All the trolls have some glaring personality flaw that makes it difficult for them to work as a team with most of the other trolls.
IDE/THEORY: The true purpose of Sburb is to facilitate the emotional growth of a small group of thirteen-year-olds.
*snrk*
Granted, Gamzee would be difficult to work with. I don't see how this makes it difficult for Kanaya, Feferi, Nepeta to work together.
Gamzee worships Insane Clown Posse, a strange group of minstrels prophesied to emerge on a distant planet billions of years to the future. He also eats sopor slime. I think that's weirdness enough.
Kanaya is a reverse goth, which makes her probably one of the most human trolls. In Alternian society, I think she'd be something of an outcast with her weird interests. She has turned her mind to fashion, interior decoration and landscaping, esoteric crafts which interest very, very few trolls. She also goes outside during daytime, being resistant to the rays of Alternia's sun, an extremely rare trait in a troll.
Feferi is flighty, and has a very unusual worldview for a troll. She believes that the weak should be cared for, not culled, and has spent most of her time adopting various ocean creatures and pretending to like Eridan to keep him from killing all the land dwellers. As of now, she has focused almost exclusively on helping others, and it's a bit unclear what
she wants to do, other than help others. She also has the least screentime and characterization.
Nepeta lives in a cave, kills wild animals with her bare hands and wears their pelts for fun and roleplaying. She also ships her friends, and keeps track of their relations by means of wall paintings drawn in blood.
And of course the stoner juggalo, the wannabe vampire, the crazy cat woman and the furry don't have to just work with each other, but also cooperate with the overdramatic genocidal racist, the guy who loves being STRONG, the mass-murdering bitch, the justice-obsessed vigilante, the bipolar psychic, the wheelchair-bound fiduspawn enthusiast, the psychic robot ghost and the guy who hates everything.
I am having trouble condensing some trolls into pithy titles, but I think it should be clear that they might have some difficulties with working as a team.
I think this is hilarious.
