Continuing the history of Uesugi Karkat from the Nobushii era: It is at this moment that the Uesugi Karkat Historical Preservation Foundation would like to acknowledge the profundity of Uesugi Karkat's vacant flushed quadrant. Despite a lengthy career of over ten sweeps in the Troll Edo period and the approach of a number of suitors during that time, he was notorious for keeping his red quadrant completely closed off. Some have theorized that this is because he was extremely dedicated to his life's ultimate goal of fighting Imperial involvement in East Alternia, and was therefore "married to his work." Others believe that he had a matesprit already, either on another continent or in another life altogether — a deceased lover, perhaps. The discredited academics who insist on the "time traveler" hypothesis, which has inspired songs like the one famously written and performed by Troll Hiromitsu Agatsuma, suggest something else altogether — that his flushed celibacy was to ensure that he did not alter the flow of the future so profoundly that it would unmake a matespritship he could later return to. An extremely vocal subset of enthusiasts who have co-opted the Saga of Uesugi Karkat, whom the Foundation acknowledges, but does not publicly condone, insist that the true, real reason is that he was simply a "tsundere" who was playing hard to get, and that his pale ardor was not so pale after all. The truth will never be known, as this piece of Uesugi Karkat's history is completely lost to us. All that is known is that on the light before the Battle of Fearoyama, the massacre for which he would be remembered forever, he sat down and wrote a single romantic poem, then sealed it away in perhaps the most secure hiding place of all — inside the haft of his sickle, where it was discovered by the Foundation after it was procured from the estate of a deceased royalblooded seadweller. As the Troll Edo period came to a close, Imperial forces had begun to converge on East Alternia with the intention of modernizing the region and bringing it into the fold of the rest of the global Alternian empire. The local government's armed forces were asked to stand down, swear allegiance to the new heiress, and resign their strife modi. After many skirmishes and border conflicts that he had strategically eked narrow victories out of, the Nobushii, now known to his dauntless loyalists by his final title, the SHIKIKAN UESUGI KARKAT, made a sudden and extremely rash decision after a long night of moongazing. He declared that he would meet the Imperial forces in a bloody last stand at Mount Fearoyama, where the remaining rebels would die fighting against insurmountable odds in the final, twitching death-throe of the Pre-Restoration era. His followers pleaded with him to reconsider, but to no avail. When asked why he was so adamant in his decision to die at Fearoyama, the Shikikan was said to have looked skyward, gazing directly into the light of the Green Moon. It is to this moment that we attribute one of Uesugi Karkat's most famous quotes, for he replied, "THE MEMORY OF TIME WON'T REMEMBER MY NAME UNLESS I SHOUT IT FROM THE TOP OF MY FUCKING BELLOWSACS. THIS IS HOW I MAKE SURE IT WILL HEAR ME. DE ARINSU." Little else in the way of context has survived to go on the record. His intense fixation with moongazing and astronomy, especially in the nights leading up to the Battle of Fearoyama, is frequently cited as a relevant detail to his famous quote. Others say that it was merely another means of waxing poetic, as he was oft to do. What has survived is a single daguerreotype picture, taken the night before the battle. The history of Uesugi Karkat will be concluded in the following chitt. https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/a8da5cf95f75.png https://open.spotify.com/track/0bP8YBOidQqrFNsw0IJamB?si=f89c1f630b3147c0 #uesugikarkat
