do you have any tips on writing karkat dialogue? im trying to get a better feel for it

honestly... i dont know how to do it

like. i do it but i dont know *how*. idont even know how i got here

uh... 2 me all the trolls ring true as analogues of weird people youd meet on a forum.

you gotta imagine the kinda guy that goes on a forum n like. says shit about how important and busy he is irl, and highkey constantly wants admin so hard he like, enforces the forums questionable rulez himself,over dumb shit. tries to impress users he finds cool and authoritative. and all the staff find him annoying.

then add a layer of "overly candid teenage boy who doesnt get out much and cries all da time irl, unabashedly loves his friendz but cant say it with his mouth&eyes directly". the hopeful romanticism is crucial. he loves love. hes pathetic maybe. hes a fuckin guy. great at painting nose-wrinkling mental images.

i think the most important part of writing karkat is knowing when 2 be brief and when to write 1k words of rant. karkat knows how to listen and he also knows how to chew ur ear out.

also knowing the right amount of cusses to sprinkle in. you gotta get creative with the vocab, have fun with it yknow. dont just have him say fuck and stuff. its just too easy

im genuinely sorry i cannot give more meaningful advice than that. i hope thats... anything
