Oh you are evil, I accept your challenge. You have no idea how hard this was. So the character I like the best is Karkat, so here are the 5 things for Equius and Karkat.

Things I like about Equius

1. I do like his dedication for a cause. Do I hate that it is directed at something fucking awful as blood supremacy, ye. Yes I do. But I also can’t help respect him for his loyalty for this either. He is ride or die for the hierarchy, like a knight to a king. So I can respect that.
2. I do like his tenacity. He has rage for days, but his fight scenes against monsters with nothing but fists was pretty col. I can’t argue with his skill
3. (Fucking kill me for this) His coy nature when trying out his kink. Like, he gets nervous talking about his kink or being called out on it. And to see him put himself out there to see if anyone wants to help in his fantasies, that does take some courage to do. I like this side of him because this way I know even in his hardest thick-headedness of castest bullshit and anger issues, he still has a timid and softer side to him that makes him more well-rounded as a character
4. and on the subject, after looking back…..he doesn’t actually do it without people’s consent. Let’s be clear, I will always hate forcing roleplay on someone who doesn’t want it/doesn’t know. But…when Equius was roleplaying with Gamzee he asked for it. He specifically asked Gamzee directly for roleplaying. When talking with Aradia, he originlly tried to keep things professional as leader but the situation got too much for him to handle. While we can totally argue on whether uninformed consent is real consent (And I am sure Gamzee has no idea what exactly the type of roleplay he was doing) at least Equius asked permission. So that is a positive thing for him.
5. I do like how he gets so up his ss on ordering people round that it takes him completely be surprise that people will do as he says. Like, every time. That’s funny

Things I hate about Karkat (this is super hard to write out)

1. I hate how he uses the word Bulge. I’m sorry but the way Karkat uses it it just doesn’t work or something. It always annoys me.
2. I hate his anger. I know that Karkat is a big angry boy, but I hate how he always seems to lash out at everyone he comes across. Hell, even at himself with those future memos. There are some cases I get why, like Karkat being angry for John destroying his home, but most of the time it is just perpetual anger just because. Like, at times when he gets embarrassed and hisses like an angry cat, I get it. But he is angry all the time, without and specific reason, and if he was a really person, I don’t know if I would be around him for long
3. Karkat’s apparent God Complex. How he needs to be in command and take control and be an ass about it. I know that he can be a decent leader, like what Terezi and future Karkat says, but when he gets so power hungry it makes me want to bang my head on the desk.
4. I still hate how he treated Jade. I’m sorry, I get how he dislikes John for his hate-love SPADES feelings, but that does not excuse the awful things he said about Jade. Especially when there seems to be no point other than to insult her.
5. I hate Karkat’s inferiority complex. I get the blood trash thing, but it is because of that that is lead to his actions. He let it get so into ingrained into his head that he felt like he had to hide himself away, and lash at anyone who approaches. Literally everything that I hate about Karkat

I am still holding out on teh fact that the kids did somehow space time information to the troll like what happened with Rose’s manual. Because there is no way I will accept the idea that the reason we have furry art and rap battles is because of the Trolls. They may have created humanity, but they did not create human culture
