TBH, in homestuck overall, the troll I feel the most sorry for is Gamzee. If anything with being mind controlled, the excessive amounts of sopor, and cal's influence all together, now he's an embodiment of the primal instinct to kill. Sadly it's hard to tell if the Gamzee we all used to know and love is still in there or not.
I suspect that he might be there. Do you remember when Terezi beat him up before he beat her up? Remember what he said? "Stop! It hurts!" I don't know what you think of this, but I believe that this might be, even if a split-second, be that Gamzee we all loved :) It was heart-breaking to hear(read) him say that, of course :)
I feel like most people paint Gamzee in ether one light or another. Ether good with just a hard life or evil and insane. But I think he's a bit more complex. (warning this will be a bit long and will contain some spoilers) Starting with Gamzee's blood color: He has purple blood, known to be the most violent cast out of all of them. So it is technically in his nature to be aggressive. This behavior was suppressed by the soper pies he frequently ate without knowing what they did to him. The fact that he ate them was due to Goat Dad constantly leaving him. He was never taught not to do it. There is no canon information as to why Goat Dad left Gamzee so I'm not going to touch on that too much. However it can be viewed in a positive or negative light. While it was very sad that Gamzee never had a parental figure, it also allowed him to make friends instead of succumbing to his nature sooner. Why Gamzee went insane was pretty complicated too. I believe it started when Dave mocked his "religion" that almost all purple blooded trolls share (by sending him the video). Then, when Gamzee ran out of the soper pies he became sober and realized a lot of things. 1: Most of his friends didn't like him much, 2: His religion (this one is possibly spurred by Dave's video) doesn't actually mean much any more, and 3: That he is a very high ranking blood color. These realizations led him, who with his nature and the fact that he is practically a young child (considering how 'high' he had been his whole life and the small amount of teaching he received from Goat Dad) led him to the conclusion that everyone else deserved to die. Wile this could be viewed as inherently evil it's hard to label it. Technically Equius's death was the only one he did out of spite. Both Karkat and Nepita attacked him before he killed them, even though he didn't necessarily /have/ to kill ether. When he attacked Terezy it was partly because of how she had attacked him. These are only my personal opinions and you can interpret them how ever you want but I think even though Gamzee is mentally unstable he's not inherently evil.
I agree.......I always viewed Gamzee as a misguided kid who didnt have anyone to point him in the right direction..... But I do remember seeing a sadstuck pic of goat dad saying " I wanted to teach you freedom......but instead...i taught you loneliness" and thats my personall canon
Maybe he stored up all his anger, sadness, and hatred and tried to hide that just as some do by bring drunk until he finally burst and an exposition from the release of pain from anger that was locked up in him was so bad it took all of him.
no matter how much my friends will look down upon me for this. and no matter how much my sibling will think I'm weird because of this. I will always love Gamzee. Gamzee is that one person who I will protect with all my might. And who I will defend in arguments. Because he makes me laugh. He makes me scared. He makes me want to protect him and he makes me want to be hugged by him all at the same time.
I get that sis. I'm not even kidding you when I say Gamzee and his overall being literally got me over my ex and some of my depression, strange as that sounds. I know this comment is like 2 years old, but I felt the need to say it. Ah well, I'll stop typing now.
:40 Aww nu pOoR GaMzEe!1! 1:18 Yay Goatdad! Listen, I understand NONE of this, and i've been reading the longer comments (and some shorter ones, too) and it's making some sense. Not much, but some. I was just recently introduced to this "Fandom", and am new with most things on the internet, so let me make this clear: DON'T LISTEN TO ANYTHING I SAY! READ IF YOU WANT, BUT I MAY GET FACTS/OPINIONS WRONG! Ok, I did some research on... this... topic, and purple blood DOES, in fact, supposedly make the... thing... more agressive. You know what, I'm just gonna shut up and post this comment... Also... HaPpY HaLlOwEeN!1!1!
i totally understand this for the reason that..Life has been that way for me..I rarely felt love and now im not even sure what it is? i bet it feel nice and warming to the touch of heart :o) im not really sure how it feels but its ok...promise
i know this is supposed to be all feelsy and shit but uh... did ANYBODY notice that the fucking scary horn honked version of el cucaracha was playing???
The world is full of motherfucking miracles. Not everybody recognizes them, but they're always there, waiting to make our lives better at the right moment.
I cried. Here is why it's because I have grown a strong bond with the characters and I have a been stronger bond with Gamze so this just broke my heart. Imagine this your with all these babies and they get picked and your left all alone and then this person takes you in but,leaves you like everyone else then you go insane and take drugs and theeen you kill all your friends so finally you snap out of it and your all alone again with no friends no family so ya that's sad bro
(spoiler) And now hes in a fucking fridge. Hussie didn't even have the decency to give him a good tear-jerking death. He's just locked in a fridge. What a waste of an amazingly developed and complicated character. Fuck I hate/love homestuck.
He in the fridge so that he's accounted for. Rather than saying he's still alive somewhere. I think his in a fridge because hes nor supposed to die yet and probably be of use later on. Hussie probably didn't have the energy to say how he got to everyone else so he just simplified it to "he broke out of the fridge and is here to help"
The only problem with Gamzee crying at the end is that he never did. He never felt remorse or guilt he would have continued to slaughter everyone if it weren't for Karkat :(
