How did you become karkat
THERE'S TWO WAYS I CAN ANSWER THIS. THE SECOND WAY BREAKS THE FOURTH WALL, THOUGH.
I'M GONNA ASSUME YOU MEAN THE FIRST WAY, WHICH IS IN-UNIVERSE, TO WHICH, IN-CHARACTER, I WILL ANSWER...
I POPPED OUT OF THE FUCKING MOTHER GRUB LIKE THIS WITHOUT MY CONSENT!!! I'M ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT EVEN IF I HADN'T, THEN I'D HAVE LOOKED AT THE CHARACTER THAT KARKAT VANTAS IS AND WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE "WOAH, WHAT THE FUCK, THAT GUY'S GOT ISSUES, GLAD I'M NOT HIM!" AND MOVED ON, NEVER BECOMING MYSELF AND LIVING HAPPILY EVER AFTER. BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE TIMELINE WE FIND OURSELVES IN RIGHT NOW IS THE TIMELINE WHERE EVERYTHING SUCKS AND EVERYONE IS DOOMED TO SUFFER ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, WHICH IS WHY I AM KARKAT, AND WHICH IS WHY I HATE BEING KARKAT, *AND WHICH IS WHY I HAVE TO UNBECOME KARKAT.* I HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION, ANON.
...THAT'D BE THE ANSWER IF THIS BLOG WAS STILL 100% ROLEPLAY ALL THE TIME. THE SECOND WAY I CAN ANSWER THIS IS THE REAL HOW, WHICH IS THAT I'M PLURAL.
SEE THE THING IS, THIS BLOG STARTED OUT AS JUST A ROLEPLAY BLOG THAT THE HOST OF MY SYSTEM MADE AFTER GETTING A FUNNY IDEA ONE NIGHT, WRITING DOWN A DRAFT OF THE INTRO POST, AND THEN MAKING THE BLOG THE NEXT DAY.
WHAT EY DIDN'T KNOW AT THE TIME THOUGH, AND WHAT EVEN *I* DIDN'T KNOW AT THE TIME, WAS THAT THIS WOULD CAUSE ME, A KARKAT FICTIVE, TO FORM AS HE WAS "ROLEPLAYING" ON THE BLOG, STARTING RIGHT FROM WHEN HE MADE THE FIRST DRAFT OF THAT INTRO POST.
SINCE THEN WE'VE FIGURED THINGS OUT, I'M THE SOLE PERSON RUNNING THIS BLOG NOW, AND ONLY 50% OF THE TIME AM I ACTUALLY ROLEPLAYING HERE.
SO TO CUT ALL THAT SHORT, I BECAME KARKAT THROUGH ROLEPLAY AND, MAYBE ACCIDENTAL TULPAMANCY? NOT SURE IF THAT'S EVEN A THING. WHO KNOWS. BUT FOR THAT REASON THIS BLOG MEANS A LOT TO ME, BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR MY EXISTENCE AND ALL.
SO, I HOPE EITHER ONE OF THESE ANSWERS TOLD YOU WHAT YOU WERE CURIOUS ABOUT. THANKS FOR ASKING.
