Gamzee was fridgestuck for a long time

[@pearlytheegg3838]

I have the most amazing theory: Karkat is an automobile. If you take the first three letters of his first and last name you get Kar Van. CAR VAN. Wake up, Alternia.

[@renatocpribeiro]

Karkat was born in June 12th. In the catholic calendar that is St. Anthony's Day. In Brazil, St. Anthony has a role similar to St. Valentine. Since Karkat's a messianic archetype, he's now a shipping saint.

Karkat is always angry bc it's the last emotion signless/sufferer felt? I think

[@eddietaylor7931]

Another thing to be added on to the lime blood theory, when he consoles gamzee, the shooshes are lime green.

[@neptunegoddess3048]

"Nepeta better watch out, Karkat's coming through."

[@mistergracey1873]

I was reading homestuck and my friend looks over my shoulder and goes "That guy has a sickle. That guy has a hammer. CYKA BLYAT" I couldn't stop laughing

[@friizouy]

"Karkat never had a red or black relationship outright stated..."

[@tabbender1232]

Karkat being a lime blood is further hinted at in the true zodiac test Hussie just made

[@chromaphasia453]

oh shoot karkat literally met lord english before the fight. *meanwhile in outer space, LE's snake dad dies

[@jcs6387]

"The Dutch word for Cancer is Kanker, which is often shortened to kk"

[@jcs6387]

Next you should do...

Um, hey, you forgot one more thing. It's been theorized (and I agree with this) that Karkat actually wasn't suppose to help with the genesis fort breeding, because Knights don't actually have anything to do with frog breeding, unless they have the right aspects, and it's just suppose to be Time and Space, but because Aradia wasn't participating (or as I see, was inverted), he had to be all responsible and help out Kanaya. Because his aspect is Blood, the mutation in the universe they create was a cancer, which is when there's an over-growth of pointless cells in the body, with Blood having the flesh and blood of the body as a symbol. This also connects to how this cancer manifested in the form of Jack Noir and the Red Miles, because the Red Miles is thought to intentionally look like veins, with Jack Noir from the pre-scratch kids' session being sort of like a Blood malfunction.

I've always had this theory that Karkat (and Kankri) didn't have wings because "they're more human than trolls" (red blood, nubby horns, quadrant transcending relationships, 'peace is better than killing'), as I think Vriska mentioned once in a pesterlog with John - but your theory is good too, the color of his wings could ruin his secret.

An interesting theory regarding lime-bloodedness is rationalizing why they were exterminated. Possibly because they were a threat to the violent society the English crew wanted to create? If violetbloods can psychically assault with disturbing dreams to sew fear, anger, and irrational behavior, perhaps limebloods were their counter- maybe they had a calming effect on troll society.

[@shadowmonster348]

karkats blood mutation , is because of his aspects every blood player has a blood mutation . and the lime bloods "power" is somewhat seen through the vantas line and it's the ability to make friends like humans could , it's hinted at this when ghoat vriska talks to an off shot timeline of John wher she says that karkat would've made a great human or something like that .

[@CatandFriends1]

the thing is like.

[@criticalwarrior2704]

That last part makes a lot of sense. Karkat is a Knight of Blood, and Knights are theorized to be those that exploit their aspect and use it as a weapon, while Blood is generally agreed upon by the fandom to be representative of relationships and connections. Meaning that as a Knight of Blood, Karkat is meant to weaponize his connections, and with the curse, he could pretty much doom anybody around him by just meeting them.

[@feliarine]

great video! just wanted to add that another trait in astrology that Cancers usually have is a tendency to put up a front in order to hide their softer and weaker sides, which is why they are known for being crabby! I thought this fit Karkat really well as he does a really good job at pretending like he doesn't care. (It also ties in to his god tier if you believe the theory that Knights tend to be characters that hide their true selves and emotions by pretty much pretending to be exactly what they aren't)

[@PuppetThirteen]

Other evidence of Karkat being a limeblood is in the scene where he pacifies Gamzee. The text for his shooshing was in lime green, rather than red or his signature grey. Also this is super neat and I would love to see a series of these!!
