So about a year ago you posted some sketches about Eridan and Dirk being bros, and in one of the panels Karkat mentions that Dirk is his Kismesis. Have you ever written a post elaborating on Karkat♠Dirk, and if not do you still see them together like that or have you reworked that pairing?

i think i might be leaning karkat and hal or karkat and jane in spades now

we know for sure karkat's hate has to end up with a human somehow, given his stupid "i could hate a hole through paradox space to a new reality fresh for the hating" line, and he seems to be of the same opinion

moreover what he appears to be looking for in a kismesistude is some element of destiny, keeping in line with his general obsession with the idea of soulmates and destiny in romance (basically all 3 of his favorite movies revolve around couples that are basically Made For Each Other) - and this is what he initially appears to believe about john, fuelling his initial "hatred" (which he ultimately admits was misplaced)

Basically, when Karkat discovers John for the first time, when he connects the dots and decides that this is the boy who is directly responsible for all his failures and problems, it's "hate at first sight." Even though this may not be a gag, it does serve as a pretty good punchline of sorts to all the buildup we just went through: getting to know Karkat through a long detour/review of his journey, learning about troll romance and how that system works, etc. Then we finally return to the A-plot, and we see the spades in Karkat's eyes, and…ah, yes. We get it now. This is why Karkat is infatuated with John and spews impotent rage through a clumsy reverse-linear deluge of hate-flirting.

if his blackrom match was meant to be one of the other trolls, there'd be more setup for it. we do know he holds equius and vriska in great contempt, but his interactions with them are ultimately cordial and professional, with no romantic undertones. he has a crush on jade that vacillates pretty wildly, but is primarily in red and ashen, but she's pretty clearly Not Into That. similarly, you can say lots about his interactions with rose and dave, but black seething hatred isn't really one of them.

so by process of elimination, we know his blackrom match is probably one of the characters introduced in act 6. we can discount the dancestors completely because of the age gap, so that leaves the 4 humans and hal (calliope disabled bc she's foreshadowed for his red). it also feels 'right' to me narratively for his pitch to be an alpha kid, for the same reason it feels right for his red to be calliope - so much of the story hinges on karkat's hatred and anger, so much cosmic and narrative significance is placed on it, that it only seems "right" that it literally cannot be resolved UNTIL some sort of grand cosmic knot is resolved. his soulmate was waiting for him, but he had to cross two universes to get there. etc.

in general he'd be interested in someone who would receive that insane rant he gave john initially and return it in kind somehow, like he was very much expecting john to reply with some sort of "yes, haha, well it turns out that i was in fact the mastermind behind all your suffering, en garde" kind of reply, since karkat is a romantic and dreams of some sort of cosmically significant whirlwind of a kismesistude (and if we look at our two other decently foreshadowed pitch ships, eridan/calliope and feferi/nepeta, they fit the bill, as both pairs are marked by their equal and opposite quality).

CG: ATTENTION WORTHLESS HUMAN. CG: THIS IS YOUR GOD SPEAKING.

you know who he DOES have a kinda-sorta pitch thing for? terezi, with whom his vacillations are red and black (and leaning more black than red in terms of what he says out loud - he invites her to a candle light hate date, he does NOT invite her to a genuine red romantic one).

so please understand i have been picking at this knot for fucking ages, and here are the runnings as i currently have them

tied for first place, hal and jane:

jane:

in a similar initial position to john, being the "leader" of her team and the first one in the medium, not to mention being related to him and so, quite similar to him

the capitalist heiress/communist rebel leader dynamic is pretty interesting and cosmic

caliborn had a black crush on her, and she really really really fucking hated caliborn

hal:

is genuinely responsible for all their suffering, as he's the primary personality present in doc scratch (and from there, all the terrible circumstances of alternia)

they're both kinda matchmakers but hal is a sicko evil mode sociopath matchmaker where karkat has the power of love and friendship on his side

caliborn also really fucking hated hal and yelled at him about his fake red herrings, and hal did not like caliborn either

so i really don't know hahahah

i'm currently swayed towards hal because 1) part of jane's arc is definitely going Capitalism is Bad Actually, so i don't really see the cosmic angle lasting once she's finished her character arc, 2) since hal becoming a Real Boy is something that has to happen so narratively late, it would also vibe like fuck for karkat's most focused-on quad to only meet its match after everything else has happened, and 3) i don't think jane would be particularly willing to match karkat's energy when it comes to a pitch relationship, since she's kind of... a normal girl who hates being yelled at? but i think if karkat entreated hal to that anguished declaration of hatred, hal would have a fucking field day.

soooo yeah idk leave your thoughts in the comments

When Steph and Cass get married they don’t take the last name Brown (Daddy Issues™️) or Cain (Daddy Issues Prime™️) or even Wayne (Steph absolutely REFUSES to become a Wayne nosirree), but a secret fourth thing (Gordan).

Truly the hottest part of kink play is the trust.

Like. Yeah, hearing my partner say they want me to make them my doll to use and play with however I want is hot as fuck, but the fact that they want to give up all their control to me because they have total unwavering trust in me to take care of them and not cross their boundaries makes me feral

I love Sonic's modern Ninja tech wear when he's not in that skin tight suit, I want ppl to put him in as much jewlery as they can too 🥺 He is very pretty after all.

Whenever he makes an appearance he's wearing smth cute do I thought I'd point it out,

Do you think Peter learned how to breakdance when he got his powers just to add flare to his movement?

i think peter parker had been trying and failing to breakdance long before the spider-bite, and is just happy to discover he finally has the upper body strength to actually pull it off now

[aha-chuu]

Can't decide whether I prefer Neuvillette looking like an old man (white hair + grandpa demeanour + dad vibes for all the melusine) or if I like him looking like a pretty, youthful model (super young by dragon years + in game model baby-face + actually very inexperienced in human conduct = immature?)

All the fanart I see kind of just picks one but idkkkk,,, I sort of enjoy the idea that he's kinda young looking but talks and acts very very old because, you know, in human terms he is very old. And everyone in Fontaine is used to it cos they all know he's not human and appearance ≠ reality. But people usually see him from pretty far away in the Opera house, so they can only see the white hair and hear his old man voice. So when he rarely does show up in person the public has a jumpscare of "oh not literally a grandpa huh uh oh".

And he definitely doesn't look like teenage or twenties, even youthful Neuvillette has gotta be like late thirties earliest. Mature but not actually as old as anyone would expect.

I love when miscommunication is like “oh they’re actually a little bit weirder than I thought. Do they need help? Kinda cute tho.” And not “They hate me I can never speak to them again” (because I can’t handle angst)

Or alternatively (in case the devildom has no cigars, which I think is plausible)

Idk why I’m orange I was supposed to be slightly more orange-tinted not tangerine coloured help me

[idontmindifuforgetme]

Don't kill your crush, but gently set it free and let fate take care of it. Worked well for me :)

Unkess he is causing problems, then kill him by all means yeah

HES NOT he’s genuinely so nice. Idk i think when im locked in i come off as unapproachable, which is part of the problem. Like he and I shadowed the doctor together before, and I remember how last time he’d be asking me personal questions in between patients. Like he’d start a convo, we’d shadow a patient, and he’d pick it ups where we left off. That’s before my (very latent) crush, so I was like oh wow this man is sooooo into me. And I think he IS but idk neither of us is going out of our way and that’s prob for the best 🩷 whatevs

I also am very all in or all out and dk how to be middle ground ab things 😭 I should be able to have flirty banter w him and leave it at that or give diminutive little hints BUT I’m in all out mode rn and do give off polite friendly energy but I need to learn how to let it linger (this is not something I’m worried ab im j making observations ab how I interact w someone I like)

Okay, before it falls out of my head. Someone on my timeline tagged a Sam post with stuff about how Sam mimes rebellion to cover up how much he wants (and fails) to fit in.

And there's this exchange between Anael/Sister Jo and Lucifer in 13x13:

Despite lipservice to the idea of rebellion, Lucifer wants to fit, too.

some of my tags criticizing da4 were added to a post without my url on it (which is all chill, no problem on that) and so the post is turning around and someone in the tags commented on it "it's like manfred vs cole" which..... is also a topic on which i replied to a post about and my addition circulated around.... while those are two very different topics that started both posts....

this is so funny to me because you wouldn't guess at first sight that i wrote on both of those so i'm like aayyyy.

anyway of course it was especially good work on the OPs part and it gave me an opportunity to put words onto something. I just find it so funny. i'm here on both scenes of the crime.
