Again following on from last post, I’ve never once picked up on this perfect little detail from Karkat’s “first” conversation with John:

> CG: ATTENTION WORTHLESS HUMAN.
> CG: THIS IS YOUR GOD SPEAKING.
> CG: IT IS A WRATHFUL GOD WHO DESPISES YOU MORE THAN YOU COULD HAVE POSSIBLY DARED TO FEAR.
> CG: I HAVE WATCHED YOUR ENTIRE PATHETIC LIFE UNFOLD.
> CG: I HAVE OBSERVED YOU WHILE YOU WOULD QUAKE AND TREMBLE IN PERSONAL PRAYERS OF SHAME.
> CG: WHILE YOU PLEADED FORGIVENESS FOR BEING SUCH A WRETCHED DISGUSTING FAILURE ON EVERY CONCEIVABLE LEVEL.
> CG: PROSTRATE BEFORE THE STUPID AND FALSE CLOWN GODS YOU HAVE SCRIBBLED ON THE WALLS OF YOUR BLOCK.
> CG: BOGUS DEITIES WORSHIPED BY A PRIMITIVE “PARADISE” PLANET.
> CG: BUT YOUR PRAYERS WILL NOT BE ANSWERED.
> CG: THERE ARE NO MIRACLES IN STORE FOR YOU, HUMAN.
> CG: ONLY MY HATE.

Despite Karkat’s constant derision of Gamzee’s religion and insistence of its fakeness, he approaches John as if the prophecy about the paradise planet is fact… which has to make you wonder; did John’s clown scribbles make Karkat think that this really was a world of wicked minstrels and dark carnivals? Could anything else have possibly made Karkat more angry than thinking he just found out Gamzee was right all along?
