Heheh, yeah, I give Eridan a hard time. But that’s only because of all the main trolls, he’s the most irredeemable.

Except for a half-helping of closure that happens well after the fact, he’s unfailingly selfish. Even when he gave his gun to Jade, it was because he wanted her to get back at Rose. Gamzee snapped, and Vriska convinced herself she was working towards the greater good. Eridan’s eventual betrayal was the coldest, the most calculating.

But he’s one of my favorite characters. Why? Because almost every single one of his conversations with other people turn into absolute train wrecks. And it’s hilarious.

He always starts off with a massive chip on his shoulder, but ends up inadvertently outmaneuvered by whoever he’s talking to. For bonus points, try reading one of his pesterlogs in John Travolta’s voice, circa Welcome Back Kotter.
