everyone always has sad humanstuck karkats with no family
I PREFER KARKAT TO HAVE A BIG EXTENDED FAMILY WITH GOD FATHERS AND AUNTIES AND ANNOYING COUSIN KANKRI AND A LOUD LEGALLY BLIND CRAB MOM WHO SEWS SHIT INTO HIS CLOTHES AND ADOPTS ARADIA AFTER HER DAD DIED IN A FREAK ACCIDENT AND THEY HAVE A VERY LOUD HOUSE
WITH BIG MEALS AT DINNER THAT EVERYONE ATTENDS AND KARKAT HAS TO SCREECH ACROSS THE TABLE TO GET SOMEONE TO PASS THE SALT
AND KARKAT IS VERY SWEET AND GETS HIS MOM HER FAVORITE CANDIES ON HIS WAY HOME FROM SCHOOL AND PUTS THEM IN THE FREEZER CAUSE THAT’S THE WAY SHE LIKES THEM
AND THEN KARKAT BRINGS JOHN HOME AND ISN’T SURE IF HIS FAMILY WOULD LIKE HIM UNTIL HE DECIDES TO TRY AND OUTPLAY SLICK ON THEIR GRAND PIANO IN THE LIVING ROOM AND IT TURNS INTO A PARTY
AND IT’S LIKE JOHN HAS BEEN THERE THE WHOLE TIME AND THEY LOVE HIM
AND WHEN THEY FINALLY GET MARRIED CRAB MOM DOES ALL THE HENNA DESIGNS ON KARKAT’S HANDS AND MAKES THESE SWEET HONEY DOUGH BALLS THAT ARE KARKAT’S FAVORITE
AND DURING JOHN’S SPEECH HE BASICALLY ADMITTED THAT WHEN HE MET KARKAT THE FIRST THING HE SAID WAS
DID THE CARPET MATCH THE DRAPES
BECAUSE HE HAS THIS FIERCELY RED HAIR AND DARK SKIN
AND THEN MADE A FACE THAT COMEDIANS USE WHEN YOU KNOW THEY ARE ABOUT TO SAY SOME SHIT
AND SAID
YOU BET YOUR ASS THEY DO
AND KARKAT’S FAMILY HAS HIDEOUS LAUGHTER IN THE AUDIENCE
KARKAT ALMOST DOESN’T KISS HIM AT THE ALTER FOR THAT ONE
HE WAS SO MAD
