Kepler claims that the person he was before Goddard no longer exists, but it is so obvious in everything he does that he used to be a theatre person: it's in his Shakespeare quotes, in the number of improv games he knows, in his love for the sound of his own voice, in his construction of identity as something performative, in the voices he does when he tells a joke, etc.

3. What was the last book you finished?

neil gaiman’s norse mythology!! dude that book is frickin FANTASTIC i love its mix of ancient storytelling and snappy modern humor, i.e. the whole “but. my hammer.” / “shut up, thor.” / thor shut up. exchange. also UGH gods are not human they are not often kind!! they are petty and violent and unknowable and gaiman captured that perfectly-- loki, for example, is both/neither victim/villain. it’s lovely.

the man so desperate for acclaim, appreciation, to be seen as smart and heroic, died doing a thankless job that no one will remember him for

the man who so proudly gave away his humanity, the artist formerly known as warren kepler, died telling rachel that he is a person, like everyone else

the man with a million long stories, a million daring feats and big heroic plans, made his last plan as simple as sabotaging the pulse beacon relay

the man so unwaveringly loyal to goddard futuristics and cutter’s bigger picture, turned away from goddard’s biggest picture of all to protect his own idea of the good of humanity

the man who, though he did not admit it, was terrified of dying, welcomed death with a drink in his hand

kepler’s arc was handled So Fucking Perfectly

Karkat and Kepler are on opposite ends of some kind of spectrum.
