banishedquasiroyal:

also on the topic of dancestors—are ancestors & descendants as much as parent/child in biological terms or imperfect clones (siblings???) of each other spanning through the centuries? i see a lot of oversimplification (“well porrim is just kanaya’s MOM”) that doesn’t actually make sense given our prior knowledge about trolls as a species, and i’m not sure if there’s been any actual meta/theory about this within the fandom
