I hope this isn't too outside of your purview in regards to you liking sollux but do you have any thoughts about how sollux killing aradia informs his character and any potential relationship to terezi given her relationship to Vriska (and how he might think of Vriska)? Sorry if this is not clear but sollux tbh is not a character I think too much about in this chain of events, the focus is usually terezi and vriska (and my personal fave aradia) in the cycle of revenge.

i could hardly declare myself the worlds foremost solrezi enjoyer (which i have, on multiple occasions) if this type of pondering were outside my purview. i got so excited about this question i had to go for a little walk to collect my thoughts.

i definitely think that sollux fuckin hates vriska and there's no world in which they could ever be cool, but i also think the rules vis a vis how acceptable it is to kill another person are like. at least somewhat different on alternia. so even though i dont think terezi could be quadranted to vriska and sollux (at least in any kind of canonverse) i also dont think sollux would necessarily hold terezi's relationship with vriska against her. to me this is also partially because i think he blames himself for the aradia thing more than he blames vriska. like he definitely thinks he should have been strong enough to stop it, and thats what eats him up more than vriska taking petty revenge.

honestly like. to me solrezi is allll about vriska and aradia. sollux and terezi are both characters i understand as fundamentally haunted by these relationships from their past that have become difficult/complicated but that they can't quite bring themselves to end. like they're both characters who had a relationship go wrong and now they have decided they are going to let this define them forever.

so to me solrezi is interesting when they see each other as somebody who is working very very hard to maintain a front because if they let the facade drop for even one second and genuinely let someone else in, then they are going to be opening themselves up to more trauma. and thats why i think they would work really well as moirails because they can be two people who can really understand each other and they are the only person the other trusts not to let their current relationship become a retread of their previous relationship. also i think they would like. chew on each other a little, you know? theyre definitely in a bar bathroom doing lines of experimental research chemicals that sollux bought off the Troll Dark Web tm and terezi wakes sollux up at 4 am so that he can float them both to mickey d's because she's fiending for a shamrock shake. nobody will go near their pile because it's made of shredded legal textbooks and old honeycomb and it is weirdly sticky.

anyway i hope that at least kind of answered your question! i have of course more thoughts abt the (imo) lackluster way that sollux/aradia comes up in canon and fanon i think to both sollux and aradia's detriment and i think it sucks that aradia has to be dead for sollux to make any of his other quadrants available. he deserves more than to be Aradia's Wife Guy and she deserves more than Tragic Dead Girlfriend
