so assuming trolls and lusi are the same species, and lusi are diploid and trolls are haploid, (or some similar system of ploidy doesnt have to be haplodiploid necessarily) . karkat could be a mutant “lusus” in that hes diploid but hes homozygous for the lusus-determining allele (like complementary sex determination in insects) meaning he develops as a troll. and the red blood could just be whatever you call those alleles that stick around cuz theyre positioned close to the allele thats selected f

everything gets compared to homestuck because so much shit went on in homestuck it’s insane. short web thing about satellites has color-coded text and a certain voice to it? just like homestuck. juggalo subculture marches on the united states capital? just like homestuck. both are totally valid comparisons to make because the thing was so fucking expansive
