not sure if you can really say that sollux got voidrot
voidrot seems like it drains all kinds of energy, including psychic energy, ultimately killing the troll(s) infected with it
+ when Sollux died, i think it was from overexerting himself?

I didn’t say Sollux got voidrot. I said that whatever condition Sollux did have had some stark similarities with Voidrot, enough so that odds are good we can learn about one from the other.

We don’t know if what Sollux has is voidrot, and we also don’t know if voidrot is a disease that one contracts or if it’s simply what happens to psiionics when they overexert themselves. We don’t know how voidrot progresses! If Kuprum got voidrot, would he be more like Sollux or like Folykl at the onset? Etc.

What we do know is both conditions left the victim with blindness, and left them d00med. Given how close Doom and Void are on the aspect wheel, and that voidrot seems to be exclusive to goldbloods–who I already believe to be Doom coded biologically–these are worthwhile similarities to keep in mind.

That’s all I’m saying.
