the fact that the maryams have arcs centered around motherhood, femininity, subverting said tropes, purity/chastity and sexual violence & infertility is kind of wild, yknow

like!!! gamzee could’ve been a REALLY interesting character who i could’ve had sympathy for. neglected kid who’s also an addict by thirteen? relatable content! but he yknow, chose actively to commit atrocities and become his own god, all the while murdering his friends and beating up his girlfriend. so like. yeah. he sucks.

But what is you’re a lesbian and a gamzee Stan

banishedquasiroyal:

listen gamzee is a GREAT villain and antagonist but i can’t stan him knowing that he’s 1) an incarnate of evil 2) chooses actively to BE evil and become his true self by dooming timelines and absorbing himself over and over again and 3) also c’mon!!! [s] game over gamzee was literally abusing his girlfriend, by choice! cal was an influence in the sense that he showed him what he could be, and gamzee took it!!!!

meanwhile vriska is a character who was fucked over by her society and was being constantly psychologically and physically (and in the case of doc scratch, sexually) abused by her guardians, forced to murder other children in order to save her own ass, and then yknow, was manipulated by the dude who had caused her species to become exceedingly violent and Never Had A Chance To Succeed.

but upon entering SGRUB, gamzee (who had a good childhood tbh and SUPER great status) and vriska (who yknow. had the shittiest upbringing of any of the trolls) both lost alternia and what it meant to them, which was simultaneously freeing & healing (vriska) and a cause for new power & destruction (gamzee).

you probably were expecting a joke response but rn i’m buzzed and writing homestuck analysis so!!! yeah

kanaya maryam, somehow wedged into the crawlspace of her home, surrounded by empty bags of chips and looking more smug than usual: Hehe Hibernation Bitch

kanaya, every summer, basically forces rose to come with her to a really fucking hot place, a different one each time. She likes standing in the sun and the gentle 100°F warmth

banishedquasiroyal:

kanaya convinces jade to take her to a planet close to a dying sun and just basks in the rays for a few hours and gets like. the universes most unnoticeable tan.

Rose installs a giant heat lamp into one of her mansion’s many spare rooms, and Kanaya spends upwards of six hours basking under it. -Gill

banishedquasiroyal:

kanaya is just a fucking lesbian space crocodile and she does dumb shit 24/7 and probably eats rocks anyway i love her and she’s my favorite troll

kanaya has an obsession with biting just about anything she can, and as such there are bite marks on just about everything in the house (unless it’s nice or rose’s). once Rose found her in the living room literally eating a full twilight book whole while watching the corresponding movie and she just turned around and went back to bed. the sight still haunts her

banishedquasiroyal:

HER TEETH ARE CONSTANTLY GROWING AND SHE NEEDS TO WEAR DOWN THOSE FANGS

Rose gets a salt lamp just because. she sets it down and walks away. she comes back to kanaya with her mouth around it, about to cronch. They make eye contact and Kanaya slowly cronches part of it

Thanks For Buying Me This Snack Dear 5:)

I live for these “trolls are the worst parents ever” headcanons. I honestly have thought about “just shove the babies into the woods” type stuff before, I love it

banishedquasiroyal:

the only troll who DIDNT try to kick their descendent out when they were still in preschool is vriska, who was like….Yeah lusii suck. You’re sticking with me pal

TZ: we gotta let them find lusii, it’s important, and it’s such an important bond! Vriska, thinking about spidermom: if anyone touches my babies I will make a nest out of their torso

banishedquasiroyal:

vriska has like. such a horrifying relationship with adult figures that she’s highly motivated to be fully competent in every single way. and she IS but sometimes after the kid is asleep she just curls up next to the washing machine and passes out while it goes through a cycle and terezi finds her in the morning drooling and at a weird angle in the laundry room

ANYWAY DOMESTIC VRISREZI IS BLISS
