i am very creeped out because tonight i have discovered that many people on the fanwebs are comfortable making apologies for fascism to put a character in a more positive light.

it’s like, ok, i know we were just talking about a cartoon, but put that on pause a sec and tell me that you know…

Maybe Tavros is Hussie’s insert representing fandom as far as giving Vriska a pass goes.

“See how spineless and painfully horrible you’re being just because you like this chick?”

“Now put on some goddamn pants!!”

FUCK

SO MUCH YES. and add on a mean little edge of vindication because this is the vriska i get flamed on tumblr for describing. right there where everyone can see her operating.

MAYBE NOW IT’LL BE SAFE TO WRITE HER AGAIN WITHOUT BEING HASSLED TOO EXCESSIVELY.

nah of course i’ll still get hassled excessively, people who don’t know the difference between “i really feel  drawn to this character” and “this character is a good person” are going to read these updates and say “vriska is only doing what she’s forced to do to save the universe, bluh bluh huge exploited baby lamb”

hehehehehehe. GO, HUSSIE, GO! RUSTLE OUR JIMMIES LIKE YOU’VE NEVER RUSTLED THEM BEFORE!

#1. Someone who knows Vriska finally called her the FUCK out. That hasn’t happened since Karkat was putting together their sGRUB team. I don’t mind sharing that I was getting MIGHTY BORED with her unchallenged GR8TNESS schtick. Since her death she’s blathered about changing so much but we only saw her with Tavros, (who has with this update officially fallen to the bottom of my ‘favorite kitty’ list with his cringing, servile bullshit) and John, who likes her because she is funny and brave but has never seen her operate. Getting constant passes for how she treats others is sort of her Thing, yeah, but it was way tired before act 5.2. It’s refreshing to have someone recognize in her the failings that I get yelled at by her creepier fans when I point them out.

#2. The person doing the calling out was the one guy left alive in the universe whose beef with Vriska is legitimate AND completely unmitigated by circumstances, and who has never gotten any recognition whatsoever for the legitimacy of his complaint. I have been wishing he’d tell her off since Hivebent was still going, but I had given up hope because Hussie does not like giving Sollux airtime (too hot for the internet, etc) unless he is bleeding from somewhere or fixing a computer.

#3. VRISKA’S BULLSHIT WAS NOT MIRACLE HEALED BEHIND THE SCENES. SHE IS THE SAME DESPICABLE ASSHOLE WE ALL KNOW AND HATELOVE, AND NOW I CAN REST ASSURED THAT THIS IS NOT JUST MY PREJUDICE, BUT ACTUALLY SOMETHING OBSERVED BY OTHER PEOPLE WITHIN THE STORY. SERIOUSLY, RIGHT THERE IN THE DIALOGUE SHE’S DOING THE SAME SHIT SHE ALWAYS DID, BUT FOR ONCE IN THE GODDAMN STORY HER BLUSTER GETS A ‘WHATEVER’ FROM THE PERSON SHE’S TALKING TO.

#4. TWO WHATEVERS. IN A ROW. LOOK AT THAT BLISTERING CONTEMPT. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT HEALS MY POOR HEART TO SEE SOMEONE COOPERATE WITH HER PLAN FOR THE GREATER GOOD BUT NOT LET BYGONES BE BYGONES? FUCKING INCREDIBLE.

#5 Twofold eyepatches. (Back to the red/blue thing are we? Guess that plan to ditch his gimmick didn’t take.) 

#6. Sollux is somehow even more impatient and irritable than ever. Look at dat 1-pixel scowl! But when he throws his nasty attitude at John, who has been SUCH a crotch recently, it becomes a thing of pure beauty.

#7. HE DID NOT DIE AGAIN AND IS NOW CLEARED TO SURVIVE TIL THE TREASURE IS FOUND. I SMELL CLIMACTIC BATTLE WITH VRISKA TELEPATHICALLY GUIDING THE LASERS. THAT IS A GOOD WAY TO DIE MOTHERFUCKERS. A DAMN GOOD WAY TO DIE.

#8. Captor did you seriously just go and change your fucking quirk AGAIN boy? I am 222% done keeping track of this shit, if you’re just going to switch it up every time you open your yap or type something you can just kiss canon compliant fanfic quirks goodbye mister i’m not even—.

#9. Yeah i’m just kidding, it’s awesome.

#10. It’s all awesome. Everything is awesome. Favorite update, best characters, most horrible people and they all get a hug that lasts forever.

#11. Except Tavros. (shakes head sadly)

I was going to go to bed like an hour earlier, but then this. OTL;; I drew The Mitunas

yeah that pretty much rules. portraying him in controlled scribbles totally sums up the chaos of the character himself.

god i love chaos.

So.

Pages are full of uNTAPPED POTENTIAL, mentioned ten pages after Tavros showed up and committed to fighting the game?

And that sure seemed like a wwhale of a comment about watching out for the Hope class. It doesn’t feel like a callback to Eridan’s flipout, either. These things always double up.

I smell something biiiig coming. HOMESTUCK.

Not only full of, pretty much are. Which is Tavros in a nutshell, really.

I have a funny feeling about this information all supposedly coming from Jake’s own mind.

of course, knowing homestuck, we won’t get even a teaser hint back to this information for another hundred pages, and it’ll be five hundred before we actually see it in play.

I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT TAVROS AND ERIDAN WILL ACHIEVE FROM BEYOND THE POTIONPILE.

I’ve been thinking this a lot since act 6.2 started, like…

You know how Hussie largely skipped the actual Game for the previous two sessions for a reason other than to get the plot over with? That never seemed right to me, and I think his instincts are mostly dead on.

You control John exploring LOWAS, watch Dave grinding on LOHAC, Jade breeding frogs on LOFAF. You see a snapshot of Tavros solving a puzzle in the game, Vriska and Tavros exploring and getting treasure, people traveling around and building their homes up and using powers from the game, etc. All in fast-forward. We don’t even see the final battle of the Troll session.

But then the Alpha session begins, and everything slows down to regular speed. We SOLVE A PUZZLE as Jane after we follow her into the Medium. We learn the lore of her game world. Nothing gets skipped over there. 

So, what I’m thinking is, maybe this is the session where it everyone whips out their actual game abilities and Zerg rushes this bitch and we as the audience finally see the Game really getting played. 

That would be so cool.
