Yeah, I understand that, I'm highlighting (or trying to) the possibility that it's a joke on the ambiguity. So, is the shitty grammar on purpose? Or is just shitty grammar?

It's only ambiguous if you're being a tool, we all know which Texas they mean.
There's also nothing wrong with the grammar. At absolute worst, saying "fuck with" to mean "have sex with" instead of "mess with" is atypical, but hardly grammatically broken.

There's no need to make this personal. And for all I know the grey-haired character could have some sort of problem with the state of Texas and the joke is the difference between the meaning of the same sentence. I thought it was a possibility because there'd be more of a point with the picture this way, other than just two characters expressing lust for a third one.

I think there is. To "fuck with" specifically means, even according to current-year dictionaries like Merriam-Webster: 1: "to handle or play with (something) carelessly, to treat (someone) wrongly" 2: "to deal with (someone) in a way that may cause anger or violence" And nothing about sex. To "fuck" as in "to have sex with" does not need prepositions like "with", because it's a transitive verb (unless it's to modify the way you do things, but I doubt this is about fucking a third person with Texas like she's a sexual aid). You wouldn't "kick with a ball". And for linguistic purposes we really don't need to make this simple phrase more ambigious, it's fine the way it is. There are already many ways and euphemisms with which to say you want to have sex with someone, it's not necessary to mess up this phrase just to have one more, or to "protect" people who simply made a grammatical mistake.
You're correct about the definitions, but you're also making it out to be a bigger deal then necessary. You don't need to dump a dictionary entry on someone who clearly knows the difference to make your point.
It's easy to tell which Texas they're talking about simply by applying Occam's razor. An image about Arknights is most likely going to refer to the character, not the state. If they were talking about the state, they would make it obvious in the next panel (basically a bait_and_switch). It would only be legitimately confusing for those that don't know anything about the game, and those people are not the intended audience.
That said, I think the joke would have more impact if Sora was on the right, so her line is read last. Or it could be changed to "I want to mess with Texas" (like the phrase "Don't mess with Texas") and still retain its meaning.

Hey, I'm not the one resorting to name-calling. Though I do admittedly really hate linguistic erosion.

I'm not familiar with Arknights. And, still, the meaning of "fuck with" can be intended to be different for either character. The grey-haired one certainly looks ready to pull a mean-spirited prank of some sort.

Let's be honest, Angela is the kind of girl who'd be both happy and frustrated at turning human because on the one hand, she gets to enjoy the pleasures of the flesh for the first time (drinking, sex and whatnot), but on the other hand, it'd mean Roland and his Color Fixer stamina would start to outlast her.
Personally I just wanna see someone draw her and Roland cuddling when she finally starts to require proper sleep for the first time.

Considering Epi was ridden by Ikkun IRL just like his dam, I'd say yes.
In fact I'm not sure why the main story hasn't already confirmed that already, along with Justa, Wagnerian, and last but not least, Contrail
Considered how emotionally attach Yuichi Fukunaga is to Epiphaneia. Team Ascella Story boutta be lit. Also i love how he complains that Uma Musume Epiphaneia titties being smaller than he expected is funny as fuck

I thought he was referring to her size in general, not her booba
very well done!! I love the fact that that every one of them has a unique look instead of being identical! Thought N's eyes look a little strange ? Dunno if it's just me.
