Sollux is the Trolls’ resident hacker/computer wiz/depressed kid they can blame anything on.
Before the actual plot started taking place, he played a part in the clusterfuck that was Vriska being a huge bitch while FLARPing. After Vriska threw Tavros off a cliff, Aradia wanted to get revenge, so she made the ghosts of Vriska’s previous victims haunt her. Then, someone speaking in white text, who we later learn is Doc Scratch, tells Vriska to kill Aradia to get the ghosts to fuck off. So Vriska used her manipulative powers to get Sollux to eat some mind honey and vaporize Aradia for her. And then Terezi decides to get involved and convinces Doc Scratch to make Vriska’s/his magic cue ball explode, making her lose one seven of her eyes and her arm. And then Vriska decides to get her back for that and she manipulates Tavros to talk to Terezi’s Lusus using his animal-talking-to-powers to communicate with Terezi in a dream, to make her walk outside during the day and stare at the sun until she goes blind. After that, they finally decide it’s gone a bit far and call a truce. While Sollux never personally talks about being part of this tornado of wtf and death, it probably didn’t help his depression any.
Granted, it’s mostly his fault in this case. Mostly. He helped Aradia figure out what in the hell Sburbgrub was and convinced the other 10 to play with them. So he comes up with this cockamamie plan where there’s two competing teams playing against each other so that one of them can win and save the world, but then they figure out they’re all playing together, so it’s actually the 12 of them and Sollux brings up the rear and enters the Medium last. Or at least that’s the plan. In reality, he ended up being second-to-last because Feferi was waiting on him so her Lusus wouldn’t kill all the trolls in the galaxy. He doesn’t quiiite make it in time before that happens, though, and he ends up dead. And Karkat cries bitch tears. And Fef kisses him. And gets one of his dream-selves to take over that whole “living” thing for him instead.
All the Trolls manage to make it to the relative safety of the lab they’re all hanging out in where they. Troll people. Sollux is a total stick in the mud about it, however, and never directly talks to any of the kids. After Aradia’s robot body explodes, he mostly hangs out on Gamzee’s horn pile (don’t laugh it’s not funny) with Feferi talking about ~feelings~ with each other.
And then I’m guessing a combination of cabin fever and the fact that they were all a little loopy to begin with makes everyone basically lose their shit. Eridan goes on a mini killing spree and blinds Sollux in the process because he fucking can, Gamzee’s sober and is walking around generally being FUCKING HORRIFYING while honking, and the body count is almost at Clue-levels at this point. Karkat decides the best way to deal with this isn’t curling into a ball on the floor and crying until death comes for him, and (literally) drags Sollux along for the ride. And then he trips down a flight of stairs because he has all the grace of a gorilla and knocks the poor kid’s teeth out. And then tries to put them back, A+ for effort. Once he wakes up, he starts typing like Aradia, with the 0’s for O’s now that he’s lost his lisp and asks Terezi to teach him how to smell colors and taste the rainbow all the way across the sky and all that kinda crazy crap she gets away with all the time.
