#redglare dragon

[thewertsearch]

During his penance, it was said the Sufferer's compassion for his people underwent a divine transformation, into limitless, burning rage.

I would expect nothing less. He might be a hero, but he’s still a Vantas.

It burned hotter than the irons shackling him to the imperial flogging jut, and redder than the blood soaking his Righteous Leggings.

You hear that, Karkat?

Those are holy garments that you’re wearing. Respect them.

When he was finally killed, his anger rung through the cosmos with his last breath. This Vast Expletive was his final sermon, and somewhere encoded in its wavelengths was the truth in his teachings, waiting to reveal itself to any who would inherit his burden.

Some day, the grand legacy of Karkat's bloodline will arrive in his heart – and if I’m not mistaken, it will arrive as the loudest FUCK that our boy has ever heard.

This is exactly the kind of awakening that Karkat deserves. 10/10.

His teachings would also persist through surviving disciples, but in hushed tones.

Redglare was born long after the Sufferer’s tale was censored out of existence, but these Pyropes are savvy girls. I'm sure the Neophyte was wise enough to question her planet’s bloody history, and sneaky enough to seek out like-minded compatriots under the Grand Highblood’s nose.

It seems like she even knew enough to predict the location of her own descendant’s hive, and gifted her a dragon that I’m willing to bet was kin to her own. An unsung hero of the previous age, for sure.

His following would dwindle to an obscure cult facing persecution for centuries.

Surely he’s not talking about Gamzee’s cult? Those clowns are all about the hemospectrum, and certainly wouldn’t heed the sermons of some bleeding-heart redblood.

Maybe the Juggalo cult is technically a splinter of Sufferism, but its founder’s message has been corrupted beyond all recognition, to suit the needs of those in power. We should all be thankful that such a disturbing concept has only been explored in fiction.

The Sufferer preached that after he passed, another Signless would come, heralding the end times for their planet. The Second Signless would continue his work, and lead his people to glory beyond this realm. The followers kept his teachings alive for ages, even as the uproar surrounding the movement subsided. By modern times, the Sufferer's scripture was little more than ancient superstition all but forgotten. Hardly the anathema of old. But the followers had already made their preparations in the shadows, and when the Second Signless finally came he would have a lusus to raise him and a sign to his name.

You hear that, Karkat? You were never really alone. If anything, you were the most loved troll in all of Alternian history – loved by trolls who would never meet you, but who worked for centuries to ensure that you’d be born safe.

That you’d have your Crabdad.

...alright, what if I just cried.

[red-elric]

okay coming back to it now. very large parts of terezi's entire way of reacting to things center around vriska, no matter what terezi era we're talking about. when they were kids and friends, when they had their falling out and hated each other, when she had to live with the guilt of killing vriska, and when she had to live with the knowledge that she needed vriska alive to be happy and to fix the alpha timeline; it all comes back to vriska serket.

vriska's not an easy person to be friends with, largely due to her own unique issues. she was in a position where she had to grow up and conform to alternian societal standards much faster than any of the other trolls to survive, given the nature of her lusus. she had the strength of personality to pull it off, for better or for worse, so vriska spent her childhood pushing herself into being as adult and dominant as she could possibly be, following in the footsteps of mindfang and cutting out or belittling anyone who couldnt keep up with her. and she liked terezi! she knew about redglare and was a little bit obsessed with terezi, especially the parts of terezi that imitated redglare, and terezi probably really liked that attention and played into it quite a bit. she modeled a decent chunk of her personality after redglare's story, with the legislacerator ambitions and the dragons and the connection to vriska/mindfang, and ended up closer to vriska than anyone else. they were a team, and they had fun together, and vriska's entire attention was on her, at least the positive parts of it.

vriska's interactions with tavros (and probably also several others, including eridan, karkat, kanaya, and whoever else failed to meet her standards) were a very immediate, real example of what could happen if terezi lost vriska's attention and became 'l8me,' in vriskas eyes. not only would it be personally devastating to lose focus from her best friend, but it would also be potentially very, very dangerous to terezi, and I think terezi definitely knew that. when the scourge vs charge drama played out, we see terezi hesitant to act against vriska in her conversation with aradia; she warns aradia to let her handle it, but doesnt take action quickly enough. she's definitely trying to stall and let people cool down some, but aradia wont let it slide and retaliates against vriska herself, leading to vriska's retaliation back against aradia, of course. the stakes are higher, vriska has proven again that she wants to always have the last say, and terezi has to either let it slide, kill her altogether, or retaliate too weakly and open herself up to direct danger from vriska. she chooses to try and kill her (saying as much in her conversation with vriska right before the cue ball explosion, btw), but ultimately vriska survives and blinds her back.

at this point, terezi chooses not to continue to escalate. she says its because vriska blinding her is the best thing to ever happen to her; while I believe that's probably true to an extent, given that it put her in contact with her lusus, there's more to it than that. it completely stops the conflict between the trolls--she was the last harmed, and she doesnt want any payback; vriska is satisfied having the last say and shouldnt have an excuse to hurt anyone else. which is all well and good! but this action, choosing to set her own grievances aside for the sake of keeping the peace, is like..... classic self worth issues. couple that with terezi's favorite part of herself--her blindness--being inextricably tied to vriska, as something vriska did for her; terezi's self worth is now also inextricably tied to vriska. but terezi doesnt want anyone to see that, so she jokes and laughs and acts strangely to throw people off. if people think shes a weirdo because she WANTS them to, shes winning, right?

karkat I think is the only one who gets close to seeing behind all of this. vriska doesnt come CLOSE (which btw is why I dont really like endgame scourge sisters as moirails!! I think terezi is great for vriska but vriska is still terrible for her!!! preretcon terezi and (vriska) as matesprits makes much more sense to me but whatever). karkat has a real talent for seeing through people's bullshit to what theyre really thinking, and he's probably second in the 'forced to grow up early' race between the trolls (except its a little different for him because its more beneficial for him if he hides himself, rather than making a dominant stand like vriska), and he really, really likes terezi. I think they gravitate towards one another post scourge vs charge bc karkat just has this unconditional love in his heart for..... everyone, really, but especially terezi, and thats something terezi with her low self worth really relies on to recover from vriska not being her friend anymore. but karkat is his own bag of worms; he has so much going on and he gives conflicting signals and hes scared to commit to her (mostly because he has a hard time fitting in with troll romantic patterns tbh) and that drives terezi away because she thinks he doesnt like her as much as she likes him. also, I think at this point shes probably starting to consider him a better person than her, possibly due to his refusal to associate with vriska from the start, which comes to a head later pre retcon (that one DEVASTATING convo betwen them in the meenah flashes). so she runs away.

dave is really easy to talk to when all terezi wants is to hide from her feelings and her friends, because that is absolutely what dave wants too. they fall really quickly into a surface level only rapport and become really quick close friends by just.... being the person the other can talk to without it being a federal fucking issue. its something terezi really needed in that moment, and something that worked for dave at the time too. but still, even that relationship was all about vriska, because by this point terezi knew vriska was spending all her time talking to john. and terezi might 'know' that there is no john versus dave thing, but vriska thinks there is, and is certainly acting like the dave vs john thing is actually a terezi vs vriska thing, and its hard for terezi to stay out of that completely; shes the one who brings it up to dave, after all, and they talk about it more than john and vriska do iirc. and isnt it funny how, despite knowing that dave would never reach god tier or surpass johns ability, terezi picked him anyway and sided with the underdog without a fight? how she rolled over and let vriska win again?

(also, retcon timeline side note!!! I bet it really fucked with terezi when john told her not to date dave either because it didnt work out and wasnt good for either of them, but especially not for dave!!! she was just trying to have some easy fun without any sweeps old drama like with vriska or karkat and heres john from another timeline telling her going down that path would be bad for dave!!! alt terezi didnt tell him to do that!!! aishdjchjswbgdjchsjsj)

anyway. when terezi finally gears up to have her showdown with vriska, its not for her own sake. its because vriska killed tavros, and because terezi was pretty sure she had killed a few others as well (incorrect, but like.... of course terezi was gonna think that she was obsessed with vriska from the start), and because she felt as though there was only one way to save karkats life (and her own, and some of the other trolls, but please. we all know karkat was the one she wanted to save). and whether in the retcon timeline or not, terezi has to live with the knowledge that she can't escape vriska's hold on her, and she doesn't even want to. she's damaged goods, because she should HATE vriska; everyone else does, and shes done so many awful things, but terezi apparently cant live without her. and that breaks her in both timelines; more dramatically without the retcon, but still in the retcon timeline as well; she just is able to hide behind vriska's force of personality more in that timeline, just go along with the person she's stuck with by her own volition. so no, her self worth issues didnt come out of nowhere.

[knights-unwelcommentary]

Mindfang had it coming, but just imagine how terrifying it must have been for a common low blood to be hunted down by Redglare and her fuck-you sized dragon

[davestaresatthesun]

boy oh boy im obsessing over the details again wahoooo time for more indepth look at the troll kids family structures \o/

warning under the cut to a couple really brief mentions of child neglect/abuse/childhood trauma :,]

Sollux Mituna and the helmsman [i blame unda for filling my brain with helmsman signless brainrot beFORE IVE EVEN READ THE FIC WITH THE HELMSMAN IN IT-] are bio siblings, both adopted by thier dads [biclops but its two guys-]

karkat and kanaya are adoptive siblings, met in the system at 9 and refused to be separated- signless [imma need to figure out a 'real' name for him frick] is also dolorosa's much older [18 when karkat and kanaya are adopted] adopted son [older brother figure signless yesss :D]

terezi and litula are the bio kids of Redglare, dragon mom is their grandma :D

-> side note, badass lawyer moment when redglare divorces her pos husband shortly after terezi is born and he tries fucking them over in court but she absolutely RUINS him

vriska and aranea bio kids of mindfang, spidermom grandma, generational abuse/trauma [arania give into it, vriska acknowledges that its fucked her up but refuses to let the repeated cycle ruin her and her life]

Eridan and Cronus bio kids of seahorse dad [literally. they have two dads and one is trans hehehe]

tavros and rufioh bio cousins, kids of tinkerbulldad; tavros bio kid of tinkerbulldad, rufioh bio kid of Summoner [tavros ancestor]- Summoner dies and tinkerbulldad adopts rufioh

gamzee and kurloz bio kids of seagoatdad- he's an absent father tho so they're basically raised by thier older brother [grand highblood]

aradia and damara bio kids of goatmom- their dad's passed away; damara was born and raised in where they're originally from [havent pinpointed exact location], they moved to the americas shortly before aradia was born

feferi and meenah bio kids of condy- seamonstermom is their grandma

-> side note to play into the whole thing that thier lusus favored feferi over condy since condy obviously wasn't around anymore, their relationship is something like feferi not really liking her mom but loves spending time with her cool grandma, and condy brushes seamonstermom aside a lot so seamonstermom or all short and stuff with condy but very very nice to feferi

equius and horuss bio kids of darkleer, but they're this high class arristocrat/buisiness family so they're both basically raised by their butler/nanny [Aurthour]

nepeta muelin and nep ancestor [the Diciple] kids of Pounce de Leon [catmom]- TD is her bio and oldest kid, nep and meulin are adopted

[almostourgalaxy]

goes now for 🎤🎤🎤 you can't just drop Variants and not have me (abyssal in particular im like ooo that's a fun name,,)

So there's a LOT of regional Subtypes for trolls, and any particularly isolated area is gonna havvwe its owwvn.

If you knowwv anything about howwv evolution trends wwvork, you can probably guess wwvhat certain subtypes look like. (This is me sayin I need to make a fuckin MAP)

But that said, I can list the main 12 ancestors and THEIR specific subtypes, wwvith an explanation of each.

Kankar is a pretty good example of, funnily enough, just a mutt. No specific type to speak of, but that's to be expected there.

Torova is a Southwestern badlands Bronze. Bigger ears for letting off heat, a bit lankier than normal. Bulkier than the avvwerage too, like a damn ox.

Hisuji/The Handmaid is an eastern Coastal Rust. She's taller than her wwvestern kin, a bit smaller in the ears. Built for colder temps.

Icarus, is of course, a hybrid. Half Central Steppe, wwvhich are leggy fuckers bc Open area, and half Northeastern Plateau, wwvhich are TALL. For gold bloods.

Pantra grewwv up on the northeastern central coast, but is actually from the Southern plains. Built like a fuckin Lion.

Korrie, lovvwley thing she is. Is just a Jade. They movvwe betwwveen cavvwerns so often throughout their livvwes the wwvhole caste is kinda homogeneous.

Tiamat/Redglare hails from southwestern mountains, near SpineRidge. Dragon Country. She's smaller than normal, but stockier, for better balance.

Arakni is Archipelagic. She's from one of the MANY islands located on the western edges of the Hunting Grounds. Bigger than normal.

Chiron is a desert blue, but he's a fuckin WESTERN desert, wwvhich is like Mongolia Desert. Cold desert. Built like something from the Tundra.

Bachus is a hybrid. Northern mountain, built like a damn Goat. Leggy and Lanky. But also Central Steppe, wwvhich are just SOLID muscle. So he's built like stretched taffy that also feels like it's made of Steel Coils.

Wwve havvwe covvwered Saturn extensivvwely.

Scylla is Abyssal, hailing from deep trenches near wwvhere Gy'lbgolb livvwes. You'vvwe heard of Deep Sea Gigantism? Yeah.

Round 2, Poll N

Wally the Walrus (large) is my 2021 Secret Santa gift from I-forget-which-relative via the World Wildlife Fund's adoption program, specifically requested in honor of that year’s world hero: Wally the Wandering Walrus [incomplete tumblr story] [wikipedia]. He’s delightfully wrinkly!

VS

Pyralspite (large) is, yeah, the scalemate aka stuffed dragon from Homestuck, canonically named for the dragonmom and assistant of Terezi’s ancestor Neophyte Redglare, and later ally of rebel leader…never mind. I semi-stole her from the friend who got me into Homestuck. Terezi is a favorite character.

♉ T1ck...♉

Collage based on 'The summoner' from the Homestuck ancestors

other collages:

♈/ you are here! /♊/♋/♌/♍/♎/♏/♐/♑/♒/♓

some talk about symbols under the cut:

Admittedly, i don't study up much on the Nitrams, so this one is a bit more feel-good than the others.

- i gave him sunflowers and oranges for his flower + fruit representative symbol (keeping with the pattern of the others). The yellow roses mean ;friendship' and are a call to how he most likely got a revolution going in the first place.

- the text single words in the center go upwards instead of down while reading, making them out to say " L34D W1thout... 8ecoming L0st" honestly didn't even think about them being connected by the fact all their descendants all wrote universe code until i put them down together. kind of just thought it would be cool if Redglare knew the summoner. ╮⁠(⁠╯⁠_⁠╰⁠)⁠╭. also i think the line itself applies to one triing to lead a revolution and well. the burdens.

-' birds of the feather' and the bird imagery i imagine to be the like. family he had lost woods boy style. also heart in the stero = whats in your heart on blast, be careful not to crumble whats around you, ect ect.

-the lower left features a bull with breath imagery, radiating from the heart. we also see some bloody hands reaching up to the '1 ' in the T1ck, sort of reping how one in his role could be idolized - and blood being opposites of breath

-the lower right has a image of a quilt, that is mimicking an image of a small cabin in the woods in fall right next to a lake so all the colors are mirrored. the text says " home 1s where the heart 1s - you'll carry 1t all your l1fe" ukulele center - headcannon he plays small instruments - ( ukulele, small flute [NoT a pan flute tho])as they are mobile - and big, more complicated instruments are probably highbloods only/restricted esp in their time. also a red poppy has been left in the most home/ sense of self area.

-obviously the orange butterflies are him, and a few blue ones for Mindfang, but i also felt the need to give him a second heart for every direction he would have a heart face. boy is wishy washy.

-Lastly we have the phoenix because of the. well. the whole ass dragon thing.

[psiimaid]

the ancestors are so funny bc on the one hand you have some really crazy history-making rebels and the longest reigning empress and the freaking demoness. and then you have like. redglare who was Pretty Normal kinda your Average Joe. except for the dragon

Act 5, page 3742

I suppose I'll have to get used to writing with this hand instead.

I now do so in captivity, while I 8ring my awe to 8ear on the immensity of the Su8juggl8or's high jinx. I took their gesture as plain avowal of my prosecution's futility. With a lone neophyte assigned to the task, how could I view it otherwise? I was sure they'd drawn from the 8ottom of their deck, not intending to squander more competent mercenaries on one who'd made a show of outclassing them all 8efore. 8ut I discovered too l8 that Redglare was their wild card all along.

How is one allowed to 8e raised 8y a dragon in this era? Let alone one of such middling 8lood, the sickly hue of a gutless civil servant. Those of her caste are typically pleased to mount a sluggish choler8ear, or some 8rainless squawking spleenfowl during petty expeditions to plaster seizure notices on gam8lignant property. 8y what fluke was this woman granted such a weapon, permitting her to luxuri8 in these delusions of righteousness?

Something 8locked the light of the un8itten moon, treating the har8or to darkness more grim than what fell this season's apogee. I made the mistake of looking into its eyes, each like a sun concentr8ted into a small jewel, as two hot garnets searing through a 8lack veil. I shut mine quickly, 8ut the more sensitive of them was 8urned irrepara8ly. When I regained sight in the other, there was only red. My fleet was in flames. The neophyte was on deck. Pyralspite, she mentioned through her ridiculous forced grin. She wanted me to know the name of the 8east which was a8le to consume my lusus whole.

My dice were in the hold 8elow, not that my present luck would consent to a favora8le roll anyway. I made a move for my 8lade. She took my arm, which I'm sure she kept as the tiniest of snacks for her ostent8ious custodian. May8e she meant to prove she wouldn't need me in irons to have my su8mission?

8ound or free.

Two, one or none.

I wonder how well she knows it's not what I do with my arms she has to fear?

I aw8 my trial.

It is a message from Vriska summoning you to do battle. It is written in Gamzee's rich jelly-smelling blood, but it is her handwriting for sure. Her quirk is present, leaving the matter unde88a8le.

At this point, if there's not some sort of perceptual distortion at play, I'd consider it an insult to Terezi. She's not supposed to be able to fall for shit like this.

But why the hell does she want you to bring this stupid puppet along? She's so weird.

There's a decent chance that Gamzee's in league with Scratch. He wasn't one of the trolls from Scratch's fables, but it would be very like him to tactically omit a description of his most important pawn.

Anyway, if Gamzee's following Scratch's plan, then it makes sense that Lil Cal, Scratch's 'father', might feature in some way. I don't know how he'll feature, but I'm sure it'll be fittingly horrifying.

I suppose I'll have to get used to writing with this hand instead. I now do so in captivity, while I 8ring my awe to 8ear on the immensity of the Su8juggl8or's high jinx.

I can't tell to what degree the Subjugglator's 'high jinx' (lol) is supposed to be a joke. If Gamzee's caste can actually do magic, then maybe that's how Gamzee was hiding his presence from Terezi.

I took their gesture as plain avowal of my prosecution's futility. With a lone neophyte assigned to the task, how could I view it otherwise? […] 8ut I discovered too l8 that Redglare was their wild card all along. How is one allowed to 8e raised 8y a dragon in this era? Let alone one of such middling 8lood, the sickly hue of a gutless civil servant. […] 8y what fluke was this woman granted such a weapon, permitting her to luxuri8 in these delusions of righteousness?

It seems that in Mindfang's time, your lusus was manually assigned by the government - unlike modern trolls, who are apparently chosen by the lusus themselves. This was probably yet another way to enforce the blood hierarchy, as Mindfang's chief complaint is that Redglare's lusus was 'above her station'.

Wait, there's no link to the next page. Is this some sort of puzzle, or...

Wait, so the link is inside a simulated version of the website? Weird.

[eridan-ampora]

gotta figure out pokemon types for the ancestors or whatever

handmaid: ok honestly she is an enigma. handmaid understanders where are you

summoner: flying & fairy are options ofc? normal's a contender too

psiioniic: electric, steel, psychic

signless: god damn idk. maybe you just walk in and he gives you the badge. would saying fire type be mean.

disciple: i think fighting would be cool here but there are also just like, so many normal type cats

dolorosa: bug, grass, ice, ghost... she's got some Vibes.

redglare: all i can think is dragon and this is 100% just because of her lusus. unfortunately googling lawyer pokemon has gotten me nowhere. flying? ...salamence & like, unfezant might be kinda neat actually. & then there's also the "justified" ability that mainly fighting types have... hm.

mindfang: bug, psychic, dark, poison

darkleer: ground, rock, steel, dark again,

highblood: okay i know there's actual clown pokemon but i feel like there's More We Could Do With This Guy. ghost?

dualscar: poison? dragon? water? the seahorse pokemon are obvious but i feel like clawitzer kinda fits the vibe too honestly

condesce: water? dark? psychic again??? cmon 😭

If my o8session with the dragon should continue to 8urn for so long, would he 8e the one to assist me in taming it? I did not have enough knowledge to ask the right questions when I had the opportunity. Were that the case, I might have asked if it would 8e his rare a8ilities of communion that would 8ring Pyralspite under control. Would it 8e on account of my influence? And if so, would I exert this influence 8y taking his will, or winning his heart? These are details I would have given no second thought in drawing from the or8, my curiosity a force usually too much to quell. 8ut now...

Headcanon that Mindfang was such an infamous criminal and enslaver that by the time she met the Summoner he gave her a single chance to redeem herself but she failed to do better so he eventually allowed Redglare's dragon to finish her off

YA ok so first we gotta dissect the pyropes and makaras. under the shadow patriarchal system of alternia, the GHB was well feared as a male figure and was top of the caste system in a verrry white supremacist way. he had his political/religious party who basically killed whoever the fuck they wanted and was even feared by like dualscar.

under him, he had employed redglare who was a very low blue blood (person of color). the only explainable reason that he "favored" her despite her color, was because she controlled an OP asf dragon. she was a COP, and as long as she protected his property and status, he wouldn't give a shit.

i described her death as a lynching in a previous post because that's what it really was right. someone higher up in the caste system redirected a mob to literally hang her. it's complicated because redglare was a cop, and because mindfang was wanted by the authorities, n i could go on about them we're not talking abt that rn lol.

ok so terezi and gamzee. ive described him as a white kid who hung out with other kids of color, and struggled with substance abuse and neglect. it doesnt matter that he didn't "see color", dude was a PRIME target for radicalization. its easier to blame minorities and "claim your birthright" than to suffer through implicit biases while going through rehab. lil cal being his new drug of choice is an apt metaphor.

terezi, like karkat, dreamed of becoming a weapon of imperialism, despite a) how terrible it would be for them, and b) how people wouldn't see them as suitable for the job because they aren't perfect enough bc of their differences to be a model minority. they both shape their worldview around the positions they want, terezi adopting the black and white thinking that decives her and ultimately kills her closest friend in the world. she was incredibly vulnerable, and gamzee knewwww that.

through their relationship, they were trying to bring back values of their dead world in their own way. karkat n dave comment on how seriously he takes himself and his religion literally worshiping all flavors of bigotry, and terezi feels like she failed her ancestor (and dancestor) by being not as competent as she was expected to be as a model minority under alternia's system. gamzee's comments convinces her to undo her blindness, which like i said, is seen as a defect from the society she came from.

she recognizes that he's bad for her but "K33P(s) COM1NG B4CK FOR MOR3", both because his treatment justifies her internalized bigotry and she wants to punish herself for falling for his (slash society's) tricks, which got vriska killed.

What do you mean in your previous post pls explain my neurons aren't working well lately

i was rapid firing posts srry could u tell me which one u meant?
