[ the more dave talks, the more karkat looks as if his entire life was just changed. ]

Did you guys call him human Will Smith?

[parodeity]

No, because that would be weird, he was obviously already human? Or like. Presumed human.

[alienates]

Also, now that I think about it... his name doesn't even make sense in troll standards? All of us seem to have six letters in our first name and six in our last?

[ WILL SMITH DOESN'T. FIT THAT. ]

[parodeity]

Yeah, so like. What the fuck, actually?

[alienates]

I think you just uncovered what may be the greatest goddamn mystery on our hands here.

[parodeity]

It makes no chronological sense, either.

[alienates]

Didn't we come before you guys? So troll Will Smith would have existed before human Will Smith. But the lack of human in front of your Will Smith implies he's the original. Who did this.

[parodeity]

Yeah. So...

[ helpless hand gesture. ]

Also, his name definitely adheres to like. Human naming conventions, as pointed out...?

[ THIS IS STUPID ]

[alienates]

I've learned a lot of absurd, off the wall nonsense, this is pretty high up there on my list of "what the non-lubricated fuck does this mean?"

[ it's almost funny with how dumb it is. ]

[parodeity]

Maybe he's a time traveler, and is actually the real Will Smith, from an alternate universe, who managed to end up on Alternia and set himself up as the "for real Troll Will Smith" and then played out his entire career via troll movie copies of the human versions.

[alienates]

Fucking brilliant. He'd be set for life? Just going from universe to universe, recreating his own past hits to assure that he lives forever amongst Hollywood's greats.

[ what does alternia even have a hollywood ]

[parodeity]

[ ..................... ]

Why did troll planet have Hollywood.

[alienates]

Trollywood?

[parodeity]

Okay, but was it called that or "Troll Hollywood"?

[alienates]

[ honestly it's. probably troll hollywood.

he just looks disturbed, which is probably an answer in of itself. ]

[parodeity]

I feel like y'all hated on humanity way too hard for all that you were basically copy pasted humanity with "troll" slotted in front of shit, and also some weird biological quirks to prove aliens.

[alienates]

In my alternate self's defense, it's not like I was aware of all of this. I can make fun of the other me now, but that poor bastard did not know shit.

[parodeity]

I wonder if we ever argued about it back then.

[alienates]

Honestly... fucking probably? Or maybe something relating to the subject.

[ he would be genuinely surprised if it hadn't come up at least once. ]

[parodeity]

I bet I won.

[ dave, shut up, ]

[alienates]

What? No. When have you ever won an argument against me?

[ .......... ]

[parodeity]

Frequently? [ well. a small frown. not................

here.................

he's doing it again, thinking of his first life first. ]

[alienates]

[ he squints. usually when they did argue here it ended with them both angrily leaving so he's not sure if any of those would be considered "wins"

so. karkat gets where he's getting that answer from. ]

Okay, starting now, we have a reset. Only wins starting from this point forward count.

[parodeity]

Ehhhh. [ a shrug. ] I don't think John would get mad, but I feel like starting pointless fights wouldn't exactly make shit easier on him. Or anyone else.

[alienates]

John and I get along great.[ ... ] Although I think we mostly just think the other one is hilarious, which still counts.

[ 80% of his conversations with john is just them being amused by each other. it's fine. ]
