Except, you know, the whole using Robo-Aradia as a tool of date rape.

Like I said, He made some attempts to be manipulative, but he sucked all right.
If Aradia didn’t catch on and fell forcefully in love with him, then there’d be an some issues.
But you have to remember, he’s frickin 13. Most 13 year olds if they had the ability to make their crush like them, they’d go for it.

wait if you make a dead Equius joke are you beating a dead horse?

That would be a dead Horuss joke, get your Zahhak’s straight.

I thought equius was smiling because he was getting off on Gamzee choking him and finally acting like a highblood

You can believe that if you like
but when it comes to the real reason:

~Mod T
Headcanon: Equius is so committed to the hemospectrum because of his mutant strength. Higher bloods are supposed to be stronger than all below them, so freakishly strong Equius could be seen as a huge threat to highbloods and immediately culled if he showed any sign of believing himself better than his blood color. Either Equius realized this himself and committed himself to the hemospectrum for his own safetry, or Aurthour taught him it at a young age to keep him safe.

why do people act like Equius was purrfect when he was actually hemophobic around most others, and manipulative??
neoridley-deactivated20161212
He is the only troll to never be shown actually attempting to hurt or kill another troll. He also became less hemophobic as the story progress, if only slightly. He wasn’t really manipulative at all? I mean, he made a few attempts but he kinda sucked at it. He preferred being manipulated with more any way. He also played a major role in the story, but from behind the scenes. (Built Tavros’s legs. He built Robo-Aradia, without which the trolls all would have died.)
The dude might have been rude, but he did nothing but good for the trolls, and the story as a whole.

Nevermind. Troll tongues are also gray.

Yep

~Mod T
equius was also smiling because he knew nepeta would find him and didn't want her to see him dead without a smile (just a headcanon but knowing meowrails I could see it being canon)

That is mere fanon dear follower

Equius's nails are black maybe from dropping things on them constantly

Or they’re oil stained from working on robots.

Aw man my brother/sister/fellow, you truly do wound me. Equius based content creators have existed far before Mr. Zahhak went mainstream! We were sparse,admittedly, and as still not as powerful as he bases around other (admittedly more relevant) trolls, but we have existed back in those dark day of Equiqui, and it would seem that this new golden age of Zahhak has finally brought us to light! Praise be to the b100b100ds my brother and sister Homestucks! Praise be!

I’m not saying there weren’t any, I’m saying the same thing you are. That they were sparse. But not anymore
The Zahhaks will stay in the Void no longer!
