So what happens when Karkats collide...

YOU ARE NOW TALKING TO A RANDOM FUCKASS. SAY SOMETHING, ASSHOLE!

▼: WELCOME TO THERAPY.

▲: WAIT WHAT

▼: TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS.

▲: I DON'T FUCKING NEED THERAPY WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

▼: OH SHIT.

▼: WHY ARE YOU HERE?

▼: OKAY I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT YOU NEED THERAPY.

▲: NO I FUCKING DON'T

▼: WHATEVER VERSON OF ME YOU ARE.

▼: CAN IT ASSHOLE.

▲: /YOU'RE/ THE ONE THAT NEEDS THERAPY IF YOU SERIOUSLY THINK YOU CAN HELP TROLLS OR PEOPLE OUT LIKE THIS

▼: YOU BASICALLY JUST TOLD ME THAT I NEED THERAPY AND YOU ARE ME SO THANK YOU FOR ADMITTING YOU NEEDED HELP.

▼: HAH.

▼: SO WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM?

▲: THE FACT THAT I'M HAVING AND LOSING AN ARGUMENT WITH MY SELF

▲: HOLY FUCK I'M

▲: JUST GONNA TAKE A BREAK FROM THIS FUCKING THING

▼: OKAY SO YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY PAST ME.

▼: DUE TO THE FACT YOU'RE UTTERLY RETARDED.

▲: WHAT

▼: AND I REMEMBER THIS ARGUMENT.

▼: SO YES, YOU'LL GO THROUGH THIS AGAING SOME DAY AND WIN IT.

▼: BUT RIGHT NOW, SHUT UP.

▲: UGH FINE

▼: AND TELL ME WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND.

▲: ...

▲: IF YOU'RE FUTURE ME THEN YOU KNOW WHAT THE FUCK I FOUND ON THIS SHITTY

METEOR YESTERDAY

▼: OF COURSE I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, BUT I KNOW IT FEELS BETTER TO TALK ABOUT

IT.

▼: SO SPILL.

▲: HER SHIPPING WALL

▲: NEPETA'S FUCKING SHIPPING WALL AND WHAT HER OTP WAS

▲: I DON'T KNOW WHAT AN OTP IS BUT IT SOUNDS PRETTY FUCKING IMPORTANT CONSIDERING IT WAS THE BIGGEST ONE SHE DREW

▼: IT STANDS FOR 'ONE TRUE PAIRING'.

▼: AS IN SHE FUCKING ADORED YOU.

▲: NO SHIT SHERLOCK

▲: SO WAIT DOES THIS MEAN I KNOW WHAT OTP MEANS THROUGH A STABLE TIME LOOP?

▼: I DON'T KNOW. YOU FOUND IT, YOU'RE PISSED AND KIND OF REALLY SAD, AND YOU'LL SEE HER AGAIN SOON AND MAKE A TOTAL ASS OF YOURSELF.

▼: HAVE FUN WHEN YOU GET THERE.

▲: OH FOR FUCK'S SAKES

▲: I MEAN I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE LEADER

▼: YOU ARE.

▲: I SHOULD'VE KNOWN ABOUT THIS BULLSHIT BUT HERE I AM TYPING IN FRONT OF THE GOD DAMN THING

▼: JUST A PISS POOR ONE.

▲: YEAH DON'T FUCKING REMIND ME

▼: OH GOD YOU'RE STILL BY IT? GET AWAY BEFORE YOU HURT YOURSELF INSIDE EVEN MORE.

▲: THE FUCKING THING'S FADED IN HOW LONG IT'S BEEN SINCE SHE

▲: WELL

▲: YEAH

▲: ... FOUND THE STUFF SHE USED TO MAKE THESE TOO

▲: IF I WEREN'T SO SHIT AT ART I'D PROBABLY RESTORE THEM OR SOME SHIT

▼: FROM MY CURRENT KNOWLEDGE, SHE'D DRAWN THAT AROUND FOUR SWEEPS AGO IN YOUR TIME. AND YEAH I KNOW YOU WANT TO HELP, BUT SHE PANTS THAT SHIT WITH BLOOD.

▼: IT'S KIND OF CREEPY.

▼: BUT CUTE.

▼: BUT STILL CREEPY.

▲: WHERE THE FUCK DID SHE GET THE BLACK FOR THIS EVEN

▲: THERE'S ONLY ONE MOTHER FUCKER WITH BLACK BLOOD

▲: LAST I CHECKED

▼: YOU'VE SEEN HIS HONORABLE TYRANNY, RIGHT?

▼: YOU'VE SEEN HIS BODY.

▼: SHE IS METAL AS FUCK.

▲: YEAH

▼: A GOD DAMN BADASS.

▲: I FUCKING MISS HER

▲: SWEAR TO JEGUS THERE'S GOTTA BE SOMEWAY TO DRAG HER OUT FROM THOSE STUPID DREAM BUBBLES

▼: OF COURSE THERE IS DUMBASS.

▼: IT'S CALLED WAITING.

▼: FOR ABOUT FIVE MORE DAYS.

▼: THAT IS IF YOU GO TO SLEEP.

▼: THEN, LIKE I PREVIOUSLY STATED, YOU'LL TALK AND YOU'LL CRY AND MAKE AN ASS OF YOURSELF.

▲: WILL SHE BE BACK?

▼: ...

▼: NOT FOR GOOD.

▼: AS FAR AS I KNOW, SHE'S REALLY DEAD.

▼: BUT YOU CAN STILL MEET UP WITH HER SOMETIMES.

▲: THERE'S NO FUCKING WAY SHE CAN JUST BE COMPLETELY DEAD

▲: IF WE CAN STILL SEE HER IN THOSE DREAM BUBBLES

▼: THE CONCEPT IS HARD TO GRASP I GUESS. WE ONLY KNOW ONE ASSLICK WHO CAN BE LEGITIMATELY HALF DEAD. SHE'S ALIVE AS A GHOST AND BOUND TO THE DREAM BUBBLES OR WHATEVER.

▼: IF HER GHOST DIES, SHE'S GONE FOR GOOD.

▼: BUT SHE'S ALIVE AS A DEAD PERSON RIGHT NOW.

▼: IT MAKES NO SENSE, BUT THAT'S HOW IT WORKS.

▲: I'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING

▲: AND SO SHOULD YOU FUTURE ASSHOLE ME

▼: IT ISN'T AS IF I DON'T TRY!

▲: CONSIDERING ALL THE IMPOSSIBLE BULLSHIT WE'VE GONE THROUGH SO FAR DRAGGING A GHOST KICKING AND SCREAMING FROM A DREAM BUBBLE WOULDN'T BE OUT OF THE RANGE OF POSSIBILITY

▲: WELL FUCKING FANTASTIC

▲: I DON'T NEED TO GUT MYSELF IN THE FUTURE FOR BEING RETARDED AND GIVING UP ON HER

▼: WE ARE NOT GIVING UP. EVER. WE JUST NEED MORE TIME TO FIGURE OUT A WAY, THAT'S ALL. MAYBE GET HER A ROBO BODY OR SOME SHIT. COULD JUST DRAG HER OUT AND LET HER LIVE LIKE ARADIA DID.

▼: BUT THAT WOULD BE SORT OF COLD.

▼: NOT LETTING HER HAVE EMOTIONS.

▼: LIVING THERE LETS HER BE HAPPY.

▼: AND IF I TAKE HE AWAY FROM THAT, SHE'LL HAVE NO EMOTIONS.

▼: BUT I'LL HAVE HER BACK.

▼: WHICH IS PRETTY DAMN SELFISH.

▲: I'M HOLDING YOU TO THAT SHIT

▲: BECAUSE AS SOON AS WE FIGURE OUT ABOUT HER

▲: WE CAN FIGURE OUT ABOUT THE OTHERS

▲: MAKE UP FOR LETTING THEM ALL DIE LIKE THE IDIOTS WE ARE

▼: YOU KNOW, THE MORE YOU THINK ABOUT IT THE LES CONFUSING IT GETS. LIKE EVERYONE DIES AND GOES TO A DREAM BUBBLE WHERE THEY LIVE HAPPILY. BUT THERE'S SO MANY OF YOU AND I WHO FAILED AND ARE ALREADY THERE WITH THE OTHER HERS, ALSO DEAD. LIKE, WHO'S TO SAY SHE ISN'T ALREADY WITH ONE OF US THAT'S DEAD? WHO'S TO SAY IF WE DO FIND HER WE GET THE *RIGHT* NEPETA.

▼: HOW DO WE KNOW?

▲: FUCK IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER TO THAT THEN HOW THE SHIT SHOULD I

▲: AND GOD DAMN IT MAN YOU ALREADY *SAW* WHAT HAPPENED WITH KANKRI AND THE OTHER ANCESTORS

▲: THEY'RE STUCK LIKE TEENAGERS FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY

▲: THEY'RE STUCK THE WAY THEY ARE UNABLE TO GROW UP UNTIL THEY'RE COMPLETE ASSHOLES

▲: THE ONLY FEW THAT'VE SURVIVED ARE LIKE

▲: MEENAH, PORRIM, MAYBE ONE OR TWO OTHERS

▼: I KNOW THEY ALL COMPLETE TOOLS, BUT THAT WAS BASICALLY BY CHOICE. THEY'VE LIVED THAT WAY SO LONG THAT THEY'VE BECOME SOMETHING THEY'RE NOT. THE ONES WITH ACTUAL WILLPOWER CAN KEEP A PERSONALITY YOU KNOW. ONES LIKE HER. DO YOU HONESTLY THINK SHE'LL CHANGE AT ALL IF SHE LIVES ON HAPPILY FOREVER?

▼: YOU KNOW WHAT?

▼: THIS IS RIGHT ABOUT THE TIME WHERE I LEFT ME.

▼: SO I'M GOING TO LEAVE YOU HANGING IN A SEETHING ANGER BALL FOR A WHILE.

▼: BYE ASSHOLE.

▼: LEARN TO BE LESS OF A DOUCHE.

▼ HAS DUMPED YOU, CHUMP.
