WHAT FOUL AND MERCILESS ENTITY ROLLED OUT OF THE SPECIES APPROPRIATE SLUMBER APPARATUS AND DECIDED TO INVENT TIME
WHY, IN THE NAME OF ALL THINGS, DID THIS ASSHOLE INSTILL INTO LIVING BEINGS THE CONCEPT OF THINGS HAPPENING BEFORE AND AFTER EACH OTHER
AND WHY DO I HAVE TO BE AFFLICTED WITH THIS WHEN I'M NOT EVEN A FUCKING TIME PLAYER.
WAS IT NOT ENOUGH TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE ENDLESS STABLE TIME LOOPS HOLDING THE SHODDY STICKS AND TWINE OF OUR TIMELINE TOGETHER?
WHAT ABOUT THE FLUX OF PEOPLE BACK AND FORTH FROM DIFFERENT SPOTS ALONG THAT LINE LIKE BACKWASH FROM AN ILL-CLEANED MOUTH INTO A SOULMELTING BOTTLE OF FAYGO???
WELL I GUESS THE FUCK NOT, BECAUSE HERE I AM BEING FORCED TO DEAL WITH OVER FIVE YEARS WORTH OF MEMORIES LAID OVER THE TOP OF EACH OTHER LIKE PARADOX SPACE DECIDED TO MAKE A PARTICULARLY AWFUL SANDWICH OUT OF THEM.
SAID SANDWICH HAS THEN BEEN FORCE FED DIRECTLY INTO MY THINK PAN
I AM OVERSTUFFED WITH RECOLLECTION AND REMEMBRANCE
MY BRAIN WOULD VOMIT IF IT WERE PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE. CONTEMPLATE THAT FOR A MINUTE.
OR HOWEVER LONG, I DON'T FUCKING CARE ABOUT THE UNITS, AND NONE OF IT WILL APPROXIMATE THE SCREAMING HEADACHE CURRENTLY DECIMATING MY CRANIAL UNIT.
COULD I NOT HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS IN EASILY DIGESTED PIECES
WOULD THAT BE SO FUCKING HARD TO DO.
SURE, SEND ME BACK A COUPLE HOURS THAT FIRST TIME, BUT NO! YOU SCIENTIST NOOKMONGERS JUST *HAD* TO GIVE ME THE FULL THREE YEARS.
WHO CARES THAT I WAS ALREADY 15 AND A HALF IN EARTH YEARS, I OBVIOUSLY NEEDED THE SQUALID, STULTIFYING EXPERIENCE OF LIVING SOME OF THEM TWICE! PLUS AN EXTRA FEW MONTHS!!
SO UNTIL MY SPONGE STOPS TRYING TO CANNIBALIZE ITSELF (ETA: NOT FUCKING SOON ENOUGH), DO NOT EXPECT COHERENCY FROM ME
BECAUSE I CANNOT EVEN SORT OUT THE SIMPLE CONCEPT OF "YESTERDAY" FROM THE FESTERING REMAINS OF MY OWN THOUGHT ORGAN.
YESTERDAY MEANS TOO MANY THINGS RIGHT NOW.
YESTERDAY CAN FRANKLY GO FUCK ITSELF TWICE IN A BRAND NEW ORIFICE I'VE JUST INVENTED FOR IT.
ALL I KNOW IS THE LESS I SEE OF POSSESSED PSYCHOPATHS AND THEIR WEAPONIZED CUTLERY, THE BETTER.
SOMEONE TELL ME HOW MUCH TIME HAS PASSED SINCE I DISAPPEARED AND WHO'S HERE, BECAUSE I CANNOT EVEN CARE TO CHECK THE LIST RIGHT NOW.

Mom is Mom! You took me to her, remember?

[Also she's taking the SFC with her as she walks down the hall to the bathroom. She'll be plugging the drain and turning on the water as she talks to Karkat some more.]

Where'd you go? You missed the Exe- the Exca-

[She stops for a moment to try to remember how to pronounce it.]

The Ex...e...cu..mation?

[bethehugejerk]

[Karkat's lower right eyelid has started to twitch.]

I'll remember when my shitheap of a think pan cooperates, which the way things are going will be who the hell knows when. I do not care about any exe-whatever word your tiny mouth can mangle, and I do not give one single shit to explain to you what happened while I was gone. I was in my world, that's all you get, now stop bothering me before my patience snaps and slaughters the both of us.

You're grumpy.

[So she's putting anassload of bubbles into the bath she's making. Because bubbles always make her feel better so maybe they'll make Karkat feel better too.]

What's in your world?

[video]

[bethehugejerk]

[It's the bubbles that make him realize what she's doing. His fangs bare.]

Did you not fucking listen to me, you pan-stunted earth wiggler? Stop! Fucking! Bothering me! It is a simple concept of shut your blathering word hole, turn off the SFC, and screw off! My brain has been fucked dry by the ghost of Vatheon past. The three awful years spent shuffling around that asylum called a meteor are not something I'm going to divulge to you, not now, probably not ever, because it's more than I care to explain to some stupid brat!

AND STOP FILLING UP THE ABLUTION TRAP!

[The yelling finally gets to Yotsuba, and that last loud bit startles her enough for her to accidentally drop the SFC on the floor. Then she starts to sniffle a bit, because even if Karkat is an adorable little troll his yelling it still scary.

She ends up running out of the bathroom, leaving both the SFC and the running water on.

But hey, she's not bothering Karkat anymore at least?]

[video] he'll be better in the future eventually :<

[Sorry, Yotsuba, but dealing with a headache from too many memories crammed into too little time does not leave him amenable to dealing with a young child. He doesn't even concern himself with the fact she's left the SFC on and the water running; if she floods the bathroom, it's her own fault. He just cuts the conversation and focuses on something else.]
