I Think Transfem Kankri Is Such An Interesting Concept Because Kankri's Undeniably Misogynistic Even

i think transfem kankri is such an interesting concept because kankri's undeniably misogynistic even if it's unconscious and so. interpreting her like that inadvertently also recontextualises a lot of that behaviour?

kankri is a piece of shit in his current state, that's a fact - he's a deeply arrogant and prejudiced person who wants to seem progressive and spouts whatever bullshit he thinks makes him seem intelligent to keep on fuelling his own ego. he's a perfect example of why beforus Does Not work and he's a direct product of being raised on a society like that

which in my eyes makes the idea of her eventually coming out like that even more interesting because it would force kankri to address so many of the underlying prejudices in her worldview and confront herself in a way that might finally, FINALLY make her realise 'i'm an egotistical prick and i need to stop.'

Started from the bottom now we here

the thing is, if i were ever to attempt a dancestor continuation or something like that, there'd definitely be a few characters i'd need to outright retool to treat in any kind of respectful manner (damara and horuss are blatantly offensive and i just can't think of any way to do anything with cronus in his current state)

that being said, the entire backstory around damara, rufioh and horuss is one of the most interesting parts of homestuck. the dancestors have some really interesting interpersonal relationships; the damara/rufioh/horuss/meenah thing, the kurloz/meulin thing and how that relates to mituna/latula, porrim/latula, cronus/mituna/kurloz, and that's just the ones i can think of

not sure how hot of a take this is

meulin and horuss' relationship as it is in canon is extremely toxic and very obviously straining for horuss, that much is clear

HOWEVER, i think with an honest talk about their feelings (which is pretty customary for moirails) they could genuinely form a pretty stable pale relationship?

i think meulin as a character just needs to stop being so overwhelmingly positive all the time because it's obviously draining to horuss and it's probably not the healthiest for her as well? especially with how much trauma she's probably processing with kurloz

i dunno, i just think she's quite a flat character as it stands and i think she deserved better, and i think the key to developing her and her backstory more is more of a focus on her quadrants with kurloz and horuss. (provided that she's also allowed to function as her own entity, because right now part of the problem is how much of a satellite she is to kurloz who is infinitely more developed)
