~ Eridan ♢ Karkat ~ (rambling under the cut)

Ignore how they’re on a bed instead of a sopor slime pit.  This can be an Alternian-inaccurate AU where trolls sleep on beds.  If you still require sopor, you can just imagine the mattress is filled with slime.  Oh shit wait that’s actually a kind-of cool idea to have Alternian waterbeds filled with sopor.  Write that down, write that down—

Anyways, these two have been in my mind for so long.  I absolutely love these two separately, and I think they have an unusual potential for moirallegiance together?  I want them both to be happy and I think they can achieve that together.  They both have intriguingly different ways at approaching quadrants and the sheer amount of content in-canon where we have Eridan seeking out Karkat’s advice and Karkat actually intellectually responding with in-depth responses is just... wow?  Karkat wants (and in some ways needs) to help others, and oh BOY does Eridan need help.  He mostly just needs companionship; he’s alone in a world where he nurtured his own isolation by setting all his bridges on fire and crying about the broken bonds that he unintentionally caused.

I never really do ship art just because I suck at drawing physical interactions, but I tried something new!  I don’t have anyone to disappoint because I have about 5 followers and half of them are probably bots so here’s to hoping that it’s a lovely treat for the other 3 followers (you know who you are)!  Let me know if you want more ship art... this was kind of fun (albeit challenging) and I’d love to do it again.

Character study.

Layer 001: The outside.

Name: Ahane Yoichi née Shigaraki.

Eye color: Green

Hair style / color: Pure white, fluffy and goes to his shoulders, bangs hang in his face and cover his eyes.

Height: 152 cm ( 5'5 ).

Clothing style: Like a color blind elementary school child with unlimited money. Lots of colors and patterns all mixed and matched in ways that would give fashion designers fits. Shops at thrift stores a lot, so many of his clothing items are second hand and have unique touches from previous owners. Fuzzy socks are a must, his feet are always freezing. His favorite pair of shoes are a pair of red converse sneakers.

Best physical feature: His hair and eyes, really bring the whole ‘pretty fairy’ like aesthetic together.

Layer 002: The inside.

Fears: Iatrophobia ( doctors ), nyctophobia ( the dark ), claustrophobia ( small, enclosed spaces ), sedatephobia ( silence ), his brother.

Guilty pleasure: Eating the semi-sweet chocolate chips meant for pastries out of the bag by the handful.

Biggest pet peeve: People who don’t cover their mouth when they cough or sneeze, people who pick at their nails.

Ambitions for the future: Wants to live a peaceful life with his husband, child, and other family and friends.

Layer 003: Thoughts.

First thoughts waking up: ‘Gotta pee gotta pee. Where’s Niji? Is Gin up? What’s the special for today? Need tea. Gotta pee!’

What they think about most: Niji, Gin, Hifumi, where his brother is.

What they think about before bed: ‘Is Gin asleep? Does he need anything? I should journal tonight. Does Aster need her bedding changed? Maybe some tea. Gotta brush my teeth. Is Niji going out tonight? Do I need to call Hifumi? Gotta take my meds. Are the doors locked? The windows locked? Are the ovens off?’

What they think their best quality is: How selfless he is, or tries to be. He second guesses a lot of his actions and wonders if he’s doing the right thing.

Layer 004: What’s better?

Single or group dates: Single dates for sure. He just prefers to focus directly on his husband in their quiet, private moments. But he wouldn’t say no if Hifumi or Hikage wanted to bring a partner and make it into a double date.

To be loved or respected: Being loved.

Beauty or brains: Brains. But also considering that Niji is build like a Roman god...

Dogs or cats: Both! He loves all animals, but cats would probably squeak past dogs by a small margin.

Layer 005: Do they…

Lie: He doesn’t like to lie and tries to avoid doing so. But has had to in the past for self preservation reasons.

Believe in themselves: Not really, but he’s learning to.

Believe in love: Absolutely, a hopeless romantic through and through.

Want someone: Only Niji.

Layer 006: Have they ever…

Been on stage: No, and his anxiety would make him freeze up for certain.

Done drugs: Nothing illegal, any drugs he’s been on were for his various health issues ( though who knows how legal anything is in Garaki’s lab ).

Changed who they were to fit in: More like, ‘changed to lessen any pain and abuse he was forced to endure because his brother doesn’t like to be told ‘no’.’

Layer 007: Favorites.

Favorite color: Greens and blues, especially pastels. Also fond of white and grey.

Favorite animal: Loves all animals but has a soft spot for doves and rabbits.

Favorite book: Give him any superhero comic or manga; but his absolute favorite of all time is Captain Hero.

Favorite game: Yoichi isn’t a big video game person. He does like the Animal Crossing series though and has a coloring app on his phone. His favorite non video game is chess.

Layer 008: Age.

Day their next birthday will be: October 12th, he’ll be 128.

Layer 010: Finish the sentence.

I love: my husband, my son, my family and friends.

I feel: tired, anxious, but also hopeful.

I hide: many secrets.

I miss: when he was still sane.

I wish: that this will end with minimal causalities and all my loved ones will be safe.

which type of lonely are you ?

First Time at Someone's House and They've Gone to Fetch Something From Another Room

You're left standing in the middle of the room, too apprehensive to do much else. Briefly: the feeling that maybe this person will stay in your life forever, maybe you'll end up closer to them than you have felt with anyone else. Less briefly: the intimacy of seeing how someone makes the space the inhabit their own.

How is your soul perceived?

The Quiet Observer

Your soul is like a sponge, absorbing so much of the universe sometimes you feel like you're drowning. You wish you could make your heart a little stronger. But your gentleness is not weakness and neither is your sensitivity. You feel so much more than everyone else. It makes you kind even to those who don't deserve it. It makes you notice the hidden tears and the covered scars. You wonder who will save the ones who are suffering in silence, don't you know that includes you too?

take  one.

Hope

    You have been in such a dark place that they have no answer for it. You joke it's the winter of your soul, but it has been winter for a long time here. You have been online, clicking through all these little pieces of the world - "It's okay to hurt!" They say. That feels sort of tragic. It feels sort of impersonal.

    There is good news.

    The snow is melting. Yesterday is over. Yesterday and the month before and the month before. You are new today. Or you will be new tomorrow. Or you will be new, soon. I am giving you permission to start whenever you need to. There is a long road, and it is tiring. But we are walking it together, hand in hand. We are both cold and we are both weary. It is okay to be a little bit broken by it; long walks like this give blisters.

    But we are walking, and that is something. And what comes next is being home. What comes next is that we will rest. And then we will get up. And we will walk more. And one day, when it is right, we will get where we are going. 

    We will be happy.

    And we will be whole.

WHAT TYPE OF LONELY ARE YOU ?

Loneliness Born of Inadequacy

You've never been as good as your peers, this was made abundantly clear to you at a young age. They hate you for being lesser than them. You don't know what you do wrong, maybe it's not even your actions anymore. It's just you, you're just wrong. You've learned to blend into the shadows. Don't speak unless spoken to. Don't get excited. Don't show your emotions at all, actually. No one cares.

Let Me Assign You a Love Language

A Knife Called Grief

You have left your house, you have left those people behind, but what are you going to do about the memories which have taken root in you? You can run but not without them. You want someone to sit with you on this cool marble floor while the sun burns everything.

You want them to cut your rotten heart and theirs too. You want to sit with it in front of you, let them see you with all your flaws, which haven’t been your fault but you have been made to believe so, and you want them to love you anyways. Because you know you’d do that for them.

[0first0holder0-moved]

what is your primary feeling in longing?

Heavy

    In longing, you feel heavy. Your desire feels like a burden you've been carrying for too long. Your heart is a large weight in your chest, so heavy it brings down your shoulders and puts a bend in your back.

    You feel like if you were thrown into water, the weight of it would drag you straight to the bottom. It's as if no matter what you do, you just can't shake it or let it go. When you let yourself feel it, it's almost suffocating, you're drowning in desire, quietly.

    You unfocus your eyes and breathe out until the stream of air thins, a pang in your chest follows. The next breath is a sigh. You've been so patient, you feel you deserve something. Your yearning pulls and pulls at you but you've tried everything, nothing left to do but wait.

    Once you've accepted this, you push the thoughts away, but the weight is still there. Sometimes you convince yourself you don't even want what you desire anymore, you just want the weight lifted.

    But something says don't give up.

    You're too deep in love.

     Be strong my dear, stay determined.

how do you need to be loved?

Carefully, like a gentle rain on dry Earth

You've been left beaten down and by someone you really trusted and loved, so now love doesn't come easy for you. You want it to. You want to love and be loved, but you're not sure you remember how. So you need someone else to take the lead. They have to be gentle and sweet and patient. They have to watch out for you, and make sure you’re doing okay, because most days you feel a little fragile, if not totally shattered. But someone will come along who will put those pieces back together again.
