- Mun = dunkass
- I think every single Homestuck character is adorable, no exception.
- I love, love, love AUs, like Red Dead Virgo.
- Equius/Aradia is my homestuck OTP. I do not care if it's creepy and weird. I find it oddly adorable.
- Yes yes yes, she's God Tier as of current canon, and thus alive again. I am not canon-updating her any time soon. I prefer playing her as a robot. A bumbling, pseudo-apathetic, random, ribbiting robot who fails at etiquette, sensitivity, social cues, and recognizing emotions, yet in spite of all that, happens to be well-meaning. The potential for lulz is much greater, in my personal opinion, and I will stick with whatever I think provides lulz.
- On that note, the storyline I'd prefer to play out is letting her rediscover/regain her emotions while she's a robot instead of trying to find a way to bring her back to life. I find the former development to be more intriguing than the latter. Essentially, finding a way to experience and process emotions via cold, hard circuitry instead of a central nervous system.
Headcanon
- Her apathy is her form of trolling and done intentionally/humorously.
- On the other hand, dying has made her very zen (as opposed to depressed) because she can't feel anything anymore; thus she can't worry or stress out the way other people can. She is s0 mell0w, man.
- She's not incapable of emotion, she just has a hard time reconnecting with her lost emotions. She automatically assumes she's incapable of feeling, but this is inaccurate of her. Thus she can occasionally exhibit mischief, empathy, curiosity, or affability.
- (Well, yeah. She did kiss Equius. And hug Sollux. And both were of her own accord.)
- We don't really know for sure just how much sentience she lost when she died. The comic doesn't spend much time on that. I like to think dying did not remove her of sentience so much as it distanced her from the memories of her life. She still remembers being alive, obviously--but in a vague, textbook sort of way. (This would at least explain why she canonically does not remember what it feels like to feel.) This sudden distance from memories can affect not just her emotional output, but her logical output as well.
- (On the other hand, her logical output can be aided by use of the CPU her robot body presumably uses to function! So really, whether she's random or fully rational when you speak to her is a 50/50 deal.)
- Some of her emotions may actually frighten her because they were so strong (like the emotions surrounding the memory of her death) that when she starts to remember what they felt like, she once more distances herself from them.
- She still wants to be Indiana Jones deep down inside. She just thinks she doesn't.
- She most likely views Equius as both her kismesis and her matesprit. It's...complicated.

...Wow I don't know what to put here yet.
DO ANYTHING I GUESS? She's a robot and she don't curr. In fact, no1curr.
--But wait! Alternatively, if you happen to play at gargleblasted, the Homestuck cast has set up a universal permissions post. Take advantage of it! You can fill out that form (screened!) to let us know whether you want troll typing quirks turned on or off. Or whether you just don't want us to tag you at all. We are 0k with whatever you decide.
