This just reminds me what a sweetheart Equius is. His obedience thing/the STRENGTH thing got played up so much as a joke that it's sort of all he gets remembered for, and we also don't see him have many conversations. But we know because of his relationship with Nepeta - and now we know seeing him talk to Reader for so long - that despite his overwhelming STRENGTH he has poise and vulnerability. His reaction of "I would never kill you," offering f or Reader to come in and take a seat almost immediately, Aurthoror welcoming too. We've seen the other trolls give Reader a lot more pushback but Equius is so POLITE. I love him. Nepeta's route will have a meowrails reunion or there will be blood
I'll be honest I never did like Equius' schtick of "always be obedient to the hemospectrum" and his command/be commanded thing. But looking at it now it seems like he did so to try and forge an identity for himself, and someone questioning the hemospectrum is questioning him as a person. That hit me a bit, and hopefully this route helps him get a new perspective on this. Also these kids better have a happy ending after all this. I'm saying they better not all die due to doomed timeline shit. They better live or I'm rioting. (Probably too much to hope for an "everyone lives" timeline but eh, I can dream.)
DeathlyDeer Actually, its not too much to hope for. Remember John’s adventure through canon? MSPAR can alter things without making a doomed timeline, so these characters might actually have a happy ending!
Him desiring to be commanded/command others is playing true to his character though. I speculate that this is a theme with void players, and "desiring something to fill it", kind of like black holes and the symbol on their shirt. Also, Equius is on a weird rank in society. Typically people of his blood color would be commanded by those of Gamzee's, and would desire to command all those underneath him. So since he's not at the top, but very far from the bottom, he needs that structure to validate his worldview.
@@CosmosGatito the void player hole to fill feels rlly right tbh?? pretty sure horuss said rufioh filled a void in him or something similar, and roxy's alcoholism could be seen as her trying to fill the void of her loneliness w alcohol. i never thought of that :0
also he’s kind of a classic case of “child who has been exposed to sexual stuff since a young age because of the internet and it has now permanently messed up their approach to sexuality”
all the other routes are really wild but this one just feels so genuine. I have the relatively unpopular opinion of absolutely loving equius (one of my favorite characters, but the striders take the top) and god this route was perfect.
wild how when i first read hs years ago and didn't really pay much attention to equius as a character and just thought his hemospectrum thing was weird at best and 😬 at worst, and now watching his route i'm like... holy shit. i relate so much to the "if i don't know the 'rules' for this interaction i'll panic bc then how will i know if i'm doing it 'right'", the "i follow all the rules and just forget which ones i actually agree with and which ones i just don't know how to ignore" and like. HHHHH equius baby i'm so sorry about the things i said about you when i was thirteen
I have the idea that the troll driving that scuttlebuggy was of higher blood than Equius and that he saw a blur of the richly decorated vehicle, enough to make out that detail, before passing out. If this accident got some public attention it was still covered up. Brought into the void.
EQUIUS BBY OH MY GOG. I love him suddenly ;;~;; . This was so good. AND I HECKIN FLIPPED WHEN THEY USED INDIGO HEIR. IT'S SO GOOD. AND IT ALSO HAS AN UNDERLYING CREEPINESS WITH THE HIDDEN MORSE CODE (it translators to SOS like GOSH)
I mean it makes sense to his character, not getting anything new, not getting anything personal for himself. Just tacking on something that fits, because that's basically what his character does.
i love the amount of jacked horse posters on his wall. does he find them attractive? are they there simply to show off? who knows. there are like 7. one does not need that many buff horse posters
So… Is the weird triple-overlay multiple-choice-past thing just a flimsy excuse for the writers to not have to commit to canon the real reason his horn is broken?

Nepeta's route will have a meowrails reunion or there will be blood
ngl there is something about his sprite that’s just 👌
I'm almost convinced the unknown guy at the end of the hallway is just Hussie T-posing on us.
Oh yes the best homestuck character
EQUIUS WORKING UP THE NERVE TO TOUCH YOU IN FEAR OF HURTING HIS NEW FRIEND 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Man the MC better zap Nepeta to Equius' hive in her good route or I'm RIOTING.
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING
He did
OP HE DID AND EQUIUS IS JUST AS ECSTATIC AS NEPETA IS WHEN THEY SEE EACH OTHER!
Fernando Jose WISH FRICKING GRANTED

Expectations would not be met...

EQUIUS PESTERQUEST EQUIUS PESTERQUEST EQUIUS PESTERQUEST
HOLY SHIT WE SEE MC TYPE IN CANON
LIKE I KNOW THEY HAVE A TWITTER ACCOUNT THAT WE CAN SEE BUT STILL ITS GOOD TO HAVE IT PROVEN

Equius' hive is like the most uncomfortable version of a homoerotic heaven
*comfortable
Therapist: Non broken horn equius isn't real, he can't hurt you
Non broken horn equius: 24:25
you think thats 8ad? you should see gamzee without make up.
I diagnose Equius with baby disease. The cure is a kiss on the head.
BABY EQUIUS IS MY EVERYTHING I LIVE FOR HIM ODIJASOIDJASOIDJAS
HERE HE IS. THE SWEATY BUFF BOI.
I love his good route. And his sprites look beautyfull. But i am scared to wach the bad endings.
karkat seems to talk about you like he would the mayor! maybe theres some sort of connection
all the other routes are really wild but this one just feels so genuine. I have the relatively unpopular opinion of absolutely loving equius (one of my favorite characters, but the striders take the top) and god this route was perfect.
sensing you like characters w shades lol
I will never get over him saying "you. will. try. again." He just wanted to see his meowrail so badly :'(( my poor equius baby

HHHHH equius baby i'm so sorry about the things i said about you when i was thirteen
Inside of you there a two people. One wants to command the other wants to be commanded,you are equius.
You will now begin the friendship process
This is the epilouges
This is where it all ends
This is where no SBURB session existed
a babie,,,
When Karkat says “the realest friend” it made me very happy feely
I just realized how much hot equis is
Yes
i dont even get what “hot” means but that definitely comes close
HELPWJEJFHGHAH
ok but ur not wrong tbh......
HE TWIRLS HIS FUCKING HAIR shit thats cute
I have such a soft spot for Equius, mainly because he's my grandma's zodiac troll
17:33 DOES THAT MEAN NEPETA HAS A PQ ROUTE TOO???? OH MY GOD TPOSING MAN PREVENTS SPOILERS
Everyone gets a pq route! I hope they finally meet in her route!
OF COURSE SHE DOES :D
Coffee Jaytee even Caliborn (please let us have a route for the cherubs)
well she will at somepoint
GAMER EQUIUS REAL
he's baby...
17:35 OH FUCK THAT IS DIRK THAT IS DIRK THAT IS HIS EXACT WAY OF TYPING AND HIS EXACT TONE OF VOICE FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCKFUCKFUCICUC
ok I have to say I enjoyed equius' route way more than vriska's
I have the idea that the troll driving that scuttlebuggy was of higher blood than Equius and that he saw a blur of the richly decorated vehicle, enough to make out that detail, before passing out. If this accident got some public attention it was still covered up. Brought into the void.
When the reader decides to teleport "home" my first thought was that tower. Gosh when they actually teleported there I was so fucking happy.
EQUIUS BBY OH MY GOG. I love him suddenly ;;~;; . This was so good. AND I HECKIN FLIPPED WHEN THEY USED INDIGO HEIR. IT'S SO GOOD. AND IT ALSO HAS AN UNDERLYING CREEPINESS WITH THE HIDDEN MORSE CODE (it translators to SOS like GOSH)
"A low, menacing sound rumbles through him, you can feel it in your teeth. Holy shit he's terrifying."
Bros a crocodile my GOD I love him
I WASN'T EXPECTING ARTHOUR TO LOOK LOWKEY ATTRACTIVE??? IT HAS TO BE THE MUSTACHE! 👀👀
He always have a moustache
@@diegoolivares1081 I like it
caught in 4k
IKR?
IT'S MY BOY
This song has existed for a long time, it was reused here.
Yeah it's kinda old, considering that this was also used for Horuss.
Interesting that Equius's theme *lacks* any changes.
@@CosmosGatito
Yeah and it's sad. I want a new Equius song.
I mean it makes sense to his character, not getting anything new, not getting anything personal for himself. Just tacking on something that fits, because that's basically what his character does.
i love the amount of jacked horse posters on his wall. does he find them attractive? are they there simply to show off? who knows. there are like 7. one does not need that many buff horse posters
I imagine it’s actually viewed as some sort of fine arts and apart of culture? And he would view human art the same as we view that
Ok his bad endings aren't all that bad accualy.
Don't you just get punched out?
EWUIUS HAS A GAMER CHAIR AND HOOF LIGHTS EQUIUS HAS A GAMER CHAIR AND HOOF LIGHTS EQUIPUS HAS
MC THINKS OF TYZIAS'S HIVE AS HOME OH MY GOD SOBBING, ITS BEEN LIKE THREE YEARS BUT I RECOGNIZED IT IMMEDIATELY
Watch me saying "B A B Y" for 27:42 minutes at a screen with a sweaty troll
comment section:
blitz: you are my 8itch
exactly! hehe
i cannot believe that this made me care about equius
20:12 i read 4672 and in my head i was like whoaa,, that could relate to a page number so i went and looked, disappointed t-t
WAIT BRUUH does this mean all this time Equius had a rough voice and not soft like everyone thought
BABY
Grub Equius looks very fucking pissed for some reason????
*I FUCKING LOVE MY PATRON TROLL*
his hair fresh as fuck god damn
i cant wait for him to meet nepeta!!
i am identifying myself too much with equius
should i be worried
So… Is the weird triple-overlay multiple-choice-past thing just a flimsy excuse for the writers to not have to commit to canon the real reason his horn is broken?
HE GOOD BOY
I missed him
who's theme is that i know it ain't equius's wtf it's someone from friendsim ain't it? Or am i just going crazy?
It's indigo heir from coloUrs and mayhem
indigo heir from colors and mayhem universe A
@@smonkk8556 Yeah I realized that about like, 10 minutes in. I made a comment to myself about it, idk why it didn't save? oh well ig lmao
what the fuck it sounds like this ua-cam.com/video/VFR6LtEKBVY/v-deo.html
I never cared much for equius
But I'll see what I think after this
m8... Are they even making more music or remixes or what? Come on! I heard that song already!
Am I the only one that noticed the background from night at the 100dseum
Who stole his nose
Good to see Aurthour is as much a body horror abomination as usual.
Wait
Equius in a rap battle
