I LOVE HOW YOU INNATELY PICKED MY MOST HALF-ASSED TWO STUPID PEOPLE HAVE ADVENTURES WIP.

(but it's okay, just you get the snippiest snip rather than a good chunky snip)

You are DAVE STRIDER, and you got the kind of look in your eye that says either daddy didn’t love you or daddy loved you a little too much. This look is only recognisable to others who share it. Sometimes you think you see it reflected in Karkat Vantas.

⇒ no hell no be anyone the fuck else

Too late. You’re twenty now. No going back.

⇒ end up in bed with everything that looks at you funny

If there's a reason for so much Dave in these comments, it's because I give up early on account of not being able to write Dave.

but thanks for the flattery <3

I will post two snippets from this one, like the fic lottery you never wanted. So prepare to get more like a "snipchunk."

Early interpretration of the meaning of treason does, of course, stem from our past of legislacerative rule wherein Alternia historically only waged fair war. Due to the Empire’s practice of invading all ( ... )

The problem with the Great Ironic Strider-Pyrope Roadtrip was twofold: firstly, that there was no shitty roadside attraction so tacky that neither of them would go for it.“Barbed wire museum,” said Terezi, through a thick mouthful of red licorice. They’d dolled her up in a Marilyn Monroe headscarf and big glittery sunglasses, and a coat of foundation that wouldn’t fool anyone except fortunately the type of person who’d populate their backwoods road trip. In the back seat were bottles of water and boxes and boxes of shitty off-brand candy, camera stuff scattered more liberally than the changes of clothes they’d bothered to bring. “Next exit.

I know you deliberately asked for the one with the most HTML.

i know that is a weird thing to start off a letter with, but it is pretty much the most important. but you would’ve done the same, me! well actually you wouldn’t have and the fate of everything rests on that but the point is that i think you would understand. this game has a lot of really dumb rules but it doesn’t get mad if you manage to break one. it just doesn’t understand.

i was just really tired of friends dying and i was really tired of my friends of friends dying and then there was dad

then there was dad. and

you know it’s funny you hear about some kids and their mom’s not there any more and their dad’s not there any more but they might as well be kids who live on the moon or in brazil because you think well, that is someone else and it doesn’t happen to me that kind of thing never happens to people really dads don’t actually die except simba’s in the lion king.

newsflash: it totally fucking happens, john egbert.

scoops up heart

It is the most gruelling story to write, but it is John And Karkat's Insane Apocalyptic Adventure Complete With Them Crashing A Meteor Into A Gigantic Space Snake And Also They Hold Hands Tragically A Lot.

I have to finish it just for them crashing a comet, but it's me being unbelievably overwrought.

MORE EXCLAMATION POINTS; they work as legal tender around here.

I am going to rename this chapter to Eridan and Rose Talk For Like Four Thousand Words Goddamnit

“I want to parley,” he said doggedly.

“Parler, to speak,” said Rose, with eyes closed and a dry tongue. “Forgive me if I take a moment to marvel over an alien from another universe knowing his parlez-vous Français.”

“We made your universe, pinkscarf. You’re a glubbin construction a us, not the other way ‘round. I want to make like a gamblignant and fuckin parley.”

There was a strange slurredness to his w, a soft Germanic v, but otherwise his English was as flawless as a British newscaster with years of elocution. One allergic to gerunds. It was disappointing how close to banal humanity their aliens were: but there were enough differences to make a faint track through to the valley uncanny, such as the strange frills decorating the sides of his face. They gave him the look of some grey teenaged dilophosaurus. “So outline your proposal. I’m on tenterhooks ( ... )
