

That's insanity.

[And again, that's seemed to amuse him.]

That's why I tend to refer to it as "heresy" rather than "insanity," when referring to my own assessment of myself. I won't deny that my thoughts are abnormal by everyone else's standards, but I'm not hallucinating or having meaningful conversations with the tea kettle, either.

It's more a difference in thought process, in my case, I think.

Yeah well... Take a number and get in the fucking line.

It's not anything I care about either way, really; if others take up issue with it, then it matters very little to me in the end.

Although I do have to wonder what you plan on doing in regards to this "enigma" you're perceiving me as.

Who said I was planning on doing anything?

Most aren't content to leave things like that alone.

Not human, remember?

Perhaps, but you can't pretend that your thought processes are so completely foreign to ours that we can't possibly fathom how you work.

But I'll grant it either way.

Yes we can. Totally can.

Now, if you could only have some valuable words of potential wisdom for relationship woes.

Having problems in that department again, are you? Go ahead, then.

Not problems, per se. I came to a shocking yet sad conclusion back in the Veil circling around someone else and that's actually got me a little fucking torn inside.

But Eridan and I were together until he disappeared. I know it's probably stupid, but that seems like so fucking long ago, even though it's been what... Maybe two weeks?

[ in other words... should he even really still HAVE that attachment? since it's been a year for him? should he feel guilty if he doesn't? is it okay to pine after Terezi like he has been for the last year? ]

[...he'll actually think that over for a moment.]

And do you still feel anything in his direction?

A little, but it's not earth shattering like it was to know that he's not here now.

Moving on is to be expected; while forgetting is something that I find unacceptable, given that it trivializes whatever thoughts and feelings you may have had toward someone, living in the past and refusing to move forward is equally unacceptable. The world doesn't stop because someone is no longer present in your life. Either you move forward with it or you don't, but the latter option serves no one.

Well obviously people move on. Shit, if we had gotten together as trolls, he would have lived for thousands of sweeps after I died. That part isn't in question here.

It's those stupid unwritten rules about time.

Such as?
