So I'm finally drawing about my love triangle HC. SkekSo being narcissic, aro and a jerk, he gives 0 shit about anyone even less SkekVar but he still trusts him, knowing he is stupid and adores him and loves him, and thus uses him using the pretext of loyality for telling his secrets knowing he won't vetray him, do things for him and even fuck him when he's needy. He never lies to him that he loves him or something but SkekVar being hopelessly in love with him he is too stupid to realize he has no chance nor tgat he is used, and so remains hopeful and hopes that either he will love him back someday if he is loyal enough to him or that if he never does that he could at least let him adore him and protect him. And with that, he has no idea his friend SkekZok is secretly in love with him but he is too prideful to admit even to himself that he, the Ritual Master, can feel more than lust for anyone, and knows he adores the Emperor anyway so for millenia he kept telling himself it could pass with time, to just be friends or to tolerate him, and acted very sarcastic, mean and annoyed at him as a way to try to push him away, yet his stupidity is unfortunately a reason of why he finds him cute ; but since SkekVar is stupid and notices nothing and that SkekZok keeps it secret anyway, he keeps getting friendzoned (and had it not been SkekSo, he would have actually made sure the rival would have vanished and thus with LOTS of suffering and then maybe tried his chance. But all Skeksis are terrified of the Emperor and submissive to him so he never would. So sometimes he sighs "why did it have to be HIM...")
