Oh man, I could so use John's/Tavros's. Maybe I'll try to get it as a birthday present.

Also, I made a thing, and plan to make more things in the same vein later:

Vriska really can't die unless its a "Just Death" or a "Hero's death" so she is likely not going to die from this. Terezi did peg her for Tavros correctly, but the other deaths were all misblamed and based off false evidence. In addition, it would allow the real killer, Gamzee to get off free.

All depends on Sburb's definition of Justice though.

If a hanging couldn't kill a troll, then why would Redglare have gallows strewn about? Why would Mindfang just hang her as well? Wouldn't she just follow through with a stab or something? Terezi's roleplay scenario upon her introduction also implies that hanging is a viable, probably normal, execution on Alternia.

The evidence goes to show that a hanging would indeed kill a troll.

However, would it work if the gallows were calibrated to another's weight? That is what leaves the possibility of survival.

Neither Vriska nor any of the peasants in that crowd has any idea of how a hanging is meant to work.

Regardless, Redglare set up the gallows. Either there was going to be a nice stabbing afterwords, or it would work on a typical troll.

The strange thing for me is why Redglare would be made into legend--she was good at her job, I get that, but apparently it never got far and it ended rather disgracefully. I'd like it to mean that her career's not quite over yet, but it probably just means it must've been epic while it lasted.

Yeah, I had the same reaction. Apparently it's coming eventually, just not right now.

Nice... interesting choice. I kind of want to do my own set, but I haven't gotten past the two most obvious ones (Fool is John and Justice is Terezi).

This is definite proof of inconsistencies between the trolls and their ancestors.

I mean seriously, Tavros? Look at what happened at history's attempt to repeat.

Also the scratch in the disc is likely causing subtle changes, that will become more obvious later on.

Looks like Karkancestor was probably troll Che Guevera all along. Or pick your favourite revolutionary anyway. Guessing his blood caste was largely erradicated as a result. Then again, that might just be where Karkat took his symbol from. The matter remains mysterious.

At any rate, it seems like lifespan is related to blood caste as well.
