YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS SCHOOL?

WELL NOTHING, ULTIMATELY THIS PLACE IS A FESTERING VOID OF TEEN DRAMA AND BULLSHIT, SO IF I WAS BEING HONEST, I'D ONLY ACTUALLY LIKE THE CURRICULUM, BUT EVEN THEN THE LEVEL OF HOMEWORK PISSES ME OFF.

NO, NO. WHAT I *LOVE* ABOUT THIS SCHOOL, IS THAT IT MANAGES TO MAKE A COMPLETE AND UTTER SHITFEST OUT OF ONE OF THE MORE ENJOYABLE HOLIDAYS OF THE YEAR.
IS IT REALLY SO MUCH TO ASK TO WANT ONE HOLIDAY WHERE SOMETHING DOESN'T GO COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY TITS UP, WITH SNAKE EGGS THAT CAN OOZE LOVE POTION PHEROMONES ON NEARLY EVERYONE IN SCHOOL? BECAUSE I'M REALLY STARTING TO THINK I'M GETTING MY HOPES FAR TO UP FOR THIS CRAP AND ONCE AGAIN THEY COME SPIRALLING DOWN INTO EITHER NAUSEATING DISPLAYS OF AFFECTION TO SOME MATCH UPS THAT ARE TOO HORRIFYING TO EVEN CONTEMPLATE WHEN IS I WAS TO BE COMPLETELY OUT OF MY MIND HIGH.

NOTE TO TEACHERS: THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME.

YOU KNOW WHAT? FUCK THIS PLACE, NEXT HOLIDAY I'M JUST NOT LEAVING MY BED, I'LL JUST SLEEP THE DAY AWAY.

im not evven goin to comment on the happenstances thatvve occurred but i am goin to say this in regards to all of this bullshit drama

it is a school for teenagers kar

[candycrabapple]

WE HAVE MORE DRAMA THAN A FUCKING HOLLY OAKS EPISODE, SO DON'T GIVE ME THAT SHIT.

ACTUALLY I'M SURE TELEVISION COMPANIES COULD COME HERE AND ACTUALLY GET NEW AND FRESH MATERIAL FOR THEIR SHITTIER-THAN-LIFE SHOWS. EVEN WITH ALL THE MAGIC THAT OOZES OUT OF THIS PLACE IT WOULD PROBABLY BE MORE BELIEVABLE.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE ALL THIS LOVE POTION PISS ANY BETTER. ESPECIALLY AS I ACTUALLY ENJOY VALENTINE'S DAY.

[littlefairybull]

i THINK THAT IS PROBABLY,
tHE BEST IDEA,

[candycrabapple]

DO YOU EVEN PAY ATTENTION TO THE WORLD AROUND YOU, OR I DON'T KNOW, DUMBLEDORE'S LECTURE? SOME OF THE SNAKE EGGS ABSORBED SPILT LOVE POTION, YOU MIGHTY DILLHOLE.

WOULD IT KILL YOU TO PULL THE CLOTH OUT OF YOUR EARS NOW AND AGAIN?

[candycrabapple]

THANK YOU SO MUCH, FOR DOING THE INTELLIGENT THING AND ACTUALLY AGREEING WITH ME.

[littlefairybull]

gOOD THINGS NEVER HAPPEN,
sO SLEEPING IS, a FAR MORE ACCEPTABLE COURSE OF ACTION,
aS LONG AS THE DREAMS TO BE HAD ARE FUN,

[candycrabapple]

WHY DO I GET THE FEELING WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A TALK RIGHT NOW?

[littlefairybull]

uH,
aRE WE?

[candycrabapple]

WELL FROM THAT LITTLE BIT OF PITTY THAT DRIBBLED FROM YOUR MOUTH, KIND OF SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING BOTHERING YOU.

NOW, SURE. I DON'T TAKE DIVINATION, BUT I DON'T REALLY NEED IT TO FIGURE OUT YOU COULD USE A FUTURE THAT HAS SOMEONE LISTENING TO YOUR SHIT.

[Pause. Ink splatter.]

oh fuck

[candycrabapple]

FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING FUCKING HOLY, PLEASE TELL PROTECTION WAS INVOLVED.

[Not that Karkat jumps to conclusions around Gamzee.]

[mo_cara]

AgAiNsT wHaT?

[Sorry, Karkat, Gamzee is way too distracted by the fact that the dude he likes and has liked for years, who finally hooked up with him, was only doing it because of magic snake egg love.]

[candycrabapple]

AGAINST YOU GIVING PEOPLE DROPSY OF THE GOD DAMN COCK.

SO, WAIT. YOU HAVEN'T HAD BEEN MAKING OBSCENELY BAD DECISIONS UNDER THE POTION?

[littlefairybull]

i gUESS SO,
i JUST, uH, tHINK THAT,

[candycrabapple]

OF COURSE THEY FUCKING ARE. ALL THEY DO IS PROVE HOW PATHETIC AND SHIT-DRIPPINGLY DESPERATE THAT THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN GET LOVE IS TO FUCK WITH SOMEONE'S HEAD.

[candycrabapple]

COURTYARD. NOW.

[He closes the journal and heads out to the courtyard.]

[mo_cara]

[And not too long after, a gloomy Gamzee joins him, slouching, with his hands in his pockets.]

I think I fucked up real bad, best friend. [confesses immediately]

[candycrabapple]

[Crossing his arms, Karkat frowns at him.]

If only I could be fucking surprised. Seriously? When I hear people talking about fucking up, I think of you. Alright, so what did you do this time and does it even make it into the top five?

[mo_cara]

[briefly confused look] Uh ... maybe? I guess if it depends on personal top five fuckups or, like, in the whole motherfuckin' world.

I, uh ... I thought Tavros had a thing for me. [scratching the back of his neck, under his hair, and sighing] That he'd, I dunno, suddenly gotten into me even though he turned me down before. I guess it weren't to smart to think that, but he really acted like it, you know! And I was so motherfuckin' happy ...

[littlefairybull]

iT IS, uH,
nOT JUST THAT THOUGH,

[candycrabapple]

THEN WHAT? WOULD IT KILL YOU TO GET RIGHT TO THE POINT, JUST ONCE?

[candycrabapple]

[He sighs as well.]

Not in the top five at all.

You know, for a guy who's always getting himself into the most supreme amount of trouble for illicit activities. You're more than quick enough to believe something without too much in the way of proof. You do know this, right?

I know that I would be suspicious of anyone who just suddenly started flirting with me or asking me out, that's for god damn sure.

[littlefairybull]

tHE FIRST TIME, i GET TO FEEL WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE LOVED BY SOMEONE,
aND ITS ALL FAKEY FAKE SPELLED AND PRETEND,
