A day in the life of Karkat Vantas.

[crab]

wake up in the morning feeling like p diddy






ok no a day in the life of karkat usually starts with applying first aid after getting back from phantasm shenanigans. he is not very good at parkour and it shows. after that he'll settle in for either fucking around on rumblr or perusing the network, whichever is more interesting, until his considerably more diurnal housemates start waking up. or pretending to wake up, in the case of the ones who don't sleep. looking at you, ruka and danger.

then there's breakfast!! which... usually he just has ruka make for him, since he still doesn't really understand how human food works, and whenever he tries to cook it looks more like a failed science experiment than a meal. food without grubs and/or bugs??? weird. if ruka doesn't do it he just has something simple and harmless like cheerios.

sometimes during breakfast kanaya will materialize out of nowhere and make him rescue a bunch of people from a burning building. stuff like that.

assuming spontaneous friend materialization hasn't occurred, he has the option of going back to fuck around on the computer and/or communicator and continuing to yell at people who are wrong on the internet, or go out and yell at people who are wrong on the street. or just hanging around and yelling at his housemates. that too. he has to get his daily quota of yelling in though. LATELY he opts to stay home more -- he's out all night and sore and tired, and not really in the mood to go prancing around in the sunshine on top of all that.

BUT idling is really bad for him and makes him dwell on things he shouldn't, so even if he stays at home, he'll usually occupy himself with stuff he thinks is important. (stuff he's fretting about) so like, he'll write notes and draw grids and practice with his sickle and try to keep himself busy with general domestic fucking around. he'll do household chores, write movie reviews for rumblr, watch movies for said reviews, mess around with his sylladex, scour the network.

assuming nothing unspeakably stupid has happened since he got home (usually something does) he'll leave for vigilante antics sometime in the evening, and spend the night with a bunch of native phantasm members who don't like him and who he equally dislikes. he's a very "tagalong" member of the team that nobody really wants around, but they let him come because he has those fancy dogtags. he doesn't get to go on the cool, dangerous missions much -- the ones where they bust into crime syndicates and get themselves killed -- usually he's shafted to just general nighttime patrols, skulking around the shadier pockets of the city waiting for something to go wrong. sometimes entire nights will pass without them finding any action! sometimes they'll get lucky/unlucky and run into a mugger. or just some poor guy who "looks suspicious" who was probably just trying to get home from the graveyard shift. karkat has gotten himself stabbed several times by now. it's not pretty.

other nights he'll ditch the phantasm and go out by himself! he doesn't... fare much better this way. he is actually a lot worse. he spends most of his solo nights practicing stuff like scaling buildings and shit, considering he sucks at it and the majority of his nightly injuries are from falling off stuff.

so yeah he fucks around doing dangerous things all night, and comes back home sometime around dawn, and the whole thing starts up again.
