My mom's dead and I'm not exactly close to my dad so not really. I was more worried about my friends? And it wasn't in an, OH NO WHAT IF THEY DON'T LIKE ME ANYMORE way, they were just assholes and I was worried they'd use it against me someday.
[ his mom died when he was in kindergarten so he is not as upset as he would be if it were more recent. lots of years to get used to it. ]
Oh of course they fucking did. They were assholes. I'm pretty sure I could have told them I got a leg amputated in a horrific car accident and they'd still find a way to make fun of me for it.
[ How dare he follow up with a completely logical question.
Boy there sure is a super long pause. Like, overly dramatically long. Like, maybe Yosuke threw his phone and pissed off long. The kind of long that implies your S.O. might be busy doing someone else. ]
idk ive just been thinking i realized i didnt really know how thats supposed 2 go so yea
Have you been wondering about it after you found out about Yu?
[ that sounds like a simple and reasonable question, but little does yosuke know that karkat had to rewrite it like ten times because he kept doing variations of "ARE YOU BISEXUAL" "DO YOU LIKE GUYS" "HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO KISS YU" ]
[ it's honestly killing him not to be more direct here and he has to keep reminding himself that he doesn't want to accidentally fuck up yosuke and yu's potential romance by rushing shit. ]
i guess it depends on who u know bc it seems like it should b a big deal in some respects but 2 u it just isnt and not that i like dont want my friends 2 b into whoever theyre into i get that just idk it shouldnt b a big deal right?
I don't think it is. But I guess to a lot of other people it's this huge thing and there's a shit ton of reasons for it that we could get into. Soooo Why would it be a big deal to you?
idk i thought id care more if i knew someone that was but i dont? i guess bc u know someone b4 u know that part of them and its like oh theyre the same person they were b4 so thats chill mayb its just harder when u think about what other ppl might think about u
[ it honestly would have been very easy to miss and think nothing of if yosuke didn't immediately freak out about it.
karkat shouldn't judge because he would have reacted the same way if their roles were reversed, karkat judges anyway, because he's an hypocritical asshat. ]
Yeah!!! Of course that's what you meant, dude! Why would you have any other meaning hidden behind those words you just typed at me!!
LOOK IT IS OK yu was worried i was upset about it so what if other ppl would be upset about it like someones parents??? like maybe if it were me my dad wouldnt want 2 talk 2 me again
idk thats what i guess tho its not the kind of thing we talk about we dont talk much in general since he works all the time but hes kind of old school in some ways u know? even after moving here
Well you should probably talk to him about it at some point. I don't mean right away or anything but whenever you think you're ready. Especially if he's never made you explicitly think that he'd flip a fucking truck over it or something so you never know.
Ok yeah sure. Completely hypothetical. In this hypothetical situation, by the way, which would be worse: Knowing that your dad may or may not be disappointed in you or living a terrible, shitty lie.

[ Though let's be real, Yosuke is totally known for giving shit to people he cares about. (Does harassing Karkat a bit count? maybe.) ]
no subject
The whole lack of Retrospec thing makes it hard as shit to talk to people without it.
Anyway so why are you asking me about this.
i like the name courier mean
its kind of the new thing around here
[ No one can tear instagram from him, though. Not even Retrospec.
Wait. Shit.
How honest is he going to be with Karkat, let alone himself? ]
