Okay.

Well, it's a caste system based on the color of our blood. You know where we all stand, because it's the color we type with.

[Not in his case, but that's blatantly obvious right now.]

So, you know, the highest are the seadwellers. Feferi's blood makes her royalty. Out of the landdwellers, blue bloods are highbloods. Then you have Gamzee, who's the highest possible for a landdweller. On the other hand, once you start getting below green, you're a lowblood. If you remember Aradia's color, that's the lowest possible blood color on the hemospectrum.

It's sort of hard to explain if you don't have it what the point is. Highbloods have larger hives, more things. They'll probably grow up to be leaders. Lowbloods are more likely to be culled if there's something wrong with them or they can't defend themselves. That kind of thing.

That's how it works, more or less.
