Aw, yeeeah, the time of the month I look forward to: Teasers! (Also wordcounts in general, in case something got posted and I missed it.)
YAY YAY YAY for more outside-POV Covalent!!!! (Is that enough shoutpoles? Maybe I should add more.) !!!! It had never occurred to me before that Karkat's neighbours probably get to hear a lot of very creative invective, given his shoutiness; that's adorable! And he must be kind of adorable, too, if nobody's shut him up after all this time. Adorable or at least entertaining.
I like the nod to his canonical hermit-ness, too, with the shock evident in his neighbour's "he has COMPANY! *le gasp*" response. :D Plus, of course, it adds incentive to listen; if something is unusual about it, all the more reason to pay attention.
The obvious friendship with the Trollian partner was cute, too - not every friend will just sit there and laugh while you liveblog random neighbourhood shenanigans at them, so. Yeah. I think these OCs are gonna be fun!
"Wait -- pirates? Well, fuck me twice, why didn't you say so sooner!"
Pfffft hahaha! ♥
PaleTriadNaughtiness: YEsssssss! *fistpump* Poor, poor Karkat, though; it hurts to see him forced into giving up his dream. (I take it, at least, he does not currently have a moirail?) Hope it won't be too traumatic for him, but I have a suspicion that it will be, especially if he's as much a romantic as he is in canon... Can't help that Dave&Bro are the real genuine pale article, *wince*. And I'm wondering what his impression(s) of Bro will be; I take it Karkat hasn't met many seadwellers? Oooh, just thought about this, but maybe we'll find out more about Dave's job somehow?
I snickered at the double-matesprit-intro, though. You go, Dave! And you tell 'em, Terezi! :D Karkat, there can't possibly be anything too awful in your life with those two there to claim you and defend you!
Oooooh, it's just sinking in: Dave's a little rustie, and Karkat is [as far as anyone knows] another small/young rustblood; what a pretty, 'helpless' pair they'd make next to a towering seadweller! Mmm. Somebody definitely needs to draw that. Yes. I can see why somebody wanted that pale-porno made, for sure!
...Also I kinda want there to be some lingering shots contrasting their horns, now, because while they're generally similar characters (Post-A young, lowblooded) the horns make for such a huge difference: Dave's swaggerworthy, stereotypically-rustblood headgear, and Karkat's little pitiful nubbins. (And if Dave gets to do any kinky horn-related things to Karkat, I might explode with joy...)
Why does "Karkat gets reluctantly molested" hit so many of my buttons? Sigh. At least he's going to be well-paid! Will we get any worldbuilding on the subject of wages, by the bye? I'm kind of curious how the pornography pay stacks up against Threshie pay|Dave's pay|typical pay for a rustblood in general|typical seadweller income!
