It has been made known to Dave that a previous Dave and John held a poll to see which of them looked better in a dress. In your humble opinion, which of these two would win that contest?

[harlequinhater]

Well this obviously depends on the type of dress, but assuming both are flattering to their respective boy, this comes down to how this competition is presented to John. If it is just "here, wear this dress" he will probably grumble and groan about it, and wear it with the biggest grumpy expression, and Dave will win easily.

However, if he is told "wear this dress so we can prove you look hotter than Dave," John will immediately be like "oh hell yes" and rock whatever dress he is given with a hammy catwalk pose to top it off, easily defeating Dave and his insufficient dress-rocking skills.

A most excellent answer

Pick a prom dress for John, go

John's favorite/least favorite Pokémon?

[harlequinhater]

John honestly still doesn't know enough about Pokemon to pick a favorite/least favorite, so he'd probably go with Swablu for favorite and Sunflora for least favorite, based on the limited interactions he's had.

I would find a prom dress but i am the most fashion-inept person you'll ever meet, so instead imagine something glamorous and probably blue.

[quadrangle]

Off-screen interactions? Also we need to thread more. like. yeah.

[harlequinhater]

YES WE DO i would have suggested threading earlier but the time around 4/13 was very strange and I am only just beginning to recover.

Anyways off-screen interactions! I imagine it's a lot of John sort of acting like he and Karkat are best buddies and casually pissing Karkat off in the process. Also probably arguments about movies. I can also imagine Karkat trying to educate John about Pokemon things, and John just being like "haha okay dude, i'm going to continue teaching my crack team of pokemons how to be prank masters."

Also, there's probably at least one conversation about a bucket. Possibly a prank involving a bucket? The possibilities are endless.

[quadrangle]

Oh god OKAY I WILL FREELY ADMIT RIGHT NOW that agonizing over the whole bucket thing is why I wound up not replying to your April 1st log (yes I still feel guilty) because I was having a really hard time gauging how badly he'd flip his shit and then also what the backlash would be once John actually learned what buckets were ACTUALLY used for beyond Vriska's vague answer about "we find them really embarrassing for some reason" + whether or not he'd be repentant + exactly how much would have the contents of a bucket dumped on you be like troll bukkake + no but seriously would John feel guilty at that point + Karkat would really lose it + everything is terrible = endless spiral of self-doubt and crying.

I was going somewhere with this but I've already forgotten aNYWAY YEAH stuff. Absolutely arguments about movies with... I think only basic Pokémon factoids because Karkat doesn't actually care all that much, but he would care that John is doing dumb pranks as opposed to actual training. What the hell, John. Learn some damn priorities.

[harlequinhater]

Ah man, no worries about that! We can always assume Karkat got subjected to a non-bucket prank of some variety.

And what are you talking about, pranking is The Priority.

[quadrangle]

Karkat implied in a tag to Ashley that John's been booby trapping basically everything, so we can def assume this and also that he probably falls victim to some prank at least twice a week. Or more. Idk what a reasonable amount is, I am not the prank master here.

Dude, he is so going to try to get John back and probably fail miserably THAT SHOULD BE A THING WE DO IN THE FUTURE

[harlequinhater]

I mean, even if Karkat succeeded at getting John with a prank it would probably be very unsatisfying for him. John would just be so proud of him? Like "oh man, you got me good, haha i'll make you a pranking master yet."

[quadrangle]

Oh my god. Oh no. Oh god. Now this really needs to happen. ARGH okay I'll need to think about this.
