BONUS ROUND 1
Bonus Round 1
Genre-Mixing
Hey, shippers! Welcome to your very first bonus round proper--we hope you have lots of fun with it! This time around we're going to be asking you to mix it up a little--each fanwork posted for this round will be a mish-mash of two different genres, blended together in a delightful incestuous slurry to create an UNSTOPPABLE CREATIVE CONCOCTION--er. Or. Something.
Yeah, we're genre-mixing. That's what we're doing this round.
Rules

- Look through the prompts and fill whichever you like!

Fill: Team Dave<3Rose (Part 1)
I wasn't quite sure how to convey "documentary" in writing, I hope this is alright!

[We hold the interview in Mr. Egbert's childhood home, which he sometimes shares with his new alien partner. He welcomes me at the door, relaxed in a pair of khakis and a blue shirt, asking that I remove my shoes in the entryway. The place is tidy, if odd, a strange mix of human suburbia and oddly organic alien touches. Egbert leads me to his kitchen, offering refreshments, asking me how my flight was, and making general small talk. He seems like a friendly, well-adjusted individual, and I can't help wondering how someone like him ended up in his unique position. He seems startled by my question, giving me a good-natured laugh.]
EGBERT: Hehe, well, it's not exactly something I was trying to do or anything? I mean, no one tries to fall in love, right!
INTERVIEWER: Is that what you would call it? Being in love?
[He ducks his head, smiling.]
EGBERT: Well, no, not really. The trolls call it hate? But I don't know what to call it. I don't hate Karkat! He's just very, punchable.
INTERVIEWER: The two of you hurt each other?
EGBERT: Heh, he wishes! He can barely land a hit on me. I've got all the mangrit. All of it!
.
[Mr. Vantas, by comparison, is very secretive and confrontational. He insists on holding the interview in a public place, with his friend present, but demands that the public area by cleared of all civilians. He also insists that it is the film crew's responsibility to provide him with fresh roe cubes and Italian blend frappuccinos, but seems too suspicious of the food and drink to ingest them. His appearance, like his behavior, is atypical of what we've heard of the aliens; he appears to be no more than five foot four, wearing an oversized sweater that he repeatedly pulls at to cover more skin. Between that and his mop of unruly hair, the alien seems literally encased in a layer of protection.]
VANTAS: He said what?
INTERVIEWER: Mr. Egbert indicated to me that he's the aggressor in the relationship.
VANTAS: Listen here fucknuggets, the only thing John's the aggressor of is choking down my bulge like the desperate sex-crazed moronic psychopath he so clearly is. Why your kind hasn't branded him as criminally insane and removed his puckered-asshole of a face from the surface of the planet already is beyond me, but I guess I should thank you since the only thing that could possibly be worse than having John Egbert as your kismesis is not having John Egbert as your kismesis.
INTERVIEWER: Uh.
VANTAS: Fuck me, do I have to explain this to you shitstains again? Listen you egregious excuse for a living being, there are four kinds of romance. Four. This pitiable fuck [Mr. Vantas gestures to the alien who accompanied him] is my moirail.
MAKARA: What the motherfuck is up my brothers?
VANTAS: Nothing, we're fine—are you fine? Did they get you the cookies like I asked? Hey, you! Bring him more cookies! I don't give a fuck what your job used to be, it just became make my moirail happy or I will walk out of this shoot and sue the everliving fuck out of you, your crew, and every person you've so much as sneezed at from the day of your miserable birth til now, you waste-of-air pus-spewing illiterate asshole.
VANTAS: Uh. What were we talking about.
INTERVIEWER: Do you and Mr. Egbert physically harm eachother as a normal part of your relationship?
VANTAS: Oh my god, you really are retarded, aren't you. Listen up, that's what kismesises do, if you don't walk away bleeding from a round with your kismesis, it's because you can't walk at all.
VANTAS: Don't take that literally, that would make you the second worst kismesis of all time, you don't want to fucking maim your partner, and no bulgemuncher, it's not because they won't be able to put up as much fight afterwards like some amateur romance analysts believe, it's because if you were able to damage them that badly, they weren't a good match for you as a kismesis anyway. So trust me when I say that the term 'lying prick too dumb to know what's good for him spewing diarrheic bullshit from his mouth at a bunch of asshats who are probably going to be the death of him, too full of good intention to leave well the fuck enough alone' doesn't even begin to cover Egbert and me.
.
INTERVIEWER: How do you handle yourself with Mr. Vantas? He seems a little…
EGBERT: Douchey?
INTERVIEWER: Aggressive.
EGBERT: Hahaha, oh man, but that's the best part! Riling up Karkat isn't even hard, the real challenge is getting him so twisted around that he's yelling the exact opposite thing he believes, because he's too stupid to realize you're playing him!
INTERVIEWER: That seems a little cruel.
[He shrugs.]
EGBERT: Cruel is dumping a bunch of babies in a maze and making them find their way on their own. Cruel is those babies getting totally random guardians, that may not care about their kids at all, that may need more taking care of than the kid does, that for sure don't understand the kid. And cruel is telling those kids that they need to find a relationship, one that fits these rigid forms, one that's boxed in and labeled and follows all the right rules, or they'll die. Actual kismesissitude? That's pretty tame.
INTERVIEWER: But there's still the potential for serious injury.
EGBERT: Well, yeah. Most humans probably couldn't handle it, even if they got over the whole hang-up about one kind of love. But, I mean, what's being a god for, if not withstanding really crazy sex injuries? [Mr. Egbert gives me a wan smile, clearly uncomfortable with the subject. Whether it's the mention of sex, or his godhood, though, I cannot say.]
INTERVIEWER: There it is again, love.
EGBERT: Heh, yeah. There it is.
EGBERT: I guess it is some kind of love, even if it feels really weird to call it that. Like saying I love my friends, and even though I know it's true, it feels weird because everybody's gonna think I mean something different than what I really mean.
EGBERT: Actually, I loved Karkat like that, before all, this. I guess I still do!
EGBERT: Maybe you have to love your kismesis to hate them right.
