it occured to me that lanque would make sense as one of the trolls for tomorrow’s friendsim!

ofc thats at least partly just me REALLY WANTING TO GET TO KNOW LANQUE, and I’m not particularly expecting to be right. but my logic goes roughly thusly;

We know that Vol 6 will be titled “Of Text and Envy, Green”

If we’re talking about green text, the likeliest option is Maxlol as the clearest 4chan representative. But what about the envy bit?

Well, we know Lanque’s a Life player, and that he craves eternal life.

As a Jadeblood, that gives us two sources he might be jealous of:

Fuschiabloods, who live practically forever

Rainbow drinkers, who…might? And who are considerably closer to home, as a phenomenon exclusive to Jadebloods.

I’ve also had friends suggest that envy might suggest Charun as a Ragebound, and that Rage might have some intrinsic links to envy and jealousy. Either would be pretty interesting to me!

But I favor Lanque over Charun by a very slim margin, so this is what I’m personally hoping for, for now.

Who knows how things will pan out, but I figured I’d throw the thought out here.
Happy friendsim day, however it pans out! ^_^

This is Sollux Captor, he knows he’s gonna die. in fact he knows everyone’s gonna die, that’s a thing he talks about even before his introduction.

he knows that because he hears the voices of the soon to be dead (which really sucks btw) and he even knows why they’re all gonna die. it’s because of sgrub, a game he coded himself. but why would he code and want to play a game that will kill him and all his friends? because he thinks it’s gonna save the world and I guess to him the world, shitty death world Alternia, is more important than a dozen of asshole trolls. damn.

image

turns out the game’s not gonna save the world though, but it’s too late to stop it now.

So Sollux is gonna die, not once but twice. gotta live up to his bifurcation motif, right? also he’s gonna go blind before he dies the second time. possibly the voices told him that? his own dying voice?

He dies the first time while entering the game, because his best friend was too busy flailing around with his sickle to pay attention and was too late bringing him in. Karkat did feel pretty bad about that.
What killed him was the Vast Glub, some horrible death sound uttered by Feferi’s dying lusus that made him bleed by every orrifices. oh and btw while he was dying horribly he still managed to get Feferi in the game, because he’s a fucking hero.

small tangent! at the same time Sollux was suffering his first death, on the other side of the universe a certain Helmsman expired thanx to the Vast Glub.

image

Since a dead Sollux cannot die again, Feferi gives him the kiss of life, waking up Sollux’s Derse dreamself to take original!Sollux’s place. I assume original!Sollux got to hang around the dream bubbles but we don’t ever see him again.

I’m taking this moment to mention that Sollux has two dreamselves, because he’s Sollux so of course he has two. some theories propose it’s a side-effect of being a Doom player and being more death-prone than the average player. I can’t really object to that.

image

it’s interesting to note that when Derse!Sollux wakes up he remembers Prospit too.

Sollux makes it through the game alright thanx to his badass psionics that let him deal with jealous fish princes and overpowered back kings.

On the meteor Sollux does some tech support and is the only one to skip out of talking to the humans for some reason (a real shame if you ask me). In that time Prospit and Derse are destroyed by Bec Noir, likely killing Prospit!Sollux too. This probably doesn’t count as a death for his personal prophecy? Maybe his Prospit ghost hangs out with original!Sollux’s ghost in the dream bubbles now, wondering when his Derse ghost is gonna join them.

This is where it starts to get weird. Sollux get knocked out in a fight with Eridan, blinding him and freeing him from the voices of the soon to be dead. He’s a lot more chill without the voices, almost optimistic?!
And because being blind is not enough, Karkat knocks all his teeth out down some stairs. Good job best friend! (but it’s alright though, Sollux is pretty 0k with losing his lii2p)

image

Now any Sollux fan who paid attention knows what him being blind means. it means his prophetized second death is coming and it’ll probably be final. Right?

Enters a Sollux who shows up next to the Green Sun, out of fucking nowhere, and he’s half-dead (and half-blind).
This Sollux came to existance when the blind Sollux on the meteor burned himself out pushing said meteor to the green sun like a fucking hero.
So he died. but his ghost, which showed up in the dream bubbles, was somehow half-alive? and that let him leave the dream bubbles like it’s not even a thing.

Half-dead Sollux is reunited briefly with his fully-dead corpse, and they fail to have a corpse party because Gamzee stole his body and probably hid it in a fridge somewhere.

image

Sollux may be 50% alive, but he’s 100% done with the adventure bullshit so he decides to go hang out in the dream bubbles where his dead friends are, despite the begging of his very alive best friend for him to stay on the meteor. I still begrudge him that choice to this day, he would have made a fine addition to the meteor crew.

Sollux skips out on the entirety of Openbound shenanigans, even though he said he’d see Karkat in the dream bubbles and Openbound was a prime occasion for that. I personally suspect he was hiding close by, as evidenced by the odd brainy background and that one chest containing his never-used throwing stars, but just didn’t want to deal with the teen drama.

(I also like to think he did catch up at some point with his friends on the meteor, even if he ultimately stayed with Aradia in the end)

Remember the fridged Sollux corpse? that’s still a thing that exists, because through shenanigans, Gamzee threw it at Jake’s kernelsprite, along with Eridan’s fridged corpse, thus creating Erisolsprite.

image

Now the creation of Erisolsprite is weird, because it sucks in Eridan’s ghost from the dream bubbles, and it sucks in Sollux’s ghost. But Sollux at that point is only half a ghost! Well that’s alright, because Sollux was always about bifurcation (even if he said he left his duality schtick behind) so he just gets split. His dead half goes into making Erisolsprite and his alive half, now fully blind again, can continue hanging around the dream bubbles with Aradia.

That’s where we find him again, with a new fetching pirate look. He somehow knows about Erisolsprite’s existance despite never having set foot in the Alpha session. One can speculate, is he only vaguely aware of where half of his soul is residing? or can he full on see through Erisolsprite’s eyes, being effectively in two places at once?

At this point one could think: Hussie is going through some sicknasty loops to keep Sollux alive! clearly there must be a purpose to that! Sollux must play a crucial part in the ending or something.

image

That’s when the retcon happen, going back and changing things enough to prevent the creation of Erisolsprite. Technically it’s possible Erisolsprite escaped to the new timeline along with the other sprites, but we never see him again so there’s no proof. (I believe in Erisolsprite, I do, I do)

With the changes made, alpha-timeline!Sollux should be back to being half-dead and half-blind, and we do get a couple glimpses of him supporting that!

But now shit is going down, there’s boss fights happening everywhere, and who’s there wondering wtf Karkat is doing jumping at Lord English like a suicidal idiot? Sollux motherfucking Captor with the eyepatches, proof that he’s fully blind, fully alive, and from the timeline that was retconned.

image

Does this Sollux remember an Erisolsprite that has never existed in this timeline? Probably. Does he remember friends who are slightly different than those from this new timeline he snuck up in? I think it’s very possible!

We never see Sollux again after this, but knowing all this, knowing all the ways he can cheat a death that was prophesized not once but twice, I believe he made it to the new universe alive, if blind.

@melodiousnonsense I always lose track of Sollux by the end because of All The Death – I thought you might find this interesting

Have you seen what Hussie’s said about Heirs and Maids?

Happy Pride Month Eleanor Roosevelt was queer, the Little Mermaid is a gay love story, James Dean liked men, Emily Dickinson was a lesbian, Nikola Tesla was asexual, Freddie Mercury was bisexual & British Indian, and black trans women pioneered the gay rights movement.

Florence Nightingale was a lesbian, Leonardo da Vinci was gay, Michelangelo too, Jane Austen liked women, Hatshepsut was not cisgender, and Alexander the Great was a power bottom

Honestly just reblogging for that last one

Probably not historically backed but fuck yes

Eleanor Roosevelt wrote love letters to Lorena Hickok

Love letters Hans Christian Anderson wrote to Edvard Collin contain elements that appeared in The Little Mermaid, which he was writing at the same time

Several people who knew James Dean have talked about his relationships with men 

Letters and poems allude to a romance between Emily Dickinson and at least two women 

Nikola Tesla was adverse to touch. He said he fell in love with one women but never touched her and didn’t want to get married 

Freddie Mercury is well known for his attraction to men but was also linked to several women, including Barbara Valentin whom he lived with shortly before he died. Friends have talked about being invited into their bed and walking in on them having sex (documentary Freddie Mercury: The Great Pretender) 

Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera are two of the best-known activists who fought in the Stonewall riots

Florence Nightingale refused 4 marriage proposals and her letters and memoir suggest a love for women 

Leonardo da Vinci never married or fathered children, was once brought up on sodomy charges, and a sketch in one of his notebooks is 2 penises walking toward a hole labeled with the nickname of his apprentice 

Condivi said that Michelangelo often spoke exclusively of masculine love

Jane Austin never married and wrote about sharing a bed with women (Jane Austen At Home: A Biography by Lucy Worsley)

Hatshepsut took the male title Pharaoh (instead of Queen Regent) and is depicted in art from the time the same way a male Pharaoh would have been

“Alexander was only defeated once…and that was by Hephaestion’s thighs.” is a 2,000 year old quote
