    none of the troll names are canonically gendered

    theyre just lusus sounds

    and--this is personal headcanon and thus has no real importance beyond what i like--i headcanon troll genders as significantly more nebulous than humans in general, so i really don't think a girl karkat would be much more than

    karkat: but she/her

    ...but

    karkat goes to great lengths to hide his blood color

    why would any version of karkat be wearing that

    This may just be me, but I get super uncomfortable when someone writes a character OOC if that character was stated to be based on someone the original author knew, even if it's OOC in the way of them not doing things a real person wouldn't be able to do (i.e. beating a pirate king senseless at the age of twelve). Doubly skin-crawling if it's porn.

    And triply skin-crawling if she was based on the author's granddaughter, iirc?

    Yes. Supremely >_< I hope the poor now-grown-up kid in question never ever sees that. At least it's presumably not going to be a problem with the one based on the author's grandmother.

    Hey, some people are into grandm—you know what, I can't even finish that joke.

    Actually, um, I meant it's not going to be a problem in that she won't see it. They already... yeah.

    If you want to clean your brain, I'm necromancing the I Am That Is thread in Fan Town.

    Heh, yeah, I figured Rule 34 already applied. Ah well. My brain definitely needs cleaning, I will be sure to check that out! (The thread, not the weird porn…)

    Also, "may contain X" in a summary, especially if X is "mature content" and it turns out to be full of gore and rape. What do you mean may? You tell me, you're the writer!

    They could have written the summary when it was still a WIP and they weren't sure how mature they would go.

    I misread that as an OC and not OOC and was like "then what am I going to base my writing on then. WHAT I ASK YOU."

    That is prertty ergh hough.

    Heh, no, write OCs based on people you know all you like. Those are awesome, though now I know what the fandom world is like I'm hesitant to write characters based on my family because people WILL draw them fucking.

    Pff. That makes me kind of wish people knew about OCs I have based on family.
