![]() she may have become something she hadnt wanted to be once, but for the time she had with kankri, meulin, and mituna, all of the trials and heartache never cease to be worth it. ![]() she did however, choose the mantle of dolorosa, she chose to sacrifice every safety in her life to take care of kankri. Locking porrim in the caverns would have been a great injustice, and perhaps she might have changed in similar ways, but she never chose the caste to which she was born. it would have been the slow, creeping decay of something pure and innocent, the locking of a sunbeam in a dark room and leaving it to rot. in the caverns her life would have been the soiling of something pure: the plucking of petals from a flower or the clipping of a butterfly’s wings. she became changed inexorably when she took kankri into her arms, but she regrets none of it. looking to the future, a reckless, naive nine sweep old porrim maryam might have loathed what she became, but the decision in time was hers to make, and it is not one she would ever undo. she would learn caution, and suspicion, and wariness, and a patience beyond any other troll’s measure. she dedicated herself to him in that moment and from that point on grounded herself for him, learning and nurturing her maternal gifts so that she could give this child who would be killed but for his blood a chance to have a life. so what must it have been like for her to discover a squalling grub with a crimson red carapace, to envelope him in her robes and decide, in that instant, that she would take care of him, knowing nothing would ever be the same, knowing this dedication would tie the two of them together for the rest of their lives - would tie her to him for the rest of their lives. Porrim maryam is a dreamer, and a wanderer, and she has a spirit that cant be contained by any cavern or abbey. shes a free-spirited, bright-eyed child still when she walks she dances to inaudible music and she stares longingly to the entrance of the caverns in passing, where soft rays of sunlight trickle among the rocks and call to her.Ī few lines from the sound of music encapsulate my feelings on her life in the caverns perfectly ![]() YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LIKE ALL OF HOMESTUCK TO LIKE HOMESTUCK. You do not have to like all of homestuck to like homestuck. Okay, but how old was dolorosa when she ran away with kankri? shes always depicted as middle aged, but she would have been young at some point, and that motherly wisdom and grace is not built in a night.Ĭonsider this: porrim maryam, maybe ten sweeps old, a young nun among the jadebloods and the youngest present. To say early homestuck had the same goals, themes, and strengths as late homestuck would be lying to yourself. ![]()
