like i've stated , my karkat is completely rewritten from the candy timeline bc a lot of ppl dislike the route HS^2 went &&. tbh so do i , i only yoinked the design &&. idea of rebel commander karkat simply bc ya girl loves seeing her zodiac boy go off on his slow development that leads to his own signless / sufferer - type arc .
here's how i want to spell out my portrayal of KARKAT VANTAS for my own spin on the candy timeline of HS^2 :
EARTH C has been well overdone with healing since the events of the end of their game , &&. seeing how karkat's grown to around just over 9 solar sweeps , he's began to take after his ancestor in a means of taking charge &&. growing to become the beacon of hope of maturity &&. justice for the underlings . sure , there's a avid community of trolls &&. humans now living together in harmony with the occasional dispute on how life should be handled as a society , but unlike the canon of HS^2 , there IS no evil influence or overthrowing of current standings .
everyone remains at peace &&. karkat has long since taken to isolating himself for training &&. becoming a stronger individual for setting an example for those underclassmen . he &&. dave are still in a relationship though again unlike HS^2 , declined jade's advancements &&. remained loyal matesprits . dave keeps in contact with karkat as he trains in solitude within his cave . though he claims to be a rebel faction leader , all it is is a shadow of what glory once powered him through fighting LORD ENGLISH , there is no rebellion ( unless you count karkat's active desire to prove that the weaker castes are just as worthy as the higher bloods . )
karkat acts like a self defense trainer for any lower caste trolls &&. weak - minded humans who seek aid in asserting themselves &&. finding the strengths they need to overcome their obstacles , &&. essentially is a commander for his own likelihood of bettering the planet's inhabitants for mental , emotional , &&. physical fortitude .
that said , i'm not unwilling to write canon CANDY TIMELINE KARKAT if someone would prefer that verse , otherwise this is my blog's canon &&. my writing will pertain to that .
