Vriska buying wholesale into ARquius's muscletouching. Corrupted by Lord English confirmed??? e: Arsenic Lupin posted:Spotted multiple times by Tumblrites: Vriska's pose and language are identical to Aranea's reactions to Gamzee once upon a time. As much as I love Aranea as a character, I genuinely don't see at what juncture she could have replaced Vriska, and for nobody to notice. But... It would explain why she's viewing Dirk as a villain. She could be flying off to check on her captive Serket. She could be running Seer interference, hence why Rose couldn't see Rosesprite coming. Oh god, I have a problem.

Note that the Beta kids are derived from mix-ups of the appropriately-colored Alpha kids' DNA, but the Alpha kids aren't derived from the Beta kids, and are instead paradox clones of themselves.

I'm pretty sure Vriska's speech to Jape is all Vriska and not something Aranea would have ever said.

Yeah, Aranea liked Jake. Didn't let it stop her from using him like a meat puppet for her own ends, but...you know. Serkets.

WAR FOOT posted:Vriska buying wholesale into ARquius's muscletouching. I could definitely see Vriska checking in with Aranea and listening to her poo poo and relaying everything to ruin poo poo, complete with Aranea insisting Rose is going to gently caress things up by assuming Strider is a good guy but DON'T BELIEVE THE LIES DON'T LET HER etc. I mean, it'd make sense why she didn't broadcast meeting her Dancestor when everyone else had a picture with their own. It's more plausible than "Aranea and Vriska somehow managed to jack their mind control up to insane levels and Hussie decided to drop the Scorpio symbol shorthand because plot", and actually fits both their MOs (control freak, gullible control freak)

Long after the comic has ended (lol) and Hussie has declared that yes, Aranea was killed forever by her fall into the firepit, after the human race is extinguished by the coming meteors, after the heat death of the universe, I will still believe she's not out for the count. Just because no character has caused as much 'he's going to retcon it, right?? RIGHT???? ' in a fanbase.

Pretty much all of her evil chicanery came from thinking she knew better than other people about what was good for them. I can't imagine her telling someone that it's not worth trying to grow as a person, even if she hated them. It would be like Vriska letting someone think they'd made a fool of her—even if it moved her closer to her goals, it would be completely out of character.

I can only image an Aranea/Vriska collaboration in the post-retcon story would end with Vriska getting brutally, possibly literally, backstabbed. Because, yknow, Mindfang.

Also the reason Vriska likes ARquiussprite is because it's a white, long haired, dirty-wifebeater wearing, musclemale. Just like her hero, Cameron Poe. paranoid randroid posted:I can only image an Aranea/Vriska collaboration in the post-retcon story would end with Vriska getting brutally, possibly literally, backstabbed. Because, yknow, Mindfang. How would that not be an accurate conclusion to her character? Meenah and Weenie Vriska: Stay away from Aranea, she's bad business. Cool Vriska: gently caress you!!!!!!!! Cool Vriska: *gets backstabbed.* Vriska getting literally stabbed in the back by someone she considered an ally should be a universal constant.

I don't think there would be an actual, according to Hoyle, stabbing of backs, as Aranea has not demonstrated that she has any swords suitable for the activity. However she does have a bunch of mind controlled Damaras on retainer and Vriska does have a notably low Being Psychically Smacked Around Resistance attribute. I'm predicting a %10 chance of villainous monologues.

While it's unlikely, I tend to think Aranea hosed things up so John would get off his rear end and exploit his new powers.

Bell_ posted:Until Condy showed up and Aranea panicked and flailed poo poo everywhere, I thought the point made was that Her Imperious Condescension was NOT the same Troll her former bestie was, anymore than she was Mindfang herself. Vriska and Aranea got into character, and while Aranea had amazing psychic powers, Vriska's circumstances led her to being a lot closer to the Marquis than Aranea ever got. I would unironically adore a scene where someone tries to give a heartfelt "You became the villain, and sacrificed yourself so as to start a fire under the true heroes!" style speech. Like, way to Lelouch it. Only to have whichever Serket is in closest proximity shoot down how bullshit stupid that is, and that Aranea just wanted to be the big important star.

There's a few little things going on in this update but none of them matter in the face of Dave's rampant mom-lust. Good thing he's probably with Karkat, don't think the world's ready for the mother-lovers reenactment that would occur if Dave hooked up with Jane while John and Roxy are a thing. They'd be each others' step-dads.
