    Summary

    There’s something so insidious about it. Trolls can die from pailing, have died from pailing, but it’s a comparatively quick affair with the possibility of death ideally consensual on both ends. But this is a torture that not even the Empress could dream of.

    DAVE: and then you gotta raise em for eighteen years but i mean hey now you got—
    KARKAT: IT’S MY FAULT. IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF ME.
    DAVE: w
    DAVE: what

    Or: Dave gives Karkat a crash course on periods and pregnancy, and Karkat has feelings about it all.

    Summary

    You are DAVE STRIDER and in your fetch modus lies the FUNNIEST SHIT YOU HAVE EVER BORE WITNESS TO.

    You’re slamming the door behind you the moment you make it to your room. How did you even pull that off? You thought he’d notice at some point in the recording process, or the burning process, but no. No, of course he didn’t. He was completely oblivious the whole time. Two minutes and 40 seconds of ignorance. A whole track. You access your fetch modus, and hold the resulting item in your hands.

    This is glorious. This is history. This is a triumph for humans and trolls alike.

    This is a pressed CD containing Karkat Vantas singing Hellfire from Hunchback of Notre Dame.

    Summary

    Jouno is cold.

     

    His tongue is his biggest weapon, and he's not afraid to use it in ways that are morally questionable and enjoy it.
    Manipulation, intimidation, torture of many kinds, it's the tactic he's learned to live by.

     

    Jouno is also a great deceiver.

     

    He's an excellent actor, spewing lies left and right in a blink with a flawless poker face.
    He constantly hides behind a mask, a fabricated version of who he is to never let anyone know his true intentions, always keeping the target second guessing.
    He's become so good at it, that he ended up losing himself in the facade, forgetting that he ever had a heart in the first place.

    But no matter if you think about it or not, a heart doesn't stop beating.

     

    Or:

    Tecchou falls into a coma after the vampire incident.
    Jouno is forced to finally face the feelings buried deep inside his heart.

    Summary

    “Guys, hey, come on,” Jade says. “Troll language is much more specific about stuff like this, when he says stabbed he could mean something different! Karkat,” she switches to Alternian, bending her human vocal structures in painful-sounding ways but still doing a much better job than Dave, all things considered. “Stabbed, stabbed, or stabbed?”

    You know you didn’t teach her the distinction between “poke hard with a non-strife-allocated object”, “stab lightly to show somebody not to fuck with you”, and “impale to kill”. Humans don’t even have that distinction. It’s a fucking miracle they get anything done.

    “…Stabbed,” you say, carefully enunciating like a fucking liar.

    It's always awkward when the boyfriend meets the friend group; the boyfriend's boyfriend inviting himself along can only make it worse. Unless, of course, you're an amateur xenobiologist, sociologist, and linguist. Then it's just extra data!
