you are so very homestuck knowledgeable. when you have the time and should inspiration strike, please tell all your headcanons about oliveblood trolls.
ooo what a great question! for this one i think first we'd need to break down current stereotypes about olivebloods. there's actually not much that we're given about them tbh
according to the homestuck wiki, which is based on info from both the comic and more dubiously canon things like friendsim and hiveswap, the olive caste's two singular traits seem to be "wild animal" and "romance liker". both of these, obviously, are traits pulled from our wonderful main girl nepeta, who was the singular representation of the olive caste for a long time; alongside her dancestors. which is quite cute, who doesn't love nepeta?
the thing is though that i am one of those nitpicky people who likes to say, "well, hey now, nepeta isn't actually representative of her caste at ALL." in fact, none of the beta trolls are. i honestly feel like it should be assumed that just like the beta kids, the beta trolls are weirdos, and not really the 'norm' in their society.
nepeta lives out in the wilderness very specifically away from society in a way that is remarked on as being unusual even for someone of her color; and she does not even understand what role her caste would have given her in normal society. and i mean... considering aradia tavros and sollux are LOWER than nepeta, it doesn't really make sense for them all to have nicer houses than her unless she's unusual in her situation.
Tumblr media
^ nepeta is in fact NOT a good representation of olivebloods.
which means... no, i don't think all olive trolls are romance obsessed wilderness girls, actually, sorry, hiveswap friendsim, i have to shelve you from my alternia analysis for now.
luckily, there ARE other olivebloods in the series!
first of all, the other leijons. unfortunately, none of them are really "good" examples either. meulin is from an entirely different planet, and disciple is from an ancient history perhaps even less representative of "normal" life than nepeta is. all we really get from them is stuff we already knew from nepeta-- the wildness, the relationship interest. with an added fact that both meulins seem to be somewhat bookish.
and so who does that bring us to? the final canonical oliveblood.
that's right.
troll will smith.
Tumblr media
troll will smith is canonically an oliveblood. not only that, but he's a famous actor, which means he is basically a "model" for society- for what it looks like once you "have it all made". i would imagine this goes even more for alternia, supposedly a very movie-geared society.
the two troll will smith features that canonically exist on alternia are Fresh Prince and Hitch. in both of these films, will smith plays a character that is self-made and clever, a regular guy who is just skilled. it should also be noted that while a "threshecutioner" is a job with a heavy blueblood populous, greenbloods can also be one, and it's common enough that a show about it wasn't cut by the alternian dictatorship.
so therefore, what traits can we pull that all of these olivebloods (and equius lol) display to us?
olive trolls are lower class, but they're capable of working up through their connections
likely due to this, olive trolls are often clever and self made. they're likely quick-witted and sharp
they're good at their jobs! most olive trolls that are seen in the comic are very good with their respective practices (be it drawing, writing, bookkeeping, or melee fighting)
it's possible that olive trolls have a good intuition, and are fairly in touch with their own instincts. this would explain why some of them seem to fare better in the wild or in fights, and also why they are stereotyped as having a natural inclination for relationships. i think this is also a good transition ground between the impressive physical psionics of the castes lower than olive, and the emotional/mental psionics of the highbloods above them.
so, there we go. these are my olive headcanons! they're not comfortably well off or anything, but they're not wild animals either-- they're hard workers and skilled at what they put their minds to. probably usually working a nine to five and doing their best in life hoping to move up with a good quadrant or promotion. at least, in my headcanon anyway- no need to take this as fact!

[INTRODUCTION] -> Oh no... There's two!
Tumblr media
-> Two for the price of one introduction? Well isn't this just a pleasant surprise! Your names are EULISE HYIDUN and MAASAI KOGOMA. You two are a pair of Oliveblooded MOIRAILS that wonder around the forests of Alternia inside of your TOTALLY, 100% LEGALLY BOUGHT scuttlevan! Neither of you make enough money to afford a normal hive or anything, but you guys don't mind! Home is anywhere that the two of you can go together! -> Let's get a bit of a closer look at the both of ya, hm? EULISE [left] is rather tall and lanky, horribly skinny as well, but he doesn't seem to mind how GROSSILY UNDERWEIGHT he is. Aggressive, close-minded and very much NOT A TROLL PERSON, there's only two other trolls he'll tolerate and one of them so happens to be his BELOVED MOIRAIL. Eulise prefers to be on the quieter side, rarely speaking unless spoken to first. He enjoys PHYSICAL ACTIVITY/SPORTS, GRAFFITI and HUNTING WILD ANIMALS. He isn't the nicest of the bunch either... -> MAASAI [right] on the other hand is an absolute delight to be around! Very optimistic and openly friendly, a perfect counter to his SOUR moirail. But... His RELENTLESS OPTIMISIM and CHEERY DEMEANER seem to make a lot of trolls uncomfortable, and he just can't figure out why! He's a nice guy, isn't he? Maasai enjoys the smaller things in life such as COOKING, NATURE ARTWORK and BIRD WATCHING. He's a pleasant little creature, isn't he? [Maasai and Eulise are open for asks/judgements!] [Sprites were done by @ketchfantrolls <3]

You are VERY HUNGRY.
Well, no. You are NYARIC SNARLE. You are the BEST COLLAGE ARTIST in your entire GRADE and you let everyone know it. You almost never leave the ART BLOCK, and sure your schoolfeeding grades have SUFFERED for it, but it's all in the name of CREATIVITY. Your pockets are full of the most WILD SNACKS IMAGINABLE, including an assortment of EXCLUSIVE ALTERNIAN DELICACIES, so you can focus wholesale on your passion projects. As a consequence of this, you are always INEXPLICABLY STICKY.
You are also something of a GARDENER and at home have built yourself a lovely little plot of VEGDIBLES. It takes a lot of SELF-CONTROL to not taste-test the delicious FRUITS OF YOUR LABOR before they've ripened. Other olivebloods your age have already started ROUGHHOUSING and looking STARWARD to join the ranks of the IMPERIAL FLEET, but you're content to give them SPACE. You're not really a fan of THERIAN VIOLENCE, and it's hard for you to come out of your SHELL.
