Ok the initial shock has passed, I'm thinking a sprite with two heads or a Two-Face deal. No weird feature mixing.

The more I think about this the more I keep having to suppressed my laughter. I need the next few updates NOW! Vritavsprite guys. It is a thing that has happened/is happening.

The only missing piece is Imps missing an eye, an arm, legs, and having a combination of both directions of self-delusion. Vrisvros Imps would be hilarious is what I am trying to get across.

This is the funniest thing this comic has done in a while, hooooly poo poo. Can't wait to see where this goes.

Gamzee continues to be the most important character in Homestuck by pulling nonsense like this I'm sure.

I like Vriska and wanted her to come back, but I was glad Tavros was gone (I realize that there are probably a large number of people who felt the opposite.)

From a character point, this is actually gonna be really loving sweet with how their personalities combine. Tavros is probably the one person that Vriska really really REALLY needed to understand to finally get some loving perspective and not be a psychopath.

Not really. She was already getting that perspective as she monologued to John. The problem is she got herself into a weird position where she felt she had to kill Bec Noir and wouldn't listen to reason, so we didn't get the full effect. I guess we might get it here, but that also involves Tavros coming back and, as I mentioned before- and I realize this is wholly subjective- I really was glad he was gone.

Yes, that was actually quite good, I have to give him credit for realizing that and using the fridge.

I completely forgot about Sprite Revival. And luckily, there will be no empowered Imps with Luck powers and communal abilities because this happened after she entered the Medium already.

However, Gamzee is still a murderer that killed his other friends. He never needed to kill, and that will still haunt my perception of him.

I'm imagining the other pairs of dead trolls and how they will match up.
Gamzee also has:
Equius & Nepeta
Feferi & Eridan
Sollux
They seem to pair easily into previous romance pairings.
So, does he have Aradia's body from back when Vriska killed her? Mayhaps this is how he got a hold of the music boxes?

Vriska killed Aradia long before they entered the game.

Obviously he'll somehow get Jake's dream-corpse to make things even.

vvv Eridan + Jake dream corpse-sprite. It'd be like, matter and anti-matter or something

I really hope we get a Sollux/Feferi sprite over a Feferi/Eridan sprite, if only so Eridan is still alone, even in death.

Eridansprite would be perfect with basically everyone too, but especially Jake. He'd be so jealous of him and it'd be loving beautiful.

I'm gonna guess that Roxy and Jake also get horrible troll fusions but Dirk manages to prototype his sprite with AR before Gamzee can gently caress with it.

I'm honestly 100% horrified of whatever is going to happen right now.

No body, but they probably have a few Aradiabot parts lying around somewhere...

Half of HS fans definitely felt the opposite, given all the terrible opinions I've seen on the subject. (Most of them summed up as "Poor sweet baby Tavros, being killed by that evil one-dimensional bitch!!!" and general rampant misogyny.)

Anyway, I'm split on this so far. On one hand, I have to applaud the horrified flailing reaction Hussie has inspired in us all. On the other hand.. This feels like shackling Vriska to the realm of joke character after she already had a poignant(if all too brief) character arc.

But it's still too early to say for sure how this is actually going to play out.

Vriska+Tavros sprite. A fate worse than death for all involved - which just so happens to make it possible, and something I'm gonna tell Vriska-lovers is gonna happen.

But no, I don't think we're gonna see the corpses go in all four sprites. Just because it would preclude the existence of Brosprite. Gamzee stealing the music boxes and corpses and running around time to muck things up for everyone* certainly opens any number of possibilities, but Brosprite is gonna happen.

*Or maybe he would think he is doing a good thing? Bringing people back so everyone stops hating him.

You glorious bastard.

Wrap it up, Vriskafailures. :smug:

Well, that certainly was a thing. I've been talking about Homestuck in too many places, so I don't remember if this quote has come up yet:
http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004196

quote:

CG: WHICH IS WHY [Vriska's] BRAIN IS BROKEN, KIND OF LIKE TAVROS'S BUT ON THE OPPOSITE HEMISPHERE I GUESS.

So, will a Vriska-Tavros hybrid be:
a) A synergy that makes an almost-human personality
b) Such a conflict that the poor sprite is driven insane almost immediately
c) Vriska's personality is so dominant that Tavros only shows up occasionally, sorta like how Jade replaced Dream Jade, perhaps betrayed only by typing quirk.

Three quick points:
- Perhaps this explains why Terezi never managed to run into Vriska in a dreambubble on her asteroid ride: Vriska's afterlife experience was extremely short.
- Seriously, though, I want to know what Vriska found out in the afterlife talking to Beta-John and exploring Tavros's land.
- I'm going to speculate that three of the sprites get used for Trolls, lulling us into a false sense of security so we're all surprised when the last one is used for Jake or Bro or something and ends up creating Lord English.
