best friend

[glowsferatu]

he's basically her little brother, let's be real. she's not quite familiar enough with human familial dynamics to necessarily recognize it, but has found a lot of uncomfortable parallels while discussing gretel's relationship with her own brother.

he's incredibly important to her either way, and she knows that beneath his bombastic surface the guy's all heart and emotions. because of this, she feels a little protective of him, because she knows that he has a fragile ego that she doesn't want to see damaged, and that he's too good a person to be made to bloody his hands. unfortunately, she has a tendency to take action on this front where it isn't always her place without his consent, and ends up causing some of that damage while trying to prevent it by outside parties.

she's tried to back off a little now that she's been made aware of the effect it's had, and how her acting out on other occasions had strained their relationship somewhat, and carries a lot of guilt for it now. she's almost afraid to meddle, but she's even more afraid of him getting hurt. it's enough for her to try to put aside her grudge against gamzee, to try to maintain peace for karkat's sake. she feels like he deserves her to be a better friend than that more than she deserves to continue acting otherwise.

seeing him dead before was heartbreaking, especially knowing the culprit was someone she's carried feelings of failure and frustration about for not being as dead as she'd left him at home. she can't have it happen again. she'll sooner find a way for herself to die.

hypocritically, she wishes he weren't so hard on himself. she still considers him the best leader their merry shithive maggots band could cultivate, and that anyone else in that position would have cracked far sooner. if she could take on every pain and trauma and stress he's experienced to give him even one day of relief, she wouldn't hesitate. all of her hopes in their better nature reside in him, and she loves him deeply.

now if only she could get his love life straightened out.
