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!

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.
