IM SO SORRY ANON. IM SO SORRY. This was sent Sept. 30th :(

Eridan is unfamiliar with panic attacks conceptually. He's never really... needed to panic, just sort of attack. He doesn't get the word itself, and assumes it's something violent. Maybe it is.

All he knows is that when he sees you freaking out, his pusher drops. He's quick to get over to your side, hands hovering over you and not touching.

You're getting his coat. And his scarf. Maybe more scarves and coats. You must be cold? You're shaking, you might be cold. He's bundling you up with his own coat, that's for certain.

Only then does he even touch you, through his own coat. Just in case he'd be too cold against your skin. But it's hugs and leaning. He doesn't want to leave you alone. He only will if you ask him to.

If you're legible enough, he'll try to get you to explain how you're feeling. He doesn't understand why, and he needs to. Even if it doesn't make sense, he tries to reason you through it. If you're feeling in danger or unsafe, he immediately offers to be protection no matter the cost.

If it's overstimulation, he's more than happy just to share the same space without making much noise. He's too scared himself to leave you be, but he doesn't want to make anything worse. Happy to turn off the lights and open windows to clear out smells and take the coat off you if the texture feels bad.

Silent dissociation makes him antsy, and he'll try talking to you... and then at you. If it seems to work, he's glad to ramble on about virtually nothing. If it's not helping at all, he's glad to just exist in your general area in attempt to help.

If it isn't in person and more online, he'll start continuously messaging you. First trying to talk it out, but if you're not in the mood, he'll try distraction instead.

Regardless of how you panic- loud, quiet, completely still, all over- he doesn't want to leave you. He'll hang around as long as you need, and if you don't want him in the room, he's not going to go far either way.

Truthfully, he can be a little smothering. He wants this fixed as soon as possible because you're being vulnerable and that's terrifying. You're vulnerable and he can't be that and if you're that then you can get hurt and he doesn't WANT to hurt you, so he wants it over.

in fact it was debunked so many times that i couldn't even reasonably fit all of the examples in this post.

of course, playing "the straight man to someone else's crazy" and "calming a more violent troll" is the point of moirallegiance, and it's fair to assume a lot of the time it may be one particular troll's violence. however, trolls are not stagnant. nor do they have Only One Emotion At All Times. these roles can and do frequently switch, and the trolls refer to this in comic plenty of times! the amount of times they say "moirails calm EACH OTHER down" can't even be counted.
