We got confused by the beta trolls a bit, especially when Aranea's ramblings were still updating and we had lots of questions.


EMILY

fact=patron saint of hookers is saint nicholas aka santa

EMILY

"DAVE: hey dont be saying shit about the mayor

DAVE: the mayor rules hes like my best fucking friend"

EMILY

from today's masteryorgi video, dave does actually say that...

JESSICA

Hahahahaha, just watched that video! I did kinda wonder about John with all that, lololol

KALYN

Whaaaat?

Hey, so, on the HS update, I think Jade's dead dream self met the beta trolls in the void. Do you think they're all stuck there, since they scratched and all?

JESSICA

What are you going on about?

KALYN

looks like John's encountered them a bit too in his dreams

the update today guys. Jeez.

actually it's from yesterday

JESSICA

When did Jade's dream self meet them?

What are you basing this on?

JESSICA

THIS MAKES NO SENSE! The little list on the side says there is nothing new, click the top one, goes to Jade's avatar, but there is a forward doohicky!

what is this madness?

EMILY

weird, i got an update

KALYN

hm. something wrong? because I'm definitely reading it right now.

JESSICA

"JADE: just some slight differences in personality i guess

JOHN: he still raps sometimes."

JESSICA

lolololol

KALYN

lol Jade and Davesprite are totally a ship.

JOHN: whereas i will offer dave a tender bro embrace, and shove karkat down a flight of friendship stairs.

John is so cute! I kind of love how real this conversation is.

EMILY

i liked that

KALYN

It's quite heartfelt for this comic.

It's the most *real* thing I think I've seen!

EMILY

AAAAAHHHHH

JESSICA

::::'(

KALYN

um?

JESSICA

John!

He doesn't even remember Vriska's name!

KALYN

I'm sure he does

but I don't think Jade really knew her

JESSICA

He still could have said her name *pouts*

Why do they have to throw in some realism there? Crash that ship right out of the day-old water!

But, yeah, it's nice to see their conversation

Which I realize doesn't sound as cool now as it did in my head .

KALYN

huh?

JESSICA

Ok, which part are you confused at?

KALYN

last sentence

JESSICA

"their" John and Jade

KALYN

no. the part after that.

unless Facebook rearranged it

JESSICA

Yeah

KALYN

which I think I can figure out where it goes if that's the case

so now it makes more sense

….

KALYN

so about the Homestuck update. John has now encountered a sleepfloating Roxy, but I'm not sure what that expression at the end means. His expression is himself...to infinity.

Although he is kind of grinning like an idiot.

OMG wouldn't it be great if Roxy and John ended up together.

KALYN

Because obviously their other options are a bit unavailable (Jake is currently pursuing the relationship with Dirk and Rose is totally with Kanaya)... And I listed those two because 1) they're pretty much the counterparts for each other (Jake/John and Rose/Roxy) and 2) they both (John and Roxy) have expressed considering the possibility of pursuing some sort of courtship with Rose/Jake. So there was my line of thought there.

JESSICA

To be honest, I sort of wondered if they would get together, but I thought my theory was baseless. And stupid, lol. Instead of Dad she gets with John, yay! Because they are basically the same person, right? see, stupid and baseless

mostly stupid

KALYN

Yeah, that is a bit...they're not the same person. But John is the most related to Dad, beyond Jane, so he's like second-best.

JESSICA

Either way, this update was silly, mostly because of the flailing arms and doing nothing to get out of the way other than that, lol

Homestuck Update

and all I gotta say is "Meenah"? What sorta name is that? It's kinda...normal! Spelled differently, but normal D: This can't be!

"MEENAH: be all a pajama party up in here today"

Huh...Meenah is really different from Fef, which isn't surprising, really

Kinda funny to see Fef's fish puns and typing quirk with a different attitude though

Huntin' for the halibut

JESSICA

Ok! Real quick (and I hate how this is lumped together with that first sentence up there, the "Either way..." because this is five hours later. Facebook is fucking retarded. You type something and it's a few seconds it makes a new little time frame for it, but five hours? Nah, lump it all together! Yay!) ANYWAY! Roxy is asleep, but she was awake when she met Meenah before, did she wake up again?

Or, GASP! This is before Roxy wakes up, that would make a lot of sense. So, either Roxy fell back asleep, or John woke her up saving her life.

KALYN

My guess is the latter, since Roxy meets Meenah for the first time when she falls in the void between the screens.

But yeah now that she's talking? I definitely like Meenah.

She's a bit crude though, but beyond that.

KALYN

(before I forget, there's a fic I found that I like. Called Space Bro. /tagged/space_bro/chronoso now I don't have to worry about forgetting it.)

JESSICA

lol

What is this, anyway?

JESSICA

Homestuck update

Roxy's face was great, gotta say. Also, the beta trolls weren't all great! Meenah's trying to kill roxy for no good reason D:

JESSICA

So, totally had a dream last night where I was taking a math final exam and I was never going to finish it! Time was ticking away, but no one was being particularly quiet, which was weird since it was Mr. Williams' class. There were six of us, all lined up in a row along a wall. There were no other desks in the room except all the way on the other side. It was a decently sized room. There were "super long" one page problems, but there were 18 of them! And then three pages of multiple choice questions. We only had 2 hours to complete the test D:

I had twenty minutes left and I tried to make one final push, but then I decided to give up when there was only five minutes. There was no way I was going to finish it, and we couldn't go over time x.x

On the way out of the room, they were playing "The Sharpest Lives" by MCR over the intercom system. What was weird and cool was that it was spot on, but there was no MCR playing in real life It was AMAZING! Anyway, I wanted to get that out of my system.

JESSICA

Ok, Homestuck update again

This one focuses on Terezi! Yay! Nothing's said (yet), but Terezi is no longer blind, and she's crying. Vriska's messaging her. I think this Dream Bubble is in a world where Vriska and Terezi never became bitter enemies like they did. Either Vriska never sent Tavros over a cliff or Terezi never tried to avenge him. There are my thoughts on the matter.

JESSICA

Also, her walls say "Dead Heads" in bright red over and over again. Do you remember what her walls said before? Or did they just have drawings all over them. Also, Lemonsnout seems bigger than before. Ok, go!

JESSICA

I'm kinda stupid x.x I forgot that the bright red eyes means that Terezi is blind. So of course she isn't buddy pals with Vriska, sigh

Aranea...she speaks in a confusing manner. She's just all over the place!

EMILY

SO MANY HOMESTUCK SPOILERS I HAVEN'T READ THIS ALL WEEKEND. Still won't until I get home.

MORGAN

so this is aranea pre-scratch... so beta aranea... that's what I'm assuming anyway, and I don't think it's much of a leap. So our previous suspicions about these trolls were correct?

EMILY

shit now i have to read all this...

well holy shit that didn't take long

KALYN

I think that's what's going on. The dead Beta trolls (in the void because they were obliterated into eternity after scratching) are making contact with the other players through dream bubbles (which exist in the void) and uh...I think Meenah's the one who orchestrated the Scratch, because when she heard she was dead she was happy because it "meant her plan worked" and Jessica, I agree with your statement about Aranea. Mainly though it's her use of vague pronouns that confuses me. I couldn't tell whose ancestor she was saying she was. And she wasn't all that clear on where/when exactly she came from.

…..

KALYN

Two scientists walk into a bar

The first scientist says 'I'll have a glass of H2O"

The second scientist says 'I'll have a glass of water too. Wh… why did you say H2O? Like, I know it's the chemical formula for water and all, but it's the end of the day and there's really no need to intentionally over-complicate things like that in a situation outside of work"

The first scientist stares at his drink, angry that his assassination plan has failed.

Seriously and why did they go to a bar if they were both getting water

KALYN

goh shit guise remember when I said I thought Tavros would be perfect for Dante to voice act for? Apparently everyone's been telling him he should do that.

JESSICA

WHAT THE HELL? I was all alone all weekend, and then suddenly you guys decide to get on at the same time What is this? I feel like you're trying to tell me something

JESSICA

lol, ok, just read all of that, because there was suddenly SO MUCH OF IT! and after all of that, I have nothing to really add, lol

I think it would be interesting if Dante voice acted Tavros, although, i think i have been corrupted by Master Yorgi. I always imagine his voice for Tavros, Gamzee and Eridan. Those are my head canon now

EMILY

loved that bar joke thingy

JESSICA

Homestuck update and this is quite noteworthy

Aranea: "The mem8ers of your party, and one noteworthy fugitive, are the sole survivors."

Who's the fugitive?

I kinda wonder if it is UU or uu

EMILY

mah thoughts

JESSICA

Aaaaaw! "GC: 3V3N THOUGH SH3 D1D SOM3 B4D TH1NGS 4ND W4S TOT4LLY 1MPOSS1BL3 MOST OF TH3 T1M3

GC: 1 W1SH SH3 W4SNT D34D"

EMILY

but idk though

i don't really think it is one of them though

because..they are from different universes 1 and 2 what about the other Uu? what are they?

JESSICA

what? Uu?

EMILY

since UU and uu are the same species

i don't think it's that

*them

JESSICA

I can't remember, was it confirmed that they were from a different universe or species? I thought all that was confirmed was that they had their own session. I could be wrong, but I don't remember.

EMILY

different session, i think that's it

but hey, can you translate what ...that last chick..areaerfnda, what she said into emily?

JESSICA

lol, i haven't finished everything, but i'll try is there any part in particular you are having trouble with?

EMILY

ummm her long stuff

i was reading it

but...not really?

kinda like in one ear and out the other...but...not

if that makes sense

JESSICA

i gotcha, i was having a little trouble with that too, had to reread paragraphs then

ok, let me go through this all again, see what i can boil it down to. I'll go in order for the audience, try to make it less confusing in the long run, lol

KALYN

I (morgan) am just going to glaze over what she's basically saying about the "choices"... which is just like... an idea of how the universe works, but doesn't have to do specifically with their specific sessions

terezi basically felt limited by her abilities, because she thought "were those really my only two choices?"

and then aranea was like, well, if you had every possible choice in the world, what kind of future would you see? just like... hazy vague possible decisions

JESSICA

It would be a jumbled mess, basically

KALYN

and then nothing would be sure or definite, and there would be a fuck ton of offshoot universes that are doomed to failure because most choices would produce an undesired outcome that isn't fated to succeed.

and then she made that vein/capillary analogy

JESSICA

guh, thanks morgan for totally derailing me x.x

KALYN

sorry

did it help at all, or did i just match the rambling?

JESSICA

I was going to do something profound for once and you're like "Nope can't have that!"

KALYN

(side note: it sounds like people above us are having sex (AGAIN!))

EMILY

go ahead though cause i think i'm still kinda confused

BROWN CHICKEN BROWN COW

JESSICA

(maybe they are?)

KALYN

YEAH, JESSICa go ahead and do your explanation

JESSICA

lol, ok

KALYN

... didn't realize caps was still on till it was too late XP

(hahahahahahahaha our suitemates are banging on the ceiling now)

EMILY

boo ya

just ordered donnie darko, my neighbor totoro, and now and then (on dvd) from amazon!

KALYN

nice

JESSICA

with the choices thing, since Morgan began with that, part of what I think Aranea means is that you have a main artery or vein, which sustains life (DAMNIT EMILY UNORDER DONNIE DARKO! THAT WAS MY SURPRISE FOR YOU D:)

EMILY

oh?

KALYN

hahahahahahalawl

EMILY

like fo rizzles?

JESSICA

(yes, fo rizzles, if you all ready ordered it though, Morgan, do you and Kalyn want a copy?)

Anyway

KALYN

uh... i mean i guess? sure?

EMILY

(i can unorder it, but if they want one)

KALYN

honestly, we probably wont watch it ever

we've already seen it, and it's great and all, but that's a cult following we're gonna have to pass on

JESSICA

then why don't you unorder it emily?

and i'm not in it for the cult following, don't put it like that x.x

EMILY

has been unordered

KALYN

um, okay...

EMILY

WELL HOLY SHIT THANKS JESSICA!

KALYN

consider it un-put.

JESSICA

toal derailment and facebok is refusing to work properly for me

KALYN

sad

EMILY

:(

JESSICA

can we switch over to skype? I can copy and paste the conversation for kalyn

KALYN

alrighty then

EMILY

sho?

SHO

ON SKYPE

KALYN

this one?

JESSICA

su-ah

EMILY

yeah daaaalink

JESSICA

"Daaaahlik!"

"Destroy, destroy"

KALYN

exteeerminate exteeeeeerrrrminate

lawl, that was norma, she had to take over there

JESSICA

thank you, i knew that was wrong

THANK YOU NORMA AND YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF DOCTOR WHO! These philistines don't know what they're missing out on

KALYN

none of us know what philistines is... the only thing we can muster up is "I think that's a biblical thing."

JESSICA

haha, philistine is basically "culturally ignorant"

KALYN

oh well then

EMILY

sorry

JESSICA

:P

EMILY

just watching shinee here

KALYN

let's go to korea, see who's culturally ignorant then

JESSICA

uuuuuh, all of us?

EMILY

i fail epically at chopsticks...

JESSICA

because you get all of your information for K-Dramas?

KALYN

no?

EMILY

i get my info from simon and martina

KALYN

btw, I pwned chopsticks for the first time ever a few days ago

JESSICA

I've pwned chopsticks for a few years now

KALYN

that's a pretty good source...

EMILY

my fingers don't like to do something they don't do often?

KALYN

shut up jessica, you and your 'cultural enlightenment' or whatever XP

EMILY

MY FINGERS DON'T OBEY ME

KALYN

uh…

JESSICA

soooo

I also used chopsticks for chinese food (which we ate a lot in Belgium) since I was 8

KALYN

well, i never got that experience. cause i was culturally deprived as a child

soooooo

EMILY

yeah

i...had sheep

sorta

KALYN

uh... i'm not sure what that's supposed to mean

EMILY

weren't technicaly ours

KALYN

you had sheep.

EMILY

but the family's

KALYN

so this kind of deviates from chopsticks.

EMILY

yeah i know

KALYN

are you relating sheep to cultural non-ignorance/

?

EMILY

i dunno

jessica used chopsticks i had sheep

KALYN

well okay then

EMILY

and shit ton of feral cats

KALYN

hahaha

EMILY

they all used our room

just...so many of them

like 20

KALYN

anyway, did jessica want to offer a perfectly railed explanation of homestuck today?

EMILY

oh yeah

JESSICA

if you guys don't mind calming your shit while i do so, and let me type without being totally left out of the conversation : D

EMILY

SORRY

JESSICA

ok, so, we were talking about Terezi's choices

KALYN

oh, well then

yep

choices

JESSICA

Aranea said that you could look at it from the standpoint of blood vessels and arteries. The main artery is what it needed to sustain life (reality/universe/the game). If the choices can either keep them going down that path or lead to (omg i get to actually use this reference : D) tangent universes which are doomed to fail

If Terezi could see all of the possibilities, or if all of the possibilities were offered as choices, then instead of a main artery with some off shoots, you would have what would basically be a giant blood filled mat

the correct path would be impossible to find

EMILY

oh…

JESSICA

does that make sense?

KALYN

oh hell deep conversation here

This'll be fun to format.

EMILY

i think?

KALYN

I still need to read the whole thing. morgan was reading it aloud, but I couldn't follow because of how boring it sounded.

JESSICA

you know kalyn, i did say i would cover the skype stuff, if you want

KALYN

ok

that's fine

JESSICA

osm ()

emily, i am going to take your silence as confirmation that my above stuff made sense and move on to whatever else Aranea said that may or may not have made sense

EMILY

oh ok

KALYN

guise I think one of the trolls from either the beta session or the UU/uu session somehow survived their own clusterfuck. Actually...you probably already addressed this, I haven't read your conversation yet.

JESSICA

I would just like to throw this out there real quick, but I feel that Aranea's sessions "trouble maker" was Meenah, although there are 10 other choices

KALYN

I agree, and so did Morgan

JESSICA

ok, cool

looking back through, it seems that most of what Aranea said had to do with the blood analogy

it's kinda weird. Both Vriska and Aranea are heroes of Light but the kids and their counterparts are not heroes of the same alignment. I wonder if the other trolls align the same way

KALYN

oh wow I am so glad I could follow Aranea's long spiel of questions, because I do not want to read that more than once.

quite wordy.

EMILY

h'oh yeah

JESSICA

indeed

KALYN

There's something really different about the trolls' sessions and players compared to the kids'. Because of things like they have the same alignments or whatever. Actually, Areana said something like she was pretty much Vriska or like Vriska is who she would be had they switched places...

You know how in Alternia, the trolls were almost exactly like their ancestors?

Like they were pretty much the same.

EMILY

(my legs are ultra smooth tonight)

KALYN

But Aranea is Vriska's "ancestor" as she clarified

So she is Mindfang, but completely different from Mindfang, who is much more like Vriska.

So in that vein, could we come to the conclusion that it's similar in the beta troll universe?

And Vriska's counterpart in this session is actually much more like Aranea?

EMILY

holy shit what

JESSICA

Didn't Karkat only make 6 trolls?

KALYN

Or do you think YOU MEAN TWELVE

Or do you think like...two versions of each went into one session or something?

JESSICA

I thought we mentioned somewhere that there were only 6

KALYN

WHY WOULD THERE ONLY BE SIX.

There are twelve trolls.

JESSICA

Anyway, all she was saying was that they are the same person genetically, but different because of their different upbringing

KALYN

ok

JESSICA

I know there were twelve trolls

oh, lawl

KALYN

Yes, he made twelve trolls, but see that doesn't mean that the beta trolls didn't make their own batch of twelve ectogrubs.

EMILY

yes

JESSICA

what about the Alpha kids? They were created by John

KALYN

The reason John made 8 ectobabies instead of just the 4 from his session was that the Scratch and the universe knew that the alpha kids' session would be void, so they wouldn't get a chance to make their own ectobabies.

It relied on John to make them instead.

EMILY

..ok

KALYN

That was one of the things Rose clarified as unique about their sessions.

Make sense?

EMILY

OH

SO

CURIOUS YEEEEAAAH

KALYN

lol

and I was anticipating an epiphany.

JESSICA

I guess, I was just, you know . got mixed up with troll biology

how the ancestors and decendents are basically the same trolls

so it was unnecessary to create 24

i sometimes have the same problem with Rose as I did with Aranea x.x Just sorta glance over it and if I want to understand I gotta read it again

KALYN

yeah, that's what's confusing me. Vriska is just like Mindfang (she's the best example to use here, but they all work) and yet not at all like Aranea. I wonder if there are ancestors in the beta troll verse that are exactly like their descendants the players. But at the same time, maybe it really is just...

idk

like them. but how they would have ended up in the alternate universe with the crazy different upbringing.

and it's more just troll tradition to follow in the footsteps of your ancestor.

EMILY

random but interesting, i'm gonna try this now .com/watch?v=eWLWOSgYlG8

JESSICA

that's what i was saying, the same biologically, but totally different because of how they were raised

it's kinda philosophical

KALYN

so despite what exact troll was wherever, this is how it would have turned out.

They're probably all exactly the same.

There are four versions of each troll going around.

but half of them are ectogrubs.

JESSICA

yup

that's how i read it

KALYN

and a different half of them are split up into two separate personalities each.

Ok, I'm done with the headache. Can we talk about troll Jesus?

JESSICA

you lost me there

KALYN

I wanna talk about angry troll Jesus.

aka: Karkat/the Sufferer/possible uu

JESSICA

oh...what is there to talk about?

KALYN

IDK

JESSICA

not that i'm against it

KALYN

I just find him interesting

JESSICA

or is it the fact that Aranea has the sufferer symbol

KALYN

I feel like there should be something to talk about

oh yes

JESSICA

I wonder if Meenah does as well?

KALYN

hmmmmm

speaking of Meenah, she would be the exception to that whole thing about personalities being the same in one universe...because she's more like the Condesce, and Feferi isn't like either of them, being totally not ruthless and everything.

Other trolls in Alternia were just like their ancestors in personality.

Fef isn't.

But this is a case where the alternate universe troll's personality maybe does carry over into the alpha verse

JESSICA

True, but Meenah is the opposite of Fef, and Aranea is the opposite of Vriska

KALYN

I guess, but see Meenah=the Condesce, and you can see that similarity

JESSICA

I do

KALYN

But there isn't quite a similarity that I've seen between Aranea and Mindfang

unless Mindfang did turn out to be more gentle and mild mannered than Vriska in the long run

but I'm not so sure that's the case

I think Vriska takes after her

JESSICA

Well, it wouldn't be in the long run, it would have been when she was younger

we only saw Mindfang when she was older

wait...that doesn't make a whole lot of sense :/

KALYN

ok so you're saying she could have started out as Aranea, and then just became more like Vriska./

bit confusing.

EMILY

i got that shiz

JESSICA

that was sort of what i was getting if we were going to compare Meenah to the Condesce, but then i took away the whole "long run" thing, which was important for the Meenah/Condesce theory

I'm sure having Fuschia blood does something to you

KALYN

feh. fucking trolls with their ancestry and their fanfiction and their history and their twelve players and their alternate universes and their dead sessions and their void and their dream bubbles and their signless jewelry and their ectobiology and their quadrants and their vastly different universal incarnations and their extra session and their same alignments and their violence and their capillary timelines and their odd anatomy and their...

I'm gonna go to sleep now.

I love ya'll.

EMILY

NACHT

JESSICA

Bwah! Real quick! Meenah had no Signless jewelry!

KALYN

ok! I know!

JESSICA

why did you let me go back through and look for it?

KALYN

the double U's have signless signs though

uhh I didn't know you were looking haha

JESSICA

does uu?

KALYN

I just knew Aranea had it, but see Mindfang wasn't a supporter.

JESSICA

or did we just extrapolate that?

KALYN

I feel like Aranea is the one throwing a wrench in the whole system thus far.

JESSICA

no, she wasn't

well, it doesn't help that we've only seen 1/6 of the population, lol

KALYN

It'll be interesting to see the other trolls though. I'm quite excited to see Tavros' counterpart.

JESSICA

he'll probably be like Rufio

KALYN

I want him to be.

EMILY

oh yeah

KALYN

I'm interested in Gamzee too, and I guess all of them.

Sollux.

uh

EMILY

random head ache there

KALYN

haven't even thought about Kanaya

EMILY

terezi will be interesting

ERIDAN TOO

KALYN

oh es

y^

JESSICA

i think Kanaya will be very interesting

EMILY

HOLY EQUIUS!

KALYN

lawl

Nepeta

Aradia

JESSICA

the Dolorose was very motherly, and so is Kanaya

KALYN

Now that we've successfully named them all... lo

l

JESSICA

good work team!

KALYN

I think I'm most interested in Tavros' and Sollux' counterparts.

and of course karkat

JESSICA

I kinda wonder if Gamzee's counterpart will be chill? Because Gamzee was only really chill because of the sopor and faygo

maybe the counterpart doesn't need that?

KALYN

I can see him being like ...oh yeah, different society

JESSICA

although, we haven't seen Gamzee and his sopor deprived self

EMILY

very good point raised there buddy

KALYN

hm

ok

bed

love you!

JESSICA

he's had a year to detox

LOVE YOU TOO!

EMILY

nacht

oooh goodness

we haven't seen gamzee yet

JESSICA

nope

not at all

EMILY

i'm excited for that reunion

JESSICA

yeah

teehee

Kanaya

I wonder if she will withold sawing him in two?

EMILY

hopefully!

sorry jessica too tired, i'm going to sleep now!

nacht

JESSICA

that's cool

i'm just editing the Homestuck Therapy

GOOD NIGHT! Sleep well

Love you

ON FACEBOOK

EMILY

wait

what's the calignious quadrant?

JESSICA

spades?

EMILY

ok

JESSICA

i think that's another term for it

EMILY

yeah

new masteryorgi video

JESSICA

woo!

oh, shop drop and roll?

JESSICA

that's not new...

EMILY

nope

try harder

JESSICA

kinda want a snack...-what?

EMILY

that's what it's called

JESSICA

oh...

did you not get caliginous from the content of the video?

EMILY

i asked before that

JESSICA

oh, ok, gotcha

JESSICA

ok, Homestuck update

and, new class? "AG: My perspective is informed 8y my class and aspect. It was to my advantage as a healer to see things a little differently" or is she being general? or did i just forget a class

EMILY

meh dunno

JESSICA

Ah, she's a sylph! Which i believe Kanaya is as well

She's the sylph of space, so is she supposed to heal space with the power of alliteration?

EMILY

huh?

JESSICA

lol

it was a joke

sylph, space, alliteration

EMILY

oh...

ok

JESSICA

anyway, Aranae's denizen was also Echidna. She is a sylph (like Kanaya whose denizen was Echidna) and a hero of space (like Jade whose denizen was Echidna). I wonder if any witches (if there wasn't already a sylph) would have Echidna as their denizen... Fef was the Witch of Life, but there was already a Sylph in play. Eh, just musings

JESSICA

Kalyn! Here's some troll Jesus for you!

"AG: As I said, this time around the world was... interesting.

GC: TH4T'S WH3N TROLLS B3C4M3 T3RR1BL3?

AG: Not all of you.

AG: Some had lessons from the old world to teach others. 8ut few ever heard them."

JESSICA

Meenah was definitely the troublemaker.

Ok, so, i've been thinking about this too ever since Aranae actually began talking. They're like combinations of people. Aranea (? was I spelling it wrong the entire time? :/) is like a combination of Vriska and Kanaya. I thought at first it was Vriska and Rose, mostly because they are both pretty long-winded. But anyway, she still has Vriska's basic personality but it's been mixed with Kanaya's. I wonder if their class is determined by their personality or if their personality is determined by their class?

There is also Meenah who is the Thief of Life. Again, we keep the same alignment just different class. She's sort of like a combo of Fef and Vriska. It's a little more difficult to find Fef in there, but there is definitely quite a bit of Vriska. She's brash, tends to only think about herself, and finds amusement in things she probably shouldn't. I don't think Vriska enjoyed killing other trolls, per se. It seemed to be more of what led up to the killing rather than the killing itself. This would also explain why she was hunting Roxy. It's just in her nature to take life. So, yeah. There you have my musings for the day.

Hey I really love this analysis. I actually took a quiz or something based on personality that tells you what your title would be, and it's actually the first bit (Sylph, Thief, Knight, etc.) that relies the most on personality, so these make sense. Aranea's more like Kanaya in temperament than Vriska, and Meenah's more like Vriska than Fef, but they still have those obvious quirk similarities. I think it's those classes that are based on personality and the alignments are more based on the specialized skills.

So we can totally compare everyone-and I want to go back to UU's description of classes later too, so we can bring those into an analysis.

For now though I need to write a review.
