i dont claim to know what the frick hussie was going for with eridan's voice but like. i know most people assume british because of some of the slang he uses but i always always think reconstruction south! bc like. wwavvy soundin accent you know, casual unpretentious drawl on an obscenely pretentious (elitist. RACIST) guy. plus like. hatred of landdwellers as the failed southern secession, eridans genocide complex as post-civil war racial violence, seadweller nostalgia about """returning to old ways""" since apparently eridan and equius's level of hemospectral prejudice is widely seen as outdated, they feel insulted by the fact that LANDDWELLERS KINDA SORTA have rights. and theres the fact that landdwellers arent really safe anywhere but theyre especially unsafe near the oceans ASIDE FROM government officials i mean subjugglators, theyre allowed, they even keep seadwellers in check like eridan and cronus seem p wary of gamzee and kurloz. the whole old south pining nostalgia bullshit was all about seeming robbed of dignity, modest and victimized and romantic and that's sssso much of how eridan talks IDK DOES ANY OF THIS MAKE SENSE
