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. ]

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.

[appraiser]

lol yeah, i am very much alive
and i intend to stay that way

[alienates]

I mean
I am pretty sure you are not on any hit lists, so I am sure you will be able to manage that goal just fine.

[appraiser]

people don't have to get murdered to die
but thanks for the vote of confidence! see? it's love

[alienates]

IT CAN'T ALL BE LOVE

[appraiser]

it's not
but most of everything you show me is
i can't help that

[alienates]

Maybe....... you are biased and are reading too into it?

[appraiser]

hmm maybe
being biased towards love isn't a bad thing though
so it's fine

[alienates]

There is a joke in there somewhere about how someone who is biased towards love saying being biased towards love isn't a bad thing is a great example of them being biased.
Toward love.

[appraiser]

lol

@ the joke, although i don't really understand it
it's better than the alternative, isn't it? being biased towards people *not* loving, unless it is explicitly shown or said

[alienates]

I guess
I don't usually assume that most people are that loving.

[appraiser]

you're surrounded by loving people though
there's your friends and family
and Anya
and me

[alienates]

[ this is the fastest karkat has ever been adopted in his entire life ]

When you say it like that if I said anything to the contrary I would sound like the biggest asshole that the universe ever spat out.
