Homesuck: Vriska Rising - Page 560

Pretty sure Eridan doesn't stand a chance here. I mean, we've gone through the trouble of making the God Tiers a pretty big deal, and establishing Vriska as far and away more powerful than pretty much anyone but Jack, John, and Aradia right now.

On top of that, Vriska, unlike Fef and Kanaya, can fly, attack from range, and steal luck, probably making his Science Wand backfire and explode or something.

On the other hand, Vriska relies on luck above all.

And just got the same treatment as most of the killed characters so far, a backstory, some cute development, something to make us feel bad about their deaths.

Yeah but this is Vriska we are talking about. She is always a step different. She doesn't even have to aim at Eridan, she just needs to throw the dice.

Yeah, but Vriska's been feeding us that crap for a long time now.

Those fucking pants.

Wait, isn't Eridan's only form of attack right now a beam of light?

I really hope Vriska wins. Mainly, I like her, because John likes her. And John's one my my favorite characters, because he's awesome.

And because, while they're both murderers, Eridan is just such a dick about it.

Solid Snake · 02-15-2011, 12:45 AM

...Is it possible to simultaneously root against them both?

As much as I'd like Eridan dead, I honestly would prefer if Vamp!Kanaya was the cause of his demise.

...and let's face it, given Vriska's plot importance, Eridan's lack of plot armor, Andrew's clear preferences in the matter, and the fact that Vriska's ancestor is playing the role of narrator clearly foreshadows and all-but definitively establishes Vriska's forthcoming victory.

This is really just the first stop of Andrew's "Vriska Redemption Tour."

I'm not sure about that. I mean, killing a killer in self defense isn't exactly redemption material.

I guess Hussie maybe means it that way, but it's not a very good way to provide character redemption.
