Mini-Rant: COLORFUL FANTROLLS.

:EDIT: OH MY COD, I GOT INTO THE JOURNAL PORTAL. HOPY SHIT.
But yeah, thank you for all your comments but sadly, it will take me sometime to respond to them so please be patient with me!
Also,

TO ALL THOSE WHO COME HERE TO COMMENT AND HATE ON HOMESTUCK: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0la5DB…



Okay.
So.

I've been noticing that in all a those 'Bad fantroll blogs', most a the fantrolls that are put up there are those that either have 50% - 100% colored hair, a huge fashion sense that exceeds Kanaya's somehow and/or they have mutant/rainbow blood.

Now, if any Homestucker out has READ ALL THE ACTS, INCLUDING THE INTERMISSION, they will CLEARLY RECALL THAT TROLLS DO NOT HAVE OVERLY COLORED HAIR/CLOTHES/BLOOD.

In fact, in Troll Society, it is considered a DEATH WISH to wear clothing that isn't at least 15% black/grey (Meaning that the shirt MUST BE BLACK SO THAT YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE SYMBOL AND IT'S COLOR IS or else it will seem like you're trying to trick other trolls into believing that you may be trying to hide your blood color or trying to make it seem like what it isn't.), not to mention that colored hair (This includes WHITE/GREY HAIR.) is a potential give-away to the troll's identity and makes them easier to be stalked and culled.

AND RAINBOW/PINK/WHITE/BLACK BLOOD CANNOT EXIST WITHIN A TROLL'S VEINS IN TROLL SOCIETY BECAUSE THEY ARE CONSIDERED HIGHLY MUTANOUS AND ARE LIABLE TO BEING CULLED AS EARLY AS WRIGGLER STAGE.

Also, rainbowbloods would be Brownbloods if my color palette logic is correct, since blood cannot just 'refuse' to merge into other liquids like water, oil, etc.

Overall, this little rant's bottom line is that if your troll is very colorful, that means that they have a huge risk of being noticed by seadwellers/murderous landdwellers and will most likely be killed the second they step out of their hives after a good few nights of being out in the open.

Now, this doesn't mean that you should make your troll as plain as Karkat and all (Plain as in he only wears a black shirt with his symbol on it, grey pants and black shoes). Adding maybe a little bit a color/fashion to a troll is a-okay but DON'T GO OVER THE TOP.

Look at Nepeta. She wears a blue hat, green trenchcoat, blue 'pawshoes' and tail, grey pants and her shirt with her symbol on it. Since this is her initial 'theme' to look feline-like, this is technically okay, even if the green and the blue are somewhat easy to spot. Your troll shouldn't surpass Nepeta's fashion there as it is already colorful enough. Kanaya's is borderline and MUST NOT BE PASSED.

Now, look at Eridan. He sports alot a colors BUT MAINLY DARK ONES. His cape is a dark purple and the other color are relatively 'dark'. Do note that as a seadweller, blueish/watery colors will not be noticed very well by the untrained eye, especially if said seadweller is at a level where not much light can be reached since moonlight isn't as strong as sunlight. Even with his purple cape and other purple features, he can possibly 'blend in' with his surroundings if he's careful enough.

IF HE WERE TO WEAR BRIGHT COLORS HOWEVER, THEN HE WOULD HAVE A REALLY GOOD REASON TO DESPERATELY WANT TO FILL BUCKETS WITH SOMEONE.

Also, do note two things:

       1. Trolls that are able to defend themselves in open battles usually sport 'color' on their clothing (i.e Kanaya, Nepeta, Eridan since he has his Ahab's Crosshairs). Now, trolls that are able to defend themselves but prefer a 'sneaky/unnoticed approach', they will have little to no color on their clothing with the exception a their symbol (i.e Equius, Karkat, Terezi, Possibly Gamzee).

This may be a reason why murderous trolls often attack in the night as they wear dark colors and are unable to be noticed easily.
Trolls that are able to face one on one strifes without having the advantage will possibly sport color although my logic there may be wrong so take it with a grain a salt?


       2. As said above, the night scenario. If your troll wears highly vibrant colors, they WILL BE SEEN, EVEN AT NIGHT.

Say that you have a fantroll that wears little to no color on their clothes and a fantroll that wears a whole variety a colors plus a highly designed outfit (i.e a complex frilly dress, long-ass cape, etc.). Pit the two up, give them equally powerful weapons, wait until dark and watch them fight. Guess who wins? THE ONE WITH THE MORE OR LESS DARK AND NOT AS COMPLEX CLOTHING.

Why so?
Since the troll with the more or less dark colors and less complicated clothing design is both hard to see in the dark and can comfortably move around since their clothing doesn't have any seams/long pieces of cloth that can be stepped on/grabbed/etc., they will make quick work of the other whom cannot move as fast in case of risking a fall/getting caught in something like a bush/etc.


So after I told you all a that, isn't this whole 'Mary Sue Quality' making sense now?


Now,
Let's move to the mutantbloods.

Since your troll must go through the Trials in the Wriggling Caverns before they are given a symbol and a lusus and released into the strange world that Alternia is, this means that there are certain requirements that one must meet in order to get through alive.

       1. Overly mutant bloods are to be culled when seen. Overly mutant bloods normally consist of white and black bloods, along with other greys on the greyscale spectrum. They are culled because technically, they are like a glitch in the system. They shouldn't have been born but a genetic-based error allows them to hatch out a their eggs to crawl out and reveal their white/black carapaces. Red, Orange, etc. Mutant bloods will not be culled on sight as they are 'a natural occurrance', seeing as they at least have a color which, in turn, will be useful for when bucket-filling is necessary. White/Blackbloods will just make the genetic material in which it is combined with either very light or very dark, not to mention that that defect that allows more and more white/blackbloods to appear in each batch of eggs will become more and more common in all newly-hatched grubs, thus causing a total override of their genetic signature that could be proven very fatal to the whole Troll race as other defects will arise and cause more and more problems.

THIS IS WHY THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO GO OUT A THE WRIGGLING CAVES ALIVE TO TURN INTO THE FANTROLL YOU HAVE TODAY.

      2. IF THEY SOMEHOW GET THROUGH THE WRIGGLING CAVERNS, HOWEVER.
They will need a lusus that more or less has the exact same bloodcolor as them.
BUT GUESS WHAT.
LUSII THAT HAVE THAT DEFECT ARE ALSO CULLED.
So you're technically stabbing yourself in the back since lusii have to have more or less a the same bloodcolor as their troll.



If you read all a that, you deserve all the awards. All a them.
If you didn't and you have a fantroll like this- SHAME ON YOU.
DISHONOR ON YOU.
DISHONOR ON YOUR FAMILY.
DISHONOR ON YOUR COW.
