a ny way2 thank2 + your blog 2eem2 real cool - 2ollux pyrope

aw, thank you, sollux! that’s very nice of you. i always explain what i find for shufflemancies, so don’t worry, and any extra info is always helpful, even if it’s small.

as i always say: please take it with a grain of salt; whatever i spew here is just my thoughts from the song i got, not fact. i’m just a dude with a phone after all.

that being said, the song i got was please please please let me get what i want (2005 ver) by deftones.

-★-

this song is about getting what you want (as seen by the title.) it’s very short and sweet, with there being emphasis on this being the last and first time this would happen. there’s also a theme of struggle.

this can easily play into how your timeline went since there’s a line directly about life—your life could make “a good man go bad”. it can be assumed that it was one of struggle and yearning to get what you want. maybe all you yearned for was for it to happen at least once, hence the last and first time this has happened. maybe you wanted this because you didn’t want to become “bad” per say. maybe this was the problem you were facing once you became blind or while playing sgrub. considering your classpect, it could be because you were unable to find something in your visions.

please know that, despite this reading, whatever you find through the song lyrics and this reading are up to you. my words are not an “end all". i hope this helps, and if not, i can do another.

Fuzzy Gloves

You will be Kanaya's moirail in this! I love her so much <> (Platonic tho) Im sorry this is short :( I have missing work to do bc s ch oo l

Kanaya smiled warmly as you marveled at your work. For the last four weeks you have been learning to make gloves. Specifically fluffy gloves, in the pattern of yellow and black straps. The gloves were finger less and had an attached part that can be pulled over to make it a mitten. The whole glove was fuzzy and soft all over. Honestly, this was the second pair of gloves you had made. The first pair were rather small, matching your exact hand size.

The newest pair, were rather thin and easier for a slimmer hand to fit. Kanaya had quirked her eyebrow suddenly and gave you a questioning look. 'Darling This Is The Second Pair, And It Doesn't Fit Your Hand.' You turned to the female troll and blushes. 'Ah, well these are for Sollux! I wanted to give him a gift.' Kanaya smiled before her eyes widened a bit in realization. 'Are You- Flushed For Him?' Her hand lifted slightly to cover her mouth as she leaned in, her eyes begging for an answer. Your face flushed a dark red as you shyly smiled. 'W-well yeah. I plan to tell him today.' The smiled than grew as you thought of the gold blooded troll. His tall and lean form that towered over you, his body not too slim but with a slight build. His jeans that had a thick belt at the top. Tucked in was a black t-shirt with the Gemini symbol, under was a shirt that was striped in blue in red. Finally his face, your favorite part. His sharp features highlighted by his usual smug smirk, his duo fangs that pocked out his mouth, his sharp red and blue glasses hidden by matches glasses. His hair fell over his face and puffed out on the sides and front. His ears were decorated in small honeycomb themed piercings. 'Well I am off! Later V-mom!' You got up after cleaning the table and left Kanaya to show Sollux your gift of his affections.

You walked around the meteor as you looked for your flush crush. On your way to his respite block you spotted Eridan. 'Hello (Y/N) vwhat are you doing on this night?' He questioned as he followed you. 'I'm going to give Sollux a gift.' You said as you continued walking. You soon arrived with Eridan hot on your tail. Knocking you ignored the sea dweller, the door was opened as Sollux give you a small smile, soon replaced a scowl. 'Fii2hdiick.' 'Lispy' The two glared at each other while you tried to break the tension. 'Hi Sol! Can I come in?' you asked, Sollux than pulled you into his room and shut the door. Turning to you he had slight yellow on his cheeks as he properly greeted you. 'Wa22up (Y/N)'  Smiling, you pulled out the gloves you made for him as you studied his eyes. 'Holy 2hiit, (Y/N), are the2e for me?' He asked as he hesitantly grabbed the hand sewn gloves. 'Yup! I kinda have something to tell you too Sol.' You said as you drew shy. You played with the seam of your own matching gloves as Sollux put his on. 'Yeah?' The troll tilted his head to the side. 'Sol, I'm flushed for you-' you were cut off by feeling lips against yours. The taste of honey and chewing gum filled your mouth as your hands came up to Sollux's hair. He pulled you close before pulling his face away from yours. The troll stares at you with a yellow flushed face before burying it in your neck.

'Flu2hed for you two, my bumble bee.'

Do you ship eridanxsollux? I’m just vv curious (and i’m sorry if you don’t like this ship because i have asked this question to other blogs off anon like a long long time ago and all i get as a reply is just pure hate so i was pretty anxious about asking this to you but i really like your art style and i think they would look great drawn by you (btw i ship them as matesprits-kismesises))

ogeeze thank you!! if im being honest i dont really feel one way or the other about erisol. while i find both of them very amusing to read, i never got emotionally invested in either character enough to ship them much

back when i read homestuck the first time in like early 2013, i did have a weird soft spot for karkat and eridans dynamic where karkat tried to sincerely help out a clingy buffoon but looking back i think it had more to do with my feelings towards what all that said about karkat as a character and just how hilarious eridan was than as any kind of ship. i never really cared about solfef or arasol either, even if i still kept seeing people here and there talk about arasol being this grandiose and 100% canon thing. i found their conversations nice and interesting but...really? maybe it all just went over my head

i guess it just comes down to me not really being that much into purely black ships (unless theyre just conceptually hilarious, like black erinep or something) and thats the way erisol was presented in canon to us and even THAT was ambiguous. i think i would have liked erisol more if sollux had shown some of his weirdo red/black vacillation thing towards eridan in canon, like how he did with gamzee during the showdown. i think that could have been played up as a fun and weird dynamic that would have been better than "eridan is a dumbass and sollux loses his patience forever." since theyre kinda side characters id rather see them depicted in more of a fun way like that and i think id enjoy that

but hey at least one version of them was canon...

Mega Texas:  Day 11

ARADIA: -she's humming something to herself while they are traveling and writing something down in a notebook-

SOLLUX: -He's been pretty out of it a large portion of this trip, but the sound of Aradia's voice rouses him from a fitful sleep, and it's a fair bit more soothing than half-assed rest. He finds himself drifting a little awkwardly through the aisle to drop down in the seat next to her, leaning his head on her shoulder.-

ARADIA: -pats his head- hi

ARADIA: whats up?(edited)

SOLLUX: mmh.

SOLLUX: can't sleep.

ARADIA: -gentle pets- what are you thinking about

SOLLUX: dunn0.

SOLLUX: feel like there's t00 much t0 think ab0ut. s0 maybe i'm n0t trying t0.

DIRK: -he's pretending to be napping, but to be fair he was definitely making an effort. when sollux slinked away it became impossible to try, so he's just kinda curled up in a seat now, eavesdropping.-

ARADIA: that makes sense but

ARADIA: trying not to just makes you think about it

SOLLUX: d0n't underestimate my ability t0 run fr0m my th0ughts. -snort-

ARADIA: i exactimate

SOLLUX: what is that a new 0ffice supply?

ARADIA: how did you know

SOLLUX: gl0bal marketing pl0ys are all the same.

ARADIA: damn

ARADIA: -pauses a little- hey

ARADIA: i saw her

SOLLUX: what?

ARADIA: i saw her

SOLLUX: i heard that part.

SOLLUX: what d0 y0u mean?

ARADIA: with feferi

SOLLUX: ...

ARADIA: wait

ARADIA: -checks her com-

ARADIA: ok we are good

ARADIA: anyway

ARADIA: you know where i go when im asleep

ARADIA: now i can go into dreams where some souls of the dead are stored

DIRK: -listening to this is making him too anxious. he gets up and makes a bee line for the bathroom again. hello darkness my old friend...-

SOLLUX: ... 0kay.

ARADIA: she wanted me to tell you something in particular

ARADIA: maybe it will help

SOLLUX: ... -He can't think of anything to say, now. He's just quiet, waiting.-

ARADIA: she told me to tell you

ARADIA: she said dont worry

ARADIA: and she will find her way back to you

ARADIA: she said she promises

SOLLUX: .... heh.

SOLLUX: -It's just one noise, and then after a long moment he sort of shifts against her, sitting up again and leaning his head back against his seat.-

SOLLUX: yeah.

SOLLUX: she w0uld.

ARADIA: we are pretty good at coming back

SOLLUX: yeah we are.

SOLLUX: ... -He takes a deep breath and exhales it slow, and then his hand slides over, searching for hers.-

ARADIA: -she holds his hand tightly so he doesn't have to look for long-

SOLLUX: -It's in that moment when she finds him -- when he doesn't have to keep looking -- that everything stings behind where his eyes would have been, and his throat is too tight, his teeth clenching. There's something crawling up through the tight space left where he should have been breathing and it's strained, a sound that's bare, too many years in the making. Losing people doesn't really get easier, does it?-

ARADIA: -sadly not. she moves to use her other harm to just hug him. words can't really do justice here. he heard what he needs to hear, and the rest is just being there. existing. sitting in the sadness and loss and grief of another person while acknowledging that you don't have access to the fix-

---

DIRK: -eventually he emerges from the bathroom again, but he doesn't feel any less anxious. it's only gotten to a point where being in the bathroom is now making him kind of anxious and claustrophobic. fun...-

ARADIA: -watches him as he leaves from her spot on the floor- hey

DIRK: -eyeballs her- Hey. -slides into a seat... then stands up again.-

ARADIA: -watches him sit and then stand- do you have to go again

DIRK: No.

DIRK: I just don't wanna sit.

DIRK: ... -steps around her so he can pace-

ARADIA: ok

ARADIA: -looks up at him still- you can get your steps in

DIRK: Thanks bro. I don't wanna get all flabby.

DIRK: -pacing pacing... running his hand over his forehead-- an unfortunate tick when he's got stitches there.- Ow. -hhhh. paces FASTER.-

ARADIA: do you

ARADIA: want to talk

DIRK: Not really.

DIRK: I know you aren't asking so much as suggesting. Or maybe you are. Who knows.

DIRK: Under most circumstances this is where Roxy or Rose or Dave would corner me like dude we're talking this out right now before you wear a hole in the floor.

DIRK: But nah. I don't want to talk.

SOLLUX: that's ab0ut the answer i was expecting.

SOLLUX: -commentary from the seats-

ARADIA: -keeps watching him- you want to pace

DIRK: Well, there you go.

DIRK: Everyone here knows how much I want to obsessively drag myself across this aisle. Thank you for honoring that.

SOLLUX: y0u're welc0me. -it's not to him but HES TALKING ANYWAY-

ARADIA: whatever human marriage is it worked out well for you

ARADIA: considering i heard double the amount of sarcasm i usually do in one sentence

SOLLUX: i'm t00 tired t0 pretend like this wh0le scenari0 isn't bullshit. at least s0meb0dy has the energy t0 pace.

DIRK: Luckily I always have spare energy in what I like to refer to as my insanity reserves.

DIRK: -stops pacing, instead just clenching and unclenching his fists. he wishes he had something to do with his hands, that'd be a better distraction.-

ARADIA: i like that name

ARADIA: it sounds like it could be a rock band

DISCIPLE: -UNCATS from one of the overhead compartments, slinking over and stretches her back.-

DISCIPLE: She has something for this.

DISCIPLE: -wrapping some Big Furred Kiton Mittonz around her hands, carefully.-

DIRK: ...

DISCIPLE: -HOLDS UP HER PAWS like a boxing trainer.-

DISCIPLE: Hit.

ARADIA: what a great idea

DIRK: -he seems to hesitate, but ultimately draws in close enough to raise his fists. they're a little scabbed over from the other day, but he doesn't really care about that. he takes a swing... shaking out some of the pain in his hand. and then he takes another. before long he's getting into a rhythm, and trying not to hit too hard.-

DISCIPLE: -BAT BAT BAT. She is a sturdy cat, taking the punches. At least the paws are relatively soft.-

DISCIPLE: This vehicle. She thinks it is growing too small.

DISCIPLE: The body does not like such small places, no.

DIRK: Right.

DIRK: There's a whole goddamn universe out there just beckoning to me.

DIRK: Where my loved ones are locked up. -punch.- Being tortured. -punch.- Dying. -PUNCH.-

DIRK: And here I am, stuck on this fucking plane. Wallowing over my own shitty decisions.

DIRK: Can't even think straight long enough to come up with some kind of plan.

DIRK: I'm supposed to-- -starts slowing down-

DIRK: Someone has to fix this. Someone needs to... help everyone.

DIRK: It's not me. -looks at his hands, turning them around a couple times. his knuckles are bleeding a little again.-

DISCIPLE: -She lowers her punchy paws, going instead for some fabric to wrap up his bloody knuckles, if he allows it.-

DIRK: -he lets her. he's finally too tired at that point to object.-

DISCIPLE: -she lets out a small chirp, tying off the fabric and petting his hand.-

DISCIPLE: She felt this way.

DISCIPLE: When they were caged.

DISCIPLE: She could not stand to look at the doors, sealed and locked tight. She beat herself against the walls.

DISCIPLE: -She lowers her head.- It was a terrible cage. It is a terrible cage. She is sorry again.

ARADIA: -listening politely. disciple has it handled but aradia is still supporting him-

DIRK: -nods slowly, sniffing. he hates that he keeps coming unhinged, and worse yet, that he can't express how grateful he is that someone is always around to put him back together.- Thanks... Again.

DIRK: -quietly moves to find a seat with sollux.-

DISCIPLE: -STRETCHES A LITTLE MORE AND SQUIRMS, climbing back up into the overhead compartment.-

ARADIA: -looks up at sollux and dirk. so fucking adorable. she's just going to lay on her back, deep in thought-

DIRK: -he is cute when he's sucumbing to deep hopelessness... it's true. he has such big sad eyes.-

DIRK: -leans on sollux whether he likes it or not.-

ARADIA: -looks at dirk from this vantage point and smiles at him-
