#if you just take every overbearingly plural thing he does and find an excuse that makes it technically caused by something unrelated

[taxi-boi]

i was initially just going to put this in the tags but since i dont want to just be talking out of my ass:

this is the authors note on page 87 in the 6th homestuck book. which discusses the content of page 3252 of the webcomic (the jade jadesprite karkat convo)

he calls karkats past current future selves thing a practice of "faux splintering"

and explicitly compares it to dissociative identity disorder. and continues with the following

"He's broken himself up into various 'identities,' compartmentalizing them by where they are in time rather than who they are, in the same way one might in response to trauma, grief, shame, or anything else that might trigger that kind of psychological fragmentation"

like the only difference between karkat and every other plural ass character is that most of karkats bullshit is confined to the (relatively) simple mechanics of time dilation rather than physical alternate selves in (sort of) physical alternate bodies (excluding the standard cases of alternate selves in dream bubbles, ofcourse).

which inadvertently implies that karkat is more truly plural, and it is not just simply the consequence of weird sburb classpect kernelsprite timetravel magic system bullshit. it all takes place in his own (singular) head. (which isnt my genuine stance but an interpretation that could be made)

one could potentially read it as simply the changing opinions that come with time (over the span of only 8 hours) rapidly bolstered by his self hatred and implied inability to truly take responsibility for his prior faults (or perceived faults). which is even stated in the above section,

however, in the ccg and fcg conversation starting on page 4685 (the one where karkat types with red text) we watch ccg converse with a version of himself mere minutes ahead of him, reach the point where hes in fcg's shoes, before responding to the same minutes prior pcg with (naturally) the same level of aggravated vitriol.

near the end the conversation, after the roles have entirely reversed, fcg has this to say

fcg is so 'dissociated' from the state of mind that he was in 10 minutes ago as (p/c)cg, and even after that point, to where he doesnt even believe the feelings occured, or atleast cant determine where they came from.

above are two excerpts from the pluralpedia page on emotional amnesia...

i think you'd be right that he'd resent the insinuation that it wasn't "just all him."

but he'd also be wrong about that fact, like most things karkat thinks he knows.

your guys' trans headcanons suck ass. start making plural headcanons
