So what were the certain serket-related events????? Not knowing is torturing me and knowing will probably torture me too but I GOTTA KNOW

((OOC: alrighty so some (all) of the events in this comic were kinda vague, so this is the disambiguation.

Vriska pushed Tavros off a ledge during a school field trip, which resulted in him being paralyzed. No one saw, but Aradia was Suspicious, so against the advice of Sollux to just leave well enough alone she interrogated Tavros on the matter and subtly recorded the conversation without his knowledge. As soon as she got the admission that it was Vriska she left and showed Sollux the recording. Sollux told her to anonymously send it to school administration and let them handle it, because he realized that if Vriska was willing to push someone off a cliff for pretty much no reason then she’d probably do a lot worse to avoid getting expelled. Aradia, however, was incredibly angry at Vriska, and she was determined to make sure Vriska knew it. She wanted to have her moment of revenge, basically. Sollux tried to convince her not to do that and the two of them had a big fat fight over it. Aradia proceeded to ignore this advice. After school, she trolled Vriska and tells her that she knows. Vriska then ducked into a supply closet so she could have a conversation with Aradia in private, and Aradia followed her. Aradia played the recording of Tavros, Vriska stole the phone, locked Aradia in the supply closet, and left.  Sollux, meanwhile, was trying to contact Aradia via the phone she no longer had over the next two days. His dialogue is kinda small, so in case you can’t read it, it’s reprinted after the summary. Anyway. Monday morning the janitors came back, unlocked the supply closet, and discovered Aradia passed out on the floor from dehydration. She got sent to the hospital. When she woke up, Aradia realized she didn’t have the recording of Tavros anymore, and that Vriska was going to get away with it (because Tavros wasn’t gonna fall for the same trick twice). This dealt a bit of a blow on her emotionally. When the cops came to talk to her about how she ended up locked in a closet over the weekend she refused to talk to them out of some belief that Vriska would find a way to wriggle out of it and that it was pointless to tell anyone. As a result, the school kind of assumed Aradia was just hanging out in the closet for shizzes and giggles and the janitors accidentally locked her in.

Aradia wasn’t exactly mad at Sollux anymore after that, but she also just wasn’t the same person anymore. Sollux blamed himself. It sabotaged their friendship and they just stopped talking to each other eventually. :) :) :)

Also, sorry this took so danged long. I don’t have an excuse. Please forgive me.

((ooc: Well this sure is disgustingly late. Oops, haha, I got distracted by the rest of my life and also a fair amount of doing nothing. Anyway, have some fluffy banter. I’m gonna attempt to very slowly work my way through the gross accumulation of unanswered asks. The time travel event is still over, but I’m going to (eventually, probably) answer all the stuff that’s already in my inbox, as promised. All new asks will be answered by the smol children as usual.

[s0llux-and-aa]

((ooc: hey people i have words to type at you

so i had plans to draw lots of comics today and yesterday and as you may have observed, no comics have been drawn. That is because I got sorta sick. I have done p much nothing except lie around in a zombie-esque state of stagnation. As a result, I’m sort-of extending the event past Sunday, meaning that I will (eventually) answer any questions that are in my askbox before Monday morning. Disclaimer: this will might take a while. Sorry in advance. Sadly, I cannot spend 100% of my time drawing S0llux and AA. I have to go to school and stuff. Drat.))

[s0llux-and-aa]

((ooc: this is for the time travel event. Also, for those of you who are confused, here are some convenient links to Aradia’s and Sollux’s timelines.))

((ooc x2 combo: don’t worry, anon, you may be trash, but so am I. We can have trash solidarity.))

((rare ooc x3 combo: btw I totally out-trashed you. I took your shipping and raised you a bittersweet angst. Your move, anon. Your move.))

[s0llux-and-aa]

TIME TRAVEL EVENT

ooc: So since it’s winter break and I have free time, I think I’m going to do one of those “events” that all the cool kids are doing. From now until next Sunday, you can ask questions to/about the kids at any age. Since I went to all the trouble of making those timelines, I might as well use them, right? You don’t have to stick to the predefined age-brackets, but please specify in your asks which age you’re aiming for. If you don’t, I will guess, and my guess will infallibly be 2 months, and that will be kind of boring because babies don’t really do much in the way of answering questions. I’ll try to answer as many of these as I can, as long as I feel like it. I make no promises.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[s0llux-and-aa]

yo sol- are there any other girls in your life??

[s0llux-and-aa]

Merry Christmas, folks. 

[s0llux-and-aa]

AC: :33 *ac sighs deeply*

[s0llux-and-aa]

hey sollux have you ever gotten bullied and if so what happened?

TA: the guy’2 gulliible a2 heck and wear2 wool 2ock2. ii couldn’t pa22 up a golden opportuniity liike that.

[s0llux-and-aa]

So, what exactly happened when Sollux moved in that was so awful?

PSI: Thankfully, HIItomII didn’t press charges.

PSI: In hIIndsIIght, pIIckIIng that lock was probably a bad call.

((ooc: this ask is referencing this one. also, Hitomi is mom Megido, for those of you who didn’t read the character bios. Also also, if you can't read Sollux's shirt, it says "Future Nerd"))

[s0llux-and-aa]

have you ever done mad libs?

((ooc: Eridan Ampora, aka the only kindergartner who goes to school in slacks, dress shirts, and knit wool sweaters))
