Let's not act like we're not trash: Red and Black Crushes

[Quincy Quinn]

Someone made a thread on how they wanted Amisia as their girlfriend. In reality I know myself and others aren't any better, even if we wouldn't pick her. So now, lets admit what utter romantic-shipping trash we are and confess flushed and black feelings for fictional characters.

In Homestuck? Anyone looking good in Hiveswap?

I always had a bit of a red thing for Karkat. Edit: Throw Mallek in the list for that too. Hot damn. Maybe Marvus too. I'm trash.

I thought black romance would be tricky, but you'd be surprised how many times you can find someone that could be mildly attractive or hot in your opinion but with opinions and sentiments that get your blood boiling and ready to start a smack-down.

For me that person was often Eridan, though this new Zebruh guy makes me angry just thinking about him. People like him are a lot of the more toxic reasons I hated this all-girls college I went to (so obviously not the pushy quadrants thing, hint hint) and there are so many things I want to yell in his face, and yet he's so calming and confident and... ewww, god. I don't know if I like this feeling. But wow, it's probably the biggest black crush I've had.

Edit: Off topic from Red or Black, but I normally consider Polypa MSPA Reader's canon moirail. But... is it weird I'm starting to feel pale for Gor-Gor? Because I am.

Eh, If I had to choose, I'd go with Daraya flushed, Tyzias pale. Seems kinda basic I suppose, but whatever. Too hard to choose a black pairing of any sort, though I don't think that's the kind of thing you search for. You kind of just, realize that it's happening. I'd have to see how the other acts to me first, and no one in the friendsim behaved like that toward the player. So iunno.

Well, I can remember a little black-flirting with MC. First of all, Zebruh seemed down for literally any quadrant. And Azdaja, while in constant quadrant vascillation with Konyyl, seemed to feel hate-flirty with MC when they let him have it verbally and then Azdaja chased them through the streets to the trainyard using his psi.

Hmmmm. Elwurd red, she seems like she knows what its about. Lanque black bc hes a sassy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and could probably make me hate him quite a bit, but I could see red working. Marvus seems like a bro, so pale with pails maybe? Chahut though. Chahut can break me.

>pale with pails
This is the first time I've heard that term, and god I love it.

Honestly, I'd kinda enjoy a real dating sim with the troll quadrants. That would be fun and different from the existing dating sims.

I'd probably do matesprit with Mallek (already has his hoodie). He seems really chill.

For moirail, Polypa or Tyzias. They both would be nice.

For kismesis, Zebruh I think. Yeah, he's a piece of ♥♥♥♥, but he also doesn't seem like he would kill me, unlike some other trolls.

You got excellent taste~

I think so too, rereading his route, though it only seemed to pick up being we had this Rainbow Drinker cosmetics on. We just had his fetish going, is all.

At the end of the day, I think our relationship would be closer to pale than anything else.

i wasnt actually talking about the moments in his route. Moreso the little tidbits we see throughout other routes. Like him buying the protag a coffee machine and how broken up he was when we broke into his office.

I took that as feelings of pity (since we were essentially a homeless vagabond taking refuge in an abandoned hive) and honestly the latter would be feelings of betrayal that would be heartbreaking in just about any quadrant except perhaps black. But yeah, I guess it could be interpretted that way too.

mallek and nihkee. they hot.

alright let me just fling myself down this rabbit hole

I'd be Polypa's moirail in a heartbeat, no doubt, just like basically everyone else in this thread, it seems? Or, hell, maybe matesprit. I'm not usually into muscle-y girls, but she just stole my heart and won't give it back. I wish she would. I need it to keep living.

Speaking of moirails, I could totally see myself slipping into that, or at least something like that for Tyzias, Chixie, and Lynera. Tyzias would be fun to hang around with, Chixie could really use the emotional support, and hoooooo boy, does Lynera have some problems in need of fixing. Also, I love all 3 of them. <>

Also also, Remele is pretty, and quite nice to someone she actually gives a damn about. Compared to the other Vriskas, she is by far the Superior Vriska (unless we include Aranea, who wins by an apocalyptic landslide). I would, at the least, experiment with what exactly "pailing" entails with her.

Also also also, not romance-related, but I would adopt Wanshi and protect her as if she were my own daughter. She is simply too innocent and pure to not protect.

I've always liked characters I can relate to. I liked Eridan in Homestuck, and in Hiveswap:
Tegiri- *exists*.
Me, a hikkineet, anime/manga fan and former anon: I love him.

I gotta say Zebruh's physical design isn't bad-looking.
