Vriska Quarantine 7: 3/8 Spidertrolls Introduced

[colwag]

Well I'm having an entertaining glitch right now.

I see a second page, but when I click on it, I'm brought back to the first.

Maybe another post will fix this.

EDIT:

Theeeeeeeereeeeeeeee we go.

RacialNinja: That's a fun opinion. Heck, the reason I went so crazy is that I couldn't even find it awesomely tragic. Care to elaborate? Or not, that's fair enough.

[Dragonstorm]

Her death was awesomely tragic, but I still miss her. Conflicted

That's me as well. Except screw her being dead, I want her back.

uh
on the topic of vriska's death
did anyone else have the urge to stab terezi with a rusty fork
just out of curiosity

[Dmatix]

what do you do if it metaphorically rains metaphoric vriskafan rain
how does your metaphoric fire metaphorically thrive

Ah, but the answer is simple my dear man!
I carry an indifferent umbrella.

Cause it ninja'd me maybe? Im not sure, I guess it's awesome JUST CAUSE it's HER and it's HER death. Meaning everything about her is awesome, even her death, despite it's meaning and relevance.

@DragonStorm, yes, if she came back I'd be happy. Maybe, as a story reader, a bit disappointed? conflicted? Can't say unless it actually happens.

I was tempted to host a contest with a money prize going to who could produce the best Terezi being brutally murdered art possible.

But I calmed down since.

...not that I don't want to see it out of morbid curiosity but not so much a rampant desire to get onto Trollmegle as Vriska and haunt the fuck out of her.

what if the umbrella gains emotions like friendship

and the rocks steal your children

This topic needs more "I love Vriska and thought her death was fantastic and it'd be a shame to undo it by bringing her back." sorta fans.

I mean, there's more to her fanbase then just "I love her bring her back" and "I hate her kill her again." And the apathetic.

I want to see more of those "That death was awesome, and I am a Vriska fan" types.

They're

Interesting.

Yeah I was thinking about this earlier. "Her death was solid closure" is an opinion that's fun to know is completely wrong.

It's like the guy trying to tell me that the recent Roxy flash was somehow solid closure on Nepeta. huhwhat?

I was more like "oh no you B*tch, I take that back, but STILL ON NO YOU KILLED HER! POOR JOHN!! *reads rest of the pages of their conversations* *TEARS UP, ITS FOR THE BEST OF THE TROLLS....BUT NOOOOO!! NO BARD OF RAGE LEAVE HER BODY ALONE!! "

And so forth.

It only depends on the manner of execution. It can be a cop out, or not.

I've given up hope on it happening though.

Silly talk. Everyone knows umbrellas and rocks are mortal enemies since the Rock-Umbrella war of 89!
Never forgive,never forget.

I believe it's a distinct possibility of her coming back. Just cause she holds such a grip on the whole situation, even excluding her whole hand in the undoing of everything. She has a thing with john, she's a heavy hitter with her special move, which was by the way why I thought her death was awesome cause we saw her Ancestral Awakening, and Pirate Ancestor form. Too Epic.

I guess in some sense her death had a good close, in SOME sense, but at the same time, she herself had so much more to go through, and it's one of those, "you just gotta bring back" so of feel to it.

Also, her whole evil bitch, to anti-hero, to truly awesome anti-hero and lovable heroine sort of role was amazing. Like normally they die right when that happens, in a lot of stories, hence why her fans want her back, it's suppose to be like this. Like if a not so bad Villain moreso anti-hero sacrifices them self and dies, then you feel sad and shed a tear and wished they coulda lived out their goodness, but okay with their death. In this case, not her own choice but still justified and we still cry, but really REALLY want her back

Aww crap I was going to make the thread but the commute was so long.

I'm making Thread 8 then.

HOW DARE YOU TAKE SO LONG. Like, seriously. I filled half a page with Vriskathread Potential Titles. In fact, I'm already working on the titledump for Vriska Thread 8.

(I figure if I give out 200 suggestions for the next thread's title it'll make up for the fact that I can't arthunt for shit when everyone already has all the good art.)

And so forth.

i think gamzee's actually doing something else with the corpses
because like
you'd think he'd behead them or something
but hussie's mad majjyk skills
may do some other shennanigains

I'M SORRY!!!!!!!!
Jeez, give a gal a 8r8k!

(I had to. I seriously did)

We need an amazing title for #8.

maybe he's really doing a dance of majjyk to make them lifesplode and then sollux, gamzee, and vriska start a band with troll ozzy osbourne


we can all dream, can we not?

Meanwhile I'm here being robbed of any of the emotional impact of her death.

The fact that it felt so rushed and ham fisted, with the sudden passing on of her last weapons, inviting John to a date, seeing that last form and OH MAN SHE COULD HAVE WON YOU KNOW SHE IS JUST SO COOL and all that shit coming up at once made the whole death feel...sorta forced? It robbed the emotional impact of it from me because it felt so forced and cheesy. And also the layers of bullshit that were on top of it.

It was like if Hussie just said "Man this Vriska arc has sorta drug down the story. I kinda need to cut it down. SLICE." It was as if he just wanted to make her entire arc sorta pointless.

I mean, some people talk about how a revival makes the death look silly and pointless in retrospect, right? Why would a death that means the character accomplishes pretty much nothing not make their entire arc look pointless in retrospect too?

The death didn't make me sad. It made me sorta mad that a great character is wasted in such a shitty way.

Like I said, I got this. I mean, usually I just dump whatever comes to mind. But this time I'm actually thinking IN ADVANCE. Holy shit.

Fun Fact: Right now, Hussie is probably chuckling to himself, and he knows not why.

Maybe he intended it to just drop from the start? Like, make it intentionally abrupt and then just leave it be forever? Just to troll us forever.

The real strongest hope for Vriska coming back is the gigantic shitstorm it'd cause.

I mean really Kanaya had a better death than Vriska and hers got undone. >:T

Then again I can't think of a non comedic way to die that'd be worse than Vriska's.

[radicalNinja]

I was more caught into the story and her change that the death was sorta a surprise for me. (thats how you know shit is good, too focused to focus) And Yes, I see your point exactly, a wasteful death and such. I also believe in what you said about Hussie's intentions.

"Vriska, since you got SO much face time, time to end it, but PERMANENTLY *kills off*" and this was more notable with the Epic rare 5x Showdown. Like, Vriska coulda be interrupted WITH that and thus keep her in the Picture.

But perhaps it's cause she was god tier that this happened, her Hubris getting her killed, despite it being justified. Terezi did what was right in my opinion.

I guess how it impacts you depends on the range of love, story love, character love and ect goes in. Cause I can emphasize with most arguments, thus why I'm so fence-sitter like. But I did think it was a good death, as it was dramatic, brief, and sad. Especially with all the shit afterwards, with the Pester Logs.

@ Just that guy:

Perhaps, we never know. Maybe, to add on to my words above this, it's just really her taking a break from the epic face time and ancestor battle, thus making everyone happy and him not being a douche and killing her but justifiable and much needed given the circumstances. And it becomes the greatest story through those events.

Overall, to everyone, her death cant be judged until the END OF HOMESTUCK, cause so much shit could happen. it's just at the MOMENT IT BITES

[just that guy]

and uh
at the risk of being beaten with several blunt objects and ridiculed, then shunned in the corner to live out the rest of my days feeding off of rats and sleeping inside a box

am i the only person who doesn't ship john and vriska much?
besides that one chat i don't see much dynamic
but then again i don't really ship
but that's just me

Equius had a brilliant death, but not a worse one...hm.

the most bitchhavery her death causes is that we can't just think up any instances or excuses because we don't know if there are new aspects in hs or something
which makes our ideas pre-invalidated
unless we're psychics
and we can read hussie's memory card
and know that he likes castlevania
and be spot on with our theories
in which pre-validated
but yeah

On one hand, I'd have found it cool if Equius just showed up behind Karkat in the shadows one scene, panting, the broken bow still hanging around his neck, his hair covering his eyes, and then he just grabs a seriously spooked out Karkat by the throat and asks "Where are my glasses, you damnable, dirty, filthy little-excuse-for-a-leader lowblood?"

"Pardon my language"
