look it’s a well known matter of fact that each and every single boy in homestuck is a weenie baby when it comes down to it
open your eyes people! they’re all weenies! your fave could never and i know it hurts but you just need to accept and understand that they absolutely have not and never will match even a fourth of the tenacity literally any other homestuck girl has in their right pinkies alone
“Not even Dirk?” is what I’d ask if I didn’t know better.
dirk “im going to dissipate into a cloud of pixels due to my sheer manpain” strider is one of the biggest weenies of them all
Sollux is the closest. Literally kills himself twice to save everyone. I don’t know if fucking off into eternity after that counts as weenieing up, but every guy is at least second best to this weenie-ass nerd.
sollux is one of my favorite homestuck boys i think because he’s so straightforward. is he an asshole? yes. does he have trauma? yes. does he front about it? no. he minds his own business. he just wants other people to mind theirs. “don’t ask me about my disability or my mortality” quote of the year. there were like 2 redeemable troll boys and sollux was 1.5 of them
everyone else: bickering, squabbling over computers, giving melodramatic speeches, killing each other, fucking with the humans, having relationship drama,

karkat and sollux were basically best fucking friends with huge messy humiliating crushes on each other and i feel like somehow not enough people ever really got around to exploring the potential there even though it was one of the earliest and most obvious ships amongst the trolls
like. karkat, who already can’t separate his feelings for others into quadrants, is simultaneously envious of, worried about, and comfortable with sollux. he wants his friend to take better care of himself and wishes he would move closer so they could see each other more, but is also petty and rude and insulting in that way teenage boys so often are. he’s bitter that sollux is better at coding than he is, but also admires him for this fact, but also resents that such skill is wasted on a hot mess like sollux, but also wants the best for his good pal. meanwhile sollux teases the hell out of karkat because (1) he’s an insecure asshole to basically everyone and (2) he wants to push karkat to be better, which sollux knows he can be.
they know each other well enough that they are able to be at least kind of open with their genuine feelings, even if in a fairly roundabout way mixed with dark humor and deprecation of both themselves and one another. they’re basically always black flirting – sometimes as a joke, sometimes because they’re actually pissed at each other, and sometimes to cover the legitimate concern and affection they share. and no matter how vitriolic they get, they’re always reassured of their friendship because they’re just a couple of miserable, dorky 13-year-olds clinging to each other in the face of their uncertain but surely unpleasant fates at the hands of the harrowing world in which they live.
just moving along like everyone else
