![[Homestuck - AlterniaBound] Eridan the Drama Queen](/img/n.gif)
PSSSST. I have a secret for everyone that's tuning into this video. Come a little closer. It's such a valued secret, it defies belief. It'll rattle you to your very core. A little closer. A little - there we go. Here it is:
**inhales**
There are other videos on my channel.
Other Homestuck videos, in fact. That have a very similar style to this one. And also cover similar topics. And even some that, while they don't cover Homestuck explicitly, might just be worth checking out anyways.
Yeah. That's a pretty good secret, ISN'T IT?
Don't mind the smell, I've just been drinking heavily this morning.
Wh - what, no! Don't run away! No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Damn you, reality! Why do you always have to ruin everything!
**knocks over a table**
It's always like this! You're always like this! Uh -
**buckles over and vomits**
Blorrrrrrgh! Ugh, kaff, kaff -
**falls down into vomit**
Ah! Shit! Shit!
**spins around in vomit, spreading it over clothes**
I've - FUCKING had it! I am fed up with this world!
**starts glowing**
**levitates off of the ground**
**shoots into space**

Not the video the fandom deserves, but the one it needs.
This video is honestly so underappreciated😰
I really can't discern how serious you are about all of this but damn if it isn't eloquent and funny throughout.
Internet Xxx_Pl0r3r_xxX I think this video is a shitpost. The funniest part is that Eridan would probably make this same exact video, but completely seriously.
lol a 10min Eridan video in 2019 I love it thank you
i’m not going to lie. if you didn’t read homestuck when you were younger you missed out. i could go on about the themes of growing up and the complexity of the plot but i won’t. anyway. it was fun in middle school and i still love it against all better judgement.
Jennifer Duncan you should go on about the themes of growing up and the complexity of the plot
Homestuck’s themes are actually pretty incredible. I’ve legitimately been a little obsessed with the aspect wheel over the past couple months. I never realized until recently just how enlightening it can be on a personal level, and it’s cool to see an “elemental” system made of such unique pieces.
Homestuck might be a meme, but it’s got way more profound and moving stuff than people give it credit for.
Dude I only joined the fandom around the end of the hiatus between acts 6 and 7, but holy shit has it defined me as a person since then
I joined last year, heard ab it like 4 or 5 years prior ;^;
@@Blue-bn3ze yeah same jadhjs, I think the first time I heard about it was in 7th grade, cus my friend was really into it, but I might have actually known about it before that cus I mean, the internet lmao
Eridan is the chad omega, thank you for blessing me with this info.
@KEELY ENGLISH yyeeah lmao (also likewise calder pfp :>)
You mean alpha or should i be scared?
@@CaribouGirlMeat eridan is such a chad he created a new universe
He is Simp prime.
PFFT!!! LOL, eridan, a Chad??? Are you high?
That's a pretty interesting take on Eridan: despite being debatable, one can really appreciate many of the points you made. I feel the verbiage employed was humorous, didactical and denotes the man of science you strive to be. Hope you'll consider developing your thoughts (that you surely must have) about other characters in more videos made with the same seriousness.
This should really be more popular.
Edoardo Caproni Wow imagine commenting on your own comment to make it more popular

We all know in our hearts that the only reason Vriska got a redemption arc and Eridan didn't was cause Hussie really likes blue alien chicks.
And the worst part? This is canon, no seriously wasn't there a time where Hussie literally asks vriska in marriage in the story?

People not getting this is a joke is actually hysterical
what do you mean joke
after the most recent video i am 100% sure this is not a joke
its both a joke and fairly serious, he makes a lot of strong arguments and an equal amount of crackhead jokes
@@philtrash2303 It's kind of hard to follow these videos, tbh. Mixing relatively serious points with talking about how alternia is actually good as a joke (hopefully) gets kind of confusing.
Don't forget the part where he's killed off really early and has no plot relevance afterwards.
That's the majority of the trolls tbf :/
And this is why Erisolsprite lives rent free in my think pan; he takes all of this mans and makes him self-loathing and green, two incredibly relatable things for the common person. Fuck yeah.
Is this Eridan propaganda...in 2019???
Am I being brainwashed into loving Eridan??
Yes.
The physical manifestation of weirdness Well i’m perfectly fine with that
ooga shaka ooga shaka ooga ooga ooga shaka

your not being brainwash when its a scientific fact that eridan is the best character

Finally, an objectively correct assessment on the best troll in Homestuck. Thanks, king.
"where the blood itself is gay"
“Life? Thanks but I’m already alive.”
8:25 Damn. No Caliborn in your honorable mentions of morally righteous characters?
He writes fanfiction about other people, how morally righteous can he be
@@ThatOneRandomSteve it's called visual poetry, thank you very much. Athough,
to be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Homosuck. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Caliborn's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from "More How To Draw Manga Vol. 1 The Basics Of Character Design", for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Homosuck truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Caliborn's existencial catchphrase "I want to play a game," which itself is a cryptic reference to the horror movie "Saw" I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Andrew Hussie's genius unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Homosuck tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the whore's eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
you gotta leave some surprises
This sir, is my new bible.
Ok your not wrong
I actually started reading homestuck because of the song 'ugly story'
Same
legit i just read it to see what Eridan was like since i'm an Aquarius
my impatient ass skipped all the way to the trolls just so i could admire him
@@probablydeadinside7877 same i read chapter 5 before everything else and i was confused because i only had alternia world building knowledge
"And he has the best music in the series -- just listen"
**Plays Cronus's theme**
I mean, it’s still technically Eridan’s theme, as it’s called “Violet Prince”. Hussie sometimes reappropriates songs made for specific characters in the Flashes, like how “Time on my Side” and “Unite Synchronization” were written for Dave but were given to Dirk in-comic.
@@literallyn01imp0rtant I guess? Imo, where a song gets used in the end matters a lot more than what it was originally made for. (Plus, due to being a seadweller, Cronus is technically royalty, so. Though his class is a Bard, among the trolls he'd still be seen as a prince. I'll concede it does work better as a title for Eridan, but, that's how the dice fell).
Fantastic. Eridan best character
ah yes, a fellow eridan fan, i see you're a man of taste as well
wtf i love eridan now
Eridan destroys his friends(?) with facts and logic
more like eridan destroys his friends with his own actions, leaving him cold and alone HA GOTTEM
i already lovved eridan but this made my mind
this made me like him even more
I hate that this is actually what’s convinced me to finally read Homestuck
Edit: Also don’t mind me, just bookmarking 7:21 for myself
WHAT'S THE SONG NAME
@@DandyDevil1806 Album: "colours and mayhem Universe A"
Song: "Violet Prince"
It worked. I read it. ARE YOU HAPPY?!?!? NOW I SIMP FOR A FISH. A FISH.
the fact i know exactly the con WHERE those dabbing homestucks are at makes me both want to laugh and pass away
pretentious sword art online is the best description of sburb ive ever heard
Local Eridan kinnie convinces people to dive into homestuck
its not that homestuck sucks, its that when most of us in the fandom finally trudge through the 8,000 page melting pot of memery, emotions, death, and absurdity, we tend to generate an air of self loathing. we view homestuck as a good vacation that went wrong as many times as it could without totally ruining it somehow
Homestuck main problem was that it had too much money and too much time. You tend to get decadent with those problems and the story is a go example
Dave recorded this video completely being sarcastic and to be ironic
“I should know, I’m one of them”
My personal head canon is that the reason Eridan seems hyper focused on acquiring a Kismesis is because he genuinely believes he's incapable of holding onto any of the other three quadrants. He acts with confidence but deep down, he's filled with doubt and self-loathing and it gets even worse when Feferi breaks off their Moirallegiance. He genuinely admires her and actually glorifies her to an unhealthy extent so when she consciously chooses to remove herself as the only positive influence in his life, it breaks him. After all, if the Troll he believes to be the most patient and kind of his species can't even stand to be his Moirail, what hope is there for anything in his life outside of Spades?
*edit* Even if this is a joke video its still interesting.
One thing that interesting is that in the post-canon eridan is turned into a pretty boy of sorts. But in the initial canon he has bags under his eyes and is constantly squinting even with glasses. I like to think that the bags are a result of constantly hunting for lusus , a sign of his hard work and dedication.
There also the fact that Eridan was always aware of his flaws, every time someone called him out he typically said 'yeah', meaning he has a high level of self awareness. What's sad though is that while he sees his flaws, he doesn't know how to fix them. Imagine being in that state, knowing the problems you have but not knowing how to fix them. He must have been in a hell of sorts.
It's interesting you say he's self aware--i always kinda interpreted his "yeah" answers when people call him out to be more of a brush-off. "yeah sure wwhatevver anywway wwhat wwas i sayin" style
This is somewhat unrelated, but i also like how despite being a Derse dreamer, eridan seems to be allergic to introspection. Which is fair, if i were a nazi i would also want to avoid inspecting my worldview too closely lest it be shattered with a slight amount of logic
Wow
Edit: Sorry I mean wwoww
“Turn on a lightbulb. Fucking magical.”
this is the funniest thing i've ever watched thank you
Watching even though I've read it twice. Please read homestuck, it's really good, genuinely. Eridan is the ideal God.

i love how every single word in this entire video is some form of irony
this is what homestuck content should be
Based and eripilled
this video legitimately gave me an appreciation for eridan. if that ain't real life science magic in action i don't know what is.
ngl hes my fave boi anyway
Okay, I know this is a joke video, but we have to also examine his penchant for missed epiphanies. Like, he was so close to actually understanding what the fuck was going on with English and yet he decides to let his pride get in the way. Contemporary literature is ALL ABOUT missed epiphanies.
What point of the comic was that?
'Life? I'm already alive, thanks.' Lmao
i like how the same 5ish frames have been used throughout this video
“Most of the aspects suck”
*proceeds to mention like, the 2 best aspects in the game besides space and time*
I mean Void is above average just by the sheer concept of what nothingness is but I wouldnt call it amazing, and life is average, but you can go pretty crazy with it depending on your class
But like this is coming from the opinion of a sylph of void so take it as you wish
Youre problably away from homestuck subjects for a longtime to read this but i feel like i should comment this in anyway .
From time to time, i always end up coming back to this one video of yours (and others at it) because man... It genuinely amazes me how well structured and effort youve put into your opinions on these videos while being funny and informational at it. I can honestly agree and bacukup a hundred percent with your points about it. It is REALLY, REALLY refreshing that someone in this old and endlessly dying fanbase have some good points and opinions about this under/overappreciated comic (if i must say, almost everytime in the "wrong" way). This is the type of content that i craved from homestuck back in the day and never found anything quite like you, ive always felt how people just mindlessly and effortlessly spited opinions about this and that on homestuck and it just seemed so silly... but not you, youve never ceased to impress me about some takes on the comic people just never talked about or even failed realized. everytime i see your videos about homestuck bring me back that old feeling of wanting to revisit and read this comic full of flaws that in anyway ive grown to enjoy. I genuinelly wish the best, and happy new year!
I love how science is noted as the force of specifically humanity's progress while talking about this troll, 10/10
Its like if Plague of Gripes and Dirk Strider raised a child together and that child grew up to make this video.
On a different note Thankyou for cheering me up! Video made my night!

Wow eridan is apparently really good at talking in a different voice
Sometime after reading homestuck I was helping my mother with cleaning and I found a super long scarf with blue and black stripes. I thought this was a sign from Gods and I wear it proudly to this day, altough my sight gone a little worse and I also have to wear glasses. Guys if you find such a scarf, don't wear it! It will slowwly turn you into Eridan!
I jus
Love him
Can I jus live him? Even with all his flaws
TL;DR Eridan is based
this is beautiful
My favorite incel
i would sell eridan's soul to lord english for 1 corn chip
Joke or not, this arguement all falls apart when you notice and abhorrently obtrusive hamartia. Eridan is hypocritical. Despite being a man of "science" he never studies the "pseudoscientific alchemy" beyond the standard weapon forging the others partake in. Science is not only about asking questions, it's about being willing to accept the answers as they come, something Eridan has failed to do.
Eridan is magnificent.
Huh. I had considered Eridan's fulfillment of his classpect through the destruction of the Matriorb, but I hadn't thought of it in terms of his genocidal aspirations--'burning the forest', so to speak.
The only reason I watched/read homestead was because of davekat . thats my only reason .
my reason for reading was because I had found the song Karkalicious and had no idea what it meant LOL
Dude mine was Pepsicola
"You know... when you get older, the Joker kind of makes a certain amount of sense" xD
Thats just hilarious, but i think that if it were Vriska instead of Eridan i would be trully offended.
Vriska did nothing wrong ;;;;)
But seriously, Vriska has done some bad stuff but I like her way more than Eridan, she actually has remorse for the people she's hurt.
Pyrocumulus25
Really? Cause Eridan DID show remorse, and DID apologise, so no, fuck Vriska...
@@LordPyro25 no she's a agslighting abusive POS And a waste of the pretty good gimmick of being literaly able to steal luck.
i dont care what vriska did i dont like her design therefore i hate her

I see you're a true man of culture

I've been in love with eridan ever since I've read the comic and honestly he's the best character
im glad to see that someone is watching this masterpiece in a recent timeframe lol
haha, funny fish dude go *science is better than magic* brrr
thank you eridan
