a lot of people have been rooting for the karlnapity wedding but i'm actually kind of grateful for this conflict/misunderstanding/pseudo breakup(?) they're going through for several reasons because

c!quackity got ENGAGED with them one (1) day after c!schlatt died, and while their thing had been over for a few weeks, it's painfully clear that c!quackity wasn't over how he'd been treated during c!schlatt's presidency (evidenced in his meeting with glatt)

and so entering into a romantic relationship a day after his ex died was. a little too fast

also throughout doomsday and the days leading up to it, he's repeatedly said that he didn't trust anyone but himself (including his fiances)

even though he obviously loved both c!karl and c!sapnap to degrees in which he'd make entire nations for them (and they loved him back just as intensely)... they've never really TALKED about any of their issues or their past

i believe that their engagement period was sweet and genuine but also ultimately on some pretty shaky foundation. they can't healthily be together romantically until they grow as people... but with c!quackity's arc in healing in tandem with slime's death and that first attempt at reuniting on c!sapnap's part, i can see it happening: karlnapity actually learning how communicate with each other... if this gets pulled off correctly i genuinely believe they could be one of the most solid romantic relationships i've seen fold out long term
