EITHER WAY, no I already shipped it. They have a lot in common and I could see it working in literally any quadrant. I especially like that Calliope disguises herself as a troll because she thinks she is ugly, and I like to think that Eridan wears the march drag to try and distance himself from who he is, and they could bond over their self pity.
In this AU, since Calliope obviously goes out superheroing as Uroboros, her troll alter ego is more of a necessity than just cosmetic appearance. Why she chose that will be delved on in later chapters, along with why she’s part of an anti-superhero unit. But you are right about Eridan’s drag outfits, and that could still be a reason for either of the two to bond regardless of which identity they’re using.
I like how you think people never ever change their views in their entire lives. Good job being a informed caring person.
tfw have been on tumblr for four years and have only now gotten my first anon hate
So tell us more about PT!
I’ve kinda vacillated on exactly how PT became PT. I’m sorta divided between him either forcing himself to drink Overcharge to avoid being eaten or being one of Floyd’s “Amp Accidents.” The weird thing is he regained his human level of intelligence and ability to talk (hence the more humanoid mouth shape) after finally turning/evolving(?) into a Popper.
He mainly tries to blend in so as not to get killed by Scabs or the factions, though I do like to think he’s got shoot-through protagonist hitboxes if we’re going with video game meta lol. Eventually he does decide to start wearing clothes that he can force over his pustules, though he’s still leery being around humans in general.
