gamzee’s outfit is based off of pierrot clowns, or whatever they’re called
What you are about to read is probably a bit weird, it's my attempt at making sense of the biological cycle of trolls.
Trolls are a triploid species, with a triploid biological cycle. The mother grub (3n) releases eggs (n), if these are fertilised by combined troll slurry (they are absorbent, in the primitive times trolls probably had to jizz over them instead of using buckets), they hatch into trolls (2n). If they are not fertilised, however, a virgin mother grub (n) is born (along with all other kinds of lusii).
A matriorb is made when a virgin mother grub eats a fertilised egg (2n) intact. At this point, the egg dissolves in the innards of the virgin mother grub and goes through a metamorphosis, into a matriorb (with the adding of the virgin mother grub’s gamete).
Queer theorisks also point out that the quadrant system which permits various concupiscent partners was probably a result of troll reproduction being based off of the mixing of a large quantity of a lot of trolls’ genetic material. This necessity to share that much genetic material and with so many people probably provided the necessity to have multiple partners.
The history of troll biology is incredibly obscure, as before meeting humanity, trolls didn’t see any value in preserving that kind of information or learning much about the past at all.
The trolls and lusii, unlike humanity, don’t have sex chromosomes. Instead, they have chromochromosomes (on top of the 27 pairs of others).
Each troll has two chromochromosomes, one of them defines characteristics like blood saturation, horn shape and size, number of molts, height, etc. There is only one variety of this chromosome, appointed chromosome V.
The second one has twelve different varieties, all according to blood hue, psionics, and other hue specific attributes, it also potentially modifies characteristics like horn size or general height reached. These twelve chromosomes recieve the subsequent names: Α (alpha), Δ (delta), Λ (lambda), Π (pi), Ι (iota), Υ (upsilon), Τ (tau), Ν (nu), Κ (kappa), Σ (sigma), Μ (mu), Χ (chi). [Order from warmest to coolest on the hemospectrum].
Kankri and Karkat’s mutation is caused by a trisomy in the chromochromosomes, wherein they have both the Χ and A chromosomes. This would be extremely controversial to discover, seeing as that basically turns the hemospectrum from a line into a circle, and makes the hierarchy seem even more pointless than it was.
Although not portrayed in the graph, both the mother grub and trolls release two types of gametes: those that have chromosome V (gV) and those that have a chromochromosome (gC). If there is one there isn't the other.
Lusii are born only from the gC, trolls occur when a gC egg and a gV gamete meet or vice versa. The mother grub is the result of a fertilized egg (VC) combined with a virgin mother grub's gamete (gC).
more comic sneak peak, try and guess if he's laughing or really depressed XD
at this rate, i'll take a week or two to finish this comic, so look forward to it hehe
Some doodles of these guys, red grey and black.
Additional comment under cut:
Seriously though, the contrast between the two hands is so painful what the fuck happened to the bottom one 😭
have some really cute rosemary
i love love love how rose came out in this
so, i haven't posted much these days, busy world, blah blah, in the meantime:
please check out my brother’s music on his youtube channel, he makes some really cool retro music, with a program that emulates the sound chips and systems of gaming consoles and other stuff, and it would be nice to see him get more recognition :]
personally i really enjoy the album he made (The Great Mechanical Orchestra)
thnx for checking it outt (and if you can, leave him a couple nice comments ;))
When Harrison told Lázló twice within the same ten minutes that he found their conversations "intel·lectually stimulating" (Lázló hadn't said shit), I leant into my friend and told her: "yeah, he wants to stimulate something else". Lo and behold, I was right.
Every movie that starts out by emphasizing the heterosexuality of the main character is bound to be a bit wierd, if you know what I mean. At the halfpoint, I was upset that there weren't any compelling female characters.
The Brutalist is a film about a man, like many a movie. Specifically, László Tóth, a brutalist (ha) architect with a very baroque character. It's a story about his survival, ascent and downfall, all told by the entering and leaving of people from his life.
First, Atilla, the kind family that was going to host them until they could get settled. I really loved how affectionate they were with each other, it contrasted with the previous scene (the "i'm straight guys" scene i mentioned) and defied my expectations. I really enjoyed the relationship they had, and was sad at the betrayal of Audrey. This marks a period of relative happiness at having a place to express his creativity, and is what eventually gets László into contact with Harrison.
Second is Harry Lee Van Buren, who made me laugh so much when he started talking. I don't live in an english speaking country, so people that talk like game show hosts probably exist, but it was just so funny to me and i don't know what to think about that. Regardless, I liked his character and it provided a good segway into knowing Harrison.
Harrison, the third important character of the first part, is a rich architecture snob that reallyappreciates László's thoughtful humming. At this point, I really appreciated the sincerity shared between Harrison and László, Harrison seemed very human.
The second part is where everything comes crashing down. Firstly, we meet László's wife, Erzsébet. I really really liked her. One of our first impressions of her is that masturbatory scene and I was like,,, you go girl. I do think that this movie falls into the trope of "women are interesting because they're tragic" (Erzsébet spends most of her time upset about things or being upset by other people), but most of the characters of this movie are tragic, so... it's fine? I guess? Also, I found the depiction of her chronic pain satisfying (I don't have any chronic pain, but Felicity Jones is an amazing actress, and it seemed realistic from what I've heard from other people).
The disappointment in the second part was that, I really thought the drug addiction and such would go into a different direction, I mean this in two ways: even though I accidentally "predicted" the rape, I insinuate homoeroticism in all the characters ever; basically, it came a bit out of nowhere? And, I loved that the reason Erzsébet died was because of László's vice, and also one of the only moments she seemed completely satisfied.
This film didn't have a clear cut moral, or a point (or maybe I'm just blind), but it was an amazing story. I liked all the characters overall, and it was just that: different personalities interacting in the Penisvania of the past. I remember thinking that the film ended a bit abruptly, but nevertheless, I enjoyed it.
these nerds would all be in some sort of creative writing club, and it would be amazing
i felt so at peace these eight hours without electricity, feeling like society was falling apart, either there’s somethibg wring with me or there’s somethibg wring with the rest of the world😭
sum doodles through all my exams, i haven’t had an exam-less week in over a month :,(
also, porrim so handsome in this whatttt
