Sup bitches. What with the Animated Series being announced, I've been thinking about My Boys again. So I drew them again for the first time in Years. I still love them okay-

Erigiri....Eridan and Tegiri?

Call me intrigued

Oh, LMAO I wasn't expecting anyone to really notice that. Yeah, erigiri is Eridan and Tegiri xD Which is absolutely @hunnybel's fault that I ship. Here is their erigiri tag and here's my erigiri tag. There's some of my art in there too.

They could probably break it down better than I, but one of the reasons I've really gotten into enjoying it is because Tegiri and Eridan and both huge nerds for fantasy stuff. Tegiri loves anime and Eridan loves magic and wizards (even if he doesn't want to admit it). So, I really enjoy the idea of Eridan finding someone who's so unashamed of nerding out over geeky stuff, that he ends up finally feeling comfortable letting himself cut loose and do the same.

Tegiri is also a wildly dedicated person and Eridan wants someone very dedicated to him. I like to image part of their growth together would be Eridan realizing Tegiri is too dedicated and doesn't put ever put his wants or needs first (part of this can also be attributed to Tegiri's adherence to the hemospectrum.) So a lot of it includes Eridan learning more about letting his loved ones put themselves before him, about wanting them to put themselves first (something he struggled with in canon).

And with Tegiri, a really fun part of it (in the context of a rebellion AU) is him dealing with learning Eridan is part of the anti-empire rebellion. Eridan's a seadweller, a highblood, but he's... breaking the law? Wants to dismantle the system Tegiri has studied so hard to protect? AND Tegiri learning to repsect his own needs and feelings in terms of what he wants verses what he's supposed to want to do.

Eridan is epitome of that person who'd be like, "Ugh, cringe..." while actually REALLY wanting to have fun and partake in the 'cringe' things himself.

I have a whole bunch of AU's for them ahaha.

No sgrub, rebellion AU - the hiveswap trolls are in conscription together with the beta trolls and Tegiri and Eridan grow close, but right at the pivotal moment when a rebel rescue team comes for Eridan, he reaches out a hand and asks Tegiri to come with him, and Tegiri is forced to CHOOSE.

Humanstuck, hobby shop AU - Tegiri works at a table top/comic book/manga/retro gaming/geek shop with Roxy. Eridan is this cool, rich kid who starts coming in and ends up interested in DnD. He and Tegiri make friends, bond over magic, anime, and fantasy and Tegiri forms a MASSIVE crush on Eridan. (I'm thinking of tying this in with my Reunionstuck AU.)

Humanstuck, pirate fantasy AU - Eridan is a runaway prince who takes his bodyguard and gentleman-in-waiting Tegiri to become pirates together. Tegiri is not thrilled about going against the law, but his dedication to Eridan comes first.

Assassin/Bounty Hunter AU - Tegiri is a bounty hunter or assassin hired to kill pirate captain Eridan, but instead it's that tried and true trope of falling in love with the person you're supposed to kill.
