kanaya mentions all trolls having black lips naturally, but only female trolls are seen with this implying this may be a form of sexual dimorphism in trolls. kanaya also applies black lipstick in this panel, which would then represent presented femininity. from this we can clearly infer kanaya is trans and uses black lipstick to combat dysphoria, in this essay i will
In addition, Kanaya once has to explicitly state that she is a girl after John assumes she’s a boy. She says “It Happens”, implying that John’s mistake is not an isolated case but rather a frequent occurrence. It is extremely common for trans women to be read as male by others, no matter how femininely they present, so we may take this as another piece of evidence that Kanaya is trans.
Most of the couples in the au follow the canon ending, that is to say:
Rose and Kanaya are married and happy! They live together in the Carapacian Kingdom, where they rule as both Queens and Goddesses. Rose enjoys her role of guidance, while Kanaya goes regularly to the Troll Kingdom to see how everything is going with the Mother Grub and the eggs (and to visit her friends too, of course.)
Karkat and Dave live together in the Troll Kingdom, Karkat filling an important leaderly role for the trolls. He fucking loves his job and is really enjoying those new responsibilities in building up a new civilisation. The life there is animated and loud, making Dave feel plenty at ease and leaving him all the time in the world to explore his multiple interests.
Roxy, Callie, and Jane live all together in the Carapacian kingdom. They don’t concern themselves too much with the ruling part of it, Roxy spending a lot of time in the lab she shared with Jade before or just having fun around earth c with her girlfriends. Jane goes regularly to the human kingdom, as she is one of the main deities there and continues working on Crockercorp, which she is quite passionate about.
