tell us your favorite things about Gamzee
Hoooo boy, okay! Some of my favorite things about Gamzee Makara:
1. How sweet and supportive he is to his friends
He even roleplays with Equius even though it makes him uncomfortable
And he watches out for Karkat and tries to be a good moirail even when he’s under the influence of Lil Cal
2. He’s constantly amazed by the most mundane things, like carbonation
3. He’s just got so much positive energy, he clearly loves to make people laugh
look at his cute little dance
4. His name translates to dimple which is the cutest shit I’ve ever heard
5. He’s so gentle – when he’s not under the influence of Lil Call
You can always tell when it’s him speaking because when he does the VaCilLiAtInG tExT lIkE tHiS
This part right here just broke my heart. He’s just a gentle guy who doesn’t want to fight anyone why does everything think he was lying here when he’s using his ReAl VoIcE instead of the Lil Cal voice???
6. Even under Lil Cal’s influence, he seems to be struggling for his agency
And in his moments of lucidity (brought on, I believe, by Karkat’s conciliating touch) Gamzee clearly hates himself
7. Hussie clearly doesn’t love him, abandoning him just like Goatdad did, and so I feel obligated to STEP UP
On top of stripping Gamzee of his agency and turning him into that stupid character who talks funny, Hussie both metaphorically and literally fridges him! Even Bro Strider gets more sympathy by getting a redemption arc through Dirk, even tho Bro Strider and Gamzee’s crimes are the same! Because they were possessed by the same evil doll!
Something that is confirmed in Bro Strider’s case, but never mentioned in correlation to Gamzee!
The text straight up acknowledges that the only reason Dirk turned out different from Bro is because his version of Lil Cal was unhaunted!
And Vriska even fucking teases the audience with this knowledge!
But sure Hussie, let’s just never acknowledge Gamzee’s innocence
So few people will love this boy the way he deserves to be loved and that’s why I’m loving him TEN TIMES the normal amount, to make for everyone else who is too thickheaded to see the TRUTH
