So I’ve been thinking about Karkat and Kankri for a bit…

Vantascest where Kankri is struggling with his morally depraved feelings and desires he’s been developing for Karkat. He’s yearning so bad. Has the most disgusting of thoughts. Wakes up every night drooling and with soiled pants because of these images he just can’t control. But he has to stick to what he preaches. He has to maintain that perfect ‘unproblematic’ appearance. He just CANT be a freak. He just CANT want something so wrong.

But the more he bottles it up and denies himself, the worse it gets.

Because in the end, it’s always the ones that act the most performatively self righteous and morally superior that are the true weirdos.

If anyone has done this already in a fic feel free to send it my way. I may write something though.

Hmmm im pretty sure godtiers dont age or die of age so. I didnt make jade look as old as karkat, maybe trolls dont even age the same so im not sure how accurate this iz

I imagine jade to have a bunch of accessories and piercings, and probably get into yoga and meditation. I imagine her living in a cottage with a ton of plants and pets even.

Homestuck fandom, check this out

I was looking up stuff about blood proteins for Reasons and like, I know we as a fandom have covered this before. The ones we at least have a cursory familiarity with are hemoglobin, hemorythrin, and hemocyanin.

For those who aren’t familiar I’ll give a quick overview.

Hemoglobin is a blood protein commonly found in humans and other vertebrates. As an iron protein, it turns red when oxygenated, and (unlike popular misconception) is dark red when deoxygenated. This is the most efficient blood protein to current knowledge.

Hemocyanin, a copper protein, is commonly found in arachnids, crustaceans, and cephalopods. It’s colorless normally and takes on a blue color when exposed to oxygen.

Hemorythrin is based on iron as well, but is structured differently than hemoglobin. Normally clear, it’s a bright pinkish violet when oxygenated, and found in marine worms and brachiopods.

Now, you’ve probably heard of those before. What you probably aren’t familiar with is a fourth oxygen-carrying protein.

Chlorocruorin, which is light green when deoxygenated and a darker green when exposed to oxygen, is structurally similar to hemoglobin, to the point where it can occasionally appear red like its cousin in certain concentrations. The only difference is a key change in the chemical structure. It’s commonly found in worms and leeches and, unlike its name implies, doesn’t contain any chlorine.

How this comes into play in regards to Homestuck is that it wouldn’t be difficult to imagine that the hemospectrum trolls are privy to is simply made up of different combinations of these four proteins, with different saturations and ratios of each to make up the different hues. This would mean that four castes have the “purest” blood, with their blood only carrying one of these proteins and giving them their characteristic hue.

The four castes? Blue, violet, crimson, and lime. One is mutant and the other, on Alternia at least, is extinct. Having the four different proteins be, for the most part, consistent throughout the hemospectrum in their different combinations, would allow for mutations to crop up of certain uncommon combinations that are rarer. With hemoglobin and chlorocruorin being so structurally similar and, at times, even sharing a hue, it also offers merit to the “crimson is mutant lime” theory.

Here’s a chart from this website, to illustrate the different proteins and their structures and hues. You can click through the link above to see it a bit more clearly.

“Now wait a minute, Teo,” you might be thinking. “Haven’t we seen those colors elsewhere in Homestuck before?” And the answer is, YES! In fact, we’ve seen those colors since the very beginning! Where, you ask?

Right freakin’ here.

Either Andrew Hussie is an absolute genius, or he’s a master of coincidence, but it’s wonderfully infuriating either way.

TL;DR: Blood proteins could probably mix to make different colors in an alien species and the four proteins we know of match the Beta kids’ associated colors.
