Dave. Dave might use it as a way to tease you, but he would think no less of you. And considering the relationship you two have, if he learned you were truly serious about how your blood affects you, I'd go so far as to say he wouldn't use it as ammo anymore. But mind you, I am not saying you should tell him, simply trying to reassure you that if you ever, ever do, he would hate and love you anyway.
...I can understand, to a point, why you would. That must have been...hell to deal with. I am not envious of your position, however I am amazed by it as well. You possess so much strength to be able to persevere on under such pressure, Karkat. It's admirable. The fact that you were also able to still lead, to take control when faced with such opposition, such threat, is also absolutely astounding.
And though I am sure my view of your worth, from a human's view, likely holds no water with you, I do not believe you are a worthless freak. Certainly not because of your blood color. Personal worth is based upon personal achievements and growth. One who is able to accomplish the things you have, who is able to take their mistakes in stride and learn from them, who is able to take control in the hardest of times, or show strength in the face of the most crippling of disadvantages, creates their own worth. And of great value it is. And everything I've heard, everything I've seen for myself, you most certainly have qualified and accomplished all of those things. You are not worthless, Karkat, but invaluable.
...And if you were unable to change your fate, in the face of all of these facts...
Does it not stand to reason that perhaps, instead of being fated to the title of 'worthless freak', you were destined from the start to be something great?
