#gamzee is subsequently one of those characters you can just interpret any which way you want because hussie didnt bother giving him like....

AH’s character blindness is so difficult sometimes lmao. like gamzee for example is more of a paradox than paradox space itself. realistically what we the reader can interpret with our own 2 eyes is that gamzee is a tool. like literally, he is a narrative device in homestuck and absolutely nothing more. he goes from generally average 13 year old troll with a substance abuse problem -> mind controlled narrative tool (cal) -> mind controlled narrative tool (aranea) -> locked in a fridge forever. like ok he’s haha the funny clown but he wasn’t... always??? thats where the dissonance arrives for most people that like or are curious about gamzee (among other homestuck misfit characters) ie) me. like what we see of gamzee is that he was literally just a child in the beginning. he wasn’t even particularly mean like some of the other trolls. but AH expects us to just gloss over that like he does and accept that gamzee is (for some reason) super evil even underneath the layers of mind control and 0 degree of agency he is ever given.
