Horuss Zahhak - Tumblr Posts
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

nepeta and equius have the <> symbol in their quirks. nepeta has the <, equius has the >.
with meulin and horuss, meulin has one half but horuss doesn't have the other
what typing quirks would the alternian ancestors have?

(For the author- the jump-start you gave me....../pos)
Kankri, as a Seer of Blood, how are your current relationships with the other 11 alpha trolls?
Are there any trolls interested in filling a quadrant with you?
In other words, could you perhaps illustrate a chart marking your relationships with everyone?
My relati9ns with my teammates are. C9mplex at 6est, 6ut m9st s9cial c9nnecti9ns are s9, it's n9t surprising. Als9, take int9 ac9unt this chart is 9f my direct teammates fr9m my timeline 9f events, n9t any 9f the 6l9gs here. I think? It gets really c9nfusing with all the different gh9sts. S9 feelings may 9verlap s9me may n9t.
Als9, I d9 n9t think any9ne is interested in f9rming a quadrant with me, which I am perfectly fine with.
[ Author here! There's an ooc answer for the sake of explanation under the cut. ]
[ Greetings! You get my bonus autistic rambling about my personal beliefs involving these fuckers. ]
[ Except Latuna. He currently has a one sided crush on her because he is a FOOL and seriously needs to get over it like my guy she is happily taken. ]
[ Hello to whoever sent this ask!! I dunno what jumpstart I gave you but you're welcome I think? I just like interacting with fellow blogs!! :D ]
[ Before anything else the emotions for Kankri in the chart above are strictly what HE COULD develop for said individuals if he spends more time interacting with them and developing a closer bond. ]
[ also wanting to make it clear while I believe Cronus has black feelings for Mituna I don't think they're genuine ones and two I do not see that ever being reciprocated. That gold blood would never. ]
[ I think Horuss and Kankri would work as good moirails, but alas. ]
[ I also think Kankri and Aranea would be good pitch but specifically it would be something on and off because they would get used to each other, calm down, breakup, start to get annoyed at each other again, and the horrible cycle continues. ]
[ also I didn't list it on the chart, as it is simply my guilty pleasure idea, but if you've read this far you get to know it: I kinda think MeuKri/KanLin is cute leave me alone ]
[ alright rambling over ]
Idk, man, I got bored and couldn't draw an actual thing, so-
