Damara Megido - Tumblr Posts
DamPor sweep!!!!!!!!
elaborating more on this i'd also like to point out that i do genuinely really love horuss as a character
there's a lot about him i'd change because the way he's handled in canon is pretty intentionally making fun of systems & therians and there's a lot of more tactful ways to handle that (not surprising given some of the other dancestors)
and honestly? rufioh sucks. i like him as a character but as a person he's hot ass - the guy cheats on his girlfriend and then starts spreading shit about her being his 'psycho ex' while ignoring that HE is the reason she snapped in the first place (he and meenah anyway)
rufioh's a coward and needs to grow a backbone and i think a lot of people pity him because they see him as a victim when it's his spinelessness that ends up hurting people around him
that being said horuss isn't blameless either, he's still very obviously bigoted and though he genuinely loves rufioh there's still this part of him that sees their relationship as this scandalous, almost fetishistic indulgence
both horuss and equius are VERY sexual people and i think if they were ever developed further than they were in canon, part of their development would be not allowing that sort of thing to dominate their life because of how unhealthy it is to construct your personality around a fetish
not sure how hot of a take this is
meulin and horuss' relationship as it is in canon is extremely toxic and very obviously straining for horuss, that much is clear
HOWEVER, i think with an honest talk about their feelings (which is pretty customary for moirails) they could genuinely form a pretty stable pale relationship?
i think meulin as a character just needs to stop being so overwhelmingly positive all the time because it's obviously draining to horuss and it's probably not the healthiest for her as well? especially with how much trauma she's probably processing with kurloz
i dunno, i just think she's quite a flat character as it stands and i think she deserved better, and i think the key to developing her and her backstory more is more of a focus on her quadrants with kurloz and horuss. (provided that she's also allowed to function as her own entity, because right now part of the problem is how much of a satellite she is to kurloz who is infinitely more developed)
the thing is, if i were ever to attempt a dancestor continuation or something like that, there'd definitely be a few characters i'd need to outright retool to treat in any kind of respectful manner (damara and horuss are blatantly offensive and i just can't think of any way to do anything with cronus in his current state)
that being said, the entire backstory around damara, rufioh and horuss is one of the most interesting parts of homestuck. the dancestors have some really interesting interpersonal relationships; the damara/rufioh/horuss/meenah thing, the kurloz/meulin thing and how that relates to mituna/latula, porrim/latula, cronus/mituna/kurloz, and that's just the ones i can think of

sidenote - god i wish tumblr had more colours
Rufioh & Meenah's friendship is... weirdly endearing to me? They have a really interesting rapport during Openbound and I think part of that boils down to the fact that they're very similar people.
Both Rufioh & Meenah share a principle of 'act first, run away, don't look back and don't feel guilty'. They hurt people and hide away from the consequences, then jump back into their lives without realising the hurt they've caused. They're a very similar brand of shitty with a similar fast and loose moral code, and I think that's why they get along so well.
The difference is that Rufioh is more of a passive pretty boy who lets his looks get him off the hook, whereas Meenah relies more on her royal status to try and justify herself.
I also think that they'd be very, very good for eachother if they were to actually do the self-reflection required to sort their shit out. They've got the same issues and having someone to go on that journey with might be just what the other person needs. Having someone with similar experience to relate to is a highly beneficial thing when you're taking the steps to better yourself.
I don't think it's romantic, though. Rufioh outright says that he likes Meenah being the only friend of his who hasn't hit on him. Rufioh also has some very, very unhealthy habits in romantic relationships and some very problematic attitudes towards women. Both of these are things I think Meenah would have some choice words with him about.
I also think that, if anyone's the catalyst for them sorting their shit out, it's Porrim. I've thought a lot about a scenario wherein Porrim realises the magnitude of what they both did to Damara and calls them out on harming her so fervently; as well as directly addressing Rufioh's misogyny.
Of course, there's always the alternative angle that they'd just enable their worst habits with eachother, but I think they're just different enough in the way they approach their flaws that they'd bounce off eachother in a way that benefits the other.
Most likely boils down to about six paragraphs of me talking out my ass, but I find it interesting nonetheless. I just think Rufioh Nitram needs to get his fucking act together.
