MEMORY 06
MEMORY Romantic Advice to Eridan (Trivial Positive)
GAINED Day 175, Columbine Game
FORM Jack-in-the-boxes, 4/5 uses.
This memory is really just a dump of offscreen development. We know at the beginning that Karkat and Eridan have a close friendship, and Karkat often gives Eridan advice for his many many problems, but we don't actually see much of it.
So this memory is remembering that he would often talk to Eridan about his problems, particularly his shitty failed kismesiship with Vriska and his shitty unrequited flushed feelings for his moirail Feferi.
This is a mostly positive memory! Karkat likes Eridan, he cares about his problems. Eridan is about the most self-involved and self-pitying person on the planet, and all of his problems are really stupid, but Karkat is deluded about this and sees Eridan as a nice guy who is going through a lot of stuff. He also, because he doesn't yet remember Feferi, will be sort of seeing her through Eridan's card-carrying Nice Guy eyes.
There's a weird insecurity to this relationship that Karkat doesn't have the capacity to understand yet; Eridan is seadweller royalty, openly hates landdwellers, and talks shit about Karkat's blood behind his back, so their 'good bro' relationship is pretty loaded, but that stuff is all beneath the surface. Karkat likes him a lot and is very pleased Eridan wants his advice and seems to need him.
