Undoubtedly true, but I think I recall some fanart of it back when Karkat was still just CG. This stuff is buried deep in the history of Homestuck fandom. I think there's more two it than what is seen.

I have resolved to make it my life's work to unveil the truth behind the dastardly Double Sickle Conspiracy.

He's a bard. A performer. A showman. He'll want the spotlight as he does it.

Even if we go that route, I still don't think it'd be direct confrontation so much as circus-themed deathtraps and the like. I just don't see Gamzee brawling with anybody,

What has led you to believe he wouldn't?

Because I just saw him quite boldly declare that he's the MOTHERFUCKIN' MESSIAH so I really don't think subtlety is his game.

You can be unsubtle without punching people/clubbing them with juggling batons.

See? That's another thing! His weapons of choice are blunt instruments.

The guy is a brawler!

Premmy · 01-25-2011, 09:58 PM

trying to find images of him using them deftly, a large part of his shtick before crazy was that he sucked at everything and just sort of stumbled through life.
edit: Equius's weapon is a bow, and we know how that works.

Yeah. He was high all the time. His personality was radically different.

His primary weapon is fistkind. He just really wishes he could use a bow. It's not really comparable.

exactly, so I see him just dropping those damn things and constructing some kind of terrible calliope of death.

POS Industries · 01-25-2011, 10:07 PM

Based on what evidence? He is a clown. He hasn't dropped that. He's just now a clown that believes himself the messiah and is hell-bent on brutally murdering everyone around him. He has been shown, in the future beyond the current point in the story, bearing wounds on his face that, with no other possibility having yet presented itself in the story, were likely delivered by Nepeta. There is no evidence whatsoever suggesting that he's going to be all sneaky and clever in any way whatsoever, because he is a parody of ICP.

So what has led you to believe otherwise?
