You might want to get the shirt or something now and save the cooler thing for Christmas or the like.

Thanks. I guess i need to place an order then.

Welp, guess we can now be certian that Tyranny isn't Karkatcestor, judging by the color of Redglare's cane.

Man, lookit that guy, he is ripped.

And is it just me or does that look like the arm of a Prospitian?

A shame that Equius was unable to muster the will to follow in his ancestor's footsteps.

Though I guess this does suggest that the trolls aren't locked into repeating history.

Judging from the line "I wonder if he still 8elieves she was worth it?", I'd be tempted to say that the difference might have been it was Nepeta's ancestor, and rather than the situation the troll kids had, he saved her from a SUBJUGGLATOR.

Maybe if he'd been made more aware of what would happen immediately after his death, Equius would have acted differently?

The whole "repeating history" thing doesn't seem quite that set-in-stone.

The ancestor concept came into play in the first place because Hussie wanted to foreshadow Eridan's death and Gamzee's madness... kind of. But remember that it ALREADY didn't turn out the way it did in history. Dualscar was killed by a subjugglator. There was no three-way standoff, and as far as we know, no rainbow drinkers were involved.

The fact that the blindness/arm removal mirror happened AFTERWARD is just more evidence toward the idea that it's supposed to be nothing more than a curious similarity. Hussie likes to throw in hints to events that'll happen later; maybe the Tyranny fight is supposed to foreshadow a different future conflict?

I want to say it's Jack but Vriska doesn't stand a chance against that guy without outside help, and her ancestor took on the Tyranny single-handedly.

Well, as far as we know.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Hussie made the ancestors into unreliable narrators, especially Mindfang.

I think it's also something to note that Hussie already talked about how Trolls have a tendency to exaggerate things to a more grandiose level. So Mindfang may be embellishing things more than a bit for her "unreliable" narration. It certainly seems like it would fit her personality.

I almost wonder if this is setting up for Terezi killing Vriska, with the moral of the story being "Vriska's biggest weakness was her reliance on the notion that she was repeating her ancestor's story verbatim."

And then the hints like "Equius' ancestor actually being alive in Mindfang's story" would suggest at an ever-increasing rate that Mindfang and Vriska's stories were heading in opposite directions.

Also, if you view the individuals Mindfang "mind-controlled" as a stand-in for Tavros, Vriska's biggest mistake could have been killing the person who she could have otherwise mind-controlled into dealing with Terezi for her.

NOTE: I am certainly not the first person to think of this possibility but I am too busy this week to read backlogs.

I have a hard time believing something as light as a hanging could kill a troll.

Well, it's not the light that kills them in hanging, it's the weight.
