roxy and eridan heals the soul

I just think it would be really funny if eridan got added back into the fold, nobody is particularly enthused about him being there (including karkat, whom he is paledating), having his emotional problems addressed does not actually make him less annoying (in fact, his insistence that magic is real and that he's a wizard of it kind of makes him MORE annoying), and then as soon as he steps off the meteor, he says some deranged shit and gets hit with the quadrant 2x combo for it

ERIDAN: [batshit insane rant about magic, wands, being a wizard, murdering his enemies, murdering his friends(!?), blowing up stuff using the power of believing in himself]

ROXY AND CALLIOPE, SIMULTANEOUSLY: i think i hauve covid

also, does anyone remember this tidbit from roxy's wizard fanfic?

the guy paused to remove his glasses and polished them on his sash. it came off as a seriously dramatic gesture, just as intended and also as explicitly stated in the text.

#homestuck #eridan ampora #erikar #erirox #eriroxy #callidan #the fanfic bit is interesting because the plot of roxy's fanfic is #that russet herbert and beatrice are stuck living out a shitty fanfic version of their lives #which it turns out their friend grant (who is in hussie's OG wizardy herbert story a younger slinus)#is the one who trapped them there #obviously this strongly foreshadows caliborn and his antics #but that's really interesting in the context of eridan being stated to be a 'proto caliborn' like figure by hussie multiple times #especially because a lot of the initial conception of eridan was as an evil harry potter #harry potter if he was raised slytherin. harry potter if he was a genocidal fascist #if you think about it mudblood is a valid troll slur #and the chances of eridan having called someone that is significant im just saying #anyways the point is that roxy thinks evil arrogant despotic harry potter is hot as hell #so that bodes well for eridan.
