1. Porrim

2. Meenah

3. Aranea

4. Kankri

5. Latula

Meeting more trolls here is a dream come true. Man do I love these guys.

Porrim is so fucking cool. Fucking Gothic Vampire Queen. Chill, mature, fights for her rights as a woman and against gender roles. Rocking tattoos, piercings, another badass fashionista. God she is a fucking dream. Not only that, but she speaks her mind, and doesn’t put up with bullshit. And she also has another mothering instinct in her, like Kanaya, and a need to care for Kankri, while not putting up with his shit. I love that. I love her. I need more of her please yes thanks.

Meenah is still second, and Aranea is third, and pretty easy to explain. Meenah is a fun wild card, has a plan and will take charge and follow her plan. Which involves violence and explosions. I respect those things when pointed in the right direction (like Lord English’s Turtle head). Plus, it is fun to watch her act so baller.

Aranea is fun to be with, loves to tell stories, and is overall really nice. Of course I would love her. But Meenah’s excentric nature and Porrim’s aura of cool tops her.

Kankri. Fucking love him. He is such a doof. He is fucking cute in looks. He goes on about his culture’s peace problems (fucking knew there would be problems), genuinely cares about the issues of marginalization that he is talking about. (Anyone who can talk that much has to care). Is concern with keeping with trigger warnings (which I appreciate). He wants to be a “big boy” and taken seriously when he talks, only to really just be a kid. It is just so cute overall.

So why 4th? First, I just like the other trolls better. A lot.

Second, yeah he can be a bit of a self-entitled ass. Like praising how Latula managed to live her life without smelling and pointing it out like how she is able to live her life, when Latula didn’t really like her life being pointed out like that and making her feel self-conscious.

Or pushing aside Porrim’s feelings on her gender issues because they weren’t as important as the other issues. Not saying that there weren’t a lot of problems to address, just that he could have had some tact addressing other people’s feelings and not force feed his own hero-complex to everyone.

So, I love the Karkat things about him (rage-face, in-depth lectures on his topics), but he can learn not to be the SJW negative stereotype here.

Finally, Latula. She reminds me a lot of Dippy Fresh. Like, she is the stereotype fun rad cool guy, but by leaning it in on how rad she is, she isn’t as cool. I don’t know, she seems fine. Enjoys life and doesn’t take it too seriously, so I don’t exactly hate her. But I don’t exactly like her either.
