ok so that was an eye catching title wowwwwwww
basically i really like karkat. a lot. hes my favorite. i basically only read any of this stuff for him now. thats my guy. my skrunkly booboo bear. my little sploinkle. etc.
but like. i think the thing about him is that hes almost like, cosmically ordained to never do anything relevant/canon (canon used in the way its used in the epilogues and beyond canon). the last time he did was when he like... shooshpapped gamzee i think. and he hasnt really done anything since. echidna asked to see him WITH kanaya specifically before [s] collide only for kanaya to knock him out. he leads the charge of ghosts against LE only to be the first to get bonked back into awakeness. its like fate itself wants this guy to never do anything ever.
and i have to wonder if thats intentional. if that means something. if the whole point of him is to try to hold things together in the background, be integral without meaning, almost like a void player? it feels more like a knight thing though. knights sacrifice their aspect for the good of other people- so karkat has to sacrifice his own blood or something, idfk.
basically i want. him to do something cool. and be taken seriously for once. not that i think its bad that he hasnt, it makes sense, i just. i want. it. he has so much more depth than most people give him credit for. hes literally never done anything wrong ever in his life also.
anyway. arguing isnt that fun, but it could be interesting to do about my favorite guy, so engage to your hearts content.
speaking of hearts... heart aspect vs blood aspect. karkat embracing the dubious canonicity of the candy timeline vs dirk rejecting it. is there a showdown in our future or am i overdosing on copium? DISCUSS!
