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.
so uh, chapter two of that gift fic I posted the first chapter of in MARCH OF LAST YEAR is getting worked on. I'm. So sorry. You are still one of my favorite hs fan authors.
HELL YES HELL YES also that’s not even close to the length of time my poor WIP has been sitting so you’re still ahead of the game don’t worry
I have decided to read TWYCC for the third or possibly tenth time bc you know what I really want right now? GOOD ALPHA KIDS WRITING AND ADVENTURES WITH BALANCED ANGST-FLUFF-WORLDBUILDING
i officially write jane crocker better than anyone on the homestuck team
themarginalthinker replied to your post: I was actually thinking about that exact thing the...
Dirk seems very into making very aesthetically pleasing bots. He’s big on the design of the chassis, and seems to value looks and a sleek presentation as much as its purpose. Dirk would def get way into graphic design.
Little ask-stories sent to my main blog, posted here!

k4t3yk4t said: There was that one occasion with the Vegan™ freshman who discovered the black fur coat in her roommate's closet. She was so appalled... She stole it, not to keep, but to confront her roommate later about. She never got the chance to. She wasn't seen for months, but eventually came back. She was different, when she did, though.. And never went near the pool again.
unicorn-aly said: The Girl With The Eye Tattoo on The Back Of Her Neck™; To always be kind to That One Janitor; don't pass that broom closet unless it's a life or death situation (and even then run as fast as you can); to say your purpose and you mean no harm when you enter That Room; leave exactly 9 cups of vanilla creamer under that tree; don't step on the tiny hills lest your head should face the opposite way for the rest of your life; never ever EVER pick up and keep the things you find in the mini garden 2/3
(I can’t find the other two asks connected to this which is a tragedy bc this fragment is a Gem)
chaoswolf1982 said: I am sooooo tempted to headcanon that EU is one of the places where citizens from Night Vale attend for higher education, but due to NV's own innate weirdnesses, those who've attended find absolutely nothing unusual or strange about the place, it being equivalent to them as being a quiet and plain small-town college. A good math program, decent arts scholarship, but nothing particularly stands out about it.
scarymaryanne said: OHMYGOD I'm in love with Elsewhere Uni! Just thinking about the RAs and how far they are willing/allowed to go to keep their students from getting nabbed. Like a rota for who rings the bells at dawn and dusk and no one will ever skip that duty, not again. And watching for signs of who might get taken. You can't foil them all the time cos they get mad but that tiny dance major on your floor is TOO fragile to revel with the Gentry and you will camp outside their door with salt and iron and the RAs who go in at the end of the year to get back those who were taken spend all year hoarding favours and gifts to use to get people out. They keep the crows sweet because while they would never, ever spy on the Fair Folk they've been known to drop tidbits of information and gossip that come in handy. They're the silver tongued English and Poli-sci majors who know exactly how to wheedle those who were taken back home
thecommrade said: EU idea. That one kid that everything seems to revolve around them. Are they the ring master? Are they a fae? Do they have forbidden dark magic? Nobody really knows. They're honestly too crazy to get a straight answers from them. Its always some cryptic poem of nonsense.
themarginalthinker said: They slide their notebook towards you. "I won't bite, promise!" You look down at the offering, the bullet points and neatly written summaries of the professor's lecture. Though sleep-deprived you are, pull away, sudden sickening realization of what you've done. They're smiling again, and there's something pinched between their fingers - a single hair. You'd taken their offer. They took their due. You don't acknowledge them day after next. Their eyes don't match. You know that hair color. You try to get your bearings on what's going on in class, not paying a whole lot of attention to the new student. Who is paying a lot of attention to you. "Bad week, huh?" They ask. You nod absently, suddenly realizing you don't know anyone really well in this class enough to ask for notes. Damn it..."Want to see mine?" The new student asks. You look over, finally - they seem friendly enough, an why not. Their eyes do not match. "Um..." You hesitate. They smile and /their eyes do not match/.
roseverdict said: headcanon: EU's school song rings a little longer, a bit louder, at home games. and in dorms. and honestly it's always playing just out of hearing range for the upperclassmen but the freshmen are freaking out that there's the song aLWAYS GOING-
solongraggedydoctor said: Elsewhere university. Their are three distinct types of non believers who attend. All three arrive unaware of the far world type 1) rapidly changes their views on the world, and accept and believe. Type 2) they willingly follow the rules, as they've seen what happens otherwise, but they say they don't believe, if just so if it turns out to be a joke they don't look stupid, they get got a few times. Type 3) they outright deny, and oddly, no matter what they do, nothing happens ... And oddly, no matter what they do, nothing ever happens to them. They show disrespect, follow none of the fae rules, and are still left alone, but then, towards the end of their final year, they kinda just seem to disappear, and no one really seems to remember where they went, and even years after the fact, no one you know has had any kind of contact with type 3, other than rumours that they moved away, and did something unnoteworthy.
las-lus said: About elsewhere university: Kids who dont notice time running slower because "fuck, isnt this how it usually runs in calculus' class?". Kids who Starr drawing weird shit on their notebooks and their friends dont know if its from that weird geometry class, if they started a new drawing style of If they've been abducted. Im majoring in physics and really I cant stop thinking How hard would It be for us to notice If our friends had been taken
kass-king-of-sass said: Hi, just wanted to say your stuff for elsewhere university is amazing. I don't know if you're still accepting stuff and I've never submitted an ask like this before but here goes. I've been imagining mischievous or angered fae living in residence halls and playing tricks on the inhabitants. Pulling the fire alarm at 2 am, locking people out of their rooms, messing with the thermostats, burning food in the microwaves, things like that. All the hallmarks of a bad roommate but with a fae twist.
Anon said: There are certain alleys on campus that, on some nights, lead to faerie pavilions. If you bring them an offering, the fair folk will let you dance with them and will not harm you as long as you don't eat the food and leave before dawn.
Anon said: Oh, oh! I'm an interior design/architect student! Just imagining all the little tricks of the eyes that you could learn from the fae and then implement in human design is so exciting!
Anon said: sorry im sure youre getting a veritable INFLUX these days but imagine: student at Elsewhere whose parents' expectations have guided them into med/law/some other 'esteemed' course but theyre secretly into/good at art or singing or something. the fae would have such good sport luring them away after they sang under their breath in the wrong part of campus or one of their pages of doodling got blown in the breeze out of the window :3:3
Anon said: A freshman who lives off campus in her own apartment but Knows more than any other freshman or off campus student. She smiles and speaks carefully eyes always watching she goes by a name that's familiar to some until one night at a party she challenges one of Them to a game of 21. She drops 2 pictures on the table one of 2 girls a younger her and dark haired girl with a duffle bag in her hands and the other is of the dark haired girl with a boy who has empty eyes. "I want to see my sister again"
Anon said: In the end, it turns out she was never any different from you. She just happens to be from Iceland, just happened to have grown up with Gentry in her garden and the sea in her back yard. The one place where one lives with Them in the mountains, the one place where even the government respect Them. She never needed salt, she had hemmed her skirts with rocks and painted her nails with volcanic ashes. You conclude that international students can be just as foreign as the Fae (3/3)
Anon said: A student invested in geopolitics strikes a deal; "Give me the power to stop the corporate damming and I'll make sure no human ever nears the Nile". After all, the fae doesn't care whether their actions hurt the humans, and the student now posses unprecedented bargaining chip against at least four different governments
I have an idea for the phan elf au!! If people can chime in, that is. So...I don't know if it's explicitly stated as not yet but the city Dan comes from could possibly be underground? I'm caverns with glowing stones and rivers and lakes and built into the walls. Or just the dark forest, as this sounds more like geode elf city. If they can't stand sunlight for long, the dark of underground is ideal?
Oooh that’s an interesting idea that I could work with! Maybe if not the whole village but a hideaway of Dan’s? Cool, thanks!
