Mostly because I'm a Karkat role player and I really liked how accurate that dave breakdown was, could you do one for Karkle Sparkle?
0;B I gotchu
I’ll just make an “If You’re Writing Karkat” post
-Jesus Christ guys Karkat doesn’t cuss every sentence unless he’s super upset or frustrated chill out
-Going with that, Karkat uses really,,,,colorful language. Be creative lol. If you go back and reread some of his logs, there’s a lot of wild gems in there.
-Karkat is loud. Not because he’s always angry because he *ISN’T* he is NOT always angry!! He’s just passionate!
-Also going with that, a lot of the “anger” is a protective mechanism. Just like Dave, Karkat puts up a mask and persona for other people. It’s much more common knowledge now but yeah, Karkat has a mask he hides behind to protect himself and it’s become an ingrained part of him. At most, he’s usually just slightly annoyed with everyone.
-He cares about everyone. A LOT. All that frustration and anger? It’s there because he is genuinely really really concerned for everyone’s well being. He blames a lot of everything on himself, so he tries really hard to help and protect his friends because he figures they deserve it and since he’s doomed and terrible anyway, he may as well try to help them so that he has *some* good (though it definitely doesn’t help his self hatred)
-He literally grew up constant fear. He had to take care of his lusus and his lusus sure didn’t take great care of him. While this is a bit more because of troll society, we see plenty of lusi that help and care for the trolls. Where it’s a mutual relationship. Karkat had, essentially, a neglectful lusus. Combine that with the fact he had to meticulously hide himself at the risk of instant death, not even able to be himself to his friends, and you get a loooot of severe issues manifesting.
-I’m really sorry I would write more but a)it’s a lot harder for me to explain my thoughts about Karkat than it is for Dave and b)I keep zoning out and not focusing soo have this for now. One day I’ll try to make a better one
