Okay. So like I am reading now. And apparently Charles is a cyborg, yes?
Cause, uh, both Gamzee's boyfriend one of them at least and his sorta adoptive father are really big into robot building. Gamzee understands shit all of it, but he'll probably be dragged along to meet Equius and Darkleer.
Okay. Wait. Lemme give a quick run down on troll romance. I'm sure he'll get a more hilarious and in depth one in character cause one of our trolls here is a real romantic expert.
First of all, trolls are as a species bisexual homosexuality and heterosexuality are like weird kinks for them, they don't even have names for it. Rather than have one kind of romance like humans, they have four quadrants, which they are all expected to fill in their life time.
There is the flushed quadrant, which is what closest resembles the human concept of love. So love, desire to reproduce, that kinda stuff. There is the pale quadrant, which is kind of like platonic soul mates. No desire to reproduce, but this quadrant is real important because it involve one more stable partner calming down a more unstable partner. Trolls are a violent race so very important. There is the black quadrant, which is basically foe-yay/hatelove. They are in hate with a partner, but still wanna reproduce with them. It is complicated. And then there is the ashen quadrant, which uniquely involves three trolls and has one mediating troll kinda going in between two other trolls to make sure they don't kill each other. There is no reproducing in this quadrant either.
Uh. Yeah. Gamzee is a real champ and has his flushed and his pale quadrant filled, so he kinda has two boyfriends! And his flushed partner is a real robots geek, so yeah. Just expect to be taken home as a show and tell piece at some point.
I swear it makes more sense when you are used to it.
Yeah. I tried to read it once waaaay back, and I couldn't wrap my brain tentacles around it. I will certainly give it another go one of these days though!
...yelling about romance. Boy. There are a lot of people who like to do that in Cherry's life.
I didn't manage to really get into it until I was already attached to some of the characters through rp. The first arc is somehow better to re-read than to read the first time.
True. But are any of those short grey aliens with nubby horns?
Hi, this is Equius, one of Gamzee's two boyfriends, and it sounds like our guys will be running across each other! If your guy ever needs repairs, Equius will be happy to help.
fff this is actually perfect considering that the canon point I took this guy from, he switched back to human parts (for insane reasons), and he might need someone to...give them back to him again. Would that be doable?
Actually, in canon he makes robotic body parts for his friends who are missing limbs, so he's good at doing the organic/inorganic blend thing. He would be delighted to meet your guy and work with him!

I've got this weirdo clown cultist that needs more religious bros. All of them.
no subject
I am so down for this. CHILDREN OF GOD UNITE! Except...if you're a weirdo clown cultist.

This one time Gamzee thought he was both the messiahs of his own religion, but that happens to everybody once in a while, right?
no subject
...Cherry is already put off by his blasphemy. They'll be bros in no time.
no subject
Haha, just wait until you hear him speak. Never a sentence without a fuck throw in there somewhere.

Guess someone is going to get their mouth washed out with soap. Or...something as equally horrifying to his kind. Yes.

Mrs Brisby got him to stop swearing around her by pinching his cheeks each time he did. /helpful

That's not helpful. Maybe he'll just whack him with the Bible. |D

It kind of makes sense. Maybe I'll finally be able to read this since so many people keep pushing me to do it a-ahahah
I seriously hope someone gives Cherry this explanation ICly. He would love to study it and understand how it works.
no subject
And I'm sure Karkat will give the explanation if conversations go in that direction. He loves yelling at people about romance.

Is it in Equius' power of fixing robotses?
