John Discusses Karkat's Quadrants In Anapestic Tetrameter
I heard that there's someone for whom you're really pale:
That's Gamzee, and that would make you his moirail.
'Cause when he's not zoned out from gross sopor slime,
He needs someone to calm him and keep him in line.
And you're the best person for that there could be;
It's okay if you don't fill that quadrant with me.
Trolls think it's romantic for three to react
To keep hateful feelings from turning to black
And if you were fighting with too many guys
Kanaya would eagerly auspisticize.
So although that one space might be technically free
I don't think you'll be filling that quadrant with me.
I know you once hated me in that special way
That leads on to makeouts; maybe that'd be okay.
But I know Dave is having the time of his life
Getting under your skin with his words and his strife.
He says I'd never hack it, and I have to agree,
It's alright if you don't fill that quadrant with me.
At least there's one quadrant in which I can find
A romance that's more like the plain human kind.
But I don't think you'll flush for me any time soon;
We all know your habit of making Tez swoon.
You guys have a tension we can easily see
It's okay if you don't fill that quadrant with me.
So maybe I'm not over here throwing confetti
Realizing your quadrants are filled up already
But if I ask for your friendship and say pretty please
Would you try contracting this human disease?
As two co-friendleaders, it's serendipity
Will you be friends outside the quadrants with me?
