Equius is peak, actually

I feel like a lot of people choose to write him off because they see him as the classist, sweaty milk drinker. Really and truly I feel like he's a character that cares a lot about Nepeta and his friends. He protects Nepeta from FLARP and Vriska, he starts to learn to deprogram himself from the classism people associate him with by becoming friendlier and more cordial with his lowblood friends, he made Tavros legs and says less classist things over time. Him and Nepeta are moirails and he takes it very seriously. Unfortunately, Hussie only ever saw him as a joke character, and killed him off before he could make him more fleshed out. He is a character who is passionate about the things he sets out to be, he's passionate about robots and machinery, he's passionate about his strength and culture, and he's passionate about his friends. He's been socially programmed to be classist, but starts breaking down those beliefs by being Moirails with Nepeta, having red feelings for Aradia, and growing closer with the other lower bloods, even though he was killed before that was fully realized. Despite all the joke aspects put into his character, and despite him being killed off far too quickly, he's deeper than he seems and is worth more than just contempt.
