    aw yeaaa it here!!!! i'll try to get my nightmare and sweet up tomorrow and then I might take a break until saturday since i might get busy w/ irl stuff, but then get ready for the songs i never made videos for!!! I'm gonna go back and start giving links to the old versions, in case some of y'all were having convos w/ people and want to find them since their unlisted now
    Edit: Also a double time remake probably as I'm not too happy with that particular video anymore

  • @spencerg5893
    @spencerg5893 3 года назад +1117

    Eridan was 13 while he was dealing with all of this. With grappling pretending to believe in the hemospectrum, thinking he needed to be a villain, wanting to be loved, not wanting to be abandoned, jealousy, abandonment, his bitterness, and his resentment. Through his lines both in the comic and PQ you really see how much he hates himself and how much he just does his fake plans of slaughter for attention and because he believes to be a proper “high blood” he NEEDS to be that way.

    One thing that always hurts my heart is that Eridan is the Prince of Hope. The Prince class is a class of destruction, so he was literally destined to destroy hope itself, both in himself and in those around him. It's tragic.

      ​@@zacharybosley1935he could have destroyed using hope, he could have been one of the most useful characters in his session, since hope almost literally let's you do whatever you want to. But he was so self destructive and miserable, he was drawn to destroy hope, even subconsciously, his first instinct when seeing angels (beangs made of hope) was to hunt them

    • @ndfdm5705
      @ndfdm5705 Год назад +34

      @@aleksabanjevic8316 Well, other people destroyed him just as much. Feferi basically used Eridan as a beast slayer for her lusus. As soon as that thing was dead she immediately dumps him with a cheerful "let's focus on building something new" with no once ounce of consideration. Which shows her true nature within since she was meant to be a morail regardless of how homestuck or the fans try to depict her. He also gets ghosted by his kismesis at the time, which make sense but you think over the course of several issues she would of messaged him once.
      Eventually Eridan tries to form new friendships and relationships with others but is rebuffed. In many times insultingly. Hope is attached to relationships, all hope players have a attraction/ repulsion dynamic to them. It's kind of hard toi have hope for the future where you're just brooding alone in your hide out and being told by everyone you're repulsive. He actually stops seeking relationships beyond associate/ friends very quickly and becomes defensive of the fact - as shown where he gives his gun to a player and has to make it clear that it's a purely platonic act of legacy out of nowhere -
      The only hope Eridan actually had was Karkat. He had no one to interact with otherwise. He had no future plans - they're all gone - and his main hobbies involved collecting doom weapons and battle tactics for his low blood purge - they're almost all dead. The fact he dosen't start killing them now, by the way, is a show of Eridan true inner nature - When Eridan actually acts out he no longer had any ties to any of the trolls - just as much their doing as his. The sonfg put it best. He was under no obligation to ally or work with them they ignore or disrespect him - then rightfully defended himself when others attacked. When he was attacked first actually by the mage of doom.
      Princes always start off unstable. They actually need a slyph or support early on - notice he become stronger and gains a little bit of hope because of jade. - he might of made it. Dirk was much the same but luckily dirk self conscious, heart nature made him too self analytic to let his destructive side loose on people had a real connection. He had friends. Eridan didn't. He had a friend who's connection was waivering because he was the odd duck out and karkat was friends with half those people.

  • @ihmee
    @ihmee 5 лет назад +553

    When I first heard this song I thought that Eridan was a backround character that was a pirate in some kind of a videogame.
    He was a prince, but he wasn't a good one, he was desperate for attention that he never got so he'd go to bars and such and one night he played a card game with 11 "people" but he broke the rules in the game and ended up killing all of the other players.
    "And now I think my calling is to break apart and fall to pieces" He can't overcome the fact that he had to run away and hide because he's now an outlaw.
    "Better yet invent a brand new method of ascension" He wants to make his own rules and be the prince he was supposed to be.
    "I'm impressed you've managed to survive" A girl pirate finds him and recognizes him to be the prince.
    "But rest assured we'd all be better of dead than alive, cause when they get ahold us we'd all be better fried" The king is killing every outlaw in horrible ways.
    "I'm suprised that nobodys considered switching sides" Eridan is suprissd that the pirates and outlaws don't just hand themself over and be spared but continue fighting bravely.
    "So here I am, repectfully and royally destroying any chance of getting back on your good gills" The girl pirate who found him started teaching him about how to be a pirate, and he knows he's dissapointing his dather but he doesn't care.
    "And I dont mean to be hurtful but if yellows the new purple, well then bleedings the new breathing" He's one of the pirates now, he wants no harm to his family, but he wants things to be right.
    Something happens here and the pirate girl hurt Eridan in some way.
    "I might be your killer but you'll never be my queen" Out of anger he kills the pirate girl.
    "So put away your laughter" The last thing the girl did was laugh.
    "I'm done with black black-handling and red pandering, it seems" He's done with trying to save the world in his own way
    "That I am just pathetic" he feels guilty about killing her.
    "I wont be overlooked" She had said something that made him really mad.
    "I'm past the point of fishing to get back up on your hook" He knows he can't go back to his old home
    "I've made a manifesto" He knows everyone wants him killed because of what he had done
    "I've been bested by a crook" He got into a bad fight and at this part he got hit by some weapon
    "But never more!" Sike he wins the fight and gets cool scars
    "I'm planning on reclaiming what he took" Eridan is going to try to get the throne from his brother that took the lead after his father randomly died.
    "So what did you want me to say- sorry?" He had a fight to get the throne but he lost and his brother said if he'd say sorry he'd get to live
    "Should I apologize when you ignore me?" Eridan was always ignored while his brother was praised
    "Didn't ask to be right" Eridan still thinks his actions were right, even if many innocent died
    "Or to be lonely" he had always been left out
    "Or to be hatched into an ugly story" He wished he was never born.
    "This pantomime is getting gory" He's bleeding to his death.
    In the end his life flashes through his eyes as he dies.
    After reading homestuck I realized I was so wrong.

    It's amazing after all these years, nobody has realized that the entire reason he is the prince of hope is because he was oppressed by expection of his blood color, and therefore secluded himself to his own imagination discerning what the expectations of a violet blood meant. No one told him he could he his own person, and therefore he abolished his own Hopes of ever being more than a king of the sea.

    People bash Eridan for being toxic and nasty to Fef.
    From where I see it, Feferi had _no appreciation whatsoever_ for the horrible job he did for her, she just either didn't or couldn't understand. She had the sense to be his moirail, out of obligation alone, but then didn't have the energy to put in the effort required, so overall it was a pathetic and ultimately failed attempt. Her expectations of the world were immature and skewed by her cushy lifestyle; she was ignorant in a way Eridan never had the luxury of being, considering he had to be out murdering lusii in order to prevent the deaths of the masses. I can only imagine being responsible for that amount of bloodshed, growing up with the knowledge that should you ever slip and allow yourself to feel bad about it, you might die and leave that responsibility to squash the one you love.
    When you have to look a child in the eye as you drag away the body of their only parent, not once but on a _regular fucking basis,_ I'd say you'd develop some pretty toxic coping mechanisms. If you could convince yourself that you hated the children, that you believed they deserved the neglectful death being forced upon them, then it would probably make seeing yourself in the mirror a little easier. You'd be less tempted to just kill yourself and be done with it, certainly.
    Feferi wanted a sweet, enthusiastic, _unbroken_ moirail to sit around and train cuttlefish with, someone who didn't make her feel guilty or responsible, someone who worked perfectly with what she wanted her life to be.
    Eridan just needed a hug from someone who didn't think that was a chore.

    the best thing about eridan is that most of his misery is his own fault. He and Feferi never worked out because he kept her in a quadrant that he didnt reciprocate and was never honest about his real feelings for her, frustrating her to the point where she couldn't handle it anymore. He never found success in any of his romantic pursuits because he tried too hard and put everyone off with his insistence and desperation. He pushed Karkat, the nicest person on the team, and perhaps his true moirail, away because he always came to him complaining about all the mistakes he made while never bothering to learn from any of them. Eridan was the most pitiable troll in Homestuck until he finally snapped from hopelessness and frustration, and most of it was his fault. And that makes him much more relatable.

      I thought Eridan was flushed for Karkat, not pale. Karkat even mentions Eridan making a "red solicitation" move onto him in one of his memos. But it could have been pale on Eridan's end. Also like, I think the reason why Eridan was hitting on everyone was because he was on the rebound with Feferi breaking up with him at the beginning of the game. It didn't seem Eridan ever hit on anyone before the game, since he talks to Karkat and Kanaya casually without hitting on them before the game.
      Still, Eridan was the cause of most of his own problems. But also like, he didn't hit on *everybody*. It didn't seem like he tried flirting with Aradia, Tavros, or Gamzee. I assume because he doesn't find them attractive. He was attracted to his other friends though; particularly pitch for Sollux, ash for Kanaya, and red for Feferi, and red/pale for Karkat.

My point is he acted more pale towards Karkat than he did with Feferi, and Karkat was seemingly cool with that until the murder stuff. There was even a time where Eridan went into one of Karkat's memos seeking some advice and Karkat was like "I got you bro we'll talk later"

And then you add the whole thing with Feferi. Eridan is very misunderstood and hated for the sole reason that we never got to see enough of him or know much more about him. Ues, he wanted death to all land dwellers, but maybe something happened and he snapped. I love Eridan because there's so much up to interpretation with his past and the facts we don't know. I love him because he really did LOVE Fef, and he shattered his heart and stepped on the bits left when she quit being this morial. I LOVE Eridan because when he loves you, he REALLY, TRULY LOVES you.

    you canNOT expect a mentally unstable person to react to a stressful situation in a stable manner
    highbloods, seadwellers, they're already naturally unstable
    to be put through a lot, especially when it comes to your emotions being hurt by someone you love, can hurt someone badly
    that happening to someone already unstable is GOING to completely ruin them
    to hurt someone already hurt is to kill them - their view on society and anything we consider normal is already altered to the point of insanity, damaging them further is a dangerous thing that has unpredictable outcomes
    we can't blame him for acting the way he did
    he's a mentally/emotionally unstable child in a situation that even most adults today wouldn't be able to handle
    we need to remember, in alien terms? he's literally just a child
    he's a _kid_
    now look at what he went through with that in mind
    it's a miracle he managed to survive, the amount of things he experienced as an unstable child in a society where anyone unstable would just be overlooked instead of helped, it's just..

    i heard this song almost exactly 2 years ago and that led me into a deep rabbit hole of 8,000+ pages of a webcomic i still don’t understand and songs about alien masturbation

    It's just so fucking beautiful in a dark way. I see it all from Eridan's perspective now.

    Man, I love revisiting these songs.
    Homestuck once ago was the thing that got me through the shittiest days, I remember waiting for updates back then when the kids hadn’t even gone god tier.
    Good times indeed!
