Okay this is another one of my blackrom OTPās that sadly, Iām pretty much the only person who ships.Ā
From what I understand about Meenahās character, she tends to target people who appear weak. Sheāll poke them and make fun of them because sheās hatched a natural bully. That doesnāt mean that sheās uncaring or unfriendly, itās just a manifestation of how aggressive she is in personality. When she meets someone, she pushes at them, sort of like a test to see whether or not theyāre worthy of her attention.Ā
So imagine, if you will, Meenah thinking that this unassuming person is going to do something she wants, only to figure out that he wonāt do it at all. Sheād have a hell of a time with it and if thereās anything Meenah can appreciate in a person, itās strength of will. Sheāll catch the Vriska disease and start wanting to get his attention and then get addicted to it.Ā
Also, if you donāt think that Meenah has a thing for snarky assholes, look at her interest in Karkat.
Then you turn it around to Tavros being confronted with a person who has all the confidence, all the willpower and leadership skills to make things she wants happen and she squanders them on selfish pursuits. If you donāt think personality traits like that would piss off Tavros, I donāt know what will.Ā
Holy shit, youāve got the makings of a really awesome blackrom here. WHY DONāT MORE PEOPLE SHIP IT.Ā
In my mind, Equius has an admiration for people who are enthusiastic about things that they love. I think itās because itās opposite of what heās like but really, the way that he wants to be himself.Ā
Though it might be childish and everyone tells him that itās stupid to do so, Tavros loves fantasy and adventure with everything heās got. Why wouldnāt Equius appreciate that? Iād say that if there were any person that Equius didnāt have to TRY so hard to be around, itād be Tavros.Ā
Also, theyād bond over weird furry porn but see nothing but art when they look at it. Everyone would be freaked out but Tav and Eq wouldnāt care.Ā
If thereās one thing that Eridan desperately needs, itās someone who will listen to him and not make him feel as though his problems are a waste of time. He needs someone who can sit there and painstakingly help him seperate his emotions from logic because we all know that once Eridan lets his emotions dictate, he gets funnel vision and ends up doing stupid shit. That being said, if you can appeal to Eridanās sense of logic, he can still be reasoned with and calmed down.
Enter Tavros, someone who has a level head and an astonishing amount of patience just waiting to be channeled somewhere.Ā
I can see Eridan being able to lower his guard around Tavros, since Tav doesnāt make him feel the need to challenge and prove what a big badass highblood he is all the time. He can be himself and maybe, feel at better ease if he gets swindled into doing stupid childish things.
