I think a lot of the anons are forgetting the fact that it is possible to notice a characters flaws and still like that character. Yes Equius had flaws, yes we like him. Yes I have flaws, yes people like me.

Hello! I don't know if you've been asked this, but do you know what Meenah's lusus is?

a-canon-url-deactivated20161205

All we know is that it wasn’t Gl'bgolyb

~Mod T

Based on who Equius is as a character and his belief in the hemospectrum, it's more likely that Equius was smiling because Gamzee was finally acting like a highblood. Equius' deal with orders is more about the hierarchy and order than it is about any kind of fetish. Equius obsessed over Gamzee's behavior because he acts outside the norm for what someone have such a high caste is supposed to. So his smile likely stems from Gamzee finally, you know, doing what he's supposed to do.

I'm enjoying all of the sarcastic and hilarious answers on here. They are second only to the facts as to why I followed and stayed.

Man, you might want to be careful about publishing people asks stating any opinion against Equius. Some bloggers of such can be rather... Extreme...

Hey man, I love Equ to death. If there’s an opinion against Equius on this blog, it’s because I’m defending him. K? thnx bye

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.

I’ll take it.

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.
