CA: oh my god really
CG: YEAH. I MEAN, IF THAT WOULDN’T BE WEIRD.
CA: fuckin hell i shoulda got gillpox prevvious if that wwas all itd take for you to accept my standin invvitation to come and hang
Review:
Eridan is suffering through a case of the gillpox, so Karkat decides to come over to help out, and they meet face to face for the first time. Things are going pretty well, until Karkat does the seemingly impossible and catches gillpox himself.
I love all the twists and turns in this, getting whiplash as they switch back and forth from sweet to violent, for fear of what the other will do now that secrets are out. Semi-delirious but determined-to-live Karkat is perfect here, and for poor Eridan, gillpox are suddenly the least of his concern as he comes to terms with his flush crush being completely off the hemospectrum. I also love the way Eridan navigates between "Do we have to kill one another?" angst and "Can we make this work?" hopefulness. It's a suspenseful and emotional ride.
