You Are Sad, Take This

You are sad, take this

Soo, Eris and Drifter. I see them as the perfect power couple, and I figured I'd make a post on why I ship these two so powerfully and what I believe to be evidence of them being more than just friends.

Let's dive in.

1. For starters, their constant flirting;

The Drifter: Ooh! I like listenin' to you talk.

Eris Morn: And I enjoy your silence.

The Drifter: You talk a big game about how much I irritate you, but you keep callin'.

Eris Morn: Watch yourself, Rat.

The Drifter: You know I always do.

and ofc, the Drifter attempting to get Eris to eat dinner with him throughout the Eidolon Pursuant lore ;)

2. The slow growth between Eris and Drifter that is not seen between either of them with any other character.

3. Eris, a person who has made it clear by idle voice lines that she is not fond of physical touch, has touched the Drifter/allowed him to touch her. She has even allowed the Drifter to hug her, and has willingly took his hand :')

4. The Drifter, a man whose trust in others had been broken, is finally beginning to trust in someone again, even enough to tell her about his past.

"That's not my name," he said at last.

"That is what you let them call you."

It was a small link to his past. A link to a life he had picked for himself. He nodded slowly, holding her gaze. He would let her call him that too.

5. They have both experienced their own traumas, and in turn they are able to relate with one another on a level that others can't.

6. The Drifter calling Eris 'Moonlight', I believe, shows how Eris has become the light of life, his reason to hope in the future.

7. Where once the Drifter had planned to run out of the system at the first sign of danger, he has now decided to stay, because of Eris.

"So this is where you wish to be," she said cautiously. "At the end of all things?"

"Nowhere else."

"No more schemes to leave Sol?"

He was quiet for a moment, then shook his head, smirking. "Nah," he said, and looked into her eyes. "I'd miss the moonlight."

And these are just a few examples of them, their depth, and how they interact with one another in ways that they don't interact with other's, pointing to something more between them.

If y'all have anything else to add, or just wanna discuss anything to do with these two, feel free to comment ;)

and remember....

"we'll live in the night if we have to. We do it for what comes after."

And if y'all have any specific art prompts that come to mind, reply to this message as well (I would especially love some lovey dovey prompts) 🥰

Hehe :3

hehe... I rigged it ;)

What other ships were you in to?

I had been into the Kylo Ren and Rey ship from Star Wars for a bit, the Loki and Sylvie ship from the Loki show a little, and then I also shipped Kind Sombra with Radiant Hope from My Little Pony... There may be more, but I don't remember lol, I had actually forgotten some of these until a friend brought them up a while back 😂 Lol another one I just remembered, for like a second I was like, omg Shaxx x Mara hehehe... But yea, all these ships ended up fading for me after a bit unlike Eris and Drifter hehe 🙃

It's like, some of them felt too forced I guess... Like, Kylo and Rey, or Loki and Sylvie, it felt too rushed and kinda silly with the romance (I mean, at the time I didn't think so lol, I was just like "omg they love each other soooo much hehe") but now looking back at it I'm like, ehh there's not much making these characters and their romance really stand out, y'know? Absolutely not dissing on anyone who does like these ships, this is just my personal opinion ofc, and who knows... maybe I'm a lil biased cause I can't give away any attention from my fav ship ever... Drifteris

Lol but yea, those are some of the other silly lil ships I had been into :))
