character love interests:
tell me of them


Who are your character's love interests? Do they have one true love in their canon? A series of failed relationships and angry exes? Have they sworn off love entirely? Do they have the hots for someone in the City?

Yeah, so basically feel free to tl;dr on the subject on canon and City love interests! If I get bored later, I might even make a chart showing about it!

p.s. this is how this went down last time, in case you wanna c/p your answers from a year ago!

SEE I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER there's been so many

but yeah man who would even want to auspistice these guys

[glowsferatu]

only someone who didn't know what they were getting into, hence roping in someone who was a perfect stranger at the time (WOW THAT WAS SO SMART IN RETROSPECT AND KIND OF BETRAYS A MAJORLY JADED VIEW OF THE QUADRANT)

so xerxes, is he actually the seventh or is that just his name
how many xerxes has eridan gone through

[amoray]

all the other xerxeses were accidentally killed (by eridan), eaten by the attack sharks that just kind of attack everything because you can't train sharks dipshit (he refuses to believe this is impossible), or floated off to unknown parts and were never seen again

the current xerxes has been alive the longest only through pure malice and routinely tries to float into and sting eridan

i may be giving lionfish a higher cognitive ability for grudge holding and murderousness than strictly natural here

[glowsferatu]

nah man that's just microevolution at work
he has been established as a natural enemy and xerxes the seventh responds appropriately

who needs plausibility when you have comedy

[amoray]

IT'S HARD WHEN EVEN YOUR PETS SEE YOU AS A THREAT

ninnian probably preemptively claws his arm whenever eridan goes to pet him, but that might just be ninnian

[glowsferatu]

that is the one pet whose volatile tendencies can't be blamed on eridan
fuck ninnian isn't even a kitten anymore damn
kirsten do you realize at the end of april eridan will have been on earth for a legit sweep
at the end of april kanaya will be sixteen

king we have been playing here for that long

i saw a list on the last rpanons post about the longest runners in games and besides singularity or some other super duper old cast, "almost two years" pretty much averaged out as the longest running

king

[glowsferatu]

i was actually the one who made the first comment about how long you, nat, ruru, and i had been here
look what we've done kirsten
would it be sad if we manage to play them to adulthood i can't tell anymore

[amoray]

CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE THEM AS ADULTS

WHAT WOULD THEY EVEN BE LIKE AT THAT POINT eridan is kind of already a convicted felon so good start a+ kid, but kanaya is significantly less of a shitbag, so

[glowsferatu]

she's actually been very lucky to never have been brought up on charges for any of her numerous violent crimes, but i guess that's due in part to the kind of people they've generally been directed toward

she's at a point now where she could and probably will get better, but as much fun as extrapolating for things like 2020 is you can never tell what that development will do to either of them until they actually get there
it's kind of exciting though to wonder what they'll be like if they make it to eighteen
