Rose Lalonde, Age 8: What Did She Mean By This. What Mind Games Is She Playing

A drawing of a young Rose Lalonde standing to the left of and behind her mother, who is washing dishes. Rose looks up at her with a manner of contempt known only to 8-year-old Rose Lalonde. She has a shirt with a clubs symbol and her hair is in braids. White text reads "Your mother is sober. Moments like these are rare, better take the opportunity to engage her in conversation. Something's been nagging you."

A zoom-in on Rose. Her face is now rendered "more symbolically", AKA with more detail. Purple text above her reads "Mother."

Rose's mother is silent and continues to scrub at the singular dish she's holding. The suds are getting a little out of control. Rose continues to look up at her, but now she's drawn in such a way that it looks like she's trying to explode her mother with her mind. She is also drawn in significantly less detail.

Rose's mother from the back. Her hair has been straightened so that only one uniform curl(?) remains in the back like those 60s housewives had. A conversation which follows finally begins, again started by Rose: "Mother." "You need to speak up rosie you know I dont like it when you mumble" "I'm not mumbling. You just have the faucet running too loudly." "Hmm okay rosie you know I'm just being silly w you!" "Maybe I want to have a serious conversation. I should think any silliness would be rendered unwelcome." "okay what will we be discussing so seeeeriously?" The other set of text is dark pink.

Rose's face is cast in a purple light. Purple text reads "Mother, why don't I have a father?"

A pink eye is shown up-close. Purple text continues to read, "I have my theories of course. I'm not naive. Am I the unfortunate result of an affair that you kept out of pity? Did he leave before I grew old enough to remember him? Or did he suffer some cruel fate and leave the mortal realm before I could enter it kicking and screaming?" The word naive is underlined.

Rose's mom turns around to face her daughter. Bubbles almost begin to overflow in the sink. She says, "Oh" "Is that all this is about?" Only the top of Rose's head can be seen, where one of those angry vein-symbols appears comically over her hair.

A zoom in on the face of Rose's mom, and her head tilts. She says, "Rosie, you're adopted." She's smiling blankly.

Rose is now no longer cast in purple, but black and white. She squints up at her mother. Next to her are three small dots.

Rose looks down and to the side. Her brows furrow. She doesn't understand.

White text over a final drawing of Rose reads "Your mother really is a master of psychological manipulation. That one has you stumped."

You know, anytime I’m looking homestuck troll lineups and like Terezi headcannins, I keep seeing them make her look more gremlin like or more alien even by alien standards and I’m NOT saying there’s antisemetic undertones but I am saying there’s accidental antisemetic overtones in it
