Heyyyy everyone!
It's Jade (Lucas and Jareth mun) here with my third, Gamzee Makara from the delicious Hamsteaks. Because I just can't quit you Facility! I love you too much.
And he's a friendly clown for all ages! Kind of.
Gamzee has actually been to the Facility before, but not this particular Gamzee--and I know this happens from time to time with player/character turnover, but I wanted to go over a few things if anyone (from his canon or who had a lot of CR with him previously) is interested!
Gamzee is coming from the end of Act 5, very soon after Karkat calms him down from his crazy ass, murderous rage. Since he was never here before, and now that the slime is unavailable (and he wouldn't want to use it again, anyways), Gamzee is faced with the task of balancing his nature, wants and desires that have been passed down and in his blood since ancestry--and controlling himself, retaining sanity and not being a threat to his friends. He hasn't ever felt anything that wasn't covered in a sheen of slime-induced complacence...or insanity-induced rage. This is the first time Gamzee will actually be feeling something, feeling anything, feeling feelings--and it's not going to be easy. For anyone. ALL THESE FEELINZ
So yeah, he's still a little nuts. But also not? Without Karkat as his moirail, things are going to be a bit more difficult for him.
YAYYYYHONK
