Entry 21 [Video]

Been wondering this for a few days now, but...how the hell do these things breed?

[He indicates the pokemon, notably Marshall and Lily the Treeckos, who seem to be snuggling. There's also an egg in front of them.]

I mean, someone must've seen them do it, right? It happens all the time at home. And how do they lay eggs anyway? I mean, that egg is pretty much the same size as Lily. It's freaking me out.

[He stares at his pokemon for a little while longer before adding as an after thought]

I, uh, did it with the Joy in Ecruteak, by the way. Five Joys. I should be getting badges for that.

You know...like...batting for the other team?

[Shrug?]

What was that about a grub? That another one of your weird slang things?

Since when do teams have to do with hitting on people?

[Your earth slang goes right over his head.]

And no, I'm not using slang. I mean a literal mother grub. I know you humans don't hatch from eggs, but trolls do, which are laid by that. So I figured if eggs were involved... but I guess not.

It's kind of hard to explain.

[And he's trying to work out too many things here so yeah]

So you came from an egg?

[Yeah, that might have been all he got from that conversation]

Can you just tell me what the point you're getting at is?

[Because it's gone right over his head.]

But technically, no. I came from some weird as fuck paradox slime through some stupid game mechanics that I don't care to explain. But normally, yes, trolls hatch from eggs.

Okay, well, you suggesting that I'd hit on you made me wonder if you were gay. Because I'm not, so I wouldn't hit on you.

[After a moment]

Huh? How about that? Sounds like an interesting story to hear sometime.

What the fuck is "gay"?

[SORRY, TRY HARDER.]

And what? The egg part or the slime part? Because long story short, I'm my own clone, who I cloned myself, that got sent back in time to be my past self and eventually grow up to be my then-current self who was doing the cloning. And if you can't understand that, I'm not going to bother trying to make you get the details.

Uh, it's when you're attracted to someone of the same sex. Yeah.

[There's a pause as he works that out.]

No, I think I got it actually.

[Blink.]

You mean a homosexual?

[Then he makes a frustrated noise.]

Damnit, why do you humans have so many fucking ways to say that? How is it even a thing? It makes no fucking sense!

Yeah, exactly.

I don't know. People just prefer the innuendo and stuff I guess. The whole language is like that. English anyway.

[Karkat heaves a sigh.]

We have our own slang and things, but it's still fucking weird that you have so many words for that.

But if you really have to know, trolls don't really have any weird cultural hangups about what gender the other person is. But if you're not a homosexual, whatever. I only even said the don't hit on me thing because other people fucking bombarded me with it before, and it's fucking weird.

[Can't handle this swag, man.]

Seriously? That is weird.

I know! I've barely spoken to some of these people, never even met one, and they go on about this past relationship stuff past me supposedly had with them. Or else go shipping me with whoever like it's their business in the first place who I fill which quadrant with.

[He's assuming that's what Barney meant, anyway.]

Well, maybe some of them just wanted to reconnect with you or something? But it is weird that you're being shipped.

Bluh. I guess. It's still pretty fucking awkward for me, though.

Yeah, I'll bet. Was it with someone you didn't like?

It's... complicated. Two I'd never even spoken to before, one of which I, yeah, had a negative opinion of, and the other I didn't know at all. But that guy, the trouble is he didn't piss me off enough. He's boring. And then this other guy is a total fucking ass, so there's no fucking way I can imagine having the feelings he says I did.

That is really weird. What are you gonna do about it?

I don't know! Deal with it, I guess. Tell them to fuck off if they get too damn clingy. Beat them in the head with a Pokéball if it comes to that. I'll figure something out, and the details aren't really your business anyway.

Nothing you do is ever my business. I'm usually just trying to help, bro.

[Karkat eyes him a second.]

I'm definitely not going to object to that, so keep it up.

Seriously?

Yes, seriously. Why the fuck wouldn't I be glad that someone, for once, is agreeing to not pry into things I don't want to be pried into, while also agreeing to help where it's needed? That's actually kind of helpful.

Well, I'm glad that I could help out then.

[He'll be prying into your business at some point. Don't worry.]
