Offering an opinion as a fellow Homestuck fan (though mostly just a casual reader), but to be honest these two actually do creep me out a little, but it's because of two reasons: In the first case, Gamzee hits a little too close to home for me. (I have a brother who acts scarily similar to him--loves ICP, swears, has bipolar disorder that if left unchecked for too long can cause him to have crazy mood swings of either rage or goofiness that have gotten him or other people hurt in the past, so we have to make sure he takes his medication which, for a while until we found something that helped, made him spacey like Gamzee on sopor slime. Every time Gamzee shows up I always feel uncomfortable because he reminds me too much of my brother.) Equius, on the other hand, is more of a matter of personal taste since I don't find his...uh, interest in horses or talking about sweating a lot to be that funny.
(But otherwise I can definitely say that I roll my eyes at people who woobify Eridan and I don't ship Eridan/Feferi at all and Karkat/Terezi is just kind of depressing considering what's going on with her right now so I'm not crazy about it either. Vriska does terrible things, but at least she's aware of it and does feel guilty for it half of the time, such as when she killed Tavros. And I actually like Doc Scratch and Jack Noir.)
