Oh my god, why do you turn literally every single conversation back to quadrants, I seriously do not have the patience for this.

[ he could tell eridan that ruka puts up a front and is in fact one of the most fucked up people besides himself that karkat has ever met, but he is too loyal to his unspoken sworn secrecy on that matter to go through with it. ]

I am not trying to move in on the diamonds with her, as you put it, because get this, the diamonds are not a thing she has. You see I, unlike you, am not enough of a total dumbshit to go around conducting moirallegiances with aliens who can't even grasp alternative concupiscent quadrants for what they are, let alone the conciliatory ones. Furthermore, you're just trying to change the subject, and direct attention away from the fact that you put your supposed girlfriend through so much unadulterated agony that I was tempted to knock her unconscious just to spare her the misery.

Stop making excuses and own up to the fact that you fucked up.
