Oh you are evil, I accept your challenge. You have no idea how hard this was. So the character I like the best is Karkat, so here are the 5 things for Equius and Karkat.

Things I like about Equius

  1. I do like his dedication for a cause. Do I hate that it is directed at something fucking awful as blood supremacy, ye. Yes I do. But I also can’t help respect him for his loyalty for this either. He is ride or die for the hierarchy, like a knight to a king. So I can respect that.

  2. I do like his tenacity. He has rage for days, but his fight scenes against monsters with nothing but fists was pretty col. I can’t argue with his skill

  3. (Fucking kill me for this) His coy nature when trying out his kink. Like, he gets nervous talking about his kink or being called out on it. And to see him put himself out there to see if anyone wants to help in his fantasies, that does take some courage to do. I like this side of him because this way I know even in his hardest thick-headedness of castest bullshit and anger issues, he still has a timid and softer side to him that makes him more well-rounded as a character

  4. and on the subject, after looking back…..he doesn’t actually do it without people’s consent. Let’s be clear, I will always hate forcing roleplay on someone who doesn’t want it/doesn’t know. But…when Equius was roleplaying with Gamzee he asked for it. He specifically asked Gamzee directly for roleplaying. When talking with Aradia, he originlly tried to keep things professional as leader but the situation got too much for him to handle. While we can totally argue on whether uninformed consent is real consent (And I am sure Gamzee has no idea what exactly the type of roleplay he was doing) at least Equius asked permission. So that is a positive thing for him.

  6. I do like how he gets so up his ss on ordering people round that it takes him completely be surprise that people will do as he says. Like, every time. That’s funny

Things I hate about Karkat (this is super hard to write out)

  1. I hate how he uses the word Bulge. I’m sorry but the way Karkat uses it it just doesn’t work or something. It always annoys me.

  3. I hate his anger. I know that Karkat is a big angry boy, but I hate how he always seems to lash out at everyone he comes across. Hell, even at himself with those future memos. There are some cases I get why, like Karkat being angry for John destroying his home, but most of the time it is just perpetual anger just because. Like, at times when he gets embarrassed and hisses like an angry cat, I get it. But he is angry all the time, without and specific reason, and if he was a really person, I don’t know if I would be around him for long

  4. Karkat’s apparent God Complex. How he needs to be in command and take control and be an ass about it. I know that he can be a decent leader, like what Terezi and future Karkat says, but when he gets so power hungry it makes me want to bang my head on the desk.

  5. I still hate how he treated Jade. I’m sorry, I get how he dislikes John for his hate-love SPADES feelings, but that does not excuse the awful things he said about Jade. Especially when there seems to be no point other than to insult her.

  6. I hate Karkat’s inferiority complex. I get the blood trash thing, but it is because of that that is lead to his actions. He let it get so into ingrained into his head that he felt like he had to hide himself away, and lash at anyone who approaches. Literally everything that I hate about Karkat

In all honesty, I didn’t think there was one, because I didn’t think they would win.

Not to say they didn’t “defeat” the game or anything. But in my mind, I assumed that the game was eternal. When when a null session was created, it would just perpetually trap them within a time loop to repeat the game without ever realizing it. And if they won…well…the loop would still happen. They would be sent back in time, or transformed, or something, unable to escape.

Like, there was never an end. The purpose of the game was to keep them trapped in the game, to keep them in that loop forever because they can. And the whole point of Homestuck was to see the kids break out of that loop.

Troll Rank6

1. Karkat

2. Gamzee

3. Vriska

4. Terezi

5. Eridan

6. Kanaya  

7. Sollux

8. Tavros

9. Nepeta

10. Feferi

11. Aradia

11. Equius


Karkat still has my heart. I just can’t seem to throw him away after all that he went through (like his final memo)

I still like Vriska. Even though I literally just saw her blind Terezi, I just get the feeling that from her and Tavros and Kanaya, that she can be a good person. That she is a good person.

Kanaya and Sollux went up too. Kanaya from the Karkat’s last memo moment, and I forgot how funny and chill Sollux can be. So they got lifted.

And yeah, Aradia and Equius are tied for last. I can’t bring myself to hate Equius more, but I also can’t like him more either. So tied. Aradia also dipped lower,  ‘cause I still don’t know her personality other than “murder” and “soulless” even with a body now. So yeah, tied

Part 122 End

There are Parts WITHIN Parts?! How the hell am I going to tag this now?!!

Whatever, I will get to 5.2 next time, I guess.

So, while the battle was glossed over, I am sort of glad for it. It spoke of what exactly happened without going too deep into it. Like it gave us enough information to understand the characters and motives, without bogging down the story.

Because the main focus should still be on the Kids, at least I think it should be. Maybe I am biased ‘cause (human) but it is creative to have the Trolls be the origin story of the kids.

So…unfortunately Scratch was right….for the battle to be pulled off….Aradia had to die. Did Vriska needed to be the one to kill her, probably not, I still blame Scratch for that. And now they have a a demon running amok and forced them into their own Troll Exile, which sucks. Was the demon Jack? Was it something else? Was it the noodle arm from before (don’t you think I have forgotten about that one). But damn, what a fucking twist that was.
