Headcanon time!

Let's face it: The 'bots are not the most well-known characters of Homestuck canon. Why not fill in the gaps with our own ideas?

Please handle any disagreements respectfully, et cetera et cetera.

Cal's thoughts

[littleshopofhoruss]

Sawtooth was modeled after Dirk's Bro, which is why Dirk will never beat him in a rap-off.

Aradia was curvy, plus-sized, and generally gorgeous... But when Equius built Aradiabot, he made her skinny and closer to his standard of beauty. Needless to say, Aradia herself- who loved the way she looked- wasn't pleased and went back to her usual appearance when she got her tiger.

Dirk's robots and Hal all talk on a "secure" communication channel. It's actually pretty easily hacked and the other robots will occasionally pop in just to lurk or mess with everyone's heads.

I totally agree with Sawtooth being created based on Dirk's Bro. And expanding on that, he was based on a very young Dirk's idea of like this mythic ancestral figure. So even if later in life Dirk is more about like, being a "realist" and viewing his brother with a whole salt shaker worth of salt, Sawtooth is like this snapshot of the mythic hero/older mentor figure/caretaker young Dirk thought his brother was. Which explains why Sawtooth is a badass in basically every conceivable way.
