hi again everyone!
so ive learned a bit about valentines day
and in doing so ive found its celebrated differently in different places? :o
and also in some places like japan
theres a corresponding holiday called white day!

so anyway my question today is do you celebrate valentines
and if so how
just out of curiosity
with absolutely no ulterior motive whatsoever

also exactly how many human holidays are there because so far there have been rather a lot of them my goodness
its almost like theres a holiday for every month
and there are at least five ways to celebrate each one
i think i need a chart

I said I probably shouldn't be giving advice!!

[ look she's good with adventures and flarping and dead people and breeding pokemon these days, this sort of thing is none of those. ]

Although the soda thing still stands. That's how you met, right?

You have been dead for too long, girl. The guy is obviously still gunning for either a red or pale quadrant and you shoot him down like that? Of course he's going to be a petulant assfairy about it. He only killed you after all.

[ forget his problems. he's pulling his own hair over yours! ]

Technically Vriska killed me via Sollux! I don't blame him for that. Or her. I mean, I did blame her a long time ago, but I never actually blamed him.

[ NO SHE PREFERRED HIS PROBLEMS, THEY WERE LESS TROUBLING. ]

And I just didn't want to assume! Or, well. [ no really can they go back to Karkat's problems ] We should talk about something else. Like soda, or Valentine's. Or eggs! Did I tell you that I'm trying my hand at breeding birds?

You didn't want to assume, so you went the other way when it was pretty obvious that he was being put out by the conversation... Really. I thought that you held some iota of intelligence in that think pan of yours. Honestly, you're the one that knows him best.

Besides me, I guess? But you do know him better than I do.

[ NOT TAKING THE BAIT, GURL. ]

[ CAN THEY GO BACK TO WHEN KARKAT YELLED AT OTHER PEOPLE WHO WEREN'T HER, THAT HAPPY TIME OF LIKE FIVE MINUTES AGO

ugh ugh ugh. Obviously he's not letting this go. ]

I knew he was upset, I just - didn't connect it until I went and found him.

In retrospect, it was a really, really stupid thing to say, okay?

It kind of was and I'm glad that you can admit to it.

Just fix it.

I'm trying!!

The problem there is that Sollux doesn't know what he wants to do, anyway, I think.

...This is turning out to be akin to a book I read once.

I never read romances! Or watched them.

[ sort of regretting that right now tbh it might give her more to go on when people flip out or travel partners have romantic drama ala Jake. ]

Do I want to ask how it ends?

Maybe you should start.

You'll be happy to know that they ended up in a quadrant together. The problem is that it was painful for both parties and everyone involved. Naturally the movie invoked the most comedic and heart wrenching ways to pull it off...

When it would have been so much easier to just figure it out instead of avoid it.

...But there aren't a lot of action scenes. [ Wow that's the most petulant she's ever sounded here. But they're so boring. ]

I did try to talk about it, but it's Sollux. Have you ever tried talking about feelings with Sollux? [ and if so how did that go. ] ...Anyway, I'm not avoiding it! I'm just. Leaving it alone.

[ that's COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. ]

Usually it requires a more depressive mood to get Sollux really going. Or we both act like bulge fondling retards and fell bad afterwards.

I normally don't manage to upset him like this!

I mean, I sort of did when I was dead, but that was different.

Welcome to the real world, Aradia.

Everyone manages to upset him that much at some point or another.

Yes, well.

What are the odds that giving him a valentine would make things worse? Because I've already started getting everyone cards.

...You know I'm going to chat with him now, right?

...I don't see how you can actually make it worse than I did.

[ And since in Sollux's next entry they stop speaking, that's saying something. ]

Might not make it any better.

I don't want to lose one of my best friends, but I sort of feel like that's what's happening.

...Anyway, you can do whatever you want.

You're not losing anyone, Aradia. This shit won't tear you or Sollux apart. Not permanently.

It's one of those bumps in the road of life. One that hasn't been paved over yet.

Maybe!

Anyway, let's talk about you instead. Please?

Sure. Like what.

What are you going to do about your date?

Oh! And are you sending out Valentines? [ She sounds a bit peppier on this topic. It's distracting, anyway. ]

I was thinking about it. Just some chocolates.

First thing is that I need to get my suit adjusted. We're going to use the gift Rose gave us. As for what else, I don't know. I'm stumped.

Last year I did this ring thing, but... I don't want to do that for Vanitas.

I think it sounds like a fun way to celebrate!

What do you mean last year, though? [ she never heard about the Eridan thing. ]
