if another troll were here one of the non shitty ones anyway like maybe kanaya or fuck i dont know even terezi or one of the dead ones they could goddamn tell him the business because i refuse to believe karkat vantas did anything wrong
i mean yeah we all kind of had one troll we were closest to and karkat was hers but she didnt live with them for three years like me and rose did so she just doesnt have as much exposure it might not work out
oh they can reconnect here at least? or I'm not sure what to tell him but maybe then you have the best shot at making him feel something other than this
ashley im not good at feelings shit for maybe obvious reasons what im saying is circumstances have left me the emotional range of a decapitated chicken i dont want to make it worse for him with my clumsy ass empathetically stunted bumblefuckery
I don't know Dave I'm kind of trying to do that myself figure out how to not be that but god dammit we're just fucking teenagers this isn't fair we shouldn't
okay okay okay okay he does he ever talk about this stuff with you? all this bullshit about this Gamzee guy?
not really? sort of a little but hell i dont know ashley theres just so much that happened to us and i already made him cry trying to help with other shit last week
it it's hard but shit I don't know I'm just trying to go off what I DIDN'T do so healthy communication that that's supposed to be how to help but if it just upsets him more
oh my god im actually the least qualified person in the world for this shit fuck maybe ill just wake him up at the first fart of dawn and get him to cry it out again he seemed to think that was a legitimate strategy last month
well i dunno if this is the road to fixing him or if thats even possible for us at this point but doing what youre doing? thats already pretty damn good he likes you a lot i know he does and speaking for myself its really nice to have friends here
