HEADS UP - HEAD CANON MEME!

I did this once and I'll do it again!

Anywho, this meme's easy to do! We all know our guys have awesome canon, but what about stuff that only you have come up with and helps you make sense with other stuff? This is that what this is for! Just write down what interesting stuff that you've come up with for your character - doesn't matter how mundane or boring! Write it down here!

If it makes it more exciting? Just post your characters and ask questions!

Tavros' nemesis is a petticoat seagrift pirate herself, actually. And the guy he antagonizes (and gets his ass verbally kicked by) later on is pretty ninja.

So, zombie. It's not like they don't already exist on Alternia anyway!

What does the 'troll' he is supposed to be refer to?

Homestuck is mainly about the adventures of four human kids playing a game that destroys Earth but offers a reward with unlimited creative potential. None of them live near each other, and nearly all the dialogue in the comic is done as chat logs. Early on, the kids find themselves getting harassed by insulting, childish jerks with weird screen names. Their reaction is usually something like "Oh god, the trolls again."

I was afraid I was laying it on a little thick with Tavros' awful typing syntax (which is canon) and references to his sociopathic, adult-free society. Good to know I wasn't! :D Tavros is literally and figuratively an internet troll.

Oh hey I thought up some headcanon

So basically, the power that be never really explained why Tavros sucks as a troll, or how he can even have that sort of personality in his society and still be alive.

I have this whole thing built up where the trolls basically take after their lusus, the custodian monster that raises them in the place of any parents. The ornery Cancer troll has a bad-tempered lusus he battles constantly, the predatory Scorpio who backstabs her own friends was raised by a giant spider with a taste for young trolls, and so on. Tavros' lusus is a tiny bovine fairy with a gentle nature, and in my head he sort of imprinted on Tinkerbull and emulates him.

I am such a nerd.

Have you thought up any additional Fiduspawn in case the occasion arises for the headcanon to be useful?

I haven't, actually. :o Tavros didn't get to bring any oogonibombs or host plush with him, but he has his cards, so I should probably go do that. XD

Thanks for that; I didn't even consider that since I was handwaving his game with Alex.
