Karkat Vantas shared a photo. 3/24 near Apprassage

You are goddamn welcome, everyone.
At least now, no matter what kind of a shitstained day you've been having, you can say you saw newborn kittens.

[ timeline-wise this is a little later in the afternoon, so like for high schoolers it'd be after school ends for the day, etc. ]

The love you part.
That has been officially banned from here on out, we have just virtually shook our hands over this.

[appraiser]

...i won't take back a promise, but
that's such a shame, no other words encompass the emotion as fully and directly as love

[alienates]

Well
It's really embarrassing to hear??
How is it possible to just throw around I love yous like that??

[appraiser]

it's pretty easy?
here, you can try it on me

[alienates]

lafkslfksalfjsls;jfs
We are not having a practice session!

[appraiser]

( •︵• )
we could do it in person, that might be easier

[alienates]

You could literally look me in the face and say that without your bowels immediately imploding after the first syllable?
In person would be a lot more mortifying, dude.

[appraiser]

yes
the first syllable is "I"
you can do it
i believe in you

[alienates]

I know what the first syllable is!!
Look, I just said it there. And I did it again.
I am a goddamn master of the first word of this sentence.

[appraiser]

good! you're doing great, Karkat! keep going!
next syllable is "love"!

[alienates]

[ at this point karkat is just feeling challenged?? he needs to prove himself here. ]

LOVE
Shit, I'll bring in some Spanish.
AMOR
Wow, look at that!!!

[appraiser]

[ karkat is exceeding all of ryoji's expectations today and he is delighted ]

don't forget the conjugation
it's "amo"
¡te amo!

[alienates]

I know it's te amo!!

[appraiser]

see, it's not that hard to write out in spanish, is it?
english is just three words instead of two
though i guess "love you" also works

[alienates]

Ok but not everyone knows Spanish here.
You could say it and probably get away without people knowing what the fuck you just said to them.

[appraiser]

lol so it's okay in other languages?
kocham cię, Karkat! Seni seviyorum!
i think people would be able to figure out by context

[alienates]

Not if you're really subtle.
Wait
How many languages do you even know?
Or do you just for some reason know how to say I love you several different ways?

[appraiser]

i'm not sure how many? sometimes a language has different dialects too if that counts
but "i love you" is one of the most important phrases to know in any language
one should be able to say it in as many ways as possible!

[alienates]

Hahahahaha ok
I have come to the conclusion that you have to be some kind of cartoon princess?
You have to be.

[appraiser]

expressing love isn't limited to cartoon princesses
anybody can do that
you know "i love you" in English, and in Spanish too
sharing your cats is also a display of love

[alienates]

????
Do you mean a display of love for my cats?
I hope that's what you mean.

[appraiser]

your cats
and for everybody else
isn't that why you posted in the first place? to cheer people up if they're having a bad day
and doing that without thinking, that's love

[alienates]

[ karkat takes a moment to wonder how did this conversation even happen. ]

I wouldn't say it was for love.
It just felt like the thing to do
I guess
Don't go telling people I am doing acts of love

[appraiser]

[ cats... then immediately hard left into love, it was a two step process and here we are ]

lol alright
i don't think i have to say anything though
i think they already know how much you care

[alienates]

Every time I think I cannot get any more embarrassed from this conversation you prove me wrong yet again.
I might as well call you M. Night, except instead of the plot twist being that you were dead all along, it's just more love.
