Kurloz's night-terror which caused Meulin to be deaf was an image of the doomed timeline that Mituna saved everybody from

Mituna was a better psionic than Sollux at his age. He was going to be the greatest on all of Beforus but uhhh... it kinda went to shit. He used to be able to prevent Kurloz from doing chucklevoodoo to himself and others

Kurloz will set up telepathic links so that he and Mituna can talk by staring at each other for hours. This is specifically not mind control because Kurloz respects him too much to do that

The Peixies have Australian accents

The Psiioniic has a lisp, but having lived thousands of years, he's taught himself to speak without needing an "s" or "sh" sound

Troll last names refer to the Alternian word for their sign (except Vantas because he was the Signless. His name was just an extension of the garbled mess the lusus that picked him up before the Dolorosa spit out)

All the trolls sound like they have smoker's lung because most of their quirks HAVE 4 lOt oF 5R34M1NG and I think they would sound horse :(

Terezi is the shortest (4'11) and Sollux is the actual tallest (6'3) but he slouches, making Gamzee (6 even) appear taller

Gamzee talks to short people like this (I mean the first one, unless he's sober)

Sollux hunches over so much to make his height match up with Aradia's

Sollux is the most similar to Terezi and Karkat personality-wise and he knows it. Karkat is the person who he respects the most. Sollux is also Karkat's favorite crew member despite his reluctance to troll the kids. Terezi often hides and acts like a massive troll, which he realizes is like himself. He pities her from a distance, too busy with his other quadrants to actually talk to her until his blinding

Alternian skin is incredibly thick and their blood color does not pigment it (or Karkat would be dead.) It also works because thick skin would need to develop in Alternian culture. Their blush is a thousand times lighter than their actual blood color.

Beforan trolls have thinner skin (a joke about how they're pansies.) Their blood color can pigment it as they show their age. Their blush is the exact same shade as their blood.

Lowbloods scratch their horns by rubbing up against the door frame. Highbloods often think they're too good to scratch their horns at all (although Gamzee does it every day)

Trolls growl for the same reason that cats purr and they can't help it

Sopor slime tastes like the green skittle

Equius apologized to Aradia every time they talked even months after she stopped being a robot with an artificial blue heart. Aradia has told Sollux, who likes to tease him about it, but she doesn't mind and finds it funny

Jake is made fun of for being a monster fucker by Roxy who ironically is shipped with Calliope 80% of the time

Kurloz cannot shoosh his moirail due to his lips being sewn shut. Instead he hums calming tunes when he's taking care of Mituna.

Kankri acts like he can fix Mituna's "issues" which often leads to more harm than good.

Jade and Jake's races are Indian, Dave-Dirk-Rose-Roxy are white, Jane is black, and John is half black half white. I realize this doesn't work very well given their relationships but it's how I see em tbh. Feel free to criticize me

The trolls have a scoreboard with each kid's name on it. They give them points everytime they do something undeniably cool. Team Dave consists of Terezi, Karkat, Eridan; Team Rose consists of Kanaya, Aradiabot, Equius; Team John consists of Vriska, Nepeta; Team Jade consists of Tavros, Feferi, and Gamzee. Sollux is on two deams, DaveRose.
