space is very much about being.. physically removed from others. jade lived on a desolate island, calliope lived in a little box at the edge of the universe, kanaya lived in the middle of nowhere, somewhere where she wasn’t even supposed to be (jadebloods spend their whole lives in the brooding caverns). their loneliness is very physical because space is by nature a physical aspect, both in terms of concrete environment and science, rules of the universe, so to say. they are always reminded of how alone they are by the nature of their existence.

void on the other hand is more like… a gnawing lack. the sort of loneliness that you feel in the middle of a crowd or at the edge of the action at a party or sat a space away from all your friends unable to get a word in. it’s more subtle but just as cruel as space’s, because while space is aware they are alone and cannot change that fact, void could but can’t. roxy lived surrounded by carapacians, had the ability to interact with others, but was never given the opportunity to truly connect with them because her neighbours were on a different level of intelligence. the only person who seemed to like equius was nepeta, everyone else thought he was some weirdo (he was, to be fair) and shunned him. he lived right next to someone who was theoretically a friend, but i don’t think you could call vriska and equius’ relationship a friendship.

by extension, i don’t think it’s far fetched at all to frame loneliness in the context of other aspects. heart for example seemed to have a thing with being (not) understood. dirk didn’t understand himself (no matter how much he tried to pretend he did), he wasn’t really understood by his friends. he latched furiously onto jake, the only person who seemed to truly see through his show of masculinity and cold logic. nepeta was very unique among her friends and her behaviour was mostly seen as bothersome by her friends, including (at least partially) her moirail, despite her being arguably the most emotionally intelligent person in the group. she had the best of intentions but the others never realised them until after she died.

Hello, Mimi the Mod here! With Dr. Sawyer! Unfortunately, I am forced to be tagged along with this idiot.

WARNING: I (Mimi) have burnt out. My apologies...

Therefore I (and Dr. Hotshot and Yarnaby Ross) will be off-air until Friday, March 13th! What did you call me just now-

Until then, BLAST THE INBOX SO I CAN DRAW A LOT WHEN IM BACK ON-AIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't want to answer a lot of those mails in short days. So though you'd may like to ask a bulk of questions, I'd prefer it if all of you tame.

We'll be waiting!!!!! I won't.
