do you want the short answer or the long one because the short is

uh

pretty bad & absolutely not ^^;

[THIS IS SURPRISING AND UPSETTING NEWS. Who hurt you, Anna, he'll show them the mean end of a sword.

The mean end of a sword is the pointy end that hurts people.]

why what happened

[...Oh. Wait. Does this have to do with the stuff Elsa said? Shit. Okay. He won't show Elsa the mean end of a sword. ANYONE ELSE, THOUGH. RARRGH!]

[ AREN'T ALL ENDS OF THE SWORD MEAN...... ]

okay the long is i don't

entirely remember everything that happened which is part of what makes me so upset about it, stupid trolls!!!! >:T but more or less what happened was things were actually pretty good up until a certain point, but one night my sister and i were playing in the foyer doing our thing, y'know, as kids do

and there was an accident and i hit my head kind of hard and it looked bad

now here's where things get a little wonky

my parents in their infinite wisdom go to these trolls who are like "okay she's gonna be fine but we're gonna take away all of her memories because for some reason it's better that way (question mark?)" and my parents are like "well clearly the solution here is to separate anna and her sister for their entire lives (or at least until she can learn how to control her ice powers properly)"

now keep in mind i'm like five so i obviously don't get any say in this AT ALL and no one bothers to tell me what's happening because y'know why would they, i have no idea what's going on, i don't know if it's something that, like, I'M responsible for because one day my sister's playing with me and everythings normal and the next she won't even LOOK at me let alone open her door to talk to me about it all because my parents think it'd be better to keep us apart

it wasn't my sister's fault or anything of course!!! i don't know why my parents thought it'd be a good idea to basically keep her locked away from me but well that was my life for the next 13 years and as if THAT wasnt bad enough they closed the gates to the castle down and got rid of all the staff so no one could get in or out of the castle unless there were special circumstances so i was basically a prisoner in my own house/castle and let me tell you

a castle's nice

when you have to see the same walls for 13 years though i swear you think you're gonna go NUTS

and THEN my parents passed away in an accident at sea so i didn't even have THEM to kind of make it a little better

so this whole time i'm basically like "wait wth (what the heck) i'm a princess one day my prince will come, that's what happens in all these fairytales!!" but then i meet him at my sister's coronation and he's a

what's the most royal and sophisticated way to say "butthead" there must be a more colorful way that's still appropriate for a princes--you know what i'm not a princess here and he was a DICK

BUT THAT'S NOT CHILDHOOD ANYMORE SO REWIND JUST A BIT but i didn't even know there WAS an accident until recently so i basically spent that whole time thinking that like I did something wrong so that was Special and the WORST part THE ABSOLUTE WORST PART is that my sister STILL THINKS ITS HER FAULT like I CAN DEAL WITH LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE but my sister STILL feels guilty about it and just

UGH

[Whoa.]

holy shit

[Princess Anna used a bad word! Okay, no, that's not even the important part of this. Christ, where does he even start.

(All the talk about castles clenches around his heart, for some reason. Tall towers and roosting birds, so close to the sun you think you might burn.)

Anyway.]

yo youre right thats completely fucked up
like
was she really locked up away from people too??
your sister i mean

I think so????
I don't really remember, it was a long time ago.

I don't think I was sad??

Why?

Were you??

i

im trying to figure some stuff out
because whether i was sad or not i told myself a bunch of things that might notve been true
about what was happening and how i felt about it
so im looking back and seeing if i can pick out what actually happened and seeing how other peoples lives compare might help me identify what was weird about mine
does that make sense

[That's...a lot more complex than he thought it was gonna be.]

I hope you find what you're looking for!!!

but you need to remember what's normal for some people is weird to other people, you might get a lot of different answers!!!

yeah i know
thats why im asking everyone like this because ive been made aware what was normal for me was probably nonstandard in my own culture let alone everyone elses weve got in this crazy world
having a lot of different information to pull froms just good statistics

[ BLAME HER POTTYMOUTH GF SHE'S RUBBING OFF ON HER ]

neither of us so much as spoke to anyone outside the castle for pretty much 13 years it was

It was terrible I'll be honest there's no other way to really describe how lonely that is until you experience it but as bad as it was for me I can't imagine how it must have been for her and I still feel like awful about it because neither of us deserved that but especially not her

that sounds like a lot of work.

REmember to take plenty of breaks and pet your Pokemon!!!

Are you going to make a graph??

Before or after becoming a vampire, because the before was kind of okay but I was still pretty happy, and when I became a vampire it got a lot better in some places but not in others?

thats so messed up
you shouldnt have had to be ALONE thats awful
and they should have fucking explained things to you!
i dont get it what good ever comes of not telling kids stuff it never works out well ever

pffthaha omg
shit i dont know should i
im not sure what kind of graph here would work best like a pie chart or what

uh
both i guess??
if you were still a kid when you became a vampire

Well, some people think I'm still a kid, so I think we're good!

ANYWAY! Yeah it was really great! My mom was so nice when she was around, and then when dad came along, he adopted me and turned me and let me have my own room in this great castle and I could buy whatever new fashions I wanted! Plus he's SO nice and sweet and the best dad ever.

RIGHT?! like omfg why couldn't they have just

told me

we could have worked something out as a family why did the whole thing have to be a secret if we worked something out together we definitely could have thought of something better than making her stay in her room and keeping us locked away but i just felt so like

betrayed by them i couldn't believe they would do such a horrible thing even if their intentions weren't necessarily bad i just

i dunno i just can't stand that they kept something like that from me let alone the entire kingdom, and i can't stand that they left both of us in the dark and so alone for so long

alone in our own house, we couldn't even support EACH OTHER like how messed up is that?!?!?!?! i'm sorry i didn't mean for this to turn into the "anna's life was a bit of a mess power hour"

that
that does sound really great
i mean minus the turning thing which like ok i can believe being a vampire could be fun but the turning process sounds basically abjectly terrifying and awful

no its ok i mean i literally asked
didnt even think about it like a dunce i mean this has all got to be hard to talk about right
i just kind of
look is it ok if i keep asking questions about this stuff
i dont want to bring bad things up for anybody
thats not cool

[... So, it's even more obvious that your moirail is playing anon when you can see him typing away on his Gear at the same time those responses are going up. Just saying. And, considering what Dave has been asking... yeah, Karkat can see why he hadn't been consulted on this immediately. How do human childhoods even work, he hasn't the faintest clue.

Wordlessly, after several more seconds of internal debate, he leaves his own perch and pads over to Dave's side. He's not the best at being unobtrusive (understatement), but that doesn't stop him from trying as he settles in at his moirail's back and fidgets with his own Pokégear.]

Difficult. I didn't get out much. It was too dangerous.
I was afraid.

[Oh my fucking god, Karkat. Dave can feel him type, subtlety is not a thing that is taking place here on any level. He turns his head to say something, but the response stills him, and he just reads it, breathes out slowly, and responds.]

dangerous huh
did you have someone to protect you

[Dude shut up he's silently conveying his support whilst making it clear that Dave doesn't need to actually talk if he doesn't want to, it's very thoughtful and fuck you??? God, first the chair, now this.

And... right. That.]

I had someone, yeah, but there was only so much they could do. We would have both been in trouble if it came to that.

yeah, go right ahead, i wouldn't have responded if i didn't want to vent a little bit about it i mean this is kind of a lot to get off my chest but

i'll answer whatever you wanna know

did

[Ugh. This is a lot harder when Karkat knows it's him, even though it's Karkat, even though it's not like Karkat's gonna judge him for anything he asks. Even though Karkat's barely got any frame of reference for why this is so hard for him. He doesn't know what he'd do if Karkat did. Maybe he would never have asked in the first place.

He swallows and leans a little more against Karkat.]

did you like them
did they make things less scary
like at all

then um
ok about your parents
like
youre mad at them right
i understand theyre gone now but
do you hate them for what they did even though theyre not around to be mad at

i'm definitely upset with them but i could never ever hate them i mean they're my family and they were just trying to do what was best for my sister and me

the way they did it might not have been the best but their intentions were good, that said i'm LIVID not just because of the locking us away thing but also because like

this all happened because they wanted my sister to keep her powers a secret but

thats like denying a part of her exists and its an AMAZING part of her that i can't believe anyone would want to hide
