on Karkat

[xparrot]

Okay, in some short time from now I will make an honest attempt to pimp Homestuck, because I think actually quite a lot of you might enjoy it for a variety of reasons. But that will wait until I'm entirely caught up, which I'm not yet, because Act 5 is looooooong. (also that this page made me laugh hysterically for a minute straight says things about my sense of humor, none of them complimentry.)

Right now I just have to mention that at present, a good 50% of my Homestuck reading experience is me going (sometimes aloud):

OH KARKAT I LOVE YOU!!!

WAIT WHYYYYY DO I LOVE YOU WHEN YOU ARE SUCH AN OBNOXIOUS OBSCENE PATHETIC LITTLE TROLL AND HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT TO HIM/HER AND I'VE CHANGED MY MIND, I DON'T ACTUALLY LIKE YOU AT ALL BECAUSE YOU ARE SUCH AN OBNOXIOUS OBSCENE AND SO, SO, SO, PATHETIC AND CONFUSED AND DAMAGED LITTLE...

...

...WAAAH KARKAT I LOVE YOU!!!

Ahahahahaha. That is pretty much me exactly OH MY GOD, KARKAT, WHY ARE YOU MY FAVOURITE? YOU REALLY SHOULDN'T BE! XD

How much further do you have to go? I swear it took me two weeks and there were days where I got next to no sleep because I was sitting up reading for so long.

(also it has come to the point that pretty much any page that does the THIS IS STUPID! makes me laugh far, far, far too much. I will apparently never get tired of it. Ever.)

THIS IS STUPID

I'm right now in the middle of Jade entering the game - so I think I'm nearer to the end than the beginning? I hope? I'm not as far along as I might be because I keep deliberately avoiding starting reading unless I know I have a significant chunk of free time, otherwise yeah, Other Things I Should Be Doing do not happen ^^;

And Karkat, ayiyiyi...he's so obnoxious and dumb and generally horrible, but the way he raises self-hatred to an advanced performance art makes me pity him to the point of love. And every time I think he's crossed a line of unlikeability, he invariably straightens out for a second and starts desperately apologizing, because he's really not that bad a guy, he just really badly needs a hug. And trolls are not very good at providing hugs. (I want him to be diamonds with John, because there's no troll stable enough to be able to balance him, and Karkat needs a moira-whatever so bad...!)

I hope you do pimp post it, because I am like this much *thumb and forefinger about a centimeter apart* away from committing and reading it. (DESPITE HAVING REAL WORK TO DO.) Simply from the fact that I accidentally read some good fic because Homestruck is trending like mad on AO3's bookmarks.

...Yeeeeah, one of the reasons I was interested in reading it is because so much fic for it was turning up on AO3. (which I now completely understand, because the trolls have one of the most complicated relationship dynamics arrangements I've ever encountered in fiction, and that's practically irresistible to fen, relationship junkies that we are!)
