i have complex feelings about it but in td when karkat is actually like fully integrated, he is much more static because the story is... Less directly affecting him? hes there as Dave's Boyfriend largely

#Shitpost #it doesnt help that like plot wise hes literally an accessory #and im sort of. Like. Its On Purpose?#i feel a little bad about it lmao but in a way its also like. To me.#like. How its going to be when a character (metagamer nonetheless) ends up on an adventure that wasnt intended for him #hes literally Not Supposed To Be There #and hes only there because 1. Actual Coincidence 2. His Aspect (which is used to foil him and Hal)#and 3. Because i realized Dave would need a support and Karkat made the most sense for reasons 1 and 2 #because if i had no karkat dave would struggle way more in ways that dont assist the story #In my original concepts i was going to have a 'this universes karkat' but doubling the trolls was going to be too much work #so i just uh. erased them instead and decided no trolls in side A #what happened to them isnt the story and i dont want to make room for something unnecessary #(see: me keeping calliopes game offscreen even though i do know it)#(Shes playing darts by herself :) )#Anyways. Karkat is Important he just is like a secondary cast member #And sometimes i feel bad about that but if he wasnt the story would get too crazy lol #and its already too huge haha #Not tagging with the fic tag because idk
