porrim and kanaya’s conversations/information through the comic makes it sound like they’re in brooding caverns
there is none, its a throwaway joke that hussie makes
slick and snowman seem to be as healthy as it gets in current canon
however vriska and eridan seemed healthy enough!! and mindfang/dualscar seemed fine too.
on the other hand, gamrezi and vristav are abuse. equius and aradia seem to be dubious as well, seeing as aradia’s lack of consent over everything equius did with her body.
terezi and vriska also use sister :’)
the probably canon explanation would be ‘fuck logic’
but this is actually one of the times where i can offer headcanons!! we see in act 5 that terezi picks up human slang from dave, and then karkat and vriska start picking it up from terezi. we also know terezi knows a lot about humans from her lusus. logically, it wouldn’t be impossible that her lusus taught her of relationships akin to brother and sister and she was the one who started using such words first, and gamzee and karkat and everyone else using bro picked up on that and ta-da!! trolls using bro and sis without fully understanding what it means
but like i said, canon doesn’t work like that and it’s never explained.
equius’ thing……. equius’ creepy thing………………… creepy creepy thing…………..
yeah that’s true with the captors but the situation with them is different
why there’s no reason for tinkerbull or pounce de leon to change ‘personalities’, it was sort of necessary for the captors as its reflecting the abilities and capabilities of mituna and sollux. it could also be another callback to the differences in 'culling’–so on beforus a lusus may act to protect and nurture a troll if they fall under the category of needing culling, where as on alternia the troll needs to learn how to survive so the lusus won’t protect them or they’d be setting them up for 'culling’ when the time came for it.
however, for all intents and purposes we can see a pattern emerging that the lusus the beta trolls had are the same as the ones the alpha trolls will have. just alternate versions.
yep, that’s correct from what we can see! :)
