Well Karkat does have a somewhat similar nurturing role though he does bury it in typical Karkat-y grump and isn't quite so obvious about it as Kanaya is. You almost never see it in hetero ships though, you're right (it's mainly prevalent in Tropicshipping and Sickleback though again those two ships do have canon basis for it)

Actually it's true that Hussie won major points with me by depicting Karkat going out of his way to comfort a depressed Terezi during the Meenah games. More proof that Adorabloodthirsty is the OTP.
I just wish there were more examples of a male troll trying to get a female troll to cheer up/lighten up/loosen up. Because that is one of only two examples I can think of among the original twelve trolls, which is pretty pathetic when you consider how often it goes in the other direction.
(The other one involves Sollux and Aradia in this post: http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003985. Which is legitimate, but that dynamic was completely subsumed when Aradia came back to life and became all smiles again. Now if either person is mopey and needs cheering up in 2spooky, it's definitely going to be Sollux, although I admit there's quite a lot of mutually-happy 2spooky art.)
So as not to feel like I'm derailing the thread, I'm going to have to namedrop Feferi at some point, so, there. I just... I just did. Hooray for not being a harmful distraction!
