THIS IS INCREDIBLY FUCKING SILLY

[schellibie]

So let me tell you a tale of how I spent over 12 hours on my painting final in one day, and then at 2 AM, meredyd  and I compiled a list of songs that John would ridiculously sing to Karkat.

Actually wait, that is the entire story.

So, I have to man up and admit that when cephiedvariable and I listened to this, we nearly lost our minds. So unfortunately I am going to plague you with our DVD commentary while we listened. This is what you get punished with for making fanmixes.

CV: OH MY GOD THIS FANMIX
CV: JOHN MADE THIS MIX
tZM: ISN'T IT ADORABLE
tZM: it has "i'm a believer"
CV: OH MY GOD THIS MIX
tZM: JOHN MADE THIS MIX AND IS SINGING EVERY SONG TO KARKAT
CV: I KNOW
tZM: AND IT IS
tZM: UTTERLY PRECIOUS
CV: DANCING AROUND MAKING AIR MICROPHONE

tZM: I love how he's not even listening to what John's singing
tZM: even though John picked the songs for their lyrics
tZM: very carefully
CV: I WAS DEFEATED, YOU WOOON THE WAAAR karkat, this one is from your POV btw
CV: you should pay attention!
CV: troll love is about fate, right!

tZM: oh my GOD

tZM: karkat ignoring JITTERBUG!
tZM: MY BEST FRIEND TOLD MEEE WHAT YOU DID LAST NIIIGHT

CV: John is dancing to Jitterbug
CV: by doing that thing when you roll your fists
tZM: YES
CV: he's walking backwards and doing that
CV: Karkat is mashing his keyboard he's so annoyed
CV: and by annoyed
CV: I mean charmed
tZM: he's trying not to fall in love with john over again
CV: it sounds stupid in his head, but it's such an exquisite mixture of pity for his idiocy and pure hatred of his wide eyed innocence and oh
CV: oh what's that other feeling
CV: is that the human disease known as fondness

tZM: JOHN
tZM: THIS FANMIX IS GETTING
tZM: SEXIER
CV: LOVE GAMEBUSTERS
CV: dfkjhdsfkj
CV: Karkat actually starts listening to the lyrics here and turns bright pink
CV: EGBERT WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS FILTH.
tZM: john's like ~_~
CV: And John's like JUST WANNA TOUCH YOU FOR A MIIIINUTE

tZM: this mix
CV: DON'T SPOIL
tZM: keep going

CV: This mix is getting sexier. John is picking out the songs he wants to lose his virginity to
tZM: oh my GOD
CV: in a few years maybe
tZM: *HOWLING*
CV: but plant the seeds early
CV: Gotta make sure Karkat is good and adjusted with these songs
tZM: THIS ISN'T A FANMIX
tZM: THIS IS JOHN EGBERT'S LOVE LETTER

CV: FFFFF
tZM: OH MY GOD
tZM: OH MY GOD
CV: DFBGDFGHDFKJGHDFKJHGDFKGHDFKL
tZM: OKAY KARKAT IF YOU DON'T JUST BREAK DOWN AND SLOWDANCE WITH HIM WHEN HE SINGS "STAND BY ME" TO YOU I
I DON'T EVEN KNOW
CV: he does ok
CV: but it takes a bit
tZM: john does the thirteen year old prom thing
tZM: karkat's arms at his neck, john's arms at karkat's waist
CV: dfdkj
tZM: awkward shuffle
CV:: karkat daaaance with me
CV: FUCK NO
CV: THE CHANCE OF THAT HAPPENING IS THE SAME NUMBER AS THE TEMPERATURE IN THE OUTER ATMOSPHERE WHICH IS TO SAY BELOW ZERO
tZM: karkat! dance.
CV: but darling darling stand by meeee. :D
CV: He yanks Karkat out of his chair, but you can't force the willing

tZM: this was the most beautiful fanmix in the world
CV: I know
CV: it was
CV: tears in my eyes

[schellibie]

HAHAHHAHHHHHAH OMG I AM DYING
you guuuuuuuuuyyyysss

i am so glad you picked up on OUR EXACT INTENTIONS FOR THIS MIX WHICH IS JOHN MADE THIS. HE MADE THIS FOR YOU, KARKAT.

most of these songs were Mer's fault and I was just CRACKING UP DYING every time she sent them to me

except Love Gamebusters which was entirely my fault and I will not apologize for ART.

eta:

Mer said that the four of us should have a ridiculous shipping friendship double date or something. I am not opposed to this.

[urban_anchorite]

I am dying because CV hasn't seen the Dave/Terezi one yet and I can't listen to it without her.

Never be upset about Love Gamebusters. I can't even listen to it without imagining John giving Karkat a knowing smile he thinks is sexy as he rocks out to the Ghostbusters backbeat.

[schellibie]

Oh you guys are in for a treat, that one is possibly even more ridiculously stupid.

are you in the game, karkat? the LOVE game?

[urban_anchorite]

Mer said that the four of us should have a ridiculous shipping friendship double date or something. I am not opposed to this.

This is like the best idea. We should all get fandom coffee.

Only I would be embarrassed to admit how talking about the fanmix immediately lead to CV and I talking about a scenario where John is bragging about his and Karkat's beautiful fanmix teen love to a Dave who hasn't yet convinced Terezi to be his girlfriend. It was the best scenario ever.

CV: EVERYTIME THAT I LOOK IN YOUR ANGEL EYES
CV: I CAN'T GET OVER THAT LINE
tZM: JOHN THINKS THAT IS SO SWEET
CV: YOU ARE GOLD AND SILVER
CV: see dave, it's like me and karkat because he is actually gold and silver, ha ha ha
CV: he's going to love this mix i made him
tZM: what
tZM: you made him a what
CV: duuh a fanmix.
CV: about our love.
CV: john get out of my apartment
tZM: just go

[schellibie]

This is like the best idea. We should all get fandom coffee.

how do you do this, I forgot how to make new friends on the internet :(

OH MY GOD THAT IS THE MOST HILARIOUS SCENARIO EVER i am laughing so hard i had to read it out loud to my one friend here who ships john/karkat ahahahahah

[urban_anchorite]

If you really need to read it I will choke back my shame pass it on. It has Dave having "double leukaemia."

how do you do this, I forgot how to make new friends on the internet :(

I think it mainly involves us all drinking coffee at our desks and high-fiving the monitors. You bring your moirail, I will bring my amoirail.

[schellibie]

wait what you actually
wrote this......
put it in my eyes

let's make shit take place.

[urban_anchorite]

It is mainly just me and CV outlining how it would go, but Ceph is really funny so it is worth it for that.

where doing this bro

[schellibie]

It is mainly just me and CV outlining how it would go, but Ceph is really funny so it is worth it for that.

the request of putting it in my eyeballs stands

so... do you guys have AIM or anything? this could be an exciting summertime activity

[urban_anchorite]

We totally do AIM. I am zippy plow and you should so say hi if you ever have the desire to.

[schellibie]

mine is.... wait for it....

schellibie

also feel free to message me because oh boy i am super awkward!!!

[meredyd]

YES PUT IT IN ALL OF OUR EYES

Karkat loves Troll Hugh Grant, A Red Romance Starring A Washed Up Male Pop Star And Neurotic Female Lyricist/Plant Waterer, With Several Complications Due To Interpersonal Awkwardness and Conflict, Twelve Original Musical Accompaniments, And Age Gap That Isn't That Bad If You Really Think About It is one of his faves.

[urban_anchorite]

THAT IS THE BEST TROLL MOVIE TITLE. I am applauding you with a single tear in my eye.

This is a terrible log

I WON'T CRY, I WON'T CRY!

[meredyd]

Oh man, so, the saddest/(greatest??) part of this entire venture is that these songs just popped into my head, I didn't even have to think about it that much. Shelby was just HEY CHEESY LOVE SONGS and it was like I had been WAITING for that moment my entire life.

And as it got later and later things just...disintegrated...

Anyway I am glad it brought you dudes as much joy as it brought me.

Re: I WON'T CRY, I WON'T CRY!

[schellibie]

i won't forgive you for not letting me include Sweet Home Alabama

john would've included it

he would have sung it soulfully

/forever unironically loves that song
