thinkgin about nepeta and equius. how even if their relationship was by no means perfect or even healthy a lot of the time they still fucking loved each other. how the rogue of heart brought the heir of voids soul to the forefront, how she made him more than nothing but a cog in the empires machine. forced him to question forced him to feel and to talk about his feelings.
what could she have done. for the equiuses splintered across her reality. the ones changed into something else. ultimately? nothing.
nepeta was never meant to be a hero even if she wished she could. she wished she couldve helped karkat she wished she couldve changed equius's mind she even wished that, maybe, if she did flarp after all, she couldve somehow saved aradia.
its not all sunshine and rainbows. equius is so so so so indoctrinated and controlling. but god. god. the thing with nepeta is that she can profoundly change people and help them become better she can offer the most sincere kindness and shes so lonely she had nothing to live for on alternia and she was so alone but it wasnt enough and grgehaghrh nepeta...
