Sometimes Revisiting Old Fandoms And Remembering Old Aus You Used To Discuss Gives You Better Clarity

Sometimes revisiting old fandoms and remembering old aus you used to discuss gives you better clarity on a character's vibes.

Like with the aus where Bro Strider isn't a shit guardian just give me the realization that if that man hadn't been effected by possessed lil cal he would have been the perfect kinda fucked up southern uncle figure.

Like this man would sleep on the couch instead of his own bed with no blanket and would make Dave a bologna sandwich with Kraft singles cheese on it for breakfast while on the phone talking about how someone down the street tried to sell him drugs or something. This man would attempt to fix old four-wheelers in a shed he made out of wooden polls and sheet metal while Dave eats dirt and plays with a stray dog that shows up in the yard because Bro fed it hot dogs a couple times..... If you couldn't tell I wrote this forgetting they live in the city up until now but the point still stands

Homestuck trolls and what kind of tea I think they'd drink

Aradia: peppermint

Tavros: milk tea

Sollux: it's just honey in hot water

Karkat: sleepy time tea

Nepeta: matcha with spearmint

Kanaya: earl grey

Terezi: citrus green tea

Vriska: anything with cinnamon or ginger in it

Equius: chamomile

Gamzee: southerner style of sweet tea

Eridan: claims coffee is better but everyone sees the grimace he makes when he thinks no one it looking

Feferi: any kind of berry tea

Idk how to explain it

Sometimes I think about regular names that fit the troll naming style and just- imagine if instead of the names we got one of the trolls was named something like Claire

Like no offense to people named Claire, I just think it would be silly to meet someone from a different planet just to find out they have an earth name

I had another thought about this: mans is the "he's trying" adult

Like I feel like when he learns something new about Dave's friends and he doesn't fully get it he'll still attempt to understand

Like he'd find out something like someone doesn't celebrate Christmas but still get them a gift card and just hand it to them on a random Tuesday in December like "Dave said you didn't celebrate Christmas and I didn't know if you have a specific day for gift giving so here" real awkward but like he has the spirit

Mans would probably respond to finding out someone Dave's friends with is trans or enby with "well.... do ya like katanas" or something

He would punch someone insulting Dave's friends while holding a beer in the other hand or like holding his hat down so it doesn't fall off

I was definitely a fish in a past life

Okay, so for clarification: I'm only at the beginning of one piece but like-

Just looking at Mihawk makes me think that this man would have some quirk about him the way Gomez Adams does when Morticia speaks french

Like the black and white Adams family tv show kind specifically

Like this man would go out of his way to kiss his partner's hand/arm at the sound of them speaking a different language (idk what language would suit him best for this ngl)

Like especially the scenes where it causes some silly shenanigans like when Gomez couldn't kiss Morticia due to being in a suit of armor or something

Idk, like I said I'm at the beginning so I could be wrong
