#or the fact that he tried to murder all the consorts on his land unprompted 🤔

[calware]

"eridan wasn't actually genocidal, he just tried to get all those doomsday devices under the unspoken pretense that they would be faulty. he's all talk but has no real intent behind it" ignoring the notion that it's automatically okay for a guy to openly fantasize about killing everyone because "he doesn't really mean it," it's also just not true lol

His entire scheme with the doomsday device appears to have more to do with roping Vriska into a blackrom relationship than it does with his interest in wiping out land dwellers (still a valid motivation, but secondary to his sad romantic pursuits)

so many bad homestuck takes have been flat out debunked by hussie if you know where to look
