as a troll's lips, tongue, the inside of their mouth, and arguably their fingernails are either black or a grey variant, it can be assumed that the waterline and inner portions of the eye would also be naturally black.

Troll fingernails are yellow.

Except Vriska’s, hers are painted blue.

I once heard a headcanon that said that psionic trolls have eyelashes in their blood color (like Vriska and Aradia) while non-psionics have plain black lashes (like Terezi and Nepeta and Kanaya) and obviously we haven't seen any evidence of that with male trolls but then again stylistically male trolls just aren't drawn with them

Interesting ideas

~Mod T

Did Equius smile when he died because he got off on it or something? Or was it because Gamzee once said making Equius smile would be the biggest miracle and Equius wanted to make sure Gamzee got that miracle? I can't really remember. :V

He smiled because he was pleased to fill his role in the hemospectrum

aka, being oppressed by a higherblood

and that Gamzee was finally accepting his role as a highblood instead of just goofing off as usuall

~Mod T

Didn't Hussie state that the veins of troll eyes are the colour of their horns? (Seen when Terezi gets he sight back and her eyes are "blood"shot orange.)

Yes

~Mod T

Troll mouths are blood colored i think.

Images would disagree but this is Homestuck we’re talking about

~Mod T

Hey does lamp still work here

His name’s still on the thing but only me and the other one have been on recently so I have no idea

~Mod T

Equius has been my fav. Troll from his introduction page! Also he was my first HS cosplay! What a qt!

~Mod T

(Different Anon) Does it really matter "who liked him first"? You can like him just as much, no matter when you started.

It really doesn’t. 

~Mod T

Aw man my brother/sister/fellow, you truly do wound me. Equius based content creators have existed far before Mr. Zahhak went mainstream! We were sparse,admittedly, and as still not as powerful as he bases around other (admittedly more relevant) trolls, but we have existed back in those dark day of Equiqui, and it would seem that this new golden age of Zahhak has finally brought us to light! Praise be to the b100b100ds my brother and sister Homestucks! Praise be!

I’m not saying there weren’t any, I’m saying the same thing you are. That they were sparse. But not anymore

The Zahhaks will stay in the Void no longer!

~Mod T

Equius's nails are black maybe from dropping things on them constantly

Or they’re oil stained from working on robots.

~Mod T

equius was also smiling because he knew nepeta would find him and didn't want her to see him dead without a smile (just a headcanon but knowing meowrails I could see it being canon)

That is mere fanon dear follower

~Mod T

Nevermind. Troll tongues are also gray.

Yep

~Mod T

why do people act like Equius was purrfect when he was actually hemophobic around most others, and manipulative??

He is the only troll to never be shown actually attempting to hurt or kill  another troll.  He also became less hemophobic as the story progress, if only slightly.  He wasn’t really manipulative at all? I mean, he made a few attempts but he kinda sucked at it. He preferred being manipulated with more any way. He also played a major role in the story, but from behind the scenes. (Built Tavros’s legs.  He built Robo-Aradia, without which the trolls all would have died.)

The dude might have been rude, but he did nothing but good for the trolls, and the story as a whole.

~Mod T

Headcanon: Equius is so committed to the hemospectrum because of his mutant strength. Higher bloods are supposed to be stronger than all below them, so freakishly strong Equius could be seen as a huge threat to highbloods and immediately culled if he showed any sign of believing himself better than his blood color. Either Equius realized this himself and committed himself to the hemospectrum for his own safetry, or Aurthour taught him it at a young age to keep him safe.

I’ll take it.

~Mod T

I thought equius was smiling because he was getting off on Gamzee choking him and finally acting like a highblood

You can believe that if you like

but when it comes to the real reason:

~Mod T

wait if you make a dead Equius joke are you beating a dead horse?

That would be a dead Horuss joke, get your Zahhak’s straight.

~Mod T

Except, you know, the whole using Robo-Aradia as a tool of date rape.

Like I said, He made some attempts to be manipulative, but he sucked all right.

If Aradia didn’t catch on and fell forcefully in love with him, then there’d be an some issues.

But you have to remember, he’s frickin 13. Most 13 year olds if they had the ability to make their crush like them, they’d go for it.

~Mod T

Man, you might want to be careful about publishing people asks stating any opinion against Equius. Some bloggers of such can be rather... Extreme...

Hey man, I love Equ to death. If there’s an opinion against Equius on this blog, it’s because I’m defending him. K? thnx bye

~Mod T

I'm enjoying all of the sarcastic and hilarious answers on here. They are second only to the facts as to why I followed and stayed.

Thanks anon : )

~Mod T

Based on who Equius is as a character and his belief in the hemospectrum, it's more likely that Equius was smiling because Gamzee was finally acting like a highblood. Equius' deal with orders is more about the hierarchy and order than it is about any kind of fetish. Equius obsessed over Gamzee's behavior because he acts outside the norm for what someone have such a high caste is supposed to. So his smile likely stems from Gamzee finally, you know, doing what he's supposed to do.

You said that a lot better than I did

~Mod T

Hello! I don't know if you've been asked this, but do you know what Meenah's lusus is?

All we know is that it wasn’t Gl'bgolyb

~Mod T

I love you, I love all Zahhak lovers

Thanks ^_^

~Mod T

Re: Date Rape... He wasn't even gonna sleep with her, though???? Like he just wanted her to love him back, and yeah that's creepy, but 1. one of the people he frequently hung out with was VRISKA so he didn't really know better and 2. IT HAD LITERALLY NOTHING TO DO WITH SEX

Passing it on

~Mod T

I think a lot of the anons are forgetting the fact that it is possible to notice a characters flaws and still like that character. Yes Equius had flaws, yes we like him. Yes I have flaws, yes people like me.

Exactly

~Mod T

In your opinion, why does everyone hate feferi and equius, but love aradia and gamzee?

The only reason I can think that anyone would hate Fef is that they think “wweh, she broke eridan’s heart, wweh” which excuse her for being a person.

I image people hate Equ because he’s the troll equivalent of a racist and he’s kinda weird and some people can’t appreciate that.

I think people love Aradia because she’s such a dynamic character. She’s changed so much since she was introduced it’s like wow.

And I think people love Gam because we just have no idea what he’s doing and it’s just like “haha what the fuck”. On top of his already amazing character.

Please do not send asks telling me you disagree, I am well aware that people will disagree with me and I don’t really have an argument to give. Thank you.

~Mod T

please put tw: rape ont he date rape posts please u_u

Oh, gomen, I just have so many messages I forgot. I’ll make sure to go change it right away. Sorry.

~Mod T

I think people also hate Feferi due to her "Lack of activity." She didn't seem to do much, but she did ask the Furthest ring to produce the bubbles, which is a major plot point, and pretty damn important.

That too

~Mod T

As far as I know, Nepeta and Equius are the only trolls who lack a body count. I could be wrong on this one, but I'm p Sure everybody else has at least one murder under their belt. Just saying that for all his faults, Equius still didn't kill anyone, which is better than most trolls can say, and also that OBVIOUSLY HAVING A WORKING MIORALLEGIANCE HELPS TROLLS OUT YO

Nepeta attacked Gamzee, not a body count but still attempt to kill.

Karkat never hurt anyone either, he made a lot of threats to so it is sometimes forgotten.

~Mod T

So if John is John's dad, then that means John is both Grandpa and Poppop... And he gets killed again. That proves it. John dies again, which is what Hussie would do. Of course, if it was John after going back in time for some stupid reason, he'd still be God Tier. Calling it now: John, as John's dad, comes out of nowhere during the final battle and beats LE with nothing more than eight million cans of shaving cream, two cars, and a pipe.

John isn’t Dad.

John is John’s dad in the sense that he is male identifying and responsible for his “birth".  In the same way, John is the dad to all the kids.

~Mod T

I think a lot of people forget that Eridan is a history buff

~Mod T

response to the troll killings ask: Karkat is responsible for Sollux's first death when he couldn't bring him into the session before the vast glub. then Feferi revived him with a kiss. everyone always forgets that.

Well yes, but that wasn’t on purpose, that’s why I didn’t count it. But as a general reminder to everyone.

~Mod T

Boner

~Mod T

Can we get some Spades Slick love? I mean hes such a badass character who loves stabbing, licorice SCOTTY DOGS, and he just rolls with the punches. Also, he and Ms. Paint are the cutest fucking ship

~Mod T

is there any given reason to why sollux was "half-dead"? or is that just another kind of random thing that happened due to his duality theme?

I spent forever trying to figure this out and there is just no reason behind it.

Sollux gets really close to explaining it at one point but then he’s like “Fuck it”: X

~Mod T

Pre-scratch Betty Crocker WAS the Condesce. Nanna says in her conversation with Fedorafreak that she was raised by a witch that ''was not human''. She left the pre-scratch universe when one of her factories got hit by a meteor by making it look like she died in the explosion. Hold on i'll find the page where this is mentionned.

Continued:

p=005856 “pipefan413: Years went by. The girl was nearly ready to put her plan into action. But then, just like that, the baroness disappeared. She was never seen or heard from again. ”

Alright, I fold. I never put those pieces together. Wow.

~Mod T

sad headcanon, the signless passed on anger to karkat because that was the last thing he felt as he died. the disciple passed on her love to nepeta because thats the last thing she felt as she died.

~Mod T

Regarding the submission about the scratch, the meteors weren't duplicated. What happened when the Scratch was initiated was that Skaia retroactively changed which meteors went to which portals. It's still the same babies on the same meteors, they're just being sent to different times.

Yeah, that.

~Mod T

make that ask rebloggable please

Which one? The headcanon one?

~Mod T

So, GCat was created from Frigglish? Is that stated in canon or just a theory?

That’s a theory.

~Mod T

It's kinda sorta a headcannon but it could be that Sollux was only half dead due to being the dominate twin in a case of fetal resorption, which is where one twin adsorbs the other. It would also explain why he has two sets of horns, could explain why his psyonics were so strong, and why he was only half dead.

That’s really weird. But no impossible.
