#shopkeep (asks)

The first piece of candy collides against his head. Gamzee turns around slowly, letting out a sharp gasp, and a face of faux betrayal. His hand was positioned dramatically against his chest as if clutching his heart.

“sis, how could-”

He catches the second piece of candy in his mouth before trying to speak again

“HOW MOTHERFUCKING COULD Y’ALL BETRAY ME LIKE-”

He catches the piece of candy corn in his mouth as well. Now he’s just holding back his laughter. Couldn’t even keep up the act for long when she looked so motherfucking happy.

“happy halloween flowersis....”

Well you aint pictured your day going this way, but it aint like like you had anything better to do anyway. After the party, surprisingly enough, a few people were concerned about your despicable clown ass..Y’all didn’t think it would go this far, but you give Nepeta your same old smile.

At least you get to spend time with her.

A young troll sits in his respiteblock. The lights are turned off as he’s in a corner against the wall. 

The posters on the wall, and the small figurines of the faceless gray angels called ‘the unfunny’ are the only remnants of your faith, their presence being somewhat comforting after the big fight you had with the boy you thought had your diamond. The boy who you smiled at everyday, hoping that once he would smile at you (he didn’t. you were just an easy target. comic relief, a joke character. you’re not even a real person)

You got so motherfucking angry. There’s a feral scream locked inside your ribcage, waiting for you to release it, and you hate that feeling. No one likes you when you’re angry. You look at your recuperacoon and you want to eat slime, you want to shove it into your pretentious gullet until you toss everything onto the floor and are left to cry in your shame. At least in that state the insults wouldn’t reach you, you’d just be a punching bag.

Then you see something sent through the appearifyer, and you somehow find the strength to move towards it. It’s a note, a note from the one friend you have.

Somehow, you find it in you to smile.

Gamzee gasped. He had literally never received a gift before in his life. He held it in his hands, looking at the gift from his pale crush. He knew this didn’t mean they were pale, that’d be downright motherfucking stupid to think…But fuck if this didn’t make him all that much more pale for her.

He immediately put it on.
