Homesuck: Vriska Rising

If she could see what was going to happen if Vriska was left alive, don't you maybe think she would be able to tell if her actions were pointless?

Terezi did in fact tell her what would happen. Vriska simply brushed her off, resulting in the coinflip and Vriska daring TZ to stop her.

I think you misunderstood what I said there.

If Terezi could see that Vriska was going to run off and kill them all using her Seer powers, then she would also be able to See(r) if Vriska would just stand back up and do it anyway.

I literally could not care any less that someone else is annoyed by my informal grammar on the internet. Sorry.

I am feeling SO V3RY SMUG R1GHT NOW, despite the fact that I did not actually do anything.

Also, I totally called it. If that counts for something.

No, you're just as wrong as POS.

I don't think it works like that. Terezi can see minds, not the future.

And if she doesn't already know that God Tiers can be killed via noble or just death, then I doubt she'd be able to see Vriska getting back up.

Further, even if she did know that, just because Terezi is under the impression that she's dealing out justice to Vriska doesn't necessarily make her right. Seer of Mind does not equal infallibility.

Also, she's a pretty shitty Legislacerator.

e.g. her singleminded obsession with pinning everything on Vriska during the Investigation bit.

What Loyal said. Due to both that and the fact Gamzee was taking advantage of it and planting evidence to egg Terezi on. Strange that her seer powers didn't allow her to see what was really happening.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, then again I've gone through the last few pages and found nothing like it. So, her killing Vriska might be less about her 'crimes' and more the fact that she was a liability, the fact if Vriska went off, everyone would be dead. AKA, "Her stupidity is going to get us all killed." Or, "It isn't so much what shes done, but what she's going to do."

That's always been part of the point with the trolls though, they're terribly shitty at their jobs.

Terezi has the makings of a great Legislacerator, but she's so single mindedly focused on the guilt of her initial suspects she never stops to consider alternatives. Magical powers or not, to her Vriska is guilty.Of course Vriska is guilty but that's not really the point. The point is she and everyone else in the troll session skipped over their quests and growth and it's gone really shitty for them as a result.


Aside which it seems to me that her powers would let her know Vriska was going to cheat, fly off and try to attack Jack. Not precisely what would happen as an effect of these actions.

She does however know that Jack is very near omnipotent, and that once Vriska's flown off to fight him, he'll be able to follow the trail right to the veil. Which makes it incredibly likely that win or lose, once he found the rest of the trolls they were going to die.

It's not informal grammar, it's blatantly just wrong, and not a word, and even if it was, it'd mean the opposite of what you assume that it means, Palin.

I thought that was what great legislacerators did. This is the troll universe after all.
