Anyway, it still seems that there's going to be a Vriska/Caliborn or LE smackdown, since one other thing to keep in mind is that LE's overcoat appears to be a version of Vriska/Mindfang's pirate coat, and we have yet to see how that happens (apart from Kurloz stealing Vriska's coat in a prior brief flash).

Oh, I missed that! Nice catch.

Is that everything you have?

The funny part is Vriska thinking she's grown as a person, when in fact she's literally the same rear end in a top hat she's always been. The only difference is people either don't engage her or know how to shut her down (see: Egbert PUNCH), which I guess leads her to believe she's somehow less of a contentious jerk.

Meenah appears to still be a bit of a jerk too, based on what I think is about to happen!

Meenah's always been a jerk, we just give her a pass because her inclusion and continued relevance keeps literally every person born under Pisces from complaining about Hussie victimizing them personally through Feferi's lack of screen time.

Oh yeah, I did have that in mind while I was catching up on the thread, but the posts supporting Vriska tearing someone down for literally zero valid reason bored me into forgetting all about it by the time I got to the end.

Because folks who understand how interpersonal relationships work know that now isn't exactly the best time. Like, at least give (Vriska) some time to cool off from this encounter.

I skimmed those pages the first time and couldn't make myself read them closely the second time. Just *ouch*. Not because I identify with Vriska, but because that kind of emotional cruelty is hard to watch.

When I was watching the upd8, as opposed to the Vriska, tag on Tumblr, most of the posts I saw were "oh, my God, that hurt"; there were very few "How dare Hussie defame Vriska like that?!?!?" posts.

It's because this is a really bad time for it to happen. Meenah probably should have had the talk that's coming with (Vriska) a while ago if she was bored with the relationship, but it's too late and now (Vriska) is in a very emotionally vulnerable state after that savage verbal assault and battery Vriska committed and Meenah breaking up with her is gonna put (Vriska) over the edge in a real bad way, which is a super hosed up thing to do.

Well, if Meenah agrees to be relevant and cool, she might not have that time? Besides, it's better to have no comfort than someone who clearly does not want to be comforting you.

Yeah, dumping someone after their alternate universe self just tore into them is...pretty lovely.

Like, imagine (to make it less Homestuck) a sibling or close friend just tore into you, ripping at all your flaws and all the things you were most insecure about, and just completely DUMPS on you.

And then your girlfriends like "Yeah we should see other people BYE 38D"

Like goddamn.
That is a brutal 1-2 punch.

Like, 90% chance Meenah is going to tell (Vriska) to shove off, immediately after her getting savagely run down. She's probably going to do it to run off with a more idealized, skinnier version of Vriska, the same person that just ran her down like it was her loving job. This is in response to the egregious faux pas of being content.

Yea, no, this isn't a dick move at all!

Edit: I mean even if you don't want to date her, she's still presumably your friend.

Adding on to that. Just sitting by and thinking of dolphins while somebody rants at your girlfriend about being an awful person who deserves to be dead and is an insult to her own persona, is kind of a dick move. Even if you are thinking of breaking up with her.

Though if anything I think Meenah will fork both these Vriskas, or only tag along with alive Vriska long enough to get to a place where things are happening before forking her.

I doubt this is exactly what will happen but I would honestly find it very fitting if Gamzee ends up doing Vriska in. He's the Most Important Character In Homestuck™ in spite of how much Vriska vies to attain that title.

I think if Karkat started to tear into himself like this and his past/future/alternate self folded like a wet napkin, he'd probably pull up pretty quick. Karkat's arguments with himself always seem like both Karkats cathartically beating themselves up via... well, beating themselves up. For all his bluster about how past/future him is terrible, he's not fooling anyone or even himself. The difference is here Vriska's trying to externalize any doubts or weaknesses into (Vriska) and violently dissociate herself - there's nothing wrong with her, everything bad is part of this other Vriska, whom she'll surely never become.

It's crazy, I really thought Vriska was going to turn out to be the better of the two since she'd karma houdini'd her way out of culpability for the mass ghost double-murder and had a few years of Terezi's moirailship to settle her down. We used to give (Vriska) flack for constantly throwing away any progress she made as a character, making the same old mistakes, but that's nothing compared to how little Vriska learned.

If Meenah really does dump (Vriska) and fly off with Vriska that's crushing. (Vriska)'ll probably take it as validation that everything Vriska said was true, because it caused her to get dumped.
