I'm getting really tired of these 'change your history and personality' events. I put down a vote that next event be one of those 'tear out your organs while you're awake' events, I think I prefer those. Who is with me?

Also it goes without saying that I was an obnoxious fucking asshole, like pretty much all highbloods, I guess. Feel free to take issue with it, not least because out of all my many flaws, I never thought that would be one of them.

I can't imagine what they must have done to you for you to prefer having your organs ripped out while you're awake to watch them do it. Feels like a bit of an exaggeration, to be honest. I'm sure your real friends will forgive you for anything you did or said.

[crusthatecean]

I don't like seeing the person I would be.

It wasn't all bad, fine. But some of these have been fucking awful. Maybe you're happy with yourself and think you're a swell guy and that happens to be true in every universe. But not everyone can be just so well-adjusted and great.

[busy_fists]

Nobody's perfect, Karkat. But nobody has to be, either. I don't know about your life and I'm sure you probably don't care to tell me about it either, but beating yourself up all the time and getting all stressed out over every little thing that happens is no way to go through life.

[crusthatecean]

You're right.

I don't care to tell you, or hear about it.

[busy_fists]

Thought you'd probably say that.

Well, I suppose I can't force you.

[crusthatecean]

I thought I was dangerous and your son should stay away from me.

[busy_fists]

Well, he can't get much farther away than he is now, can he?

[Being droned and all.]

...Besides, I thought maybe I was a little too harsh before. If John thinks you're worth being friends with, there's got to be a reason for it.

[crusthatecean]

Okay. Well, I don't care.

[busy_fists]

Fair enough. I'm sure you've got a lot of important apologies to make, so I'll let you go.

[crusthatecean]

Yeah, fine.

Well, I'm sorry Egbert is a drone and never coming back.

[busy_fists]

Thanks. So am I.

[crusthatecean]

That was a sarcastic apology, for your information, but it really does pretty much suck, although I guess their session isn't as worthless and dead end as ours. Maybe.

[busy_fists]

If anyone can find a way, it's John and his friends.

[crusthatecean]

Yeah, I know that.

John's an idiot, but Jade isn't.

[busy_fists]

Well, he might surprise you someday.

[That's all he's really going to say about that. Apparently mutual snarking is how John and Karkat get along, as far as Dad's been able to understand from talking to both of them.]

That Dave kid they know seems pretty sharp, too. And I know Rose has a good head on her shoulders.
