( I think its interesting that at least three trolls so far have mentioned aspiring to join the ranks of some military/warrior/fighting(?) organization- karkat wants to be a threshecutioner, tavros wants to be a cavalreaper, and it was just stated in equiuses introduction that he would make a good ruffiannihilator (though he would rather be an acheradicator).

I would like to chalk this up to the Adult-Troll space war that the Trolls have going on. Like, the adult lives is about gathering more resources on other planets, so they do need to have a strong military front. Having adults like this bleed into the children’s lives, it doesn’t surprise me that the kids also want a military career.

Also, I want to point out that Terezi also is vying for a government position by going for a lawyer-position. And given that the government is basically military, I say we have 4+ trolls going for the ranks
