True meteorstuck is Dave earnestly trying to make friends with Karkat for 3 months straight with some but very minor results until Karkat blows up one day and has a moment of vulnerability to which Dave responds with “you’re valid but also chill the fuck out, you’re over complicating shit.”
Which is like the coded message that flips the kill switch in Karkat’s brain, his thoughts on Dave going from “he’s a dick and I’m ambivalent to his thinly veiled attempts to get under my skin to” to “OH YOU’RE MY FRIEND???YOU’RE MY BEST FRIEND?? WE’RE FRIENDS?? I’D ACTUALLY DIE FOR YOU???”

if i ever go on a fantasy adventure with people ive just met the FIRST thing im going to do is set out what everyone’s skills and stuff are. and like, figure out a rough plan on how to do the thing. pool everyone’s knowledge. i am SICK of fantasy protagonists who have no idea what they’re doing even tho theyre supposed to be competent and sensible
