god i love datin sims and rom coms and shoujo manga and every piece of romance media created
Thinking about how Tavros' animal communion powers might have made it really easy to get by compared to other trolls, at least before Vriska fucked him over
Maybe that's why he chose to live in a highblood area and make FLARP one of his hobbies, he didn't have many reasons to fear for his safety back then
I mean, most trolls are implied to not have psychic powers or if they do, they're not as op as the beta trolls. They would depend on their lusii and battle prowess more than anything and it would be dumb to go against a guy that could potentially turn your lusus against you. In that scenario Tavros would be pretty much in the clear from most of the dangers of Alternia and only get in fights he seeked out himself
the irony of tavros is that hes actually incredibly powerful but because that power has afforded him the freedom to NOT have his psyche devoured by the horrors of alternia that has turned him into the single "softest" member of the group. i genuinely think this is part of why vriska has so many emotions directed at him in particular- she's jealous and bitter that he is ALLOWED to be a weak nice cowardly guy who likes to play games just for fun and has a good relationship with his tiny harmless lusus. the fact that he was ALLOWED to live like that is living proof that her experiences and suffering werent NECESSARY or Just How The World Works. so she HAS to put tavros through the wringer to force him to "toughen up" because clearly EVERYONE HAS TO GO THROUGH THAT because otherwise her entire worldview and coping mechanisms for her horrible horrible childhood all fall apart
