Headcanons and things related to this Karkat and his doomed timeline.

Timeline Headcanons

  • He reached this version of Earth through some time shenanigans with Dave. He can’t really remember most of it. 
  • The reality he is currently in is a “gutter reality” that does not yet have a version of Sburb or anything like it. This does not mean that this reality is safe from Lord English’s influence.
  • Due to the lack of an active session of Sburb or Sgrub, God Tier powers are extremely weakened or nullified. God Tier only grants him near invulnerability. He can be wounded, and will heal at slightly faster than normal rate from said wounds. He can die if the death is just or heroic. Karkat is unable to use any other God Tier powers.
  • When Karkat was pulled into this timeline he was able to ‘fake’ the necessary paperwork to become a citizen of the United States. Truly what happened was that in order to keep the timelines / realities separate paradox space created an identity that Karkat could easily ‘hack’ or steal.


Karkat Headcanons / Information

  • He is short (for trolls or humans) only standing at 5’3.
  • He is heavy / chubby for his size.
  • Don’t call him fat, it ends badly.
  • He reached Godtier last, it’s the only reason he’s not dead. All of the other trolls his session are dead. 
  • Even if doesn’t matter, due to being around humans, Karkat is constantly paranoid about his blood color. He will out right lie about why his eyes are red, and still avoids wearing most things with his blood color on them. 
  • He has P.T.S.D. from the events that occurred in the game. He is prone to moodiness (as usual), but the P.T.S.D. has made it far more violent at times.
  • He speaks loudly and is endlessly confused when people tell him he’s yelling.
  • He has a very closely guarded secret, being the main reason he wears at least two layers of clothing (An underarmor and a t-shirt) even on the hottest of days.
  • He tries to get up at normal ‘human’ hours to do ‘human’ things but he functions mostly at night.
  • Karkat really enjoys human foods. He has trouble pacing himself with food, or restricting himself. He has not once missed troll food since arriving on Earth (and having human food for the first time). 
  • He can’t cook.
  • He’s not well off but he’s not bad off, he has some money and disposable income but he spends a lot of it by searching out rare and unique romantic books and movies. On top of this he hoards his money.
  • He lives on the top floor.
  • He tries to go to the nearby beach or lakes at least once a week, if not daily.
  • Karkat drives an old, beaten up, gunmetal gray 1996 Chevrolet Camaro-V6. The A/C doesn’t work, the seats are badly torn up, and the drivers-side window doesn’t always roll up all the way.
  • He wears tons of makeup and hats when he is forced to go out into public for long periods of time. For short periods of time he often just wears a hat to cover his face or ignores the strange looks he gets.
  • Karkat very much misses all of the other trolls.
  • However, he holds grudges against all of them for one reason or another.
  • Especially Eridan and Gamzee.
