Tavros likes Karkat. He's always kind of liked Karkat!! . . . Minus the bad feelings his first memory gave him because his very first memory was STOP PLAYING GAMES FOR GIRLS YOU ASSHOLE after the cliff incident. Later memories proved that while Karkat was grumpy he really wasn't a bad guy so he got rid of those bad thoughts due to that. :|a Karkat is probably one of his closer friends in Aather really, and there is a lot of trust there. Also, he knows they are the last of twelve trolls so THERE IS SOMETHING that only happens when you're the last of your species.

Also Marine . . . doesn't intensely like Karkat, but she doesn't dislike him either even if his view on the impossible is completely different from hers, since her viewpoint comes from a show that slammed together Gurren Lagann and Sailor Moon. I wouldn't say she's neutral on him or anything, buuuut he's ... there. He honestly benefits from the fact that arguing is a sign of affection with Heliodor.

Reverse for both?

Okay! On Tavros, Tavros is a troll he doesn't think he was particularly close to back home. But he's definitely his closest friend in Aather pretty much because he doesn't really have many people he considers friends! And because he's the only troll and one of his only friends, Tavros' opinion of him is much more important to him than it was in canon. Tavros talking like he's kind of a douchebag? Hurts his feelings even though he knows he is kind of a douchebag and doesn't even really dislike that about himself.

But he feels more confident now that Tavros considers him a friend and he's enjoying having him around. He's less obsessed with being a troll badass in Aather, he doesn't know Tavros is kind of a shitty troll, and Tavros is more confident, so Tavros' gentleness and passiveness doesn't bother him, and he likes that Tavros is such a nice guy.


Marine! Haha arguing is a sign of affection for him too. He likes her? He admires her personality; it would be irritating if she weren't kind of steamrolling him about it, but he generally respects people who push back against him. He likes her enough to come start a conversation even if he did wind up getting mad at her and calling her an idiot because he's Karkat. On the other hand yeah her "we'll just do it if we try!" is a punch right in the sensitive manpain gland possessed by every Homestuck knight. He always tries ridiculously hard and he always takes it really hard when he fails so he resents the idea. But he's really just being a dumb kid, there aren't any hard feelings there about anyone besides himself.
