well i play human karkat

as you

probably already know

since he and troll rose ill advisedly made out that one time B)

i've been rethinking my concept of human karkat though lately he is very difficult to species swap and keep his personality recognizable, he'd be too well adjusted as a human. he needs. something. to make him miserable and paranoid and self loathing.

Why yes, I do seem to recall that wonderfully unfortunate makeout session.

Haha yeah, the troll session is a bitch to translate into human terms since stuff like AND THEN SHE BLEW HER ARM AND EYE OFF AND EVERYONE WAS COOL WITH IT don't. Really go over so well here!

But uh yes, I do feel you about having difficulty finding something that makes Karkat suitably angry. Personally I made him a first (second? the way they count this always confuses me) generation American, so he's got all the pressure of making the family proud and being the first to achieve something beyond working at a restaurant all his life delivering curry along with the insecurity of his only 'real life' friend being more of a socially maladjusted shut-in than he is. Which. I think sort of works?

And if it doesn't I just go WELL HE IS ALSO PISSED AS HELL BECAUSE HE ALMOST NEVER SLEEPS since timezones are a bitch. I will do anything to indulge myself in the fun that is Indiankat.

ahh that is a decent idea. and yeah i will never give up karkat's insomnia, no one can take his horrible sleeping patterns or lack thereof away from me.

it is just hard finding something for him to hide and agonize over and give himself a dumb inferiority complex over. HE'S... WAY TOO SUITED.... TO BEING A HUMAN.... damn he might actually be happy what the hell.

I know, it's ridiculous. Short of a hideous facial disfigurement everything just seems kind of...minor compared to his troll issues, haha. KARKAT STOP BEING DIFFICULT LET US JAM YOU INTO OUR AUS.

i knowww

i'm quite partial to anemic!karkat though. and that he has demonic bright red eyes he covers up with gray contacts. STILL IT SEEMS SO MINOR. geezum crow. maybe his self loathing could come from outside influences. VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE.

Transgender!karkat always seemed really appropriate to me ever since I saw someone talking about how he'd be terrified of puberty because of his eyes turning red and revealing his blood color.

yeah i have a friend who goes with that headcanon! i like that one too. as for playing it, i would, however i'm hesitant about it since i'm not trans* myself and i wouldn't like to make an accidental uninformed blunder and make an ass out of myself. nor do i want to be thought of as being exploitative or other names i've seen being tossed around at people who choose to interpret homestucks as trans*. it's a pretty sensitive subject, haha.
