Listen, you love him, you hate him, you hate that you love him! he might be a sweaty weirdo, but he's OUR sweaty weirdo! And he's my patron troll! And I love that! I'm not here for discourse. This is memes, headcanons, and jokes only. Please post anything you like within that. screenshots of the comic, fanart (credited), fanfics, and personal musings are ALL WELCOME. what's your favorite thing about Equius? I'll start. My favorite thing is how baffled he is by his own sexual proclivities. Every time Equius gets horny, he's always also confused! I think that this is great. He's like, "oh no, this is unexpected. but we have to stop this conversation because I'm covered in sweat," and I'm like Equius, you're ALWAYS COVERED IN SWEAT! This happens to you constantly! Why are you always acting like this is a new thing for you? It's not! I also love that he can never have anything he wants, and how it's almost always at least 90% his fault. He'll break a bow, and instead of, like, getting a stronger bow that won't break, he'll think "adfgtdfg oh my god I'm so STRONG I can't even hold this bow that's so hot" and then keep breaking them. He has no intention of ever improving at archery, and I love that for him. He's perfect. No notes.
Thoughts????

Signing up and seeing this blessed topic. He is so pathetic, I love him.
Absolutely agreed. He's a complete fucking weirdo and I love him for that. My personal Equius headcanon is that he HAS actually succeeded at shooting a bow and arrow without breaking it, once, with perfect accuracy, by some miracle.
He felt so viscerally uncomfortable with this outcome for reasons he could not verbalize that he had to take a cold shower while Aurthour lingered concernedly nearby with a glass of milk. He has never mentioned or even thought about it since.
i think that is really beautiful. i appreciate this headcanon and i am giving it plus one (1) drop of sweat emoji! +💦

i feel like he had a ton of potential, he was a very flawed character but that just gives him all the more room to grow and that growth could be really interesting to watch!! and at the same time people seem to discount him as Evil or something but i KNOW in my HEART that he is kind. like he made an arm for vriska and legs for tavros without them asking and without expecting compensation that must count for something??
and then besides that i do just love him so much has a sweaty freak hes a wierdo hes pathetic i want to tuck him in and give him a little kiss on his forehead
ps i love passeriinformal's headcanon immm going to steal that its mine now awesome headcanon
what who said that
++ something else i forgot to mention is this aspect to equius which is like. he very well may be a very deeply unhappy person. hes pretty isolated and he literally ends up killing himself because according to hussie he could have broken the string that suffocated him if he just tried a little harder and him dying with a smile augghg. its fucking MISERABLE but its also so interesting and ive never seen anybody explore it before
what who said that
I sometimes wonder if him fighting robots might act, in part, as a sort of self-injury by proxy. He sets them to kill mode too, which could even be partially motivated by passive suicidal ideation. (In addition to the... other reasons he may welcome the possibility of his own robots beating him to death.) Like mainly it's an outlet to take his anger out on, and also exercise and combat training, but there are probably ways to accomplish that with a lower risk of dying and less injury
And since he's getting hit hard enough to sometimes lose teeth, that may mean frequent dental pain, as well as pain from fractures, bruises, and so on. Even if he's pretty resilient, having that constantly in the background can still compound on stress, which then feeds back into the cycle. idk i am probably overthinking the horse weirdo
