#cause that means their frienship didn't have enough weight to even be part of the pros and cons

[knights-unwelcommentary]

That one conversation Karkat and Dave had where Karkat was worried Dave would ditch him as soon as his real friends John and Jade were an option was framed as Karkat being unreasonable and overcomplicating things but he has first hand experience on that happening.

When Sollux stopped hearing voices he couldn’t leave fast enough and he didn’t even leave for a better life, he just went to fuck around with the horrorterrors and dead people so he could hang out with Aradia. Karkat entered the game thinking there was a chance his friends would attack him if they found out his blood color but I think Sollux was the only one he trusted not break up their friendship because they were both mutants and they understood each other on a different level, but even that was too much to hope for

Karkat’s reaction at that was a little subdued but the conversation with Dave shows pretty clearly he’s been stewing on it for three years to the point he’s internalized that anyone will leave him at the drop of a hat and there’s nothing he can do about it
