@VesselBlud Considering their mirrors are both mentor figures who “train” their descendants in similar strides, the idea that Aranea and Dirk parallel each other doesnt feel that far off.
@Amogusman600@arachidcanine scale is one of the most interesting and important parts of the comic to me personally. I would even dare say that a good part of Karkat’s character is about exploring this very idea. I love Homestuck, and analysing its story is something I greatly enjoy.
@Amogusman600@arachidcanine I don’t think what labels someone used to describe fictional characters particularly matters, but I do think that calling all trolls “technically bi” is incorrect. I wanted to correct you, because what Homestuck has to say on sexuality, and how they break it down on a societal
@Amogusman600@arachidcanine Yes, that’s what they believe, but what I’m saying is that they can still be exclusively homosexual even if they don’t have the words for it. In Andrew Hussie’s own words, Kanaya is a Lesbian by our standards. They think of it as a strict preference, we have a word for it.
@Amogusman600@arachidcanine An essential part of understanding sexuality and the Reason for the quadrants in the story, is that it exists to explore homosexuality from a societal angle, and how even if a “kind” of love isn’t accounted for socially, it still exists. You just don’t have a word for it.
@Amogusman600@arachidcanine They don’t have the words, but they are still homosexual. Kanaya is described by Andrew Hussie as still undeniably being a Lesbian character, despite them not having a word to describe it.
@rucc_sacc@tiramisu_n_egg@pibbyglitchEBK@starlitselene She had a matriorb from her dead virgin mother grub, but it’s reasonable to assume that the main mother grub would under normal circumstances, also have a matriorb.
@tiramisu_n_egg@pibbyglitchEBK@starlitselene The only mother grub was on Alternia, and it was dead. Its matriorb was probably destroyed by the meteors, which would have left no other way to bring back her species besides siding with Lord English.
@IsaacMattson4@NeverBetOnDan it’s just a normal thing in their culture, they express themselves through how they type. it’s like how the beta kids just set whatever color they like most as their pesterhandle, but trolls are used to just using that to display your blood color, so some of them get confused.
@Bingus_Artworks@UEVOSrune That’s really interesting, I always considered the Rudinn Rangers as the Kris parallel, and Head Hathys as the Noelle parallel.
