Getting my new one ready...

[thewertsearch]

EB: i should keep looking for my dad! […] GG: john, i already found your dad! […] GG: he is with roses mom GG: they are in a castle, having some sort of tea party together GG: they appear to be enjoying each others company! […] EB: oh wow… EB: jade, what if they get married or something???

This one's hard for me to ship in earnest, since we don’t know much about their actual personalities. They’re essentially the platonic ideals of a 1950s mother and father, though, so the ship does 'make sense', on some abstract level.

Hopefully we'll get to see this date later on - and with any luck, it'll allow us to learn a little more about these two.

GG: but really, they make a nice couple and i think it would be great if they got married! EB: yes, i agree. EB: even if it would make it awkward for me to marry rose.

Karkat’s shipping chart is really weighing on this kid’s mind...

GG: who are they to stand between two youngsters in love? EB: whoa, in love??? GG: yes john, two people must be in love in order to get married […] GG: so what do you say john, are you in love with rose?

...and thanks to Jade, we might be about to hear his take on it.

John reacted rather oddly to the subject when Karkat brought it up - it almost seems like he was bemused at the very idea of having a crush on Rose.

C’mon, John! Spill it!

EB: um… GG: and if not, are you prepared to fall in love with her? EB: er. GG: wellllll? :D EB: argh! EB: this line of questioning is making me flustered.

Or don't, I guess. That's fine. :(

See, I really don’t think John feels that way about Rose. We’ve seen plenty of conversations between those two, and I haven't detected even a hint of romantic chemistry. John does seem oddly fixated on the idea, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's into her.

We've never seen any evidence that John has IRL friends, and I get the sense that he's extremely attached to his online ones as a result.

I think the poor guy just really likes his buddies, and his 'not-a-homosexual' brain is programmed to believe that when you really like a girl, it must be 'a crush'.

He doesn't have a crush, but he does love Rose - so when he considers the question, he becomes confused and flustered, unable to parse what he is feeling from what he should be feeling.

EB: btw, you will marry dave. EB: 100% TRUE REALITY.

The jury's still out on these two, though.

I swear I've seen a spark of something between them - but I'd need to see them interact a little to get a proper read on their relationship.

Lyrics:

Working on the weekend, baby

She's working all through the night

A jump into the deep end gave her

The evidence she required

Takes five, she's got pearls

Don't fake it when it comes to making money

So she smiles, but that's cruel

If you know what she thinks

If you knew what she was after

Sometimes she wonders

And she laughs in her frustration

Would someone, please, explain

The reason for this strange behavior

In exploitation's name

We must be working for the Skin Trade

Doctors of the revolution gave us

The medicine we desired

Besides being absolutely painless

It's a question of compromise

They got steel

So cool to get angry at the weekend

And go back to school

So big deal, it's what rule

When it comes to making money

Say yes, please, thank you

Sometimes you wonder

And ask yourself the question

Would someone, please, explain

The reason for this strange behavior

In exploitation's name

We must be working for the Skin Trade

Would someone, please, explain

The reason for this strange behavior

In exploitation's name

We must be working for the Skin Trade

I know the answer

But you asking the question

Would someone, please, explain

The reason for this strange behavior

In exploitation's name

We must be working for the Skin Trade

Would someone, please, explain

The reason for this strange behavior

In exploitation's name

We must be working for the Skin Trade

Would someone, please, explain

The reason for this strange behavior

In exploitation's name

We must be working for the Skin Trade
