Equiara

Equiara is the het ship between Equius Zahhak and Aradia Megido from the Homestuck fandom.

Canon
Equius has an obsessed crush on Aradia before Sgrub. He feels torn about this crush because she is of a much lower blood caste than him, contradicting his casteist beliefs. He is tasked with creating a robot body for her when the game. He gives it indigo blood so that they will be equal in caste. He also programs the robot to have romantic feelings for him. When Aradia finds this out, she is disgusted, ripping the robotic heart out of her body. She beats Equius up, and then kisses him. It's unknown if the latter was influenced by her programming or not. They appear to have started some sort of romantic relationship after this. Much later in the Ministrife, Aradia says that it was a mistake for her to kiss him and she never should have done it.

Fanon
Equiara is not a very well-received ship by the fandom. Most find Equius' casteist beliefs offputting, and his programming of Aradiabot to have feelings for him to be gross. They are rivaled by the more popular ships Equinep and Arasol. In the 2010s, the "Equiara hate anon", a person who was sending fans of the ship anonymous hate messages, became an infamous figure on Tumblr -- some may ship Equiara partially out of spite for this person.
