I think it will result in a failure to destroy the Condesce, a few deaths that Jane will have to reverse, and a regrouping with Spades Slick and the two Becs having joined the heroes' side in time for round 2. Union Jack I'm not sure of.

JT Jag posted:You can make your own ringtone out of an MP3 on your phone now if you're willing to spend the 10 seconds. The problem with ringtones is that you gradually start to hate whatever piece of music you picked, especially if you also use it for your alarm clock - which, since you usd to like it enough to make it your ringtone in the first place, is a real shame. Alas, poor Casino Night (Modern Mix)...

glowing-fish posted:Ringtones are kind of off, because they peaked around...2005, and I think that with the advent of smart phones, they became less popular? So for many readers of Homestuck, ringtones would be like...cassette tapes were to someone born in 1985. I missed that this update confirms that Vriska likes Vriskarock more than Cobalt Thief. Also, Vriska's Theme was released over 4 years ago. jetz0r fucked around with this message at 09:29 on Jul 7, 2015 |

Vriska set her own ringtone on Tavros' phone. She never calls him except when she's around him to make sure he hasn't changed it.

Well would you look at that, Vriska is being a jerk, who'd have guessed. I object to the fact that this is a good element in her plan: what is the advantage of keeping the guy with god powers asleep, exactly? He's out of your hair, but since he's firmly on your side, unlike his (Tavros) counterpart, he could be a valuable asset... if she didn't decide to give said catgod powers to the guy who's allergic to cats.

I think the comic is kinda exciting at the moment. We know we're in the drawn-out preparation phase of the final showdown, but so much game-changing stuff is happening on an almost daily basis that its almost impossible to guess how it will all play out, how it will go wrong, and how it will all turn out. I mean, when vriska was allocating everyone their roles we thought things were all cleanly planned out and ready to fail, but since then we've had jarosesprite^2, gcatavrosprite, the return of nepeta, and nannasprite x2. Whats next? Who wants to gamble on whether or not spades slick will merge with nepetasprite, giving spapetasprite control of the felt and bringing them into the army of good?

Okay, I drop my objection, though I do wonder if Tavros could contrast her animal communion powers with his own. It's a possibility but not one I would test given the circumstances. And I mantain that it's a dick move! SyntheticPolygon posted:Also now Jake is alone in the battle against robo-Slick and the Felt. This seems like an obvious mistake, even more so than the usual mistakes in Serket-plots. This would be a great time for Jake to get all Hoped up and show what he's capable of, if only his present state of mind wasn't pretty much the opposite of Hope, isn't it.

Here's my objection: why fuse Tavros and Gcat at all? Tavros could have just used his animal communing powers to put the cat to sleep. That would have had the same results, the only thing fusing them did was allow Vriska to be the center attention by using her powers instead of letting Tavros use his.

The answer is because only an idiot would rely on Tavros to act in a useful manner of his own volition. This is the most useful and relevant Tavros has ever been, and potentially ever will be. Frankly, I feel sorry for Gcat.

SyntheticPolygon posted:Vriska may also know about what happened since she seems to know a lot about how poo poo will go down in this session and what went wrong at Game Over. Though, whoever her source is also told her about stuff that didn't happen in the retjohned timeline such as Slick and the Felt showing up so maybe she got the details from another doomed timeline or something.

King of Solomon posted:While she may not have shared the exact details of her plans with them, she almost certainly consulted with Terezi and Rose. Rose, being a God Tier Seer of Light (and also sober this time around), could probably see what they're up against if nothing else. What makes you think Vriska consulted with anyone? I'm 100% sure she did all this planning and plotting and scheming herself, because she's Vriska of course she's not going to seek help or think that anyone's advice could improve her own plans.

Vriska has actively worked with people before, or at least (Vriska) did with Aranea. There's also Terezi on occasion, so Vriska isn't her own island.

Vriska, Terezi and Rose have said that they all helped work on the plan, I believe. I do think it's possible that this is another thing she "forgot" to tell them about, hence why she did it only when Tavros was relatively isolated. Also LOL @ tumblr reviving the Vriska Is Secretly Aranea theory again because of her "suspiciously short looking hair " and that obviously OOC smile. God drat.

It's a possibility but not one I would test given the circumstances. Come to think of it, since Tavros is a troll, the Condesce could actually exert more control over him than she could over Jade. Even if he could cancel out her brown powers with his, she could just take control of him with cerulean powers and make him stop. quote:And I mantain that it's a dick move!

Virska is actually Aranea who was actually controlled BY Vriska from this retconned time line as part of her first gambit to both discredit her loser self, give her other loser ancestor a backbone, and attempt to be the most important person by proxy. There Vriska is now Hitler. You're all welcome.

the obvious solution to tavros's situation is to have rose use her black belt in wikipedia to look up the mechanisms behind allergic reactions so he can know to use his first guardian powers to spacey-thing the histamines out of his weird ghost body

(it just made him inoffensively awful) hes mentally ill, or possibly mind controlled literally all the time, but please do not medicate him even though he has been shown to react well to the treatment. it is wrong to treat the mentally ill, or possibly mind controlled. e. the central thing i see a lot of is that gamzee's interaction with lil cal on the meteor means hes being controlled by LE. but honestly, given his general characterization as a religious zealot it seems more likely to me that it was a road to damascus moment. the thing inside the puppet spoke to him and, being partially composed of himself, revealed his true purpose to him. so of course hes fanatically devoted to the honking skull-monster. paranoid randroid fucked around with this message at 17:43 on Jul 7, 2015 |

I'm assuming Vriska plans for him to die, and then to mop up robo-Slick and the Felt when people are freed up from winning elsewhere. The other possibility is that she's practicing Vriska tough-love in hopes of getting his Hope power to work, which, Vriska.

A lot of people get really angry if you say Gamzee is mentally ill. Even if you point out that he referred to himself as being two people and wanted to murder literally every other living thing in sight for no reason and paint the walls with their blood and made out with a severed head. That's my interpretation as well. Gamzee flipped his poo poo before he met Lil Cal anyway, but I really don't think he needed to be controlled so much as just have certain things revealed to him. Didn't he also go mental and kill everyone in a doomed timeline without Lil Cal doing anything? Nephthys fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Jul 7, 2015 |

I have also seen people saying "Actually, Eridan only killed one people that stayed dead, and Feferi attacked him, so he's not THAT big a monster", ignoring that Eridan had no intention that either Sollux or Kanaya would survive those attacks. Basically, Eridan looks great and is lonely, ergo his murders don't count.
