005 ♒ Video | Day 199

[fishdouche]

Good day, Asgard.

[The violet sea troll offers a surprisingly friendly wave, sitting at the oak desk in his room in the Baldr welcome hall. He twirls a feather quill in his other hand as he speaks.]

I came across a grubdisc I had nearly forgotten, an' it reminded me of a question I'd been dyin' to ask you.

[He pauses for emphasis, leaning in to smirk conspiratorially.]

Has anyone here evver felt personally vvictimized by Sollux Captor?

If the answwer is yes, an' I suspect it wwill be, I havve a proposition that you wwill find mutually beneficial.

An' Sol, if you're fuckin' eavvesdroppin' like the slitherbeast in the grass that you are, you should knoww that I intentionally didn't hide this little message from your repulsivve mutant eyes because I wwanted you to knoww just howw many people wwish you wwere fuckin' dead. Maybe you could do them a favvor an' take care a' that little predicament a' your still bein' alivve all on your owwn.

[Didn't hide it, couldn't hide it. Same difference. Either way, he disconnects the video shortly after with a laugh.]

I'm sorry.

I hope one day, you can understand it. And be truly happy.

[Video]

[fishdouche]

Stop that! I wwon't be human pitied by you!

[He scowls.]

[Video]

[5thchild]

I'm not human.

And it's not pity. It's love.

[Video]

[fishdouche]

... Wwhy.

[It's the only word that springs to mind. He's completely flustered by the other's calm confessions. Eridan's certainly not used to someone sympathizing with him--or really reacting positively at all to what he says.]

Wwhy wwould you say somethin' like that?

[Video] apologizing for Kaworu forever sob

[5thchild]

Because I do love you.

[Video] lmao Eridan is just ... boggled.

[fishdouche]

[Eridan almost literally squawks, baring his teeth in a snarl afterwards.]

You don't evven fuckin' knoww me!

[Video]

[5thchild]

That is fine.

[Video]

[fishdouche]

No it's not! You havve to knoww someone before you can just confess somethin' like that.

[Video]

[5thchild]

It's fine if you don't accept it. It's fine if you refuse it.

My feelings will still exist, nonetheless.

[Video]

[fishdouche]

No. They wwon't.

[He snarls.]

You're goin' to quit this charade before I rip your head from your fuckin' torso. Understood?

[Video]

[5thchild]

It already happened.

Why does it upset you?

[Video]

[fishdouche]

Because it doesn't make any fuckin' sense!

[Video]

[5thchild]

Why not?

[Video]

[fishdouche]

Because people don't fuckin' lovve me. An' I like it that wway.

[Sour. Grapes.]

[Video]

[5thchild]

Do you, really?

Even though you are angry because someone "stole" the person you love.

[Video]

[fishdouche]

She's the fuckin' exception clearly!

[Video]

[5thchild]

Why don't you want to be loved?

[Video]

[fishdouche]

Allowwin' yourself to be lovved is a wweakness. People betray you. You shouldn't let them get close enough to do any damage.

[Video]

[5thchild]

If that's what you believe, that's all there will be, even if it's not entirely true.

It's normal to want run from pain. But after running for so long you will realize that pain will still be felt and that's all you will feel. You will forget how to fade that pain, and you will believe that life is painful, when it's not.

[ a gentle smile ] It's true you will always hurt one way or another, but you can fade away the pain, you can forget it, with those things called "bonds".

Through bonds you can feel happiness, you can be loved. Because you are worthy of it. You are worthy of love.

That's why I love you.

[Video]

[fishdouche]

An' wwhat is no one wwants to form those "bonds" wwith you? Wwhy set yourself up to be hurt by them?

That's just fuckin' idiotic. An' I, Eridan Ampora, am not an idiot.

[He snarls, leaning closer.]

YOU WWILL STOP SAYIN' THAT! Or I wwill RIP your limbs off!

[Video]

[5thchild]

Are you sure no one wants to? Or have you simply shut yourself off from everyone else and no longer give them a chance?

[ he still smiles. Threats do not work on Kaworu. Not even actual maiming. ] Why does it upset you so much when I say it?

[Video]

[fishdouche]

Because I am not fuckin' "lovveable!" I am dangerous! Vviolent! I am Eridan Ampora!

[He huffs, crossing his arms over his chest.]

[Video]

[5thchild]

I didn't say you weren't any of those things.

I said you are worthy.

[Video]

[fishdouche]

Yeah wwell thanks for that, but I think you should find someone else to harass.

Someone wwho buys your horsebeast shit.

[Video]

[5thchild]

It's fine if you don't wish to accept it. The feeling exists nonetheless.
