Karkat's intro page

Try again.

Oh look, it's Karkat's intro page. Time to analyze!
  • His passion for RIDICULOUSLY TERRIBLE ROMANTIC MOVIES AND ROMCOMS ties into his Knight of Blood classpect, which relates to relationships and personal bonds.
  • Karkat's story parallels John's in many ways (they are both the "leader"), and his Trollian handle, carcinoGeneticist, serves as a foil of sorts to John's ectoBiologist. It also references his sign (Cancer), and the fact that he seems to think he gave the B1 universe "cancer" as a result of his shoddy frog breeding (will place link here when I get up to this conversation he has with Jade).
  • I think this might be significant but not sure why yet: You like to program computers, but you are NOTORIOUSLY PRETTY AWFUL AT IT. Your programs invariably damage the machines on which they are executed, which is just as well since you like to believe you specialize in COMPUTER VIRUSES. --> I think the significance involves Karkat exploding his computer with a program and thinking he cursed everyone.
  • DAT BOOK. It's the ~ATH manual. That shit keeps popping up in the weirdest places and I do not fully understand its significance, but it's one of the few objects in Karkat's intro panel so that's something alright.
  • Windows. His windows represent the trolls' 12-player Sgrub session.
I guess that's it. Dang only five bullet points?

genesis frog, pesterchum handles, troll signs, karkat vantas, ~ath manual, citation needed, foreshadowing, karkat: classpect
