Homesuck: Vriska Rising

[Loyal]

Aw, shit.

Y'know, Despite knowing her as "Mom Lalonde" I somehow forgot that she was in fact Rose's mother. I never realized that Rose in particular would have a bad reaction to this because of that.

[Art of Hilt]

Rose showing genuine distress

oh god this is so sad
she can never apologize to her mother
she can never have the opportunity to understand her
she can never be able to tell her how much she loved her

[Dracorion]

They're doing a reset, remember?

Anyway, I just realized why Rose blacked out from the Trollian screens.

You have exactly a fifty percent chance of ascending to the god tier.
TT: That's a strange answer.
I know.
TT: Why such a precise probability?
Because, much like the decisions you must face to complete your dual suicide missions, you have two ways of achieving godhood to choose from.

But it won't be her Mom, it'd be alt-Rose's Mom. A stranger with her own daughter.

Even if they reset, things won't be the same. They might not even be the players of the new session.

I wonder what John's reaction is. I keep picturing him with a serious/derpy face while all windy hell breaks out on the background.

As far as I understood it they (or instances of them) will be the players of the reset session. Though, they might not at all resemble the kids we know and love personality and appearance-wise because some relevant parameters are changed, with the intention to make them not screw up so hard this time.

And depending on your personal definition of what self means those could be different kids or the same growing up to be completely different people or, who knows, they might just become pretty similar.

[Hyndrays]

Hehe.
Jack looks silly they way he's sitting there like that.

Here's the description Doc Scratch gave of the scratch (the bold is my personal emphasis)

You will have lived different lives after the reset. The different initial conditions will ideally lead to a more favorable scenario in the new session.
Unfortunately, you will have no memory of anything that has happened in the session you are in now.

In other words, we have no idea who might be the players of the new session. It could be the kids, it could not be. Regardless, the kids will still be relatively the same. It all depends on which "conditions" are changed.

However, I have a feeling (and this is pure speculation) that the kids won't be the players in the reset universe. Instead it will be their grandchildren, or at least Jade's grandson (though probably all of their grandchildren because why introduce even more characters and their grandchildren?). To me the idea that Jade (well, alternate/reset Jade) has a legitimate grandchild makes much more sense than other crazy theories like cross-species mating/ectobiology.

It's kind of fitting that the one who seemed most distanced from her parent/guardian would be the one hit the hardest by her being killed.

...I mean most distanced who hadn't already long-since had their guardian die and then be taxidermied.

So Jade's grandson is going to talk to her and appearify stuff from the future in an alternate version of Jade's session to the wiped out past version of said session?

I dunno, kind of a hard pill to swallow.
