another dump

Honest to god makes me wonder how Sollux would even begin to navigate that mess of Eridan being different variants of ace in every quadrant, because my own variety of aroace is "well a relationship is just being Besties but with kisses and hand holding and there's literally no other differences"(honest to god it makes me sound like my ideal relationship is just what I headcanon moirails are) and I don't know???if I could see Eridan with that perspective??? Or what a Sollux live reaction to Eridan being like that would be

ohhh now THATS the fun part <3 theres a lot of different parts to how sollux is able to navigate it:

their sexualities are already VERY similar, practically the same in the grander scope; its just filtered through their experiences, preferred vocabulary, and tiny personal details.

in post-sprite aus in particular, i like to think that erisolsprite's existence accidentally infects them both with a LOT of humanisms, simply by being made from a sburb kernel instead of a sgrub kernel. all of a sudden eridan's blurred quadrant feelings end up a lot more understandable from a monogamous alien culture system they both have weird grafted-on memories of.

in my headcanons, aradia is aroace and is platonic life partners with sollux. he knows how to navigate eridans relationship likes, dislikes, and day-to-day flip-flopping because he already does it platonically with aradia.

sollux just finds it really fucking funny when eridan is a hater about something involving romance or sex lmao. he doesn't have strong opinions about most of that shit and also thinks some things eridan brings up ARE pretty fucking stupid.

all these things combined makes it pretty easy for the two of them to have a weird little blended thing all to themselves; a flushed base with mild pale undertones, complimented with some pitch seasoning lol. insulting each other fondly and just being a shoulder to rest against when the other needs it is all they need <3

needed electrolytes urgently so I resorted 2 table salt in water @ the applebee's. i Know he would do this, constantly, even with those crank type dispensers

This has fundamentally changed how I view my work, whether that's writing, or cleaning or just taking care of myself. Thank you Granny Weatherwax

felt like drawing a game night sort of scene but i forgot the wii could have multiple players at a time so karkat is just getting bossed around by all his friends

"what's the worst thing you can do as an artist" is not "shade with black" or "not use references" or whatever the worst thing you can do as an artist is hate yourself. and that includes the person you used to be

coming out of my cage and i been doing just bad. going back in my cage because i like my cage

He wondered if Eridan had any idea how obvious he was.

I should be working and not on MORE fanart for an rp so I throw this here so I stop fussing with the shadows on eridans stupid face 🥲

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY 4/13!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't really have time to draw something this year that was Egbert centric......but I did finish (well, sort of finish.) a new lineup of the beta trolls a little bit ago, and in a style that I think captured them a little better........so here's that for the occasion :D
