ok so i figure trolls are omnivorous in that they eat mostly bugs and fruit, going by their teeth and conversations. please consider the first time they see that old ‘laughing alone with a salad’ meme, probably introduced to them by rose as an important human invocation of humor and wellness, and are like ‘i don’t get the joke’. is it funny because leaves aren’t food? but the humans are pretending leaves are food? does kanaya bring rose a leaf to see if she’ll do the thing? then when rose eats the leaf do the trolls all stand around like ‘holy shit she just ate the leaf. what crazy shit are these guys going to do next?’
when they go ask dave whether or not it’s normal for humans to eat a leaf he assures them it isn’t, all leaves on earth are in fact massively poisonous and only consumed to intimidate a guy’s earth human frenemies, because of course humans have just as many buttfuck stupid hostility rituals as you squirrely troll dudes. the squirrely troll dudes are all incredibly relieved… until the next time they see rose with a BLT.
#crazy human shenanigans#rose has been known to eat MANY leaves at a time even#rose eventually just follows karkat around eating a whole head of iceburg lettuce#karkat is STRESSED OUT#dave: i don’t think you’re doing the meme right#rose: I brought you some lettuce too.#Just in case you want to go freak Vriska out.#dave: aw shit its like you know me or something#(later vriska too tries to eat a leaf)#(it doesn’t go well)
