Karkat was always aware of her feelings. He thought she was cute. He just never reciprocated those feelings and always thought she could do better. especially since she had Equius as an amazing moirail, despite him being very controlling of her actions. If I had to guess, Karkat most likely didn't want to follow in the footsteps of his ancestor and accept the conditional love that is being given to him. He always had to work hard to get where he is, being given a lusus despite his mutation and showing how much he has accomplished alone. Having Nepeta would probably make it hard for him to protect others since she would have to become a priority.

NepKat is actually canon in one of the timelines I think because in the flash where Derse Roxy sleepwalks everywhere you can see god tier Karkat with Nepeta
*_K I L L M E SWEET LORD OW_* the fact that nepETA WENT OUT OF HER COMFORT ZONE TO CONFESS AND THEN THE SUBTLE LACK OF RECIPROCATED AFFECTION WHY DON'T YOU JUST STEP ON MY HEART WHILE YOU'RE AT IT cH R I S T
Angry Barista Karkat is one of those characters where you either have to take charge or slowly integrate a relationship. Look at the DaveKat thing; they were on the ship for 3 years together and all that we've gotten from it is implied picnics.
Neintienaitefor Orwell true true but at least karkat makes it pretty obvious when he's flushed for someo even though he can't move forward with those feelings (what we see with terezi) he made it clear to nepeta that he thought it was a joke and didn't believe her. Though yes he does that alot there's still the ending with the hand
@neintienaitefor orwell davekat is heavily implied to be canon without it being explicitly said, i think. especially the one scene where dave karkat and john were talking, I think that was meant to show that dave and karkat were together while also showing that karkat tries to hide his relationships.
I know that a lot of people feel bad for Nepeta because her feelings weren't reciprocated, but I feel bad for Karkat. He didn't want to tell her he didn't feel the same way, so didn't let her down, but couldn't force himself to pretend to like her either. He shouldn't even have to choose between crushing her or pretending, as pretending shouldn't have to be an option. Nepeta should be open to hearing Karkat's side of the story, even if it isn't the side she wants to hear. *No one* is obligated to return someone's feelings, or pretend to. People feel the way they feel and both the crusher and crushee should have their feelings respected.
Chrownox Our Nepeta thanks you and is very happy her voice is magical enough to turn you into a puddle. Now if only she were Morgan Freeman, we'd be set.
And thus Karkat's feelings that she deserves someone better than him rears its ugly head once more. I'll just take my seat in the Feels Train section H-314 thank you very much!
SAME BRO MY EYES ALSO HURT *but were not NOT EVEN A CHANCE WERE NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT THE INPROPIATE STUFF TAHTS DOWN OUR BODY NOPE DONT EVEN MOTHERFUKING DO IT*
Speaking of animal-themed characters so aggressively thirsty it borders between comical and "I'm gonna need both hands for this": Jade in the Meat route.
I Love This, The Way He Didn't Lay His Hand On Her At The End Got Me, It Showed How He Doesn't Feel The Same And Just Ugghhhhhhhh This Is Goooooddd, Good Jobbb
Karkat Vantas Cause of how Karkat is. He has alot of self hatred and feels she is to good for him. That or he honestly doesn't feel the same, obviously flattered and he cares as seen in this and the actual comic. Though its also because of the zodiac he represents. Cancer's build walls and end up being grouchy and highly judgemental of themselves. Plus Cancer's care alot about emotions and tend to fall for those close to them. Nepeta has never really talked to Karkat or even spent time with him ans vice versa. So Karkat probably believes its just a crush and he doesn't want to hurt her worse in the end than if she fell for him and it was ruined. Or could be with the anger and regrets of his ancestor passing on to him. Wouldn't you regret it if ypur existence could get your love interest killed or send them into a life of exile and solitude of eternal grief.
A few seconds later, Equius bursts in wearing a kinky maid outfit. When he bursts in, he sees "FRIENDSHIP" above Karkat and Nepeta, in bubbly rainbow letters. A softly spoken inquiry of, "D---> Is this not the time?"
...ok i know this is all sad and all, but can we all just appreciate the absolute GAME that Nepeta whips out here? She didn't even do a makeover or anything, but she's honestly pretty damn slick given that she grew up in the woods
This is adorable, and I really love the voice actor for Nepeta in this comic. I'm happy that I'm actually starting to get the voice for Nepeta this way, I found out of nowhere that I was able to do it. :0
I see this from a year ago, because I'm garbage that likes to see yall's reactions and comments and. Might I point you in the direction of our 1 year anniversary video for *H-HEWWO* tomfoolery?
This made me cry bro. Cuz, she never had the chance to do this. Because she's dead. God, what I wouldn't give to see more SCM (Smooth Criminal Nepeta) comics.

This is canon in at least a timeline. Then Hussie killed this adorable couple. My feelings are always being beaten by Hussie and other authors.
Usurp Vision That would be nice
Well, even worse, there's a doomed timeline where literally all my ships are canon.
@@centaursapocalypse7259 Honestly? Same.
NepKat is actually canon in one of the timelines I think because in the flash where Derse Roxy sleepwalks everywhere you can see god tier Karkat with Nepeta
Wait I just realized Karkat never godtiered...wait, did we ever found out what "Blood" does?

this comic and comment are so old but the way you misspelled karkat makes me think " karkat the car rat" and I have been haunted by this for years
Kakarat
So cute!
it's such a shame nepeta was written out so early. her red feelings for karkat and how she handles them could've been expanded upon.
Honestly it's so weird hearing your own voice come out of a character in a video. It doesn't even feel like it's my voice anymore! Just Karkat's!!
It's so fitting, too!
syweb2 thank you!
God this art style is gorgeous I love it so much???
Sqwoosh omg hi troll
Are you asking us if you are loveing it so much ?
I see what you mean, the lines are so smooth and casual, and the hands are drawn well!

let's be honest: intimidating 'don't you think i'm cute' Nepeta is making me melt
Chrownox Our Nepeta thanks you and is very happy her voice is magical enough to turn you into a puddle. Now if only she were Morgan Freeman, we'd be set.
I have unironically watched this video like 5 times, it's so FuCkInG aDoRaBlE.
How many times have you ironically watched it?
LucidLucario Once, the first time.
And thus Karkat's feelings that she deserves someone better than him rears its ugly head once more. I'll just take my seat in the Feels Train section H-314 thank you very much!
When the anime WOW thing happened I started laughing and then that laughter turned into coughing lol 😆

With the " :'33 " thought it was gonna be heart break am disappoint
Vemnae Vantor I am a disappoint. He didn't fully hug her back! Also, skittlebuggy never finished it after his computer crashed.
Mina The Raichu I dont much like nepkat but I had to see it as people I talk to are in it
Vemnae Vantor Katnep is precious to me. YwY

Vemnae Vantor That is ok. I can see it
*screaming intensifies and I break down the door*
I HEAR SHIPS!

Karkat questions his relationship quadrants while Nepeta casually nya's.
I honestly expected Equius to jump out wearing a French made costume.

EVERYWHERE
SAME BRO MY EYES ALSO HURT
*but were not NOT EVEN A CHANCE WERE NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT THE INPROPIATE STUFF TAHTS DOWN OUR BODY NOPE DONT EVEN MOTHERFUKING DO IT*
They say if you ship it hard enough it will become canon

i think it was just hesitation, personally, i think karkat has a bunch of pent up emotions and is afraid of letting people in...
N: I love you
