yeah, the whole gamzee thing was something i knew i would struggle with (because karkat<>gamzee is kind of my other otp, so it sucks when they duel) but this was the first thing i thought of when i heard "gambling" and i knew i had to take the risk. i'm thinking of doing another once-over to fix all the little things.

i was definitely worried about it being too melodramatic- but it looks like that wasn't an issue for you so that's good :) thank you for the feedback!
