| Cultstuck / Fan Fic | comment |
Cultstuck! by elanor_pam is a completed Homestuck fanfic in which the Cult of the Signless survives to the present day on Alternia, and is a major influence (and irritant) in Karkat's early life.Not long after his sixth wriggling day, Karkat's mutant status is discovered. He must flee from his hive, while his friends plot to save him and preserve themselves, and the Cult plots to move him to a planet that has never heard of the Empire.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The plot alternates between Karkat's escape from his hive (headed towards the cult's stronghold) and his friends' conversations and attempts to take matters into their own hands. It is completed, but ends on a Sequel Hook; the author states that she will continue the fic. A fan-made audiobook is in progress, though it only currently covers the first two chapters.There are two shorter side stories: Bringing down the moons, about Karkat as a young child, and the in-progress > Karkat: half-heartedly attend your own wriggling day celebrations, which tells the story of what Karkat did on his sixth wriggling day in this universe. There is also a spoilerrific intermission set after the main story. Earthbent is the sequel to the fic proper.There's also a (sadly inactive) Fourth-Wall Mail Slot here, where Karkat's combat teacher Blade Dancer answers questions about the day to day life of the cult, but not the plot of the story. Like the story itself, it is illustrated.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

The Call Knows Where You Live | |
| Cultstuck / Fan Fic / int_12628662 | comment |
The Call Knows Where You Live: Karkat does not believe he is the Messianic Archetype, and does not want to be. Unfortunately, everyone else disagrees. Most importantly, the Empire disagrees, and sends out threshcutioners to kill him and everyone who knows him. | |

| Cultstuck / Fan Fic / int_1a8dc238 | comment |
Underestimating Badassery: Neither Karkat nor the Threshcutioner he was fighting expected Tavros to be able to play any role in that fight. Also, in Chapter 4, the threshcutioners do this, trying to lure Team Adorabloodthirsty into revealing their locations so they can be culled. They never know what hit them. | |

Conditioned to Accept Horror: Whenever one of the modern troll kids (besides Karkat) sees a mural, they automatically think, "How many people died to make that paint?" (Answer: none. The cultists use vegetable dyes.) | |

Reality Ensues | |
| Cultstuck / Fan Fic / int_1d9a2764 | comment |
Reality Ensues: Tavros runs into a nasty case of this when he's trying to escape through the tunnels: even when he finds Karkat and thus has someone to guide him, the tunnels have lots of cracks and uneven surfaces, so while Karkat by himself can easily move through them, they suddenly become a lot harder to get through when he's pushing a guy in a wheelchair. It gets worse when Karkat is poisoned and their path to the Dark Hive leads them down a long flight of stairs. At one point in the story, Karkat fights a threshecutioner, and this trope occurs in both a good way and a bad way: The good way is that while the threshecutioner is bigger and stronger than Karkat, Karkat's done far more training than him, so he can easily hold his own- in fact, he's better. The bad way is that while Karkat's been taught to fight, he's never been in a fight for real, so when he draws blood, he's shocked and horrified and it nearly gets him killed. | |

Reincarnation Romance | |
| Cultstuck / Fan Fic / int_3016de81 | comment |
Reincarnation Romance: A moirail variant. As in canon, Equius/Darkleer is forced to choose between his beliefs and the life of Nepeta/The Disciple. And just like in canon, he chooses Nepeta. Subverted in the case of Tavros and Vriska. They were apparently matespirits in a past life- when Tavros was The Summoner and Vriska was Spinneret Mindfang- but in the present day, Vriska is simply his obsessive Stalker with a Crush, and Tavros feels indifferent about her. | |

Character Development: Eridan has gone through some since the game (didn't) begin. It's lampshaded by the others, although they also remind him how insufferable he used to be. Tavros can apparently, if the situation demands it, be quite the Cowardly Lion. Yes, he leads the threshcutioners to his hive but most everything he does after that is concentrated awesome. | |

First-Name Basis: The Grand Elder calls Karkat by his first name, appalling some of the cultists who insist on using formal (not to mention bizarre) titles such as "The Grubloaf of Life", which Karkat finds embarrassing. The Grand Elder also gave Blade Dancer the right to do this with Karkat, being his teacher and all. Blade Dancer notes that doing so in public has made a few cultists angry at him. | |

Everybody Knew Already: It turns out that many lowbloods have some knowledge of the "the gray cultists", at least enough to know that they worship "the forbidden iron messiah". Although most of Karkat's friends didn't know about them, Sollux and Aradia have both had dealings with them, Nepeta knows something, and Aradia has explored several of their former bases. | |

Throw It In!: This is basically where the frog ceremony in one side story comes from. The author commissioned an artist to draw Cultstuck!Karkat; picture had Karkat with a frog in a bowl; this went into the sidestory. | |

Wham Shot: In-universe, Aradia's picture of the old temple is this, as it reveals to most of the main characters that Sollux, Kanaya, and Nepeta's ancestors were involved with Karkat's. The reader already knows, but they're all quite shocked- especially Equius, who sees his moirail's symbol on the columns and promptly punches his computer. | |

Wise Beyond Their Years | |

Wise Beyond Their Years: How Blade Dancer explains the intellectual equality of long-lived highbloods and short-lived lowbloods; it is one's experiences that make them wise, not their age. (Therefore, a comparatively young lowblood is as likely to become a cult Elder as a highblood.) He specifically cites Karkat as an example. | |

The majority are orphans note Some of which had their lusus killed by Eridan, according to the author or were too weak/sickly/injured to survive as little grubs, though. | |

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: The cultists have some traits of this. They're spacey and fanatical, but they are also extremely competent, and probably have the most advanced medicine in the empire. Blade Dancer, Karkat's combat instructor, is the best example so far- he waxes poetic about the founder of his style and can apparently be driven to tears by a bad stance, but is really good at his job. | |

Pun | |
| Cultstuck / Fan Fic / int_83445b04 | comment |
Pun: Toddler!Karkat's crayon drawing is described as "adorable"- a word which usually means "cute" today, but in archaic Catholic studies was often used to describe Jesus, in the sense of "worthy of adoration". Given the fic's religious themes, this was likely intentional. | |

Stalker with a Crush | |
| Cultstuck / Fan Fic / int_8b68d9a7 | comment |
Subverted in the case of Tavros and Vriska. They were apparently matespirits in a past life- when Tavros was The Summoner and Vriska was Spinneret Mindfang- but in the present day, Vriska is simply his obsessive Stalker with a Crush, and Tavros feels indifferent about her. | |

Art Shift | |
| Cultstuck / Fan Fic / int_912b24c4 | comment |
Art Shift: The illustrations are in different styles for different characters and moods- blocky and simple for the Cultist Greenblood chapter, sketchlike with animations for the early part of Karkat's escape, psychedelic for sobering-up Gamzee, and so on. The murals that Aradia found in her explorations also reveal that the cultists' religious art has undergone a lot of change over the years, becoming more complex and abstract over time. | |

Sociopathic Hero | |

Sociopathic Hero: Gamzee, very much so. He's a terrifying homicidal maniac, insanely protective of the one or two people he cares about. Howver, given that the trolls trying to kill Gamzee are trained to be cold-blooded killers (and he's showing this side in defense of Karkat) it's hard not to see him as sympathetic. | |

Foreshadowing: Karkat specifically has to avoid the sea, and a cultist begins to address him as "Higher than the highest, lower than the lowest..." In this AU, Karkat's mutation also gives him gills. He's a seadweller, and his blood color is directly between the highest and lowest on the hemospectrum. | |

Warrior Poet: Nijinsky appears to have been this; he saw combat as an art to be refined, not just a means to an end. Unfortunately, the trolls Nijinsky trained didn't agree, ("One day he looked around himself and saw that his students were using his lessons with no passion other than that of killing. They did not believe in beauty for its own sake. No no no, they could not comprehend it. They could not understand his unhappiness in having to use his skills for conquest!") and after a Heroic BSoD, he disappeared. | |

Selective Obliviousness | |
| Cultstuck / Fan Fic / int_b0bce7aa | comment |
Selective Obliviousness: The cult worship Karkat as the godlike, infallible reincarnation of their messiah. Karkat is a grumpy, snarky, normal teenager who doesn't want to be worshipped and would prefer it if the cultists just thought for themselves. The cult prefers not to believe this. Equius' belief that the Empire is just and can be reasoned with continues for far longer than it should. It's justified though, given his characterization. | |

Mundane Luxury | |
| Cultstuck / Fan Fic / int_b66699a2 | comment |
Mundane Luxury: Tavros is given a new wheelchair by the Cult upon his arrival. He realizes that this means they actually care for their weak (unlike the Empire he grew up in), and cries Tears of Joy at their compassion. The Cult is touched, but they don't exactly get why the gift is so significant to him; most of the cultists grew up underground, and know of the Empire's culture only distantly. Another example in Chapter 2, when Karkat disagrees with the Greenblood Cultist's plan to commit suicide. The Cultist sees this as an awe-inspiring expression of the Sufferer's nobility and compassion for all beings, and he writes poems about it. Karkat sees it as doing what any sane troll would do and preventing a pointless waste of life. | |

The Southpaw | |
| Cultstuck / Fan Fic / int_c54b1845 | comment |
The Southpaw: Karkat (and the Sufferer) have the opposite dominant side than do the rest of their species. This gives Karkat an advantage in combat with anyone who's used to opponents who are dominant in the other side. (It's never specified which side is their dominant, but it works out to this trope for either them or every single other character.) In canon, Karkat is actually right handed, which is like being left-handed on Earth. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: Aradia, Sollux, Terezi, Kanaya, Eridan, and Feferi to Equius. Twice. First, for his reluctance to help Karkat after finding out he's a mutant. Second, for not taking Tavros's peril seriously and giving him a suggestion for obscuring his location that ended up informing the impostor of his location (although the latter was unintentional, and they get him to apologize for it). | |

Love Redeems: Karkat is trying to gradually wean Gamzee off sopor, and travels to Gamzee's hive to help him with this. Karkat also considers bringing Tavros along, thus invoking this trope in two quadrants. In a later chapter, Gamzee quits sopor entirely, fighting through the withdrawal pangs with memories of Karkat's moirailing and The Power of Love. | |

| Cultstuck / Fan Fic / int_db72910e | comment |
Love You and Everybody: In their last conversation before Karkat is moved offworld, Karkat says goodbye to Terezi and tells her he loves her. Terezi feels awkward until Karkat clarifies that he loves all his friends, platonically. | |

Famed In-Story: Karkat (and later, Tavros) is this, though the cultists aren't really honouring him, just his Ancestor. | |

Animal Motifs | |
| Cultstuck / Fan Fic / int_e2ccee25 | comment |
Animal Motifs: The canon characters retain theirs. Blade Dancer's is hummingbirds; his lusus was one, he moves very swiftly, and he tends to wave his arms around when he gets overwhelmed. | |

Cult: The Cult of the Signless. They're sympathetic, in that the rest of their species is a whole lot worse- but Karkat's discomfort with them is entirely reasonable. | |

Fascist, but Inefficient | |
| Cultstuck / Fan Fic / int_eb04f8d5 | comment |
Fascist, but Inefficient: The Alternian bureaucracy. Most of those tasked with investigating the heresy are either spectacularly incompetent or far more interested in their personal drama than in actually doing their jobs. Standouts include the high-ranking official whose main agenda is getting a romantic rival killed and the random go-between who posts pictures of a crime scene including the Lance of the Summoner and coded cult messages cut into the walls of Karkat's hive to the Alternian equivalent of the Internet. | |

Alternate Universe Fic: Of the "No Sburb/Sgrub session" variety. Also, the Cult of the Signless lasting to the present, and whatever happened differently so that Aradia survived. In Spite of a Nail: Despite that, some things remain the same. For example, nearly all characterization remains intact, Terezi is still blind, and Gamzee and Karkat still become moirails. Strangely, despite the lack of time travel, Aradia still uses a Cosbytop. | |
