Terezi being implied to know Karkat’s true nature as a redblood and canonically being rather sweet about it and reassuring him that their friends would respect him no matter what his blood color takes on a totally different meaning with Friendsim’s reveals

like redblood characters, or just owning a manga with a redblood in it, is grounds for execution because that is extremely heretical

all alternia is like this. the mere knowledge or thought of a redblood is the most unspeakable heresy of blood imaginable, and Tegiri is hardly unusual in this. he is doing exactly what all Alternian kids are expected to do.

even mindfang refused to talk more about the Signless, she was scared of what would happen if she mentioned him too much, THINK ABOUT THAT

now look at Terezi. look at her, i say, she knew all this, she was dedicated to the concept of law, which said that something like Karkat deserves to die and his very birth is a crime of the highest order

and she calms him down, reassures him, and promises that his friends won’t turn against him, that they all believe in him

terezi is retroactively the best thing that ever happened to Alternia
