when you’re in a bad mood and your guy friends immediately ask if you’re on your period
We ask because we need to know if your legit having a problem we can help with. Or if your just emotional problems because of biology.
Moral of the rant. Don’t trust anything that bleeds for 7 days and doesn’t die.
we’re gonna need a bigger jar
Also fun fact for all the douchecanoes out there who like to make “are you on your period?” comments:
PMS stands for premenstrual syndrome. “Pre” meaning “before.” Meaning that for most people who menstruate, any emotional symptoms are going to be present in the week or so preceding their periods.
Meaning by the time we have reached the point at which we can actually bleed on everything you love, we are once again emotionally stable enough to do so with cold, rational intention.

ahahahahahaha

AHAHAHAHAHAHA oh dear me this is the most efficient way of saying OY DARLIN’ I’M A WANKER I’ve seen in ages.
adding on that i always cringe when people with ovaries blame pms for their shitty opinions, THAT’S NOT HELPING STAAAAHP

sorry, that last post was meant to error correct a vriska/aradia mixup and clear up that they did date at one point.
as to the rest…
TVTropes is notoriously lousy at comprehension when it comes to Brainbent.
No joke. At one point someone had put in ‘Suppressed Mammaries’ in there with regards to Karkat and I just about had a fit. Fortunately at some point some kind soul came by and yanked that out. I hope no one put it back. (Please don’t tell me if they did, I don’t need to throw a ragefit all over tumblr today.)
no, didn’t see anything like that when i looked.
did see some callie info on there already :3

It’s weird when the TVTropes article for something comes before the thing itself in Google.
The TVTropes for Brainbent appears to be kind of in denial: : Aradia is called Sollux’s “Living Emotional Crutch.” Nowhere else on the page does it acknowledge that she’s obviously dead, and Sollux’s conversations with her hallucinatory.
Yeah, obviously this made me cry when I noticed it.
It doesn’t acknowledge that Aradia’s dead because she isn’t? :/ Pretty sure Luka said at some point that they just got burned out on fandumb before they could do anything specific with her. I think it’s also been implied that she and Sollux are taking a break but I might be getting my fanfic mixed up with my canon.
vriska’s fandumb was the one i got sick of dealing with, although i’ve since decided not to punish the character (and the story) for that. aradia remains super awesome and i like to write her.
you are correct that they dated for a while and then flipped pale (because saying ‘just friends’ demeans the awesomeness of friendship imo). it was an amicable breakup.
Wait what she canonically really isn’t dead in Brainbent?
I knew it was being left vague but like the OP I thought she was and that eventually somewhere down the line we’d get a full reveal during one of Sollux’s downswings.
…huh.

p. true, yo.
*still grumpy about “sassy black” kanaya*
i looked again and i was really happy to see that they fleshed out the vriska info a bit beyond “stereotype of her diagnosis that is stigmatizing”
because textbook cases, people with a disorder doing harmful things, and people acting out based on what people expect from them is unthinkable in the field and and also no one ever gives a working diagnosis that can be changed over time or anything it’s all permanent and concrete and stiiiigma
and i absolutely didn’t consult two practicing therapists about my characterization or anything like that
it’s nice when folks look closer is all i’m sayin’. and i’m utterly astonished that anyone has been paying this much attention to the intricacies of sollux and aradia’s relationship. that is amazing and makes me feel amazing.

but if this gets 16,000 notes, my homophobic parents will come to my wedding. I know the click of a button isn’t that convincing, but if it gets enough notes, I’m going to type up the names & show them how many people support same-sex marriages.
Why not.
See, what they ought to do is show up at the wedding with a huge stack of facebook posts against marriage equality. And then the two sides can compare notes on who got more horribly illiterate and misspelled nonsense. I’m betting the parents would win that competition hands down.
why the heck not. i like a good symbolic victory.
i hope jake learns from this shit and is able to apply it to himself once he dies from candy poisoning at the end of this subplot and ascends from trickstier to godtier.
they are in desperate need of a real conversation about their mutual failures to be decent boyfriends for each other now that the masks are off.
bets they reconcile?

Out of the four times a girlfriend has died horribly right in front of Sollux (although he was KO’d when Feferi ate it the first time), this is the third time he has had a relationship literally blow up in his face.
The only job in Paradox Space that can hope to rival the sheer danger of being in a quadrant with this kid involves being Sollux Captor himself.
he makes dirk look fortunate D:
trickster sollux would at least have a half-smile though.
i bet he’d have a huge cheshire cat grin while he glee’d about everyone being doomed.
i liked that trickster mituna sprite someone did where he’s just glowering
