I will never be over or stop thinking about Karkat eating birds. It was such a brief little moment. Its never explained. No one ever comments on it or sees it in canon. Just a boy and his raw unplucked hummingbirds over a roaring fire immediately after being ejected from a 3 year meteor trip.
This doing numbers.
But my friends I am not lying.
Forget literally any other Homestuck character being feral. Karkat Vantas will see a rat, ask if anyone will eat that, and not wait for an answer. Karkat would just eat dog food if an option.
pour one out for dave on the meteor who woulda been unable to make a “your mom” joke to anyone for 3 whole years without it ending up being about either bestiality or his own mother
#you tell a troll ‘I fucked your mom’ and they’ll be like #well first they’ll be like 'whats a mom’ #but they’ll be like 'my mom? who is a literal antelope? who walks on 4 legs and makes antelope noises? that mom?’ #'thats who youre claiming to have had sex with? is that really what you wanna go with chief?’
You know what would be fabulous is some hemoflipped!Amporas and Vantases (specifically Eridan and Karkat) yes just a thought OwO
“SHAME ABOUT THE HAIR, ERIDAN. I KIND OF LIKED THE LITTLE RED BEACON ANNOUNCING YOUR MUTANT ASS TO ANYONE WITH EYES IN A TEN MILE RADIUS. TOO BAD FOR YOU YOU CAN’T DYE AWAY THE RED EVERYWHERE, HUH?”
Bloodswap AU where Karkat is the descendant of the Signless, a violetblood born without symbol who became a legendary warlord and earned his sign working for the empire. Meanwhile Dualscar didn’t take to mutanthood especially well, leaving Eridan with a pretty humiliating, widespread legacy. While his mutation isn’t a cullworthy offense here, he does try his very best to appear less, well, mutated.
I’m pretty sure this here is either pretty solid blackrom, or seriously embarrassing quadrantflipping all over the place.
Lizardlicks requested Vantas boys in dresses, preferably with Amporas, mitunasbulge asked for Dualkat in an imperial popstar-like setting, an anon asked for Kankri and they all sort of blurred together and ran away with me, so here is Dualscar covered in bitchesVantas’
Kankri looks cross because his gabbing privileges have been revoked
I think if you want to make an argument wrt homestucks quality the best argument you can make is Karkat. Cause Karkat’s entire meta-theme is that he’s infectiously likable even though he comes across like an asshole, and it not only works in the story but like. on a real-world level.
Karkat first appears 1353 pages in as a rando calling the sweetest main character an idiot and by the time he’s properly introduced 600 pages later people are so on board with him being the deuteragonist of the story it becomes common to tell people just to skip right to his part. For all Homestuck can stumble while making its convoluted meta-meme as gnostic reimagined thematic hypertext bullshit stick the landing, boy howdy, when it tells you you will love this shouty boy despite yourself, it fucking delivers.
