Are you ready?

Now bear with me guys, because this is mind-blowing. Revolutionary.

Get this: The trolls are

sentient plants.

And the color (colour?) of their blood is related to how spicy they are.

Like how Feferi is really sweet but sometimes disagreeable but basically not spicy at all so she’s got blood that looks more like cupcake icing than a plant. Or a flower. I don’t know. Flowers are cool.

And then Eridan is all eggplant-y and stuff, which is why no one likes him - because eggplants vaguely look like peppers but they don’t taste like them at all so bluh bluh forevver alone

And then from there you go through Gamzee who is too stoned to realize he’s supposed to be a pepper and is totally chill with it until he runs out of sopor slime (fertilizer!?!?!?!?????) and realizes how much of a travesty he is and goes into a murderous rampage

and vriska who is actually secretly a blueberry and that is why she’s always trying to prove how great she is because blueberries are itty bitty (and also non peppers) so she has like a Napoleon complex or something.

And Terezi is actually just unflavored jell-o because you can put in any flavor you want when you make it and that’s why she likes licking other trolls

and from there you go through shades of green and yellow and red (except for tavros who is brown like a gourd and that is why he has self-esteem issues)

and just like real peppers, the trolls get spicier the lower down on the hemospectrum you go (green-yellow-red).

And then Karkat

Karkat is ornery for the same reason habaneros, naga viper peppers, and infinity chilli peppers are red.

Karkat has too much capsaicin in his blood.

Ahahaha, remember this, guys?

SOOOOOO what I did yesterday and a little bit of today, just because why not, I printed out some pictures of the characters from Homestuck (just the kids and trolls, I wasn’t sure if the ancestors and things would scare them or not) and took them with me to the class I’m an assistant in. This is a class of twenty-four 4-5 year olds and I asked them to tell me what they thought/liked about the characters I showed them and was actually really surprised with what they had to say about each of them. I only corrected them about genders and that no, the troll’s horns were not candy corn, and yes they had arms, but otherwise let them run free. 

They were able to pick up a lot from just little pictures. It was also kind of funny to see their reactions, I kind of wish I could have filmed it. They liked the characters with the most colors, so characters like Nepeta, Eridan and Feferi were really popular. Anyways, they all had a lot to say and so it was kind of hard to write everything down, but here are some of the main gems everyone seemed to agree on.

…Damn that one little girl liked Gamzee so much she wanted to keep the picture I was dying.

Brb dying.
