a fankid you say?? tell me more pleaseee.
i've actually talked about her before here and here!
tldr they end up adopting a grub as old ladies and their daughter grows up to be a normie prep against all odds (chronic "raised by grandma" syndrome)
spider dragon is The Baby of the extended family network of my postgame au, because . . . most of the people who were going to have kids did so in their late 20s/early 30s and not in their mid-50s(? who fucking knows how troll lifespans work point is vriska and terezi are gleeful old hags & loving it) which means she has a lot of older cousins and second cousins(? children of cousins) close enough in age for her to consider them cousins. unfortunately being surrounded by old people means she's a nerd from birth. and because she's a troll being raised by Literal Gods/Actual Alternian Trolls instead of a lusus like normal ppl, she's already somewhat isolated from other kids her age.
it turns out the reason no lusus would take her as a grub is that spider is a teal-cerulean cusper; a natural variation in troll genetics that only becomes a problem in cases where they're so smack in the middle of blood colors that no lusus of either caste will bond to them (or, worse, when a lusus of each caste bonds to a cusper---the two lusii will attempt a fight to the death on sight, which is obviously very upsetting for all parties involved). she doesn't have cerulean mind powers, nor does she have whatever psychic gift teals can develop (smellovision?). on alternia, she would have probably died or been culled for being a mutant, but on earth C she pretty much lives a normal life because 1) kanaya didn't know cuspers were a thing until spider dragon came along (& doesn't cull healthy grubs on principle) and 2) earth C does not have much stratification along the hemospectrum, if any.
spider only became aware of her cusper status as an adult. vriska and terezi were both like "huh, that explains a lot," and never brought it up again. spider also only became aware of how unusual vriska and terezi's relationship is as a teenager and young adult---it's almost like the serket-pyrope relationship is beyond quadrants compared to normal troll dating. very odd to find out that not only are your parents gay by human standards, but also by troll standards. as if uncle karkat hasn't been trying to explain that literally every time they get together. someone has to give this young troll a proper education of romance, discretely arranged in four non-overlapping emotional spheres. she probably still has some of the helpful charts he made for her tucked away somewhere.
anyway she is a private school kid because of course vriska's daughter is getting the 8est education money can buy, and of course terezi's daughter is going to an ivy league school with an excellent law program. never mind that she majors in history. it's fine. terezi's not disappointed at all that earth C's best mind just went into alternian studies instead of criminal law. it's. fine.
