Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts :3 if i may share another... Karkat and his love of romance movies. Thoughts? (I find it sweet. Adorable. And just... Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy this angy child could write paragraphs of romances (troll quadrants also included) because he loves romance movies so much. Specifically romcoms?)
god yes ok yeah this one i have so much to say
so kind of back to what I said in the prev ask abt his anger/hemo-anonymity facade, i feel like the movies are the "best way" for him to let himself feel any kind of other emotion without feeling weak/lesser than about it.
dont get me wrong, i absolutely love that he loves those movies so much (13 y/o me literally bought most of the ones in karkat: be a fanboy hnfjshab) but it is 100% one of my favourite parts of his character. like, yeah hussie could have put it in there for a joke, but even if he did, he ended up giving this kid who was too stubborn to simply surrender to the violent society we see him live in, have such a spot (to the point where he is shown to publicly cry/info dump about these topics to any/all of his friends) that we see as effeminate? ((there are other lines in the comic that could be interpreted as gender roles being flipped on alternia etc but i dont think thats the case))
however!! i have seen/like the take that karkat and quadrants mirror dave and his struggle w heteronomativity/masculinity which i absolutely support as a huge davekat nut, but i do also just think its a good take to incorporate w his movie thing anyway. we never see him diss his movies the same way june does as they get older on the ship and realize how shitty con air is, but we also know that while kk was incredibly knowledged in the quadrant system, even as far as the intricacies of knowing proper ways to vacillate between quadrants, along w never getting confirmation by any of the other characters at any point about knowing what quadrant he and dave are in (ie when looking at this as a mirror to daves struggles, kk leaving the strict confines of the quadrant system as a queer allegory in another society), i think it works really well but is more subtle than daves own arc about over coming old forgotten societal things that shaped them
anyway! i think narratively the romcoms add many facets to his character, and also add for some good jokes. all the kids in all the sessions are shown to have a niche thing they eventually come to terms w and while we dont see that in-depth we do see that at least w the quadrants he doesnt feel the need to define himself to them by the time the two og sessions meet up
ok last thought is i j like in fanfic/humanstuck when people make him just Some Guy™️who loves to read romance books in his free time and will be the opposite of ashamed when people call him out on it :')
Talk turtle to me XD
I’m listening~

“i DO notice how adult think kids are not able to...
Like the argument of would you tell the kid once or twice to not touch the stove and let them the third time to let then know? (I literally had that experience though I think I only touched it because my grandma wasn’t looking.)
“exactly! adult theses days stop their kids from doing anything that might be dangerous, but they doesnt even explain WHY that might be dangerous! so instead of obeying, kids do it behind their back! this is not helping to tell kids not to do something! just sit with them, explain them why they shouldnt do it. let them ask questions, and explain them. no ‘don’t do it because i told you not to’ !”
“don’t you think it’s a bit dumb from you to just tell a kid not to do something and not to tell him why? it’s like someone told you one day not to touch water. you don’t know why you shouldnt, that’s just what it is! why do you think people are curious about armfull things? people keep telling them not to do it, without explaining why they shouldnt!”
Curious question: if anyone in RvB is one of the Seven Deadliest Sins... What would they be? (Griff is Sloth and Simmons I can see as having Envy. Thoughts~? Agree or disagree? I just had this thought and wondered what yours were on this)
Huh, that’s a really good question. Let me think... okay if I’m counting the main characters here:
Sloth: Grif (I can see him associated with Gluttony too, but I think Sloth works better)
Envy: Simmons, Caboose (I know that may sound weird, but he has shown to get jealous before and possessive about Church so...)
Lust: Tucker, Sister
Gluttony: Mmm... really Grif is the only one I can think of who fits. Good job on scoring on here twice Grif! Potentially Donut as well, but I’m not 100% sure.
Wrath: Church, Tex, Wash
Greed: I think they all can count in one way or another tbh, but probably Tucker out of everyone... hey Grif you’re not the only double scorer!
Pride: Sarge, Carolina
And I can’t really think of any that Lope would fit under since his usual state is ‘so done with these idiots’ but not enough for me to put him under Wrath.
tokka starter for @millin21 ;;
the spiky terrapin was curled in the corner , eyes closed as he slept alone , shivering from the cold of the night . he was tired , absolutely exhausted from that days training . tokka was bound to the wall by iron chains to prevent any attempted escape . the large beast was in a deeper than normal sleep , enough so he didn't hear the cell door opening or the foot steps that followed . . .
This is a collaboration between @millin21 and I. Donnie came out way too adorable!
I made the initial sketch while she lined it and placed the shadows. I then placed the colors and highlights down. She was just blast to work with :D
Thanks for collabing with me, millin!
