/remember Snake's entirely rational, defensible Vriska-hate I'm actually sad in advance over the fact that Andrew's inevitable Vriska-John ship resolution is going to ruin all the respect and adoration I have for John and do immeasurable damage to his characterization. I'm just like, preparing for this dark cloud on the horizon, and I'm trying my hardest to brace for it, but I just know that it's going to punch me in the stomach, and I'm going to weep. This is the inherent problem for someone whose favorite characters are Kanaya, John and Rose and whose least favorite character is Vriska: unless Rose decides to take lessons from the Book of Mormon at least one of my favorite characters is fucked. (And now you know where all my irrational Vriska hate stems from: the intense fear that a character I dislike will steal the heart of a character I love.)

I love how she hasn't appeared in months and we're still bitching about Vriska.

Mind you, this is me obsessing over one very minor blemish in what has otherwise been a rather extraordinary product. You shouldn't interpret my Vriska hate too negatively because I'm still a rather huge fan and the recent updates in particular have been stellar. (I know a few of you will still choose to believe I hate Homestuck anyway.)

Thank you for letting me be better, NPF. |

Like what you're insinuating is that the first girl who's like "John, I want you to love me" will be loved by John because gee whiz, he's just such a nice guy he wouldn't dare refuse anyone who asked. I want John to be his forgiving, lovable, adorkable self, but I don't want him to forget about standards, or to forget that forgiving Vriska for having been an abusive, belligerent, unlikable ass should not translate into him harboring romantic feelings for someone who was an abusive, belligerent, unlikable ass. (If Dick Cheney turns around tomorrow and is a completely reformed liberal, and runs for President as a Democrat, and you actually somehow can even completely tell that he's 100% serious and actually earnestly has realized what a douchebag he was and wants to genuinely reform the American system and do amazing things for the poor and marginalized in American society, I still would not want you to vote for him, nor would I be upset if you refused to, I guess that is kind of what I am saying. And romance is an even bigger personal decision. You're choosing who you presumably want to spend the rest of your life with, after all. Or at least, someone you want to be extremely intimate with. That is not a decision even John should take lightly.)

Of course, I actually do believe that her role as an active major participant in the story is over. She'll still make appearances and, if the foreshadowing with Jake is any indication, at least some involvement and interraction with the characters via the dream bubbles, but there's been nothing to suggest that she's coming back from the dead and I think that's fitting. Act 5 was the rise and fall of Vriska. That was basically the whole deal there, and she has nothing left to do as part of her personal story. The same goes for Aradia and it's why she's staying behind at the Green Sun, just as Gamzee is probably not going to survive the three year voyage to the new session. They are act 5 characters, and it's where their stories began and ended. Meanwhile, nearly every player character introduced before act 5 is continuing on, with the only exception of Tavros, who was also the only pre-act 5 character to have no impact on the actual plot during that period.

I guess it's just strange that you're the first person who has a rational argument for not liking Vriska or even against Vriska<3John as a ship.
God I spend too much time around HSG. EDIT: Comments directed at Snake because herp derp people posted before I was done with my post :P |

Any time spent around HSG is too much.
Also, for what it's worth, I'm sure I'd feel the same way as Snake if I were to ever consider that Alpha!John/Vriska was a thing that had any possibility of happening, but since all signs have ever pointed to "ill-fated flirtation cut short by Vriska's inevitable death," I never bothered.

So I guess POS and I will both have to reserve judgment until Andrew finally finishes his story.
