You open the book and immediately discover why Karkat claimed reading Alternian wouldn't be a problem – the book is… extremely graphically illustrated.
The first page depicts a fairly tame seen between Zoldor and Teliki. They are leaning close together, their lips almost touching. Ok, so they're in a red romance. Flushed? Pale? Who cares! You wrinkle your nose at Teliki's expression, and move on.
You're able to make out a little bit of the plot from the pictures. Zoldor and Teliki are matesprits, but Dritil has a flushcrush on Zoldor, and is acting as his kismesis to try and flip their black around into red. Meanwhile, Teliki realizes what Dritil is doing, but any attempt at interference is viewed by Zoldor as an attempt to auspitice and break up both relationships.
What this has to do with improving your knowledge of troll culture, you have no idea.
Sighing, you turn another page and catch your first glimpse of a troll bone bulge.
Immediately, you slam the book shut.
YOU DID NOT AGREE TO THIS.
> Jade: Seek out Karkat and berate him for giving you troll pornography.
