Alternate future: the World in 2070

by u/Aofen

Karkat’s lusus isn’t long for this world - at least, not in this form - so it’s fitting that the Alternian text here spells not strife, as it usually does, but grief.

You leap into the domestic fray in an attempt to mollify your nannying aggressor. After a lot of kicking and fussing and gnashing of teeth and carapace, you just pull out a few CHILLED ROE CUBES from the fridge to settle the beast down. Trolls and their custodians have a peculiar arrangement of codependence. The lusus behaves as a lifelong bodyguard, caretaker, and visceral sort of mentor, while the young troll must learn to function as a sort of zookeeper.

Lusi don’t seem to be especially intelligent. Presumably they ‘raise’ the troll through animal instinct, and infant trolls are probably quite feral as a result. 

There’s got to be a point in the troll’s adolescence - probably quite early on - where the child can out-think the parent, and then the nature of the relationship changes. At that point, they’d need to start interacting with other trolls, and learning about their place in the empire. 

A young troll’s education can’t come from these creatures, but there are many ways an advanced society could automate such a task - probably mostly through technology, since there aren’t many adults around. Gotta teach these kids the ropes quickly, since they’ll be slaying the enemies of Alternia in a few short years.

On the lighter side, Karkat loves this guy, doesn’t he? Good crab, best friend.

Speaking of Bec, he fits pretty neatly into the role of a lusus, so much so that I’m wondering if it’s really an (in-universe) coincidence. We still don’t know what went into that MEOW code, so maybe it featured some Alternian DNA all along. 

TA time!

Even his eyes are 3D. They’re blank, like AA’s, so I think it relates to his ‘mutant’ brain, and possible psychic powers. 

Beehive technology? Oh, hell yeah. The trolls seem to love their biotech.

You could always try to guess his name. But instead of that, here's a better idea. Why don't you just fuck off and go to hell?

Hey, man, c’mon. We’re not Karkat. 

I guess we're doing this now!

I’m not complaining, Catnip looks like a badass. I thought the ‘kills animals with her bare hands’ thing was Terezi roleplaying again, but no, she does.

If Alternia does have a formal caste system, this poor girl must be near the bottom. She’s literally living in a cave, and painting the walls with animal blood. It’s wonderfully unhinged.
