*thinkz abt how modeling your entire self after a particular interest is a common sign of bpd because one of the biggest symptoms is lack of a sense of self*

like PLEASE note how it doesnt say “you are naturally similar to the historical figures you look up to”, it Specifically is pointing out that eridan is not Inherently at his Core super similar to these people, it is an image he is Careful to Craft. this is an identity he sees as Powerful and he Craves that feeling of being Powerful and Interesting due to not feeling like hes powerful or interesting on his own as Himself. in this essay i will

UR HONOR SHE SNAPPED

god f*feris quirk is honest to god so fucking hard 2 read like im not even trying 2 be biased here im trying 2 be fair and square i just legitimately Cannot Read This Shit

[krustybob]

Oh Boy . Here We Fucking Go .

[krustybob]

ok FINALLY ive made it 2 this fucking bit, this shit literally Sends Me, this is the part that was in the back of my head from day fucking 1 of my reread when i said something like “i can use this reread to go off abt random shit in canon that pisses me off”, THIS was it, this right here is like . the CRUX of the Me Hating Karkat biscuit, im gonna Lose my Mind 4 a sec here

this motherfucker literally sits there on his ass and watches eridan shoot like 3 people, does not MOVE, he waits until he LEAVES, then swirls around in his stupid fucking gamer chair & starts writing fuckin hatemail to a version of him 300 HOURS IN THE PAST........ his entire CHARACTER revolves around being a hypocrite dude fuckin... “cowardly” WHAT ARE U DOING!!! WHAT DO YOU DO LIKE, SUCCESSFULLY!!!

also AGAIN, eridan literally just BREATHES & someones assuming hes hitting on them like... im tired!

eridan: hey can u tell ur past self 2 come hang out

karkat: HOLY SHIT ARE U HITTING ON ME??? HAVE YOU BEEN MADLY IN LOVE WITH ME FROM DAY ONE?????

eridan: what

karkat: HOLY SHFUCK I CANT BELIEVE IT STOP HITTING ON ME U DESPERATE TOOL SMH!!!

LIKE........ god he is literally the most useless coward in the entire comic like at least tavros fuckin TRIES... eridans making it Painfully Clear he doesnt have a Clue what the fuck karkats talking abt, but thats all pointless because he KNOWS eri has no clue what the fuck hes talking abt because hes too much of a COWARD 2 face Actual Real Current Eridan, but he still wants to feel ““important”” so he just starts fuckin sending death threats 2 someone over TWO WEEKS into the past!!! hes literally That Scared !!!

and then theres This, i mentioned it Briefly before but im gonna go slightly more in depth again here!!!

eridan: sollux isnt even worth my time and romantically speaking im OVER you, as i have said REPEATEDLY, but were both very important people and should stick together (NOT as a couple just as equal palz) and i still care about you very much

feferi, sollux, karkat, literally every single person whos read this comic while simultaneously being not able to fucking Read: haha wow eridan sure is desperate!!! man i cant beleiuve he fuckifhgn killed everyone because feepis rejected him haha Epic Fail !!!

LIKE........ literally give the dude just a single solitary fukcin BREAK lmao... yes the joining jack thing was a stupid idea . YES he was kind of annoying & stupid . NO feferi didnt deserve 2 Die over this . but like , thats the Thing- none of them deserved 2 die over this!!! they were All stupid kids in way over their heads thrust into a really scary hopeless looking situation!!! the Problem though, is all the social isolation, which also comes into play for gamzee and even vriska to a lesser extent! eridan was surrounded by 11 other people and literally not a One gave all that much of a shit about him, same with gamzee! literally the Only thing saving vriska from either getting permakilled or Turned into an Antagonist by the narrative was having terezi by her side (more or less) like... could u fucking IMAGINE how things wouldve gone if eri & gam had the same . like seriously its right in a perfect little line!!!

eridan had zero fucking friends or support and he just gets permakilled and completely Forgotten by Everyone, gam had like. one whole friend but it was fucking Karkat god bless his soul so he yknow, didnt Permadie but he Did become a huge antag, and vris had like. 75 fuckin people on her side and shes fine!!! she made it 2 the end!!! theres a Direct Correlation here there is a Theme there is a pattern!!!!!

anyway god this is super long lmao i will b surprised if anyone reads this far into this incoherent mess

tldr: eridan did nothing wrong :)

and 2. okay so eridans super fuckin insecure abt the whole magic thing, like, in his convo with rose he wont shut the fuck UP abt how definitely totally fake it is, but like . with kanaya . “he wouldnt stop harassing me for your secrets” dude im sorry but the fact that eridan trusts kanaya That Much 2 like beg her 4 help learning the Cool Zappy Magic is . extremely sweet hsjkmdkmddf
