Jesus christ, Anna lol This was a wonderfully in-depth post that I really wasn’t expecting! Well done! I’ll have to bother you with these when they come up more often x3

If you think I wouldn’t give really hilariously in-depth replies at the drop of a hat, you thought wrong. It is a bad habit. Thank you for fueling it!

Oh my goodness of course this would happen. You don’t know what you’ve gotten yourself into.

Who I pair them with:

EriKar is my guilty pleasure I mean come on these two just think about it for a minute okay. It would be really gloriously dysfunctional half the time and mindnumbingly adorable the other half and I’m going to stop now. (if you don’t quite understand why this should be a thing, please read Lost Teeth Like White Jewels and come back when you’re done.) Toss Sollux in there too in any combination of pale, flushed, and black, and you’ve got yourself a serviceable OT3.

Also blame nepetacide because I think wwixards is pretty darn cute. And Eridan and Roxy and Jade should totally be rifle-toting science buddies.

Who I hate them with:

I don’t really care for EriNep, which seems to be pretty popular?? Good fanthings could probably change my mind though. I have no strong opinions on the matter.

…actually wait, I dislike Amporacest. So there’s that.

Why I like/hate them:

Oh do not even get me started. He’s just so wonderfully, classically tragic, clearly the protagonist of his own warped view of reality, so completely divorced from what is right and what is wrong, and oh how he fucks everything up. And he isn’t just a poor, misunderstood baby, oh no! He is so much more complicated than that: prickly and pissy and snobby and sullen, manipulative and power-hungry, lonely and self-loathing, desperately grasping for control as it spirals ever further from his reach, and still, underneath it all… he is a massive douchebutt who really is more than a bit of a tool. What a wonderful character.

(also Eridan’s typing style and speech habits are basically my favorite thing okay just look)

Favourite physical feature:

Probably his stupid overdramatic cape and his ridiculous glitzy glam rings, oh, what a drama queen. That permanent frowny face is also really fantastic. 

Least favourite quality in the character:

In terms of Eridan, as a character? Nah. He’s a magnificent asshole and I really wouldn’t have it any other way. But I don’t want to talk about the fandom portrayal.

3 Headcanons:

1. You know that kid you sat next to in the seventh grade who incessantly drummed out the beat to some overplayed, yet irritatingly inscrutable pop song against the side of his desk throughout the entire lecture, seemingly impervious to the teacher’s pointed ‘ahems’ and your even sharper death glares? Yeah. He fiddles with his scarf, twists his rings around his fingers, taps his foot against the floor, and generally drives everyone else up the wall.  Kanaya and Sollux take particular offense.
2. Not only does Eridan spend a ludicrous amount of time on his hair in the morning, he spends at least twenty minutes each night perched on his bathroom counter carefully tweezing his eyebrows, eradicating follicles with extreme prejudice in the name of beauty. He is so obsessed with perfecting his arch that he’s taken to carrying around an itty-bitty pair of purple-capped tweezers “in case a emergencies”. Bonus appearance-related headcanon: he absolutely sews his own clothes. Where else would he find that perfectly hideous pair of pants? But he’s not very good at it, and he keeps loudly and dramatically pricking his fingers in hopes that Kanaya will take pity on him until she politely deposits a package of thimbles with a hundred-page instructional manual. He very quickly learns to shut up.
3. He’s actually really great at Troll Chess. (My headcanon about Troll Chess is that it’s like one of those super complicated variants that we have with like four players or a hexagonal board or twice the pieces or something similarly overblown.) He taught himself based on his military strategy books, and he gets really into it, as in ‘throwing captured pieces into a literal dungeon, probably hastily slapped together from an empty box of cereal or something’ kind of into it. Sollux once sent him a Troll Chess-playing AI with an included monitoring system as a joke, betting Karkat that he wouldn’t last ten minutes before giving up. Eridan played the computer for like three hours while angrily muttering to himself before standing up, flipping the table, and commencing an aggressive and “tactically fuckin sound” rifle assault on the board, pieces, and husktop. (Of course, he never quite explained to Sollux the precise outcome of the game, aside from the fact that he clearly won.) Sollux and Karkat agreed on a draw.

…yeah okay so I really like making up headcanons what of it.

My OTP for said character:

Probably EriKarSol. I don’t really care which quadrants are involved and who is in each, but these three are basically the best. See above.
