( steals popcorn that she's holding, ty anya )

who are they anyway
is office work anything like this
wait is the


deporting to canada
oh no someone call the mounted force
time to pick up one of their own
SERIOUSLY, CANADA?

[constellates]

[why has anya turned into a snack holder]

nyc hollywood version
but not in hollywood ?
or maybe is

this plan to avoid going back to canada does not seem well planned
but it is a romcom
which is why we are here

[she legitimately turns her head to look at karkat]

[alienates]

It's probably not in Hollywood.
It's actually a lot cheaper to film in other places. That's why you see people filming in Toronto a lot.

[ KARKAT TRIES VERY HARD TO IGNORE HER GAZE shut up ]

Most plans in romcoms are terrible. That's where the comedy aspect comes in?
Since plans in comedies are god awful in general.

[catsudon]

( now he's staring at Karkat from the other side of Anya too, hello Mr. Romcom )

that's kind of hilarious if they're actually already in Canada filming a movie about trying to avoid being deported to Canda
Cana
CANADA

so you're our romcom consultant
do most romcoms also rely on technical illegalities to function
or is that part of this movie's joke
you know this probably would go down better if the states didn't hold love as the important reason to get married
call it a business transaction
that's legitimate
still sucky for the guy
actually now im just mad how is any of this fair
corporate bullshit in personal lives eugh

[constellates]

bye bye i am going to canda

yuratchka do not call marriage a business transaction
stop it
i feel like you are always mad at love
they are both good people
that is how romcoms work

[alienates]

Let's rent an apartment in Canda I heard the prices are great there.

And it is a common trend in romcoms that one part of the couple is less moral than the other one, but through time and the power of mutual attraction, they eventually turn into a better person who is worthy of love.
And I am sure there is a tragic backstory involved here.
See said she didn't have parents so there's got to be something there.

[catsudon]

split rent three ways im down

all of this
all of this is why I don't normally watch romcoms
mutual attraction drives personality changes yeah that makes sense
"worthy" of love
fuclk that
*fuck
also
who willingly lives in alaska

[constellates]

an apartment in canda
cozy !

yuratchka is so jaded at 17
love can make people want to be better?
also
there are auroras in alaska !
beautiful
i would live there

[alienates]

All the snow will kind of suck though I guess.

Also it's not like COMPLETE personality changes.
It's more like their love lets them tap into a part of themselves that they have been ignoring for whatever reason.
I am fairly certain that their time in Alaska together will let her realize a side to herself that isn't so work orientated.
Also isn't there barely any daylight hours in Alaska depending on the time of year???

[constellates]

snow is also beautiful ?

karkat is already saying the future of the plot
but i agree i hope that she will be able to find love out of work
family and friends and love are important too

[catsudon]

we're russian we can handle the snow
you might be sol but we've got it

i think winter in alaska is all darkness and alcohol
parts of russia can be that way too but it's more cool in russia
okay fine find love wherever but why doesnt he get a choice in this
i object this plot is stupid

( and to show his displeasure he steals the popcorn back from Anya's lap

he says all this like he won't be watching and getting pulled into the narrative, just wait, friends )

[alienates]

I cannot believe you are just going to leave me to freeze to death you fucker

Fake married is a very classic trope.
Just wait, I am sure your opinions on it will sway in time.
Also I saw that. You're hogging the popcorn.

[constellates]

[hold on, anya's going to take a second to use the little tray they were given to hold all their food to pick up some of the popcorn from the bag in yuri's lap and put it in the tray

and then give the tray to karkat

and then reach over to take some popcorn from yuri

of course this does not give her a lot of time to respond but she still tries]

anya has never been to russia
yuratchka is being silly
he will the only one who will not freeze
i think it is still worth it

[what]

[catsudon]

it's probably in the blood
also it's called layers Karkat
l a y e r s
are both of you not able to you know
wear multiple layers of clothing like a sane person in winter does anyway

( take a full handful of popcorn SHOVED UNCERIMONIOUSLY IN HIS MOUTH following that text. yeah he's hogging this. also his opinions on fake marriage won't improve. screw fake marriage.

(his opinions will not change on the trope, but he will have different thoughts on this film in particular.) )

[alienates]

[ later on, karkat and yuri will have a debate on the fake marriage trope. ]

It just seems easier to put on a shirt and then a hoodie or something??
And having to take off clothes as the day gets warmer seems like such a hassle.
What if I don't have a backpack or something?
Where will I put my jacket after I enter a warm building?

[constellates]

the cold here is different from the cold in russia ?
and also probably alaska
but i still think it would be fun to go

look his family is so nice
my heart is happy for him
i hope that she loves his family too

[catsudon]

( a debate where no one will win, because Fake and Marriage are Hot Button Issues for the bastard in this conversation )

when you both die from exposure i'll forget to say anything other than "karkat was lazy" and "nastenka thought it would be fun"
karkat there are so many answers to your questions
starting with
you know
carrying it over a shoulder
pulling a vitya and tying it around your waist
shoving it off on a friend
throwing it in the air and running off
or BEING WHERE IT'S STILL SO COLD ALL YOU DO IS UNZIP IT

his family would understand
maybe
unless they're people with heated tile floors

[alienates]

His family is barely dressed for the cold!!
There is no proof so far that they know how to wear layers.
In fact, the general lack of a lot of visible layers has me believing that maybe I had a point after all.

[ karkat there are layers, just not as extreme as you are picturing because it is very clearly not winter time. ]

Anyway even if we die exposure you'll die of boredom because what is there to do in Canada without us??
Probably nothing. It's why she doesn't want to go back.

[constellates]

what is the word for
focusing on small things
hm

yarnplucking ?

no ! nitpicking

there is nitpicking happening

[catsudon]

lucifur is a master at nitpicking
and they're all wearing layers, karkat
if i have to demonstrate this later i will

and i'm sure if nothing else there's what, probably vodka

( dont pretend you drink yuri )

[alienates]

This entire line of conversation is asking to be nitpicked!!
You can't tell me that you have ever had a jacket and then it turned out to not be cold so you were highly inconvenienced by having to drag this jacket around in inappropriate weather?

Also then what the hell are the underaged people doing if the answer is vodka?

[constellates]

yuratchka will overheat in his leopard jacket
for fashion !

it is not impossible to get vodka

[ . . . meanwhile why does anya know this]

[catsudon]

i wear this jacket every day do i look like i overheat

anya
it's disturbing how readily you typed that

( not so disturbing that he doesn't lean over to steal candy from her lap, eyes flicking back up to the screen )

oh good awkward first meetings with everyone are almost done

[alienates]

Yes
I wasn't going to say anything but you look like you run a marathon every day/

[ not really ]

And Anya knows every person in this city so it wouldn't be surprising if she knew someone who can easily get vodka.

Also I can't tell if the grandma likes her or not????

[constellates]

!!
karkat said more than i would
should we get yuratchka a new jacket ?

have you never been to cabin 11 or the inkwell ?

[anya those are bars]

the grandma is wonderful and i would like to hug her
grandparents are the best
