[@dave1049]

No, the indigo blood caste is passive. They follow orders. Aradiabot killed Vriska because she was supposed to do it in order to keep the timeline alpha. Temporal inevitability.

[@envy2682]

Sorry 'bout the necro, but the indigo blood caste is extremely violent. Equius himself says he gets angered very easily and can only keep it down because he has such a great moirail, and also because he vents all of his anger on his robots.

Can we take a minute to talk about how fucking strong Vriska is mentally to have the ability to control (sort of) 3 MINDS at once, through this reacharound in which she controls tavros’ mind to control the dragon’s mind to control terezi’s mind? At essentially the age of 13 in human years, no less.

[@dezember25th]

Agreed, on top of the fact that she just lost her main psychic power of her 8 Eye, and her arm, she still pulls this off solely with telekinesis.

Lets talk about 1:53 to the end. I heard this one unused Homestuck song called 'Mannequin', and it sounds a LOT like 1:53 to the end of this song. I think that's the reason why this song is called 'Crystamanthequins'. It's a mix of 'Crystalanthemums' and 'Mannequin', making this song.

You see, being a good character and a good person are very different things. Good characters have depth, and aren’t just cardboard cutouts, and good people do good things. Vriska has quite a bit of depth; I mean, look at her insults. According to Karkat, they’re Vriska’s way of redirecting insults on herself to other people. She’s not a good person, at all. She threw Tavros off of a goddamn cliff because she felt like it.
