[ he wants to argue that of course it can be a person. he isn't really sure if he was in love with terezi or not, since he was younger and, amazingly, more emotional back then than he is now. but she made him happy, even when she started pulling away after they first discovered the humans, and until she pulled away completely when she very suddenly rekindled her relationship with vriska.
he still has no idea how to feel about that, honestly. and dave is the one who made him get over that hurt. and, okay, perhaps karkat watches and reads way too much romantic media and that is kind of fucking up his opinions here? when you spend hours doing nothing but absorbing stories that tells you romantic love is the be all and end all of everything, it sort of makes you believe in it a little? or a lot.
the problem is, karkat spent almost his entire life trying to fit into the alternian picture when he is, really, not a very good troll by troll standards. and then he was thrown into the game, where his primary focus was beating it. and then, then when he finally had real time for himself, on the three year trip on the meteor, karkat was basically attached to dave's hip for the entire ride.
so. trying to figure this out now, on his own, is a little troubling. ]
You're actually a great leader. I can tell just by getting bossed around by you all the time.
