Let's all just thank Mituna Captor for being the only grub who isn't mean to Eridan. And yes, I am trying to seem intelligent but there is a tiny piece of me that wants to fangirl.
The worst thing is that basically NO ONE in Homestuck actually cares about Eridan, so if he was crying as a grub, most likely no one would go see why or even try to help, which just makes me really sad.
This is why I like Eridan sometimes. I made a headcanon where he actually cries himself to sleep after Feferi died. Heartwrenching as it is heartwarming.
I've come to realize that ERIDAN IS AN ASSHOLE. HOW COULD I EVER BECOME STUPID ENOUGH TO LIKE THIS CHARACTER. okay wow glad I got that out of my system.
People, this is Mituna and Eridan as grubs. If you go and look at the artists page you would know from how they draw. They do a whole series of things like this. Mituna's hair is wild and longer then Sollux's and you can see ALWAYS see Sollux's eyes, whereas with Mituna you only see them sometimes. That's how you can tell them apart. For a quick thing on WHY Mituna and Eridan are grubs, it's because it's an AU where the ancestors are the dancestor&decendants parents. Basically, IT'S NOT SOLLUX.
I have a feeling this would be Cronus and Mituna I know the title says Eridan, but the Amporas had that streak in their hair Cronus just grew up to dye it and slick it back Then Mituna had his hair over his eyes when he was young Sollux would not have (Don't think anyone thought this was Sol, but those who did, there you go ^~^) But if it were Mituna and Eridan, Mituna would still be older, not truly the same age, as shown up here He would roughly be around 3 or 4 sweeps old I don't know if this makes any sense to anyone, but it's what my opinion is Hopefully I have helped anyone who was confused ^^
I just imagine Mituna getting bullied by Cronus and spazzing out, and then Eridan just walks by reading or some shit and Tuna just stops for a second, goes "Hey Eridan!" And then goes back to spazzing and screeching curse words at Cronus after Eri answers back with a simple "Hello Mituna" and walks away.
