- Another set of Homestuck frames set to music to make a poor man's animation, this time of Eridan's rampage. This is becoming a habit.
And hey, if there are any other Homestuck scenes you think could use the Shitty Windows Movie Maker treatment, let me know.

![Pesterquest: Eridan Ampora [NO COMMENTARY]](/img/n.gif)
That moment when your favorite troll kills your second and third favorite troll, and k.o' s your patron troll... It.. hurts...man.
+the purple cupcake wow XD
true
km gemini i hate the aquariums now
That moment when your Patron troll kills two other trolls and knocks out a third.
the purple cupcake FUUUUUUUU
Seriously. When I read those panels, I was yelling "KARKAT WHAT ARE YOU DOING ALL YOUR FRIENDS ARE BEING KILLED BY A LONELY HIPSTER"
And then Karkats face.
And then I practically fell on the floor laughing because I realized I had the exact same look on my face.
Maybe I never felt angery towards Eridan because I was just waiting the moment he would finally snap on the people who shitted on him by default. I was more surprised about him destroying the orb/killing Kanaya since he actually was ok with them both literally seconds before the violent spree
ikr that doesn't make sense
Late to the party, but it has to do with hope once again.
Notice when he destroys it it says "Hopesplode." Well as a Prince of Hope (Destroyer of hope) one of all the trolls hopes is that they can start society over once more with the matriorb, where as eridan finds it a fools errand and kills off all hope.
@@MrDementedninja also generally has to do with the fact that they were both about to start fighting regardless. Destroying the matriorb was a great way to antagonize Kanaya and make her lose her cool
@@neronthetyrant He could have tried not doing that.
Like, maybe tried to leave instead of doing that.
@@NonsenseFabricator With the only teleporter between them, and being stuck in an enclosed room... I don't see it happening
I feel bad to say this, but this is my favorite moment...
why
*No no, he's got a point.*
I personally love Eridan's character because it's incredibly tragic. No one saw this coming, and yet... In hindsight it makes perfect sense.
Eridan never apologized for being a monster
No one ever apologized to him for turning him into one:
Not Feferi, who had him do her dirty work (i.e. orphaning babies) and dumped him the second she no longer needed him
Not Vriska for ghosting him
Not Sollux for actively antagonizing him
Not Karkat, his one and only friend for ignoring him for about a month
Not Kanaya, whose literal job as a sylph is helping people in his state, for granting him unparalleled power just so she didn't have to listen to him and his problems.
Eridan is ignored and dismissed by everyone. Even the story ignores him (beta troll with the least appearances). His only face to face interaction throughout Hivebent was a deadly duel with Sollux
The signs were there all along, and yet. No one paid enough attention. Maybe he could have been stopped. And that is the most tragic part of it all.
This is so true, I love that someone Pull Up in simple terms the situation that Eridan pass it. I just wanted him to recive more love or attention like the other antagonist Trolls like Vriska or Gamzee
how does Feferi have more appearances than him what
it's just the look on Karkat's face at the end
XD
I believe Eridan did go Grimdark (If only for a moment). To go Grimdark, as far as my understanding goes, and in relation to SBURB, is the rejection and/or reversal of one's role (That is class and/or aspect). Eridan is the Prince of Hope, a Destroyer of Hope. The aspects go as follows: Space-Time
Breath-Blood
Light-Void
Life-Doom
Mind-Heart
Hope-Rage
Now, if a Hope player gives in to rage, as in Eridan's case, would they not go Grimdark as Rose, a light player, did when she tapped into the void?
Princes destroy things using their aspect. Eventually they have to bring about the destruction of their own aspect. Eridan didn't really give into rage. He simply lost hope that Bec Noir could be beaten. His new hope was that he could be spared if he made himself useful to Noir and to convince Feferi to come. In essence he destroyed hope using hope. He didn't exactly go grimdark. If anything he fully embraced his role.
if he had "reversed his role" he wouldve actually been the Sylph of Rage, which instead he somehow wouldve healed the rage inside of him and prevented this to happen :U ((i think at least))
That's a really good theory
The problem with this theory is that it was stated that Grimdarkness requires some sort of interaction with the Horrorterrors and to our knowledge that is something Eridan never had.
Potatosaurus Maybe the angles that he killed had the same effect? idk :P
Honestly, how Kanaya managed to kill Eridan is a hundred times more impressive in light of his Pesterquest route. We've always known that highbloods were more physically stronger and durable, but Sollux threw an entire MALL at the airship Eridan was on, and Eridan managed to dig himself out of the rubble with nothing but his pride broken. Now keep that scene in half and re-read the section where Kanaya cuts this guy in half with a chainsaw.
I actually doubt Kanaya would be able to kill Eridan before she became a Rainboe Drinker, even if she was able to get a swing of her chainsaw in this scene before she died (unless she hit the neck or something).
Alright, this is why Karkat didn't interfere, plus some other things.
Karkat is a mutant blood, correct? It is highly likely from the flash where he shoosh-papped Gamzee that his blood would have been lime if not for the mutation.
If that is true, then he would still be a lowblood, or at least a midblood. He still wouldn't stand a chance against Eridan, a highblood.
Lowbloods lack physical strength, but show psychic abilities. However, Karkat has shown neither, probably due to his mutation. Eridan would have the upper hand, with his strength along with his wand.
Karkat probably didn't fight because, if he died, they would lose a leader, and he believed that without someone holding everyone together, the game would be lost.
Kanaya attacked because we all know that she can be violent. In the lowblood-highblood terms that I go by (I don't use midblood), she would only be one caste away from highblood. I don't believe she's shown any psychic abilities, and we know how strong Terezi is from when she beat up Gamzee in ACT 6 (I know that Gamzee didn't fight back at first, but look at the damage she did. Even if Gamzee fought back, like he did after Aranea's powers stopped, Terezi could still probably win due to her wit. She didn't attack Gamzee after he started because she couldn't believe what she had done.) Terezi is only one caste above Kanaya. So imagine the damage Kanaya can do.
However, like I said before, Eridan had the upper hand. While Kanaya, Feferi, and Karkat would have to get in close range to attack him, he could simply attack with this long range wand, such as how he did with Sollux, Feferi, and Kanaya.
Plus, it is canon that Eridan and Karkat used to vent about feelings. Canonly, Eridan shared more with Karkat than he did Feferi. Eridan attacked Feferi and Kanaya out of self-defense. Karkat did not try to attack him, which is why Eridan basically ignored him. Also, we must not forget that Eridan and Karkat had a pact that was never discussed. That must mean something, right?
We all believe that Eridan went Grimdark right? Such as how Rose went grimdark when she lost her mother, and her light was gone. Well, Eridan is a Prince of Hope. He destroys hope. When he said there was no hope left, and he knew when to accept that, it would be possible for him to go grimdark.
Since he destroys hope, that is why he blew up the matriorb. That was one of their only canon hopes for prepopulating the trolls. When he destroyed it, the hope was gone. He destroyed the hope, showing that he truly is a Prince of Hope.
Sorry, I have more points to cover, but I'll just keep the discussion on this video.
Amen.
I always thought karkat was just too startled to fight back.
I mean
He looks so shocked
I’m sorry, but for the last paragraph it just kinda felt like “The poison. The poison of Kusko. The poison made specifically to kill Kusko. That poison.”
eridan didnt go grimdark, he just did his role as a prince of hope
Can I get a link to the actual game please
THAT MOMENT WHEN YOU REALIZE ERIADAN LOOKS GRIMDARK!!!
or shall i dare say grimgill
he is grimdark
Gilldark
He is grimdark at that time. Grimdark happens when a player switches roles. The opposite of hope is rage. Eridan is the Prince of Hope. Eridan gave into rage.
+Liam Wyatt Actually, Eridan's classpect is Prince of Hop . Princes destroy their aspect, and the troll's hope was the matriorb.
So basically, he was just embracing his classpect.
There's a difference between acting on impulse and being provoked. Eridan showed no intention of hurting Fef until she charged towards him with a trident. Although Fef was (maybe?) doing what she thought was the best thing it really just got her killed, kind of like how Nepeta probably knew Gamzee would kill her but tried to get some form of revenge anyway.
eridan be my spirit animal
he literally just killed two people what the fuck
@@ConSolo29 In self defense, and plus, most of the trolls killed one another anyways.
@@hades4474 He was going to try to join the person that literally just murdered all of their dreamselves. also yeah why the fuck would i like the other murder trolls either
@@ConSolo29 Boy, the class and aspect of eridan is literal destruction of hope, what did you expect?
@@gatosexo8488 classpects are descriptive, not prescriptive. at least, as much as you can get when everything is already written
To be honest this is just enjoyable for me. I mean, sure, my zodiac troll, Feferi, and my favourites were killed, but this also shows everyone has their reason for acting the way they do. In my opinion, Eridan only attacked in self defence, and destroying the matriorb was a cruel move, but does make sense considering his aspect.
Princes are destructive classes, and can easily give in to the temptation to destroy most likely, since I’m a Prince myself. Prince of Life to be more exact. As a Prince Of Hope, he either destroys his aspect or destroys through it, and here he destroys hope. Frankly I find that rather cool
And we all know how unstable he can be. He’s an ass, that I won’t deny, but he’s cool too! People loves Gamzee despite what he did, but hate Eridan, portraying him as a desperate troll for quadrants, and I just find that insulting.
So what if he has quadrant problems? It didn’t change the fact he was still badass as ever! That’s why I love him personally, his personality is rather fun, and he’s cool as heck
for me, eridan is the smartest and most interesting character
I honestly wish eridan didnt die. Also, just found out that he's my zodiac troll.
He didn't do this in self-defense, he had just admitted to wanting to betray the trolls and join Jack Noire.
When you spend your entire life antagonizing anyone that isn't Feferi, when you do zero effort to to connect with any of the trolls during the entire year-long session (or whatever), and you suddenly declare you're joining the enemy and you're taunting some guy after trying to convince his girlfriend to come with you, yeah you'll become the vilain no matter what you do. Eridan knew he had dug his own grave and decided to lie in it.
This, ugly story, and the Pokémon battle theme, are the most fitting songs for this, I rest my case
I dare you to name a character from Homestuck that hasn't died at least once.
Pegerine Mendicant
+Kommunist Megalope gamzee
+Cosmic “Nixe” Kitty Gamzee died in GAME OVER
RETRONT it's been stated that in no timeline has gamzee ever died
he just regrew like a hellish juggalo starfish
+Cosmic “Nixe” Kitty He actually did die in GAME OVER because it was a doomed timeline. He was immortal due to Lord English's "conditional mortality" effect, which means he can't die while he is still useful to English. He died in the doomed timeline since he had no use to English at that time.
Honestly this was inevitable the moment he lost his moirail to keep him tame.
THANK YOU! I'm tired of people saying he's forever alone...because he didn't go into the emo corner when Feferi rejected him. Sure he was upset, but he got over it in time.
My god karkat! MOVE!!!!!
He is lacking in strength and psychic ability because he is a mutant blood, and he didn't want the team to lose a leader, so he stayed put. He would have been slaughtered too if he had tried to help.
Karkat is weak compared to literal magic
If anything if karkat fought back it would’ve just been a suicidal move
I was like this D: the whole time but then I saw KK's face and I snort-laughed and fell out of my chair
Ok so Sollux challenged Eridan do a duel, it was a fair fight, so you can't blame him for blinding Sollux. Then Feferi probably thought Sollux was dead so she charged at him and he killed her in self defense. Then he destroyed the matriorb which I'll admit was a dick move, and then kanaya charged at him, he killed her in self defense. So the only thing you can really blame him for is destroying the matriorb and later on a new matriorb is made. So I don't see why so many people hate Eridan because of this. Eridan killed in self defense, gamzee wasn't in the right state of mind. But what really pisses me off is how no one holds anything against vriska. She paralyzed tavros, then harassed him for being paralyzed, she blinded terezi, she killed aradia and then she kills tavros. The only thing she did that has any justification at all is blinding terezi, this being because she caused vriska to lose an arm and sight in one eye, but still none of that would have happened if she didn't kill aradia. So in conclusion I think that Eridan and gamzee had justification for their actions. But vriska has little to no justification but almost no one holds this against her.
Eridan easily could have ran away and destroyed the transportalizer behind him. If you really want to use self defense as an excuse, the Vriska killing Tavros was in self defense. Tavros was charging at her with a lance. She could have easily just ignored him a left, but decided to end him.
Carcino Karkat no, eriidan challenge 2ollux iin a duel and 2ollux accepted hii2 challenge and 2ollux undere2tiimated eriidan, the rea2on that 2ollux lo2t. 2ollux talked about thii2 later wiith aradiia.
Carcino Karkat n
Carcino Karkat j
alvaro toledo - that was their first battle, on LOBAF, not this one. In this battle, Feferi made Sollux fight because she didn't want to fight Eridan herself. Eridan had no choice but to accept. This battle wasn't planned.
The other prince got a wand
Your shit is wrecked
this is why eridan is my favorite troll
Karkat just standing there like "WTF" XD
LOL'd at Karkat's face. If you think about it, he's been through a lot of shit. Like trying to calm down gamzee and seeing his friends getting getting killed by Eridan! Its like DAAAAMN!
Thus as the Prince of Hope he is equally at home Destroying because of Hope (destroying his alliances with his friends to join Jack) as destroying Hope itself (the scene above). Damn you Hussie and your magnificent brain.
Karkat's face kinda made the whole thing surreal.
0:43
"Tell me, what's the fuck, Eridan!!!???"
0:43 Karkat in the end is just like:
*B R U H*
0:38 eridan is definently grimdark
1.eridan knocked Sollux out, no intention of killing
2. Fef lunged at Eridan with intention of killing, probably thought sol died
3. Eridan kills Fef: self defense
4. Kanaya lunges at Eridan
5.eridan kills Kan: self defense
6. Karkat watches without trying to hurt Eridan: Is left alone.
Conclusion: it was self defense.
(just my view on what happened.)
I dot think Kanaya would have attacked if he didn't destroy the Matriorb, so really, I would say he instigated it.
+Socks McRocks I agree that he instigated it with Kanaya, but he is technically supposed to destroy hope, to live up to his Classpect, Prince Of Hope.
Agreed I feel tumblr corrupted eridan, in the beginning he was built up to be such a bad ass, and he still is! Just because he had trouble with quadrants doesn't mean that is all of his character. They make him seem like a such bad guy.
He blew up the Matriorb, the last hope of his entire species, without provocation which prompted Kanaya into attacking. He planed to sell out the other trolls to Bec Noir to save his own skin and only offered to save Feferi for selfish reasons which is why Sollux fought him, he had to. That also implies that he lied right to Kanaya's face when he said he wanted to help her hatch the Matriorb. He's a liar, a traitor, and a coward. Let's not forget that he's also a mass murdering racist, even if he was only doing what was expected of him and helping out Feferi, that's still pretty horrible. He deserved what he got.
Alright, I like Eridan as much as the next guy (probably a bit more), but he easily could have just transportalized out of there and then blasted the transportalizer. Or not blown up the last hope for his species, at the very least.
"For a Prince class to unlock his full potential, his aspect must first be destroyed." This theory may be true as for Eridan being the 'Prince of Hope' He would have to destroy hope first. And the same goes for Dirk being the 'Prince of Heart'.
This is definitely the scene that needed the [S] treatment in my opinion.
You cant blame him. Eridan used it for mostly self defense since a three of them were attacking him. Of course pissing Kanaya off like that was a asshome move tbh.
Knowing eridan, he'll go down in villain history period!!!
I love that my favorite troll kills a mid fuckboy, a boring girl, and a fish then does nothing
eridan is and always will be my fav
I have a theory. All this shit started because he tried Gamzee's faygo
LOL the face of karkat xD
Karkat's face at the end.... There are no words for that level of hilarity!!!!! xD HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Karkat, there must have 6een a 6eter alternative than just standing there...
Eridan is partially in the right for this situation I believe.
1. Sollux and Eridan have a duel, which Eridan wins.
2. Feferi charges at Eridan, he kills her in self defense.
3. Eridan destroys the matriorb.
4. Kanaya charges at Eridan. He kills her in self defense
5. Eridan leaves, not harming the remaining trolls.
Eridan could have simply hit Feferi's trident or Kanaya's chainsaw, or their legs which would have had less of a fatality rate. He did destroy the matriorb, which was a reasonable reason for Kanaya to get angry but not to kill him. After killing the attackers, he leaves. Not killing Karkat as he did not attack him directly.
Overall, I believe Eridan was in the wrong (joining Bec Noir, destroying the matriorb) in some cases, but in the right (Winning the duel, self defense for Feferi and Kanaya) for some cases.
Eridan is an actual sick homestuck character
Sick as in “cool” or sick as in “he’s terrible”?
@@timaeusTechnopathbro he just killed feferi and kanaya of course he means terrible smh
karkat: 👁👄👁
I was expecting karkat to go "WHAT THE FUUUCK!?" at the end
He was not "in murder mode" or "trigger happy." Feferi was attacking him. He defended himself. Was he supposed to let himself be stabbed with a trident? Especially by the girl who rejected him and left him, even though she knew he was hurt.
The problem was that he could've left Kanaya. However, to literally destroy all hope, he had to destroy the sphere didn't he... Which ultimately led to his death in his 3 way showdown with Vriska and Gamzee.
She attacked him because she thought he killed Sollux. Plus, she left him earlier in the comic because of the way he treated her.
Jacob Rainwater I was talking about kanaya, not Feferi in this lol.
Jacob Rainwater
If you are saying he was abusive to her he was not. She left because of his straining personality. She even confessed before leaving him the only reason she was his morail was because she believed he was a threat to land dwellers.
I was talking about how the fact that he had to destroy the matriorb in order to live up to his title.. do people seriously read my past comments?
0:02 No wonder he ditched the gun and gave it to Jade.
eridan: *knocks out sollux*
feferi: so you have chosen death?
I beg to differ. Their personalities are basically their sign. And your personality ties into how you react to things. Karkat's a grumpy cancer, Vriksa stings peope like a Scorpio, Sollux is bipolar, etc. And those personality traits would affect the way you handle things.
wtf is with people defending Eridan so much?? i honestly don't want to argue about fictional characters but yknow you're allowed to like characters even if they're not good people?? vriska is one of my favourite characters but i still know she's a 8ITCH
wow I commented something really similar than I saw this comment I forgot I made two years ago
*patpat his shoulder* Don't worry Karkat, everyone is there to support you ...
I just love karkats face at the end
Also, notice how every single one of them attacks him first? yeah.
ok but that music is very epic
He was a real one for this
Karkat's face=priceless
In which Eridan is still just a troll who was looking out for the one he loved :I
Karkat's face, words can't evven describe.
Me too. Karkat was in the middle of flipping his shit, then he found out Gamzee went berserk.
Eridan has poor eyesight because of his glasses. Feferi liked them so he kept his glasses. His plan was to kill Sollux and KO Feferi. Instead, it was the other way around. Don't hate Eridan, blame Feferi for her own death, as she was the one who told Eridan to keep the faulty glasses.
+Wander Universe Peppermint Butterfly Strider (Blueberries) HE KEPT THE GLASSES BECAUSE HE HAD RED FEELING FOR FEF, REMEMBER?
he still,,,, tried to attack them both,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, that doesn't justify it?????????
+shomarus why?????? do you???????? type????? like ,,,,,,, this??????????
luleuo because,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, i,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, can,,,,,,,,,,,,,, do,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, it?????????????????????????
no but seriously it's just a thing ive developed because ive seen other people type like it. kind of like you you start using words and idioms people close to you use. in any case, he still tried to attack sollux and feferi, which literally does not justify his actions at all. you can still like a character and acknowledge what they did is shitty (kind of like how my favourite character is aranea and she literally caused the death of like eight people solely out of the need to feel validated. still shitty).
good,,,,,, to,,,,,, know???????
i agree and disagree with your points. starting off, he didnt attack feferi, she attacked him. even though her death isnt justified and i can agree that eridan is far from innocent, i dont think i can just point fingers on eridan for her death. she was the one who went at him.
now with sollux, he did try to start a fight. i can agree that even as a source of self defense, he was intentionally trying to annoy sollux and 'hit on' feferi at the same time.
eridan was an ass to kanaya, breaking the matriorb. total dick move. cant defend him at all.
overall, i think it really comes down to how much self-defense you think should be allowed before called guilty. if you had a gun and someone with a trident was running at you at full speed with no where to run, id assume most would pull the trigger. (pls excuse any grammatical/spelling errors as it is quite late here lol
Poor Eridan. If someone were to just reach out to him, he wouldn't have had to instill his wrath on his ass hole, dirt scrapin "friends".
Adding onto a long conversation about where Eridan stands and if he's truly in the wrong, let me say this:
-Yes, Eridan planned to sell out the Trolls to someone he knew couldn't be taken down so easily - Jack. Though, yes, he offered a chance to Feferi to go with him and live. Also, Id like to make it clear that he offered her a chance NOT because of previous romantic/flushed feelings for her (he acknowledges she doesn't want that and accepts it) but most likely because of her royal standing and the potential he sees in her because of it.
-Eridan is not a racist. He doesn't judge by human race (seen in his interactions with Rose and him hinting at entering the black quadrant with her) and I have no idea of why people label him as such. Though he does discriminate by caste, showing a dislike of land-dwelling Trolls - but for good reason. He was angry because of them polluting his ocean home with trash. That isn't to say his hate is 100% justified. The unjustified part is visible with Trolls that are very, very low on the Hemospectrum like Sollux is. I back this up by presenting to you his black relationship with Vriska (that he dearly misses), and his statements about how Karkat and Kanaya (a anonymous bloodtype and a mid-class bloodtype) are the two Trolls he'd rather not kill. He even opens up to Karkat and Kanaya more than even when he was Feferi's moirail.
-Eridan is not a whiny boy-child. Sure, he gets a little desperate when asking Nepeta, a troll he didn't even know the name of and had no red/romantic feelings for, be his Matesprit. But that was once. He doesn't cry over it and he doesn't cry over his unfortunate relationship status. The one thing he pouts over is being lonely, which even I do occasionally. And please, think back to around his first introduction. Eridan is powerful, devoted, a bit of a history and weapons nerd (but what intelligent, teenage boy isn't?) and he gets reasonably lonely. Also, he does not lament over being rejected Feferi. He accepted it a little bit after he's told she doesn't feel that way.
-Eridan attacked Sollux without intentions to kill him, only to show Sollux that he is strong, and not over-estimating himself. This was not self-defense but him showing off and proving a point. And Feferi most likely attacked Eridan because she thought Sollux had died. Eridan didn't meant to kill Feferi, he thinks highly of her and did antagonize over her death later on. But when she attacked him, what he felt was a most likely anger, hurt, and betrayal. The Troll he had been rather kind to is attacking him (and I believe he was unaware that Feferi presumed Sollux dead), so Eridan acted on his emotions without caring about or knowing the consequences of that. So, his response to Feferi's attack wasn't exactly self-defense. He didn't strike to ensure his safety - he wasn't really thinking to do anything at all, like a child throwing a temper tantrum.
-Then, Eridan exploded the Matriorb. I assume this was a bout of blind rage he was experiencing, or just finding the motivation to do what he was going to originally (which may be why he wanted in on whatever Kanaya was doing with it). I'm not sure on his motive, though I'm leaning to the first one because of his conversation with Feferi (where he doesn't debunk Feferi's assumptions that Princes aren't a destroyer class, implying he wasn't aware of it and wasn't knowingly living up to his Classpect). Anyway, Kanaya is rightfully angry and attacks. Eridan, in that angry, hurt, mind-muddled state of his, straight-up killed Kanaya. The one land-dweller he outright said he'd never kill. This kind of confirms he wasn't in his right mind, as he really meant those words.
So, by the way, the "Eridan is not a whiny child" is actually relevant. It clears up a bit of his actual, NOT-manufactured-by-the-fandom/Tumblr personality.
Anyway, here is some Eridan word vomit. Enjoy and make your decisions.
Oh, and might I add that Eridan clearly goes Grimdark? He inverts from the Prince of Hope to the Sylph of Rage - which makes perfect sense. He goes into a blind rage and just slaughters. He induces a sense of Rage into Feferi and Kanaya, very vaguely "Healing with Rage".
jeez, whats with people and writing essays in the comments section?
ED wanted Fef to join him. But she wouldn't. He was desperate for her safty and thought that was the only way. His action's aren't justified, but areunderstandable. He opened his heart to someone and as an Aquarius I can say that it's hard to do with our emotional walls. At the end the Prince of Hope had lost hope. And that's the one thing that us Aquarian's need. Hope. Without it we are desperate with no reason left to even live. Wehardly ever adress emotions and when we do we get overwhelemed
I never really noticed that it looked like Eridan went Grimdark for a while there.
I started to cry. Until I saw Karkat's face.
Karkats face gets me every time omg
LETS GO ERIDANNNN 🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣
I don’t get why people claim Eridan killed Feferi and Kanaya because of romantic rejection. He killed them because they were trying to attack him (albeit the reason why is because he wanted to betray them and he knocked out Sollux because he was trying to stop him). He doesn’t hurt Karkat, who he totally could have since Karkat was just standing there unarmed. Karkat outright rejected his red advances in the past, as seen in a memo. But Eridan doesn’t hurt Karkat. I mean, you can hate Eridan all you want. But saying he killed because he was jealous/rejected is false. Eridan killed them because they attacked him.
I can't get enough of Karkat's face XD
Aw...Eridan needs a big hug...We're so much alike...NEED ATTENTION
eri did nothin wwrong
I blame Gamzee for Eridan's rampage and death.
Even at the very end he care about Fef enough to ask her to join him. I really dislike how fef treated him. He slaved hard and long killing trolls and lucuses just to feed her damn lucus and keep her happy, then when the game starts she is all like "Whale since my lucus died and you can't kill trolls anymore I have no use for you. GUB! GUB! GUB! GUB! }8D"
Karkat needs a hug now
In which Eridan is a heartbroken fool who thought by switching sides he could protect Feferi the only person he ever loved. But of course she didn't love him back. And pushed him away fro Sollux. And then Sollux started a fight. In Eridan, out of despiration and greif, snapped.
Re-watch it again. Fef charged at him with her weapon, he hadn't provoked her at all. Kanaya was also thinking about attacking him, and also eventually did.
Don't forget that Sollux pretty much bought this on as he was the one to wind Eridan up to this point, and you could blame some of what happened here on Eridan's uncontrollable anger that resulted.
He really did want to do his best, he asked Fef to join him in joining Jack because that's what he believed was best - he was just misguided.
I don't know how I still like Eridan even after he "killed" my favorite character.
ah yes the scene were eridan goes fucking bat shit crazy and kills three people
And Karkat is just :O all the time.........
I know its 12 years too late but did anyone ever actually think Eridan was weak? this dude bodied 3 classpects in a ROW solo without exerting any actual effort. Except for maybe sollux.
Imagine what could have happened if he used that power to have fought back Jack for a few more sweeps.
As much as I would hate Eridanus, I can't help but agree that he died too soon. In fact, his death would have been more appropriate at the end of the chapter, and that he died because of the Cascade or at the hands of Gamzi. So he would have gotten much more time.
Me:takes off backpack bc my shoulders need a rest everyone else skydiving: 0:44
@Wilfrezsasha I'm sorry, but that's stupid. Ignoring Kanaya's 'perfection', Eridan had been trying to -kill- everyone before SGRUB even started. He undermined himself by ostracizing everyone except Feferi. Hell, he made his SGRUB session -harder on himself- by killing his consorts because they were just there. Everything he had thrown at him was his own fault. And even if Kanaya didn't come along (I don't buy that she was really dead), someone would have had to kill him. He was on a RAMPAGE.
Everyone's trying to justify Eridan's actions. Here's the facts kiddos. He's a kid. He was put in a stressful situation and snapped. It's not his fault, he just wasn't strong enough to deal with being abandoned my his moirail and friends, losing their final reward, and cowering as they wait for Jack to find them. And he may have gone grimdark, but that doesn't change the fact that he _did_ willingly kill Feferi and Kanaya and attempt to kill Sollux, as well as crushing his race's future on a whim. Rationalize it all you want, but that doesn't change his actions.
'iT wAs SeLf DeFeNsE!!!!!!!!'

Really though, I've never gotten this argument. I like Eridan but he's literally a parody of 'nice guys' and also is kind of a shitty person, but he does a great job at it! So he's a good character. I love reading his scenes with Karkat. Anyway, they didn't attack for no reason. He was going to go and join Jack, which was a fucking stupid idea and would get them all killed (similar to how Vriska going to fight him would also get them all killed). They HAD to stop him physically since he wouldn't listen. He also came up to Feferi telling him she was also going to join Jack with him (also even if Jack let them join him, which he wouldn't, everyone else would still end up dead). He killed them because they didn't want to join the bad guys and they were trying to stop him from getting all their friends killed. In what world is that self defense?
eridan stans are fucking delusionals
@@unoriginal_name4576 But but but Sollux blind and Feferi try to kill him thinking he is dead? My bb Eridan do nothing wrone :(
But but but Vrsika bullied tvros and killed him and ardaia and gamazee went fukn psycho why people defend them too?? :(
Electrical
AND TO THIS DAY, ERIDAN HAS NEVER FILLED A BUCKET.
He didnt only do it for self defense, or destroying hope, he just wasnt thinking when he killed her, and he was veryveryvery mad.
Karkat's face at the end was priceless xD
as much as i like sol, eridan will always be my favourite troll (he's my zodiac troll too) ovo
Oh gog, we're reversed
Apparently, Karkat isn't even worth disposing of.
That moment when your patron troll and zodiac troll are both purple murderers
And that was the day Eridan became a badass.
That moment where the troll you liked knock out one of your favourites, kills your patron, and then “kills” your other liked one.
@redstrawsii I agree that Eridan was definitely in the wrong, and even if everyone else had good reasons for rejecting him, he truly snapped after Feferi abandoned him too, which gives some amount of blame to everyone else since I get the feeling he would have given his all to his matesprit if anyone had actually accepted him. The chastity modus additionally demanded Kanaya take out the Matriorb, therefore hinting that Eridan was destined to destroy it. I just pity Eridan more than I do Kanaya.
In which Eridan is still a backstabbing traitor who had his death justly deserved.
PURPLE GUY?!
lol everyone in the comments trying to defend Eridan by claiming self-defense. Listen up:
1. Eridan purposely aggravated and antagonised Sollux, manipulating him into a rematch, unsatisfied with the results of their previous battle and wallowing in self-pity over the fact that Feferi turned down his flushed feelings and eventually found an interest in Sollux instead.
1a. Feferi isn't at fault for “emotionally damaging” poor fish Hitler. She truly wasn't satisfied with their moirallegiance and rightly refused his red advances, being honest and as gentle as possible when expressing her disinterest. It's not right in the real world for a man to lothe and murder a woman for refusing to date him, same rule applies to horned alien children.
2. Feferi did attack Eridan, but with GOOD CAUSE! She, possibly, believed that he had killed Sollux over his petty bullshit, and even if she knew he'd only been knocked unconscious, she'd still be reasonably pissed that he walked over to the horn pile looking for a fight. He didn't have to kill her to defend himself. And it wasn't accidental, he had no intention of letting her live. Had he simply acted in the moment, he would've likely been shocked by what he'd done, or have shown anything other than grim determination to end her life.
3. Kanaya attacked on account of the fact that he MURDERED SOMEONE IN FRONT OF HER! Again, not self-defense, and, again, not a necessary death. If a killer shoots an officer for trying to apprehend him, we'd classify that as murder, not a defensive action. Kanaya had to put a stop to his rampage and avenge/protect the two he attacked, or, more likely, she was simply prepared to defend herself, considering the fact that her chainsaw was kept in her lipstick at the moment: she wasn't engaging him just yet, just having her weapon at the ready. She was waiting for his next move, but as Eridan is a dick, he destroyed the matriorb to enrage her into action, then killed her.
I'm not saying you cannot like Eridan as a character, but you cannot justify his actions or overlook them to claim him as innocent. Jack Noir is one of my favorite characters, the one I found most entertaining. I do not defend his destructive rampages or ignore the lives he took; in fact, the murders he committed in [S] Cascade disgusted me and crushed my very soul. But damn is he a good character and a hilarious grumpy doggo. He has a massive body count, and he's an asshole, but he is a character I enjoy despite that, and if you can look past Eridan’s genocidal dickish tendencies (which kinda in his defense are beyond his control in a way. He was destined to be a lonely sad sack of shit, it's in his blood.) then I am glad you favor him. We have our own opinions, but don't define his actions as something other than flat out, cold blooded, serial murder.
Winona Sebelist I believe his killing of feferi was self defense, yes he knocked out sollux making feferi lunge at him but what would you do if someone lunged at you with a trident? I believe him attacking feferi was justified,sollux and him were dueling,he wouldn't wanna lose.Sollux's k.o was also justified,although him attacking kanaya was not justified
Dude, Feferi literally used Eridan to feed his lusus, being with him because she thought he was a threat and NOT being honest about it until the WORST moment posible, throwing him away like a broken toy, breaking his spirit and heart.
Then he was forced to get out of his hive to his planet of Wrath and Angels, an uncolor and lonely place, except for the angels that weren't exactly nice, Phrofeticing the ''Lord Of All Angels'' that he had to serve to survive (Probably talking about Lord English) he obviously didn't take it well. ¡Awesome, a lot of stressful shit! (And also, in Alternia killing people is normal, is not the Earth).
Judging that the only persons that spoke to him were Kanaya And Karkat, i'm not surprised that he feel so alienated to the team, like Dr.Scratch said ''A vengeful boy in a path of nihilism''.
Eridan had reasons to be like he was and do what he did, ¿What would you do if the person you love the most use you like a fucking tool and dump you away like nothing? ¿Wouldn't you feel devastated?.
PD: Sorry for the bad english.
PD2: Yes, i know this is an old comment, but still.
@@motivated2473 dude, fef was using him? yes, she was, but they were true moirails and she only left him because he was basically a fascist that wanted to kill all land dwellers. Even in the worst case scenario, one that fef was only using him and then dumped him, he still CANNOT kill her!!!! this js bullshit!!!!!! a man cant kill a woman because she dumped him!!!!! As you said, he killed the only one who spoke to him and even helped him with the creation of his wand. The angels were supposed to be nice, they were only attacking him because he killed one, then the whole land turned against him.
@@rhaening Didn't say he was right to do what he did, i'm saying that everyone should have seen it coming for all the things he's been through in the game. Being manipulated by Feferi because of his Genocide Tendencies (Which he has due to being a High-Blood), being practically alone the whole time in the Game (Since, you know,, being in la Society where killing is completely normal for a High-Blood, he isn't exactly good at social interaction), He simply was going to explode sooner or later, and of course, nobody tried to do anything, more than manipulate him, using him and ignoring him (Except for Karkay i guess).
They never where true Moirails, since Fef never felt pale for Eridan whatsoever, she simply was with him so she can keep him from killing al Land-dwellers. When she didn't have to stick around him, she quit baby-sitting him and left to Sollux lips... If you think about it, that's not really something Eridan would manage well.
As for the Angels, they looked really creepy, so... I really can't blame him for firing first.
@@motivated2473 she and sollux were moirails and she was in her right to go for anyone she wanted? And yes, they were true moirails, she even went for him in s remember. Being obvious doesnt make his actions any better
or a person who destroys stuff through their element, but Eridan lived up to the former, and it is Sgrub for the trolls
I can see why everyone hates him, but you should really try to look into both sides of the story. First, Eridan was dumped by Feferi, one of his closest friends, who was also someone he loved, which left him devastated. Later, when he gets into the medium, no one helps him. No one bothered coming over to his planet because everyone was scared of the angles and him (his fault though because the angels were actually supposed to help him but he was deluded with the fact that they were his enemies.)
Watch out, we got a badass over here.
To be fare everybody kinda forced eridan into this darkness
