I'm not. Also screw you back?? I just figured it'd be easier on the parental figure if I helped out with expenses. Because I can be, surprisingly, a nice guy!
Okay, never said you were an asshole, though you're probably also capable of being an asshole.
( as he believes most everyone is, so it's just meeting expectation at that point. he's self defeating and doesn't know or particularly care. as far as parental figures... he gets that better than saying "parents." screw parents. )
Yeah, well. That's a given. You help support whoever raised you.
Dude, tragic backstories can range from a lot of different things. Someone getting their favorite bike stolen on their 11th birthday and swearing revenge against all bike thieves can count as a tragic backstory.
Not really. There are a lot of people who come from backgrounds that the majority would consider "tragic" but the person themselves are so accustomed to it that they'd just shrug it off. So it might just be a matter of perspective, I guess??
( karkat makes sense and that just irritates yuri so )
Okay so how's this: I'll matter of perspective not ever think about your past that I do not know as a tragic backstory, do the same for mine This will then never be an issue
I'm genuinely glad we are both going to leave this conversation with this newly found knowledge about ourselves. You're welcome for aiding you in this self discovery.

Not always.
I'm sure there are plenty of kids out there who probably won't need to get a job until much fucking later.
Shit. That sounded bitter.

Be as bitter as you want, you're talking to a 'kid' who lives on his own. You don't need to tell me how it is.

We're not going to actually exchange them.

( meaning general you, but hey, English isn't great for that kind of differentiating in text. his backstory!!! is far from tragic, it just. is. )

I just learned about something really crazy.
It's that you don't have to take every single word in my sentences literally.
no subject
And I'm remembering not to text while sleep deprived, what a day
