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. ]

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.

[appraiser]

lol that's because there's nothing to the contrary to say
people love you
so don't be afraid to love them back

1/2

[alienates]

I'M NOT

[alienates]

I mean
I'm not afraid of something like that.
It's just very aaahhhhhgghhhhh

[appraiser]

aaahhhhhgghhhhh = embarrassing?
it doesn't have to be to a person, you can practice by saying them to your cats, to start

[alienates]

That's also embarrassing but for a whole different set of reasons.
Is there going to be an exam on this after?
I have to successfully pass all of the love hurdles in order the graduate.

[appraiser]

lol
the final exam is me! you have to say it to me
