#a compelling pitch

[caligvlasaqvarivm]

Hey, I was wondering why you think Roxy was destined to end up with Eridan? I get the shared wizard interest and the quirk foreshadowing I guess, but that still seems like a large stretch. It's kinda like saying that Equius and Dirk are going to end up together because they both like robots and horses. It's just seems like the sort of character remixing that Hussie uses a lot in Homestuck. But what do you think?

Roxy

- fucking LOVES WIZARDS

- is a hipster and literally wears a colorswapped version of eridans scarf

- is pink and bubbly

- uses riflekind

- has a perfectly opposite powerset to eridan (can create anything by stealing its void away vs. can destroy anything with pure belief) and are connected to each other through the matriorb

- has a crush on a troubled, eccentric prince so you know that's her type

- quirk cameo with momlonde

Eridan

- Is a wizard

- Is a hipster and literally wears a colorswapped version of roxy's scarf

- Uses riflekind

- Had a huge crush on Feferi, a bubbly pink girl whom he (wrongly) believed to be so nice she might not even be capable of pitch, so we know that's his type

- The equal and opposite powerset & quirk cameo

At the end of the day I can't tell you what to ship, nor am I interested in making anyone ship anything, but I'm kind of just saying, the things that make Roxy predisposed to liking Eridan are, like, the biggest parts of her character, and Eridan is very easy & would pretty much say yes to anybody, but Roxy is also definitely His Type and Eridan is a simp who thrives under any sort of positive attention & would do anything someone asked if they were giving him positive feedback. or attention at all. case in point kanaya fucking hates him but at least she talks to him and he's constantly praising the shit out of her

Jane and Jake also have their introductions IMMEDIATELY followed by talking about how they've got a thing for "cobalt" hunks and "cerulean babes" respectively, so setting up roxy with eridan also fits into a pattern of the b2 kids being set up to date a dead troll. still rereading this part of the comic, but it really jumped out to me how blatant it was for jake and jane

what is hlvrai and please tell me more about this svsss crossover?

hlvrai is Half-Life VR but the AI is Self-Aware and it is a series that made me absolutely bonkers for a solid two years, which is not something most hyperfixations of mine can claim

basically the premise is that a streamer got a special copy of Half-Life VR where the NPCs are self-aware! in reality, it was a streamer and his friend role-playing in gmod and it spiralled rapidly out of control, but oh my god I cannot emphasize enough how funny this series is. there are lines in this series that I still quote because they have wormed their way into my permanent speech pattern. the characters that they managed to come up with basically on the fly are so good, and the ending is absolutely insane

I'm still deciding which direction the crossover should go. I think maybe I should put svsss characters into hlvrai because I do not think hlvrai!gordon would not do well if put in shen qingqiu's shoes. he's so highstrung, I do not think he could pull off the wise master role sqq finds himself in. he would get killed so quickly

shen yuan, however, would be perfect as a streamer slowly being driven insane by his NPC companions. the other characters are trickier to figure out, but I think if I just change which ones of them are aware they're in a video game, it would work. binghe being benrey is too good to pass up, but I think shang qinghua could be tommy, if tommy figured out they were in a game but just chose not to tell anyone. I kinda wanna make mobei-jun into forzen simply because that's funny to me. coomer and bubby.... uh...... get back to me on that. liu qingge could be bubby maybe, and yue qingyuan could be coomer. idk. instead of talking to the system, shen yuan is bitching at his chat, and binghe is like Who Are You Talking To 👁👁 and shen yuan has a heart attack

rotating some kind of. combination au version of that old thing where arceus/the lake trio do some back alley organ theft on ingo to make him better suited to the Task they're giving him. combined with a lake guardian akari au. combined with a tao trio champion ingo.

the basic thought is that ingo isn't exactly the protagonist, but rather, he was meant to be the new lake guardian's teacher. since humans are adept at dealing with their own spirit, the lake guardian should learn from them to not pull a repeat of giratina's falling apart. and ingo's ideal for this task, as a champion of zekrom/reshiram, one of the most human-spirit-centric deities around. so he was taken and dumped in the galaxy team to basically await the protagonist's imminent arrival.

also i don't go there but i'm glad there are showtunes being written from the perspective of an eldritch abomination who got his heart broken by the guy he was paying to fuck him while he was already going through a messy divorce. that's a niche that deserved to be filled. good for everyone involved with that one.

apparently samantha shannon tweeted once that there's no sexual assault in priory and I'm like 😐 uhhhh do we need to have a significant conversation here orrrr

like look I'm not throwing in with some of these people who are like "if roots of chaos is so queernorm and progressive why are the queens of inys still walking wombs, that's Problematic" bc like ... yeah babe that's the point!! the crown gives you power but it's all a poisoned shackle that will drain you of everything and your descendants too!! and all related media literacy issues. but what happened to galian was very much sexual assault and a massive violation of his body and his autonomy and his consent. I'm not like a galian berethnet stan but dammit I can have empathy for other survivors

[birlwrites]

regulily quidditch rivvals sounds so fun!!! theyre already becoming one of my fave ships (although that might also be bcs they're my 2 fave characters lolsss)

I THINK IT WOULD BE FANTASTIC. REGULUS'S PETTINESS VS LILY'S STUBBORNNESS VS BOTH OF THEIR WILLINGNESS TO DIE FOR QUIDDITCH

no more all caps because otherwise this whole post will be all caps. they come into hogwarts with such different backgrounds and such different expectations and yet they are the SAME. they are both stubborn and convinced that They Are Always Right and they are both PROUD. SO PROUD. but they cannot bear to see the people they love get hurt and they would literally rather die to make it stop than live to see it happen EVEN IF THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO DIE. EVEN IF THEIR DEATH IS NOTHING OTHER THAN A FINAL GESTURE OF DEFIANCE. regulus and lily both have the CLEAR AVAILABLE option to live, to let others suffer, and they both choose to die EVEN KNOWING IT MIGHT CHANGE ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING.

but even if it doesn't *change* anything, it still *means* something - that they have lines they will not cross, at the end. no matter what happened before, both of them look at a situation *certain* to claim their life with only a chance of success, only a CHANCE of making a difference, and they choose it anyway.

Frequency of certain migraine symptoms has been moderately reduced over the last week by sleeping in my underpants with several long lasting ice packs in my bed. Not super thrilled at how well this has worked, not least because I think it makes me unmarriageable
