I think it's the reverse. Gender IS real. Male is male and female is female. There is no 3rd gender. As from the hemospectrum thing, all the trolls are one race, the Trolls. Sure, they have different blood and different functions, but if they work together, they could be a prosperous society. Also, adults NEED to be there. They need to be in charge so that things can run and work. The children need to be in school and also enjoy their time before becoming adults. In short, gender IS real and the Trolls need a better society.
I think the point with Eridan is that he's a Prince of Hope, and they highlight this by him "destroying" his belief in a rigid, binary system of gender. However, him being an active class means he only destroys his beliefs whenever destroying benefits him. The hemospectrum benefits him directly, seeing as he is amongst the highest bloodcastes. The part of him railing against gender conformity is supposed to point out this contradiction. He destroys outdated beliefs about gender for his own benefit, but the hemospectrum allows him to destroy to his own benefit. Of course the contradiction only makes sense if you understand that sex and gender aren't the same, gender identity is more complicated than ones biological parts, and in fact most of gender is pure aesthetics: there are no biological reasons as to why men and women wear completely different clothes and aesthetics, there's no biological reason as to why shorter hair is considered masculine, etc. Much of gender is cultural, not biological. There is an arbitrary set of rules put in place as to what is and isn't acceptable behaviour for men and women, and not following these rules in most places makes you open to ridicule and harassment. Of course, culturally, in most places there is a binary. However all over the world there are various cultures that do in fact have a cultural idea of a 3rd gender: listverse.com/2015/10/21/10-examples-of-nonbinary-genders-throughout-history/ It is a mistake to think that trans, non-binary, gay and bi people are a recent thing. Also, even biologically there is no binary. Intersex people exist, and they have always existed too. Thank you for coming to my ted talk
I've had that headcanon for years. Him and Dualscar. Cronus also has one that is poorly covered up by his attempt at a greaser accent. Those are just mine though.
honestly as a big eridan fan and someone who's not really a fan of a lot of modern homestuck writing or how fans act about him i'm pretty happy with this ! i think they struck a really good chord with eridan here where his actions are reprehensible but they actually do make quite a lot of acknowledgement about the fact that eridan isn't even the big bad genocidal asswipe he's so intent on painting himself as - sollux's entire speech at the end i mostly adored _(one or two lines felt a bit off and generic and...... idk, twitter-person-y?? which is a problem with a lot of modern homestuck stuff for me, but most of it was really good imo)_ and i like that even the person who has the most reason to hate eridan of anyone outright says he doesn't even believe in the discriminatory garbage he spews off i guess i still don't agree entirely with the viewpoint taken of him here _(i still feel eridan is treated like he's somehow by far the worst of the trolls even next to gamzee and especially vriska and like...... i'm sorry, i like vriska more than eridan as a character, she's one of the two beta trolls i like over him, but she's absolutely no better than him on a moral level and i get tired of the fans who act like she is)_ but i think they largely did him _(and sollux here)_ justice, which is honestly relieving considering i'm so used to... well, what i just talked about in parenthesis, which i still feel was _kiiinda_ there but not to an egregious extent ! also, i admit literally as someone who DESPISES GENDER STIGMA and finds binary bs outdated af that i find a lot of the retroactive gender stuff with the og chars feeling a bit forced but like, march eridan has been around for ages, and while clothing doesn't mean jack about your identity i think it makes sense eridan would find stigma around gender to be kinda bullshit as he should ! and of course it worked as a really good juxtaposition with eridan's classist "beliefs" _(which on another note, i somehow never made the connection between eridan's fake belief in the hemospectrum and his title as a prince of hope..... well, i've talked about that in regards to his denial of magic before so MAYBE i did but like, guess it never hit me properly til now)_ overall, it's not perfect and i guess it still has the things that make me feel a bit sad with modern hs stuff, but i'm really glad they got a lot right with eridan and didn't take the purely-woobie route _(which was pretty much never a possibility given the writing team but still)_ or the HE IS SCUM NAZI INCEL route _(which i feared with how i've seen a lot of prominent people in hs now act)_ !
I wasn't a fan of eridan in the comic but I really liked this route! The writers gave them an interesting conflict (re: which sorts of alternian prejudice eridan supports/rejects) and gave them some much needed depth while still preserving the character's original vibe
Coming back to this route always makes me unreasonably happy, I can’t even describe it. Eridan s always been my favorite, and seeing him finally have a good hand drawn to him, it’s impossible to watch this and not get a giant grin on my face
Yes, yes, *yes*. I don't have access to a computer and I've been meaning to give the Friendsims a look-see and gracious, I'm elated to see how fucking well balanced my fav character's is, especially after years in misinformed fandom. For one, the reader's dialogue isn't framed in a bias fashion towards Eridan (whereas a LARGE ass majority of the fandom will tell you they dislike him solely for fanon misconceptions). The reader treats him with the attitude that they give to all the other characters, and I *adore* that it resonates so well with actual fans of each individual character- and here is no exception! I couldn't help but keep chuckling at, in lack of better words, how much of a smug, conceded piece of pompous shit he is in the first ten or so minutes. Which is a very true reflection on his canon personality- due to his status and how it's drilled into him, (as it is with many highbloods from birth or I guess.. hatching) his superiority facade is flaunted, but it's also reflected on. The fact that Eridan admits that he feels the need to conceal his true character by being this gross caricature of snobbishness is speaks on levels to me. Him hamming up an incredibly idiotic conflict between him and Sollux shows us that he feels he *needs* to be this way- for one, due to him being used, comfortable even, with being hated due to his conjured haughtiness. And two, though he has incredibly impressive and commendable morals, (especially of how bullshit gender binary roles are used widely to oppress and control people by fitting them into restrictive and harmful stereotypes, even touching on how nonbinary folks have been apart of society since forever), no one would take him seriously as well.. he's racist as that one uncle at family gatherings we all try to avoid striking up convo with. Just because you advocate for one thing strongly doesn't redeem you for your other bigoted attitudes, especially one that is a large cultural + systematic factor that you fuel by hating a group of people from pure ignorance. To wrap this up, I love that after the reader gives it to Eridan how it is, he sincerely considers everything. He was genuinely understanding that his bigotries were making him the desperate, nearly socially inept tool he was and will find it in himself to change- not in the span of a few exchanges of dialogue, but over the course of serious self-reflection and learning. Eridan is a 13 year old born into privilege and wealth, and due to this, his unconscious tone is constantly degrading those underprivileged. TL;DR of this, your resident enby is delighted to see after eight years invested in a beloved series, genuine love go into their fav character's silly friend-date text based adventure. :'}💜
Well then, this was fun. One minute hating down on this fool, the next I'm lovving this portrayal and thinking, "this is going to be all sorts of psychoanalysingly sad"
They have the voice right, but I feel like the characterization was kind of everywhere. This route had its ups and downs, and I did like the ending, but I feel like fanon was injected to make them seem worse in the beginning. However, it does confirm the non-binary headcanon I've had for years, so it has that much at least!
Same! I always thought Eridan was into more Political Shenanigans, but I can see how that would be difficult to put into the narrative they set here for Pesterquest. Too much Sollux, not enough discussion over history books (which could make for interesting tie-in to Friendsim story).
@@VegaNorth It would've been interesting to see something like that! But nah, we got an Eridan who doubled down on the desperation and kinda removed a bunch of character which made me like them in the comic. Which... is how fanon has been treating em for years now. If it weren't for that ending which nailed EXACTLY what their problem was and how they could fix it, the route overall would've been 'meh-to-bad'. I would've definitely liked to see them feeding Feferi's lusus (Which I think they completely glossed over in the routes?), a nod to their friendship with Karkat to prove that they were all talk about blood stuff, or the fact that Eridan can definitely take 'No' for an answer.
@@ambrose4947 YES THEY DID GLOSS OVER THE LUSUS FEEDING BIT. And that was such a huge crux over the moiraillegiance. And I would have liked to see what the consequences would be if Fef's lusus was still fed by Eridan even if they weren't moirails anymore. Also, I miss Eridan ribbing Karkat over the romcoms. T_T Oh well...
didn't really acknowledge Eridan in homestuck so far, (I'm on act 5 part 2) but after watching this, I loved it. I feel like ppl treat him as one of the worst trolls. But I love him. And the gender thing WE STAN. I totally agree with it And I love the idea of Eridan wearing skirts! >:]
I see that almoust everytime when MSPA reader meets(not befriend, Eridian is the first violet blood MSPA reader befriended) a violet blood the seedweller woud want the MSPA reader attention and MSPA reader woud then be something like "bish u talking to me?" . Like remember in Nikhhe's route when there was that seedweller and he was something like :"Hey alien!" And MSPA reader looked around the room as if they weren't the only alien there.
I am a Derse dreamer Prince of Hope and a true Aquarius sign so I relate to Eridan WAY to much but also notice very important differences in character between me and him mainly I’m not a desperate narcissistic asshole.
i never expected to agree with eridian on anything especially not gender but im glad i had this one moment where i liked his character before he was racist seconds after
The first choice page has like 7 goddamn choices, man we are really in the driver's seat now getting completely shitfaced on all this choice-making like its a wily character select screen gone ballistic
little nitpick about the game over screen at 23:21. it fits the scene very well but i feel like there shouldnt be that much blood, mc’s arm would probably have been cauterized by the laser
I like this a lot, like, it's awesome that they let Eridan actually have hope in this. Plus considering what happens in Dirk Strider's Route. It's cool to know that this isn't just flushed away due to "canon", theres genuinely timelines with Eridans that aren't villains. I wish the same could be said for Gamzee :o(
@@MiscEris Hussie's reply was one word: "sure". I guess it's his way of saying "ok, why not" to theorists while still open to interpretation regarding gender-exclusivity variants. (Ridiculously late reply but, I personally don't like to base info on Tumblr theorists insisting their headcanons as everyone's canon.)
I’ve had the non-binary headcanon for Eridan for YEARS and as an non-binary non conforming individual it’s great to see that Headcanon basically be confirmed! I love this route I KNOW Eridan can be a better person if they try.
So, in the comic, troll movie names are usually incredibly long due to troll movies being around for such a long time. The fact that Shrek 2 has so concise of a name implies that Shrek 2 has existed for an incredible amount of time, and has remained such a cult classic that it’s still being shown in movie theaters to this day. Until we meet again!
@@smonkk8556 Like it was just sort of, put in there, like a puzzle piece that doesn't belong, sure that piece goes somewhere, but not right there you know?
Man. I used to really enjoy Homestuck. Eridan was my favorite troll. I don't know if I've just aged out of it or if the writing here is extremely subpar, but this sucks. The artist did a great job with his sprites though.

its because the woke people are very racist people.

really makes you think

Gender IS real. Male is male and female is female. There is no 3rd gender.

Someone said "Eridan Wwednesday" and now I can't stop thinking about it.
Every time I go through these routes I keep getting reminded that WOW they really are just kids holy shit. I’m happy with the way they took his route
He's somewhat adorable and fits his personality well
Eridan: *says something wholesome*
Nice
*after 2 seconds* "anywway lets talk about hemospectrum"
Ah shit here we go
Can we just acknowledge that it's likely Eridan likes Shrek 2 SOLELY because of the "I Need a Hero" rescue scene?
A TRUE MASTERPIECE.
okay actually i think my new headcanon for eridan is that he has a scottish accent because you know, shrek
dude of void This is just so perfect
Shrek has a Scottish accent? I thought it was Irish smH
I've had that headcanon for years. Him and Dualscar. Cronus also has one that is poorly covered up by his attempt at a greaser accent. Those are just mine though.

i will never understand the people that hate eridan:((
I like this a lot, like, it's awesome that they let Eridan actually have hope in this. Plus considering what happens in Dirk Strider's Route. It's cool to know that this isn't just flushed away due to "canon", theres genuinely timelines with Eridans that aren't villains. I wish the same could be said for Gamzee :o(
also shrek doesn't say "this is my swamp" in shrek 2
The irony that he say's gender roles serve no purpose. But he's assigned to a only male classpect.
I thought Hussie retconned the gender part of classpects
@@MiscEris Hussie's reply was one word: "sure". I guess it's his way of saying "ok, why not" to theorists while still open to interpretation regarding gender-exclusivity variants.
(Ridiculously late reply but, I personally don't like to base info on Tumblr theorists insisting their headcanons as everyone's canon.)
i love eridan sm
This is somehow surprisingly wholesome.

I’ve had the non-binary headcanon for Eridan for YEARS and as an non-binary non conforming individual it’s great to see that Headcanon basically be confirmed! I love this route I KNOW Eridan can be a better person if they try.
When the sunslammer remix started playing i lost it

Gender isn’t real but race superiority is 😞✌️
LMAOOOO THE FRUSTRATED POINTER AT 8:28 IS SO FUNNY
Seadwellers demanding money for the privilege of listening to their woes is the new funniest part of Alternia for me.
he was lowkey real for 11:35...
30:06 real smile :o
So, in the comic, troll movie names are usually incredibly long due to troll movies being around for such a long time.
The fact that Shrek 2 has so concise of a name implies that Shrek 2 has existed for an incredible amount of time, and has remained such a cult classic that it’s still being shown in movie theaters to this day.
Until we meet again!
I love the ending. Yes!
I cant help but feel the gender part was shoved in there.
feel then fool. you're weak and fragile
like its been an aspect of his character for literally almost a decade now
@@smonkk8556 Well it still could have been written better
@@smonkk8556 Like it was just sort of, put in there, like a puzzle piece that doesn't belong, sure that piece goes somewhere, but not right there you know?
@@smonkk8556 Also feel then fool is very threating, i will make sure to remember to use that.
Man. I used to really enjoy Homestuck. Eridan was my favorite troll. I don't know if I've just aged out of it or if the writing here is extremely subpar, but this sucks. The artist did a great job with his sprites though.
