i am kara, i have been a fan of homestuck since 2021-2022 (i dont remember exactly). i have been inlove with karkat vantas ever since i laid my eyes on him. i thought he was amazing, funny, cute; really all those traits when i first read homestuck. he still remains my favorite character to this day
i love him for plenty of reasons. its hard for me to describe them though. hes a great character and i enjoy how he was written. i love going back into his pesterlogs and seeing his dialog. the way he types is so great to me too...❤️ hes like a small animal in an enclosure sometimes. watching him panic and get mad at himself while he runs into the cage walls, repeatedly hitting himself while doing so. causing him 20 minutes from now to insult how stupid he was. i think its cute
hes also really, really, ugly. i dont think hes ugly but others call him ugly. the way hussie drew him always captured me in a way that i could never get over. he doesnt look the way he acts, i dont know how, but he looks like he'd squeak if you picked him up by the torso. the way his hair is drawn is so beautiful as well, the shapes go together nicely and create a perfect silhouette that defines (mainly how he acted pre-SGRUB) his character neatly. its like a nice little bow. his horns as well, for a troll thats so sharply tounged he lacks the vibe where his horns are. they resemble more like crab eyes. i think they look adorable on him too.
no, not really.
i dont think he would like me back if he was real, if im being honest. i think thats okay though. i like him more as a vessel i can just imagine in my mind an throw around like a ragdoll whenever i want, and that being my permanent dopamine supplier for the rest of my life. the best i can think of our relationship going forward would be colleagues or friends. i'm not a fan of self-inserting myself into stories so i dont wish to be apart of his life during the events of homestuck or even shortly after. as much as i do like the idea of shipping myself with his canon and have a self-insert. i prefer to just ship him with a pre-existing character i can (slightly) project my personality onto. not to make them unrecognizable, but enough where i can feel connected to him even if we can never truly meet.
i have shipped him with a multitude of characters before, though i prefer jadekat if i want to go with canonxcanon. i think hes better off with jade. even if i wasnt unhealthily obsessed with him in ways i would still think hes better off with her than me.
