a page or two after kanayas introduction it states that a trolls lips are naturally black, but in the sprites normally the male trolls and nepeta dont show dark lips. is it just cause the sprites arent really always that detailed or just really doesnt matter or.

But they can always be blacker, and a lady with a true sense of style knows this.

so i guess all the females with black lips have a true sense of style. apart from nepeta, who didn’t make them blacker.

my knowledge of homestuck is not great and im sorry if this question gives you a headache. but considering how dirk is strictly homosexual how are rose and dave his and roxys offspring? does it tie in with johns early ectobiology shenanigans?

yeah it’s all about ectobiology! there was no reproduction going on there. just ecto-cloning.

i know you hate Gamzee and so do i. but has he died yet? or in any timeline? i don't think i'd count Caliborn shooting him because he lived, and Hussie said right after that that he was immortal. sorry long ask i was just wondering-

nope, gamzee has yet to die.

the biggest assumption right now is that it was because he was close to the cherubs when they mated, and they granted him immortality. however the mods can’t agree on this and we are split in half with each other over the wording of the passage. what we all agreed on was that it wasn’t clear, and therefore wasn’t 100% confirmed.

that said, it is the best theory we have so far.

joker immunity trope has also been suggested, but it seems unlikely.

I agree with your views how female characters need to be treated well but you don't need to strawman to get the point across. The amount of fandom that genuinely likes Gamzee or Caliborn is like. 2% A fraction of the size that likes the Les8ifins or Terezi or mostly any character. And just like. I'm pretty sure Terezi is the single most popular character? And Kanaya is pretty loved too, if only for Rosemary, perhaps. Some female characters are treated badly, but don't just make up stuff >.>

and here is the huge issue with posts, people don’t experience the same side of the fandom you do so they refuse to believe what you’re seeing. as terezi as my favourite character, let me tell you she is hated. going through the karezi/terezi/terezi pyrope/daverezi/katnep/any other male/female pairing with terezi tag is fucking painful i’ve just untracked them now. and as someone who has been answering questions for the fandom for 3 years, i will happily tell you there’s been the  most vile, misogynistic asks in this inbox—all about female characters. and guess who gets the most abuse in here?

terezi pyrope—woah!!!!!!

the fact that terezi canonically gets abused and people still defend and try to justify gamzee is all that needs to be said about the way the fandom treats female characters

the worst part about this ask is you’ve called me out on saying characters aren’t misrepresented, only to knock down your own point by talking about kanaya like this:

Kanaya is pretty loved too, if only for Rosemary, perhaps

ah so kanaya’s worth is only when she is paired with rose. she is not popular as a character on her own? is this by any chance because kanaya is only seen as a boring lesbian? 

what a strawman argument if you’re the one giving me even more evidence that girl’s aren’t valued as individual characters. i really don’t know how to deal with these kind of mentalities, they’re shocking. absolutely shocking. 

but thank you for proving my point on the matter! i don’t think i need to say much more than what you already have done through that one comment.

do you think that it's possible that all trolls have the ability to smell and taste colors, if given the same circumstances as terezi? it isn't important i just want to see what you guys think!! uvu

well terezi’s circumstances are why she could so… if the circumstances were the same….. of course someone could? 

Do cherubs have some sort of naming convention like the trolls do?

caliborn and calliope both have eight letters

If a troll goes blind for reasons OTHER than the Alternian sun, would their eyes do whatever it is that Terezi's did? Or would it just be like when a human goes blind?

just as human eyes can appear differently depending on the cause of blindness, it stands to reason that troll eyes could as well.

is karkat dead?
