NepRose dated for a while before Nep decides to introduce Rose to her moirail!! Rose is a little weary of Equius at first because he's this lumbering with more muscle than the other guy trolls combined but she discovers Equius is really sweet and awkward. Equius just tags along neprose dates as a funsie and to make sure the girls dont get TOO wild. Rose kisses his cheek after dates, he doesn't get her unpredictableness half the time but he feels like he has two moirails now? That's nice
Rose♥️Nep, Rose♦️Eq, and Meowrails is a GOOD setup!!!!!! Equius trying to be a chaperone is an inordinately hilarious mental image though like. “Nepeta I love you but no” and Nepeta’s over here ready for her date with a hot girl and she’s like “Equius I love you but you literally cannot stop me.”
But he’s fun to have there in a weird way but that’s okay because everything about Equius is kinda weird but also kinda nice and Rose likes being around him. I also… really kinda like the idea of the two of them sparring? Like, Equius calms down when he engages with high-energy exercise, like fighting, and Rose is a punchy fucker if there ever was one, so the two of them can just burn off some of that frustration/anger/violent energy with each other and that’s real good for them.
Plus like… the two of them gushing over how incredible Nepeta is together? Like yeah, they love her in slightly different ways, for somewhat different reasons, but they can both very easily agree that Nepeta is adorable and deadly and just sorta like the greatest thing that’s ever happened to them.
And then Nepeta and Rose giggle together over what a lame weenie Equius is like. Look at him. He’s such a walking disaster. They love him. God he’s such a wreck.
And Meowrails are of course like the objectively best diamond in all of Homestuck and sometimes when they get together they’ll chat about how pretty and deadly and smart Rose is and wow she’s just so cool and interesting and ahhhhh what a good setup I’m love this idea
