eeeeeee, I love this! congratulations, you just pulled off a successful cahootship is a great gotcha, too. (The title is amazing and sounds like something either of the beta Strilondes could have come up with to describe what Dave does, I'm going with the idea Rose called it that and Dave ran with it because it amuses me.)

I'm imagining Karkat having a conniption over Dave auspiticizing for Terezi and John when he's trying to get them together pitch-wise, and Dave going "nah it's alright i'm just explaining away cultural differences, it doesn't count. don't make me shooshpap you." and Karkat having another conniption over that.
