aww yeah it's question meme time

[hackitude]

Time to bring back one of my old faves...

the QUESTION meme

Simple and easy! Here's how it goes:

1. POST a top-level with your character name

2. REPLY to other people's top-level with a question for that character

3. ANSWER the question you were asked

4. ASK a question of that person's characters in return!

We go back and forth like this asking questions in a thread until one or both of us runs out of questions!

QUESTIONS CAN BE ANYTHING. Serious or silly as you want! What does Jane think of (x)? What does Sarah have for breakfast? How many times a day does Alex masturbate? What's Tom's dream job? The only limit for questions is your imagination.

Replies can be as monosyllabic or as tl;dr are you want; it's up to you. Go wild kids!

It's no secret that Greed really isn't like the rest of his extended "family". He may have worked with them at one time or another, but he's never quite worked the same way as the rest of them. With Lust, he doesn't have as strong feelings as say with Wrath or Envy, but she's still on his shit list, what with watching him boil alive in a vat of lava. But they work delicately - best way to describe it is just two separate wolves on separate turfs. Cross one and it's all over.

Lust is smart, clever - Greed recognizes that. Can't deny it. Out of 'em all, she's a bit more underhanded. Manipulative. But they do go a bit hand and hand, least that's my perspective. The Ultimate Spear and the Ultimate Shield. He can tolerate her at a distance and he's not interested in fighting her. Wouldn't be worth it and there's no point. This would kind of be the same with both Gluttony and Sloth. Gluttony is more of a dim-wit that follows orders, etc. He's not too worried about him unless shit really hits the fan and Sloth kind of falls into the same boat.

Leaving Envy, Wrath, and Pride.

Envy is one he doesn't like just on principle. Greed often calls him ugly and tries to bring out Envy's nastier side. It's more of a goading than anything else; the bigger brother mentality on a higher scale. Greed doesn't like him at all and hey, it's a mutual feeling. Pride is a creature even Greed himself has said, "Even I call him a monster." Which should speak some volumes. Pride makes Greed on edge. Everything about it him makes him on edge.

And then comes Wrath. He hates Wrath the most; Wrath slaughtered his previous possessions and destroyed the original Devil's Nest with conviction. Wrath stole everything Greed had and he's never gotten a chance to really get the vengeance he deserves there. Wrath shows up and it's done. It's the only real time we've seen Greed actually angry and that should say something.

FUN FAMILY ...

How about Kanaya and her "family"? How does she feel about it?

[glowsferatu]

kanaya's concept of "family" is really complicated, as it isn't really something her culture is built around. the whole idea of community doesn't seem to be very encouraged on alternia, at least not outside the lowest castes. their reproductive processes are controlled to keep parents and all other adults separated from children, and the methods make siblings a complicated issue anyway.

she had her lusus, who she considers her mother over anyone else. they had over thirteen years together, and if she ever felt she owed anything to anyone, it would be her. that made losing the matriorb a very personal failure for her. she hadn't only failed her duty to secure a future for everyone else, she broke a promise. she made her mother's death meaningless, and she'd never properly dealt with losing her then, either. she'd kept going on momentum up until then, knowing that it had to happen so that she could do her important job. losing her, losing the matriorb, it was devastating. like the rug slipped out from under her and the whole purpose of her life was gone.

her biological mother is someone she never knew, but she did meet an alternate version briefly. it was a little surreal, porrim was essentially the person she wishes she was, more together and successful. she still had some level of hope, even if she was long dead, and she tried to instill that in kanaya, too. but that was two years ago, and with all that time between them, she isn't so sure of her. they come from different worlds and different circumstances, and her confidence in porrim's insight into her own situation is a hard to buy. she talked about freedom, when kanaya's never really known freedom. just duty and survival.

she does have one thing close to family, and that's karkat. their relationship has rarely felt in line with felt in line with quadrants, aside from ash sometimes, but they have gradually come to accept each other as something close to siblings. it hasn't been easy, and they've always had their problems, both separately and together, but when they support each other they do much better.

WOW this is late as fuck. SORRY.

That's really interesting. I know a little about Homestuck, but this is a great elaboration.
