The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas Conquerers, Chapter 1 - Homestuck Fanfic

[snarp]

This is just me doing mean things to Karkat and Kankri, it's not actually funny.

The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas Conquerers, Spattered With The Viscera Of Its Weak And Decadent People, Chapter 1:

Karkat angrily kicked open a locked Prospitian mop-closet door, having worked himself up to a perfectly rational moment of existential anxiety regarding The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas Conquerers, Spattered With The Viscera Of Its Weak And Decadent People, by Troll Ursula K. Le Guin, and the potential existence of a starving little chess kid locked in there being scared of mops, and oh fuck, that would be so fucking sad.

The door opened to an ocean of his fucking blood on a black shore with mutant red bloodpushers embedded in it.

Okay, yeah, there was pretty much no way LOPAH wasn't going to be behind that door.

I haven't read this yet, but...I really want to read the complete works of Troll Ursula K. LeGuin. There's just nothing about that scenario which is not pleasing.

I was thinking this afternoon that Troll Omelas would be a place where the Empress lived really well and everyone else was tortured in the streets.

So, um, kind of like Alternia, in other words.
