I was cleaning my room this morning and I came to a sudden epiphany.
Santa Claus is a fucking Bard of Time.
That’s right. This motherfucker:
Is one of these motherfuckers:
I mean, Santa has a lot of bard-like qualities. He’s always dormant throughout the entire year up until Christmas Eve. That’s when he just suddenly does his thing, going out to every house in one night and giving every kid their presents. This reminds me of when Gamzee became sobor and went batshit crazy. And after Karkat shooshed him, He just went around and did his own thing. Except, rather than going on a murder spree, Santa travels around the world delivering presents in one night. Also, about that; I think Santa invites the destruction of Time so that he can do that. Time folds and wrinkles around itself as Santa moves from house to house, allowing him to perform his feat all before sunrise. Timezones? Santa doesn’t give a shit about them. It’s like Time doesn’t apply to Santa on Christmas Eve. He breaks it for one night, and does it again the next year. It’s actually kind of awesome in my opinion. Also, destroying Time could be how he’s seemingly immortal. Or, at most, he just slowed down his aging by a lot.
God I just keep thinking about Post-canon Karkat and like there are so many aus focused on all the kids having interspecies offspring but there’s almost no content concerning Karkat’s destiny in rebuilding an entire empire, that’s built off the values of compassion, and communication versus violence and fear and I’m just like why??? Not???
Like without Karkat echidna wouldn’t have even allowed the universe to be created let alone the troll species to repopulate?? Imagine having that responsibility. How seriously he would take that role.
Also I really need to look this up but what if the mother grub had to have slurry samples beforehand in order to make new trolls so instead of all the surviving trolls just putting in their own genetic material they genetically modified (using codes from their own and their dead friends blood) to make completely new trolls. And they make enough the first round just to cover the twelve bloods of the hemospectrum? And like Karkat has the foresight to recognize his new empire is going to need leaders after he’s gone so instead of setting up lusus for all these little wrigglers he ends up pulling a dolorosa on their ass and raises them all firsthand
Basically what I’m proposing is that Karkat ensures the success/longevity of his troll empire by spending the first 18 yrs of it being the best goddamn kindgarten teacher/crabdad possible and everyone else is like these kids cool uncles and aunts and the new troll empire ends up having some of the most balanced, emotionally healthy adult trolls the worlds ever seen lead it.
