turing-tested:

people in 2018 really are out here thinking that because karkat yells and is angry he’s not healthy for Dave when in reality none of Dave’s triggers or beating were accompanied by anger or yelling but instead by cold unreadable silence. dave absolutely benefits from someone who yells and broadcasts their emotions so wildly, just. he really wasn’t abused through anger, the absence of emotions is what really fucks him up, and karkat couldn’t hide an emotion if he were wearing 15 masks
