I think that if it's something huge though, you should share it? If I get my arm cut off or something, it's not like I could fucking hide that from you? Like. I do acknowledge that you shouldn't share every bad thought with me since those are your thoughts, I just think that if the mentioned thought is something that might fuck us both over, it is something I should know? I am pretty sure that is a fair thing to expect?

[ and honestly the... why should you care is more karkat being baffled at people just. caring about that kind of thing in general? like, he has always been fairly emotional when it came to his friends getting hurt, and while he thinks that some of the other trolls also felt that way, they never really showed it? maybe because they wanted to try to fit into a society that told them they shouldn't care too much because only the strong will survive and all that.

so. karkat is used to brushing off his own injuries? he might get overdramatic about it just for the sake of it, but he wouldn't expect anyone to react to it. it's weird. ]
