Ah, yes, sans homestuck

[@UraniumCoffee]

Nice to start getting some episodes for more minor characters

[@theKobaltPossum]

I like the idea that when Vriska turns all her vowels into 8s, she gets a southern accent.

If Vriska hadn't "created" Bec Noir the trolls would have ruled over the kids universe, society would have been very different there and most likely things like The Condesce infiltrating humanity wouldn't have happened. There would definitely be some kind of unclosed time loop, which would have resulted in a doomed timeline. Of course that's ignoring the fact that Bec Noir showed up before Vriska decided to do anything.

John Cosco's wish for a vriska fridgestuck finally came true

[@nathanbrown8680]

On shoes: Vriska is a thief, an active class. Rose is a seer, a passive class. Aranea is a sylph, also passive. BKE thought that every aspect has two shoe colors given to active and passive classes respectively, mostly based on light god tier shoe colors.

Just a little reminder (in case you missed any update videos in the last month or two) that new Fridgestuck episodes will premiere every even month of 2020, usually on the 13th. Odd numbered months will have videos about Homestuck and other fandoms, they just won't be Fridgestucks. :D

[@cgoose500]

Remember how Aranea switched the story to a doomed timeline and then everyone died and John retconed stuff based on the doomed timeline?

[@nefstrider2179]

Ah, yes, Komaeda Serket from Sans Undertale.

Vriska could also reference the card game known as Briscola (in other places known as Brisca). It could relate to luck, something commonly associated with the Light aspect.

The blue John fact killed me. Im typing from my grave as we speak

[@queenaraphel7154]

Wait so this show has gone on for this long and there hasn't been a Vriska episode until now... We've been ignoring a character that has ALL OF THE RELEVANCE!!!!

[@nathanematherne]

I think the shoe color tells us whether the player's class is passive or active. Seer and Sylph are passive classes, while Thief is an active class. In other words, those with "cool" colors (i.e. blue, cyan, green, etc.) are passive classes, while those with "hot" colors (i.e. red, orange, yellow, etc.) are active classes.

Sometimes I wonder if Hussie really that much of a genius he was able to so SO many intertwining references and allusions into all his characters or if he just got stupidly lucky. It's really hard to tell with him...

[@JohnVance]

I’d forgotten just how unbelievably amazing After Us is.

[@aritimena]

I think Vriska has said before that red is her favorite color (something she shares with Terezi) and that she wears red shoes cause she thinks it's lucky

[@TartiMaarti]

I was unreasonably excited for this ep, I’ve never clicked so fast

[@drakath5727]

So Vriska rolls Blue Johns.

[@-kenik9629]

Yep, the Light aspect is about information, meaning, and luck, specifically the reduction of unwanted probabilities.
