#suffpsi

Believe it or not, this took me TWO WEEKS to draw. It’s called “Couples and Spies” (for obvious reasons).SuffPsi and CroTuna are the couples. The spies are Sollux, Karkat, and Eridan.

They don’t need mementos or proclamations of their sentiments.  What they have is visceral.  He knew since the moment he saw him that he would be with him until his dying day.  He felt it, a visceral need to be with him, not only to travel with him but to protect him–from not only their high caste persecutors but from himself.  The Signless need only touch him to defuse the frantic crackle of energy that threatens to burn him up.  The Psiionic has never known the peace of a completely blank mind until the Signless whispered into it a soft unassuming all-encompassing, “shoosh” and the noise, the constant distortion, fizzled.  A clear signal, at last, one that broadcasts straight to him, his moirail, through time and space, from one timeline to the next, until his descendant feels it.

bad things that karkat has done to sollux:

ran a code that sollux told him not to that killed everyones lusus 

was literally the only host player to kill his server before entering the game

just like??? stood there as feferi and kanaya and sollux were all attacked

left a recently-blinded sollux alone and ran away when he heard a honk

good things that karkat has done for sollux:

??????

tried to carry him when he was unconscious but threw him down the stairs and knocked out all his teeth??

bad things kankri has done to mituna:

everything

good things kankri did for mituna:

nothing

bad things the signless did for psiioniic:

convinced him to run away from slavery only to get him enslaved again for much, much longer under the most powerful troll in the universe for thousands of sweeps

idk can it really get much worse than that

good things the signless did for the psiioniic:

a few sweeps of friendship and freedom ?

an almost revolution???

let me explain why

signless convinced psiioniic to run from his slave master. when they got captured, everyone else was lucky enough to be killed but he was stuck as a slave for centuries afterwards. there’s literally no question about it. the psiioniic had it much worse than signless, and a majority (if not all) of his suffering was caused by him.

y’all dont think?? for a minute?? that CENTURIES of manipulation from highbloods and hic HERSELF convincing psiioniic that signless left him here, that this was all his fault, and that he should have never joined the rebellion wouldn’t get to him?? like at least a little bit?

after his torture the signless was killed almost immediately. do you really believe someone who went through thousands of years of physical and mental abuse would feel the same way about the people who left him there? especially knowing that the disciple was alive and never came to save him (and tbh there’s no way hic didn’t rub it in his face that no one attempted to come help him when he gave up everything for them??)

remember when i said i’d plotted a fucked-up ancestor au

“Gifted with psychic power beyond compare, the whispers of the horrorterrors, the voices of the damned, visions of doom, and a budding friendship with Death Herself, the Psiioniic will stop at nothing to keep his family safe.

Including betraying them to hell and back.”
