Huh well that's the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard.

So, someone came up with this thought on another forum:

So there was a memo some time ago. It contained this:

FGC: 3V3RYON3, TH3 BOTTOM L1N3 1S TH4T PROSP1T W4S JUST D3STROY3D [...]
FUTURE adiosToreador [FAT] 3:14 HOURS FROM NOW responded to memo.
FAT: iS,
FAT: tHAT WHAT HAPPENED,
FGC: Y3S T4VROS
FAT: }
FGC: WOW 1T TOOK YOU THR33 HOURS TO F1GUR3 TH4T OUT?

(http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004654)

Now, Prospit was, according to the recap (http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005138), destroyed 06:12 hours before the CRITICAL EVENT. Meaning that FAT posted this 02:55 hours BCE (FGC is from three minutes in the future). Thus, he cannot have died when Vriska stabbed him 03:14 hours BCE.

Of course, there's the possibility it's going to involve him texting as he bleeds out, much like when he texted after falling down his cliff.

There was an actual rule on the MSPA forums in which you basically couldn't insult any MSPA characters(Holy shit emphasis) aside from calling them something like a duck or ...lillyweed, I guess?

Uh, yeah, that.

You know, despite half the jokes in the comic itself being insults to characters.

EDIT: Jegus guys, you're all roofhopping ninjas!

[Wigmund]

I think it was due to people trolling the comic chat thread with nothing but insults about Vriska that were getting steadily worse and worse.

I dunno, I spend my time there in the art forums. Which got itself an exemption to that rule for the arts and fics.


EDIT: If Tavros is still texting nearly 20 minutes after being shanked like that, I figure Trolls just don't bleed out very easily.

Tavros was too busy "sky-frolicking" in his dreamself and thus was late for Jack blowing up Prospit.

Technically he's the only guy left with an extra life, but now if only he could get a kiss . . .

Or by some strange turn of events he lands on his Quest Bed.

And Aradia God Tier time-powers graphics are the best.

EDIT: Just forgot, Vriska is now the best troll by a lower margin because Aradia has cool time powers with cool graphics.

I just realized: John: Explore Village's Trickster Mode foreshadowed Aradia's powers.

It took quite some time for Vriska to bleed out. Not to mention the sheer volume of blood she had.

I think they also said something about wanting to stop stuff like this, but yeah. Pretty silly way to solve that problem.

Like it's funny, Vriska was pretty much made to infuriate the reader, I don't know why their mods seem confused that the readerbase feels appropriately infuriated by her.

Well, considering Karkat seemed to regard Jack's stabbings as a minor inconvenience, and considering Vriska period, it's probably safe to assume that yeah, bleeding out isn't a significant cause of death for trolls.

[Wigmund]

Being stabbed in the chest probably ranks closer to having arm and eye blown off in terms of troll blood loss, that is if the lance isn't knocked out when he hits whatever ground there is...

Oh god, he's gonna land on that creature from Aradia's portion of Alterniabound.

[Flarecobra]

Aradia? Don't you mean Vriska?

[Art of Hilt]

How could Aradia have ascended to god-tier status because she had no "extra life", which would have been her dream-self?

She did have an extra life. She had a dream self all along. It just wasn't in a tower. It was sleeping in a crypt in the center of Derse, which essentially functioned as her Quest Cocoon.

She is a special case with respect to having a dream self (like Sollux was, who had two), and also with respect to the god tier resurrection.

The same rules couldn't apply to her, since she's the only character who's been dead since long before beginning the game. She couldn't resurrect the usual way because she was already dead.

So she has a different set of rules to suit her unique circumstances. We were lead to believe she didn't have a dream self, because she was dead, and because she didn't have a tower. But she was in the crypt the whole time, on her sacrificial platform, looking pretty corpse-like. Was her dream self dead too? There's no need for a definitive answer. But it would be reasonable to view her slumber as a state of undead-like stasis, like a vampire in a crypt.

Her resurrection demanded that her dream self be killed on the platform. And so it waited there for the entire session until Jack destroyed Derse, and was consumed by fire. This woke her up, and restored her to life for the first time in years. Her robot exploded as her soul un-disembodied itself. She then attained the god tier as the Maid of Time.

welp

e- this better be explained at some point in-comic because if it's not then it'd just be really dumb
