Lyrics:

I hear songs on the radio

They might be fast or they might be slow

But every song they play's got me thinkin' 'bout you

I see a fella walkin' down the street

He looks at me and he smiles real sweet

But he don't matter to me

'Cause I'm thinkin' 'bout you

Every little dream I dream about you

Every little thought I think about you

Drives me crazy when you go away

I oughta keep you locked up at home

And like a wild horse I want to break you

I love you so much I hate you

Every little thing reminds me of you

Honey when you leave me here all alone

My tongue gets tied when I try to talk

My knees get weak when I start to walk

So I might as well stay home and keep thinkin' 'bout you

"the young and the restless" on my tv set

That's just like us when we first met

And when they start to kissin'

Got me thinking bout you

Every little dream I dream about you

Every little thought I think about you

Drives me crazy when you go away

I oughta keep you locked up at home

And like a wild horse I want to break you

I love you so much I hate you

Every little thing reminds me of you

Honey when you leave me here all alone

Songwriter:

Every little dream I dream about you

Every little thought I think about you

Drives me crazy when you go away

I oughta keep you locked up at home

And like a wild horse I want to break you

I love you so much I hate you

Every little thing reminds me of you

Honey when you leave me here all alone

AG: I was just 8etrayed and a8andonded 8y my two accomplices and 8est pals, and on top of that I am soaked in the 8lood of my lusus which I just had to decapit8 myself.

Vriska had all her eggs in the Blue Team’s basket, and now that that’s fallen through, she only has one option left if she wants to avoid the apocalypse. 

She’s lucky that Karkat already wants her, or she’d essentially be begging him for her life. 

CG: BUT I MEAN YOU CAN JUST DUMP HER CARCASS IN THE KERNEL AND BRING HER BACK STRONGER THAN EVER. AG: Wow. AG: Uh, good to know. AG: I guess. ::::\

Not pictured: Vriska screaming internally, as she realizes she has no excuse not to resurrect her, and is therefore still stuck with her. 

CG: WHY DO YOU EVEN HATE [TAVROS], IT'S FUCKING RIDICULOUS. [...] AG: It's just a really special kind of h8! It never goes away and it doesn't make a lot of sense. CG: THIS IS KIND OF A WEIRD TIME TO BE CONFIDING IN ME ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS OF BLACK ROMANCE BUT OK.

Black romance, eh? It’s not a familiar term, but it doesn’t seem too hard to parse. 

It sounds like Karkat is talking about a positive kind of hate that’s analogous to love - the kind of thing you’d see in a particularly tumultuous case of enemies-to-lovers. The implication is that Vriska doesn’t really hate Tavros in the conventional sense - she’s actually, in a way, obsessed with him.

I don’t really see it, though. For one thing, I don’t think Tavros himself has any feelings of ‘black romance’ towards Vriska. He’s obviously not a fan of hers, but I haven’t seen anything to suggest he obsessively hates her - he just doesn’t want anything to do with her.  

CG: I MEAN IF YOU'RE REALLY IMPLYING TAVROS IS YOUR KISMESIS I THINK YOU'RE BRAYING UP THE WRONG FROND NUB. CG: BOTH PARTIES HAVE TO HATE EACH OTHER EQUALLY, I MEAN LIKE TRUE HATE. CG: MAYBE YOUR FEELINGS COME SOMEWHAT CLOSE TO FITTING THE BILL BUT I DON'T THINK HE CAN HATE ANYONE, IT'S WEIRD, HE'S KIND OF BROKEN IN THE HEAD.

Karkat concurs. He doesn’t anti-ship Vriska and Tavros, and neither do I. 

Sounds like this is a recognized type of relationship in troll society - or, at least, it’s something Karkat is familiar with. This isn’t the kind of interest I expected him to have, but in retrospect, it does make sense - the guy is all about hate.

A kismesis sounds like a special kind of nemesis. The word resembles kismet - destiny, or fate - which would make kismesis a fated nemesis. I like the idea a lot, to be honest - troll friendships are already rooted in antagonism, so it makes sense that their relationships would work the same way.

Working Dog

I do not enjoy the chase. I do not enjoy working late nights on urgent projects For deadlines that were due the day before they're requested. It does not make me feel excited or motivated or young, Just tired and like a dog too old to do anything but nap in sunbeams. Then again, I've always liked naps.
