a not meme? in this economy?

[gobias]

Which moment made you first fall in love with your character or decide to roleplay them? What's your favourite moment they have in canon, if it's different to your first answer? And what's your favourite moment in game with them?

[dingus]

why did you have to remind me serenade exists

now i have to go listen to it and weep about leos and cancers

[shipper]

Hey, you know what hurts even worse than Serenade? Serenade and Requited at the same time.

[dingus]

i decree us both masochists

or sadists

or both

[shipper]

Sadomasochists laughing at each other's pain while simultaneously rolling around and trying to pull the Leo+Cancer blade out of our hearts.

[dingus]

an accurate description of nearly every single leo+cancer thread we have ever had

maybe they'll get to be halfway happy in cnc at least

unlikely considering it's them but AT LEAST THEY'RE BOTH... ALIVE...

[shipper]

I WANT TO BELIEVE BUT SOMEHOW I DOUBT IT WILL DO ANYTHING BUT PROLONG THE SORROW

and besides when they die they come back so there's the opportunity for repeated injury and heartbreak.

[dingus]

karkat has already died in game it was quite the fiasco
cnc found out why you dont kill the guy with violent unstable murderers for best friends

GOD though speaking of death wait until karkat tells nepeta about what happened to her and equius on the meteor, it's going to be awful
he's going to put it off and deliberately hide it from her until he absolutely can't any more

[shipper]

Haha AND THEN THE CITY REALIZED KARKAT WASN'T KIDDING WHEN HE SAID HE WAS THE GLUE HOLDING A BUNCH OF ASSHOLES TOGETHER

No Karkat don't do that, the longer you put it off the more likely it is that someone else is going to tell her first. Someone like...the guy who killed her..

[dingus]

WILL SHE BE MAD IF SHE FINDS OUT FROM SOMEONE ELSE
AND IT BECOMES CLEAR THAT KARKAT HAS BEEN DELIBERATELY KEEPING THIS FROM HER

karkat told gamzee not to tell her but
gamzee doesn't always listen to karkat whoops

[shipper]

SHE WILL BE LESS MAD AND MORE REALLY HURT BECAUSE SHE TRUSTS HIM TO TELL HER THINGS LIKE THAT BECAUSE THEY'RE IMPORTANT :((

Life with a difficult moirail is indeed a hard one. And even if Gamzee does listen Nepeta's still waiting on Kanaya to tell her why she shouldn't trust Gamzee anymore because HE SURE SEEMS FINE ENOUGH TO HER IDK GUYS.

[dingus]

KARKAT WAS AFRAID SHE WOULD HATE HIM
HE DIDN'T WANT HER TO HATE HIM
his reasons are selfish and dumb
he's dumb

also he didn't want her to be like kanaya who was constantly threatening gamzee's life and encouraging karkat to ditch him until it nearly destroyed their friendship
she's backed off now though, at least in front of karkat

[shipper]

IT IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR HER TO HATE KARKAT
BUT SHE CAN BE HELLA DISAPPOINTED IN HIM AND LOOK AT HIM WITH THE MOST BETRAYED EYES EVER
like man come on please respect her enough to tell her to her face instead of secondhand

haha well honestly Nepeta knows the miracles a really solid moirail can work on somebody (boy does she ever know that)
and she's less inclined to take revenge on someone she still considers a friend for something that hasn't happened from her perspective yet
she's more likely to become SUPER DETERMINED to go home and fix it so that it never happens in the first place

[dingus]

NOOO DON'T GIVE HIM THE EYES HE'S SORRY
he really does need to learn to respect her more MAYBE THIS WILL INSPIRE HIM TO TRY

you have no idea how much karkat would appreciate it if nepeta respected his and gamzee's moirallegiance
like nearly everyone else doesn't, they just side eye the hell out of karkat for ever going near that and think gamzee is still a bomb waiting to go off
KARKAT'S BEEN GETTING REAL TIRED OF IT

[shipper]

HOPEFULLY SO
because otherwise there will probably be some kind of tragic event that could have been prevented if he'd taken her more seriously
it's just how our luck runs

NEPETA HAS BEEN TAKING SHIT FROM PEOPLE ABOUT EQUIUS FOR LIKE EVER SHE IS THE LAST PERSON TO JUDGE A PALEMANCE
especially not one she had up on her wall fiiiirst called it bitches
but no seriously she knows that a rail can be the best thing for a troll that goes batshit
especially when the other option is repeated murder :||

[dingus]

weeps yes exactly

karkat may or may not have begun to sympathize with nepeta about equius since taking all this shit about gamzee from everyone
THANK GOD SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS
they can get together and commiserate about their batshit other halves

[shipper]

see I'm game to this horrible destiny we're locked into
I can see the tragedies coming from every mistake now
(it doesn't make them hurt any less though)

SHE UNDERSTANDS PERFECTLY KARKAT DON'T WORRY
they will basically end up with a snitch and bitch book club where they have tea and cookies and spend an hour complaining about their rails and another hour discussing the week's trashy romance novel
shit is so cash

[dingus]

len
are you the seer of nepkat

oh my god yes this is perfect
they can also discuss their friends quadrants and be nosy as fuck, karkat has a lot of dirt for her
let him tell you about how many people have asked for dates over the network since he got here

[shipper]

oh god
I'm not prepared for this great and terrible burden

yesss fill her in on the delicious inner workings of every single cityzen's romantic life
preferably with pictures for the wall
haha god all this needs to happen in-game

[dingus]

len you must shoulder this title
you must bear it
it is yours

he doesn't have pictures but he does have charts
a whole notebook full of charts
which is unfortunately secret but thanks to dave strider being a nosy bastard will not remain secret for very long

we can make all of this happen in game
were doing this man

[shipper]

I
I don't know if I can

akwete purrmask you beautiful bastard
he will find a dead squirrel at the foot of his door in thanks for this
and don't worry Karkat look now you've got illustrations for all your nice work

yes, this is beautiful
were making this transpire

[dingus]

spoilers nepeta is going to have a page
and the page will
probably broadcast the fact that karkat already knows she is flushed for him

[shipper]

and so throughout the city a great cry went up
a cry of the purest and most unadulterated horror ever to be heard by man or beast
and yea, many a soul did not survive the sound


(Karkat no now they both know he knows and they'll have to talk about it)

[dingus]

AT LEAST MOST OF HER PAGE WILL BE FAVORABLE
HE WILL CALL HER A GOOD MOIRAIL
AND A DECENT PERSON
AND SEEM GENUINELY UNWILLING TO HURT HER FEELINGS

it's going to be a very awkward, very sad talk
especially since karkat can relate to her position now after dealing with terezi having a new matesprit and not being interested in karkat anymore
honestly in light of the clusterfuck that is karkat's love life in cnc nepeta's chances with him may not be totally hopeless any more

[shipper]

SHE WILL APPRECIATE THAT LATER
AT THE MOMENT OF DISCOVERY THERE WILL ONLY BE COMPLETE AND UTTER MORTIFICATION

once she realizes that it will just make the eventual Talk even sadder
because she really can't get over him especially when there's actually a chance now and
maybe this time she will get lucky
maybe this time will be different

[dingus]

well depending on how things pan out maybe she could get lucky
i mean, karkat would need to learn to respect her properly before he could be legitimately attracted to her
first and foremost karkat is attracted to a) people who don't take his bullshit and b) people he thinks can take care of themselves
he doesn't think nepeta can take care of herself
so he doesn't really see her as a potential romantic partner, he sees her as someone to worry about and keep out of trouble
