oh the uh. the trickster thing. it's because i ate some candy from home. i knew better than to tempt fate, i should have found a volcano to throw the damn things in.
it's sort of like getting drunk but the alcohol is on steroids and also acid. it's not great...
how can you date a troll and not know the whole quadrants thing? he probably didn't explain, did he? ugh where is karkat when you really need him!!!!!!!!
i'm sorry you got disintegrated(?) and maybe dumped but you should ask him about it. i'm not a troll so it feels wrong for me to even try. maybe he'll even hate you the right way to be your hate-boyfriend instead or something?
ohhh that thing! yeah i know the quadrants. sorry i didn't know <3< was a thing i thought it was code for buttsex.
anyway it was <3 but then i guess biting people caused black romance jealousy? cos he really hated me which he didn't think he could, so basically i guess i crossed quadrants and that makes it worse and more confusing.
conveniently, all their relationships correspond to what we use for card suits? <3 for normal relationships, <3< for hate dating, <> is i guess bffs but romantic but also no kissing, and I don't really get c3<, that one is weird.
ugh god what is it about this troll romance shit that makes you want to explain it! i'm not a troll, i don't date trolls! but whatever, now you know i guess? that's it, i'm banning myself from talking about stupid troll stuff!
let's talk about you. at least you got better? how are you holding up?
right right the mediator role, that one sounds fucking thankless. i feel like that one makes more sense in communal societies. which we sort of are, here. huh.
you could date trolls if you wanted to, they're cool.
yeah, yeah i'm ok. mostly i just feel like a really bad person for how i treated people.
[ He absolutely does not want to date a troll, but that is a topic for another time. ]
i don't think a bad person would come and apologize without any prompting. a bad person would laugh and tell people they were overreacting if they were upset. have you been doing that?
i guess i never really thought about it because you don't actually talk about it much. like dirk is always 'bro i'll wedgie your soul' and shit but you never really bring it up.
yeah it's not really a thing that comes up in casual conversation. like, oh btw, i can turn into an untouchable breeze and also summon huge-ass tornadoes!
i'm also kind of used to everyone knowing... i think they teach kids in school about me and dirk and the rest of us, which is really weird to think about?
you know what i mean though! i'd probably have a dumb boring office job and a briefcase and a whole closet full of pressed white shirts and a bajillion ties!
[ Just like his dad... ]
god... if you think dirk is a hot asshole, i hope you can meet his ecto-siblings someday. they're all hot! all of them! it's super unfair.
