i feel like as a thief Vriska kind of… absorbs those she sees as role models into her personality? like when in enviornments that are stressful (all of them for her, at least when shes alive. girl is constantly in fight mode but thats a different topic) she models herself after Mindfang when shes feeling a little evil or The Summoner when she wants to play revolutionary. In the bubbles shes more passive as she stops trying to be plot relevant, mimicking the closest person to her (John, Meenah, i fink tavros to an extent but also i think they rubbed off on eachother in tavrisprite). Idk, it could be a Vriska thing or it could be a thief thing. what do you think?

i think this is a vriska thing, because our other thief (meenah) does not do this. meenah is incredibly confident and secure in her persona, while vriska . . . isn't. as you said, she's in a near-constant state of bluffing in both life and death, and the difference between a bluff and a persona is that you can call a bluff.

and i feel like throughout the comic leading up to and immediately following her death, vriska does have this subconscious mindset of 'please, please call my bluff' but when anyone does it's always a Test and the only way for vriska to win is to double down, gambling with the lives of other kids, her own friends, and eventually entire universes, until it reaches the point where the tables must flip and vriska calls terezi's bluff.

but terezi was never bluffing, and had already made up her mind to put a stop to the escalation. SH3'S BL1ND, R3M3MB3R?

and we must remember that vriska's aspect is light, rather than heart---she doesn't steal personalities or relationships, she steals the spotlight (and, i guess, luck). this adoption of traits of people she wishes to emulate is unrelated to her tendency to steal the show, to beat the odds, and to come by knowledge through duplicitous means.

personally, i think the character informs the class, not the other way around. classpects ARE predetermined from the moment the player enters the game, BUT i do believe players have the free will to develop in such a way prior to the game that while their aspect and lunar sway may have been set in stone, the duds they'll be rockin' when they rise from their quest bed are (conditionally) a wild card. A confident, braggadocious, abraisive personality and an ability to instigate and escalate drama are two of the big commonalities we see in our thieves (among other things) and whether this comes from a natural tendency to be like that or an ossified survival tactic in the face of unimaginably gruesome horror (or a mix of both!) does not matter to the game.

if vriska had grown up in a place of safety and security, she wouldn't have developed the necessary "hallmarks" of the thief class and probably wouldn't be recognizable to us as vriska anymore. see: aranea and (especially) vr*ssy.

TL;DR, vriska doesn't act like that because she's a thief, she's a thief because she acts like that.

vriska for vriskasweep! also jade and/or terezi if you want to ^_^!!

(I'm bad at remembering exact lines so for 6 ill give you a moment instead)

VRISKA MY GIRL #vriskasweepisrealinourhearts

1: vriska serket is the bisexual murdergirl ever. maybe not the one we need but definitely the one we deserve

2: vrisrezi is the only option. nothing else exists they are everything. they are the blueprint. if girls arent killing each other are they even really in love

3: vriska and egbert. i think their earlier interactions are very sweet and in my soul i think that they should become friends again. also vriska and arquiusprite? she loves that fucker and its hilarious

4: vristav. i love my girl but thats a hard Nope.

5: i think her ears are asymmetrical and it makes her glasses really uncomfortable to wear. also she makes weird noises all the time and it freaks egbert specifically out. everyone else got used to it

6: Vriska vs. (Vriska) is so good to me. recognition of the self (derogatory)

7: i too need to be the center of everything ever or die. also me 🤝 vriska: relating to people really weirdly. i dont know whats wrong with us but it is the same thing

8: everything about how she treats tavros. her other crimes are girlbossing but that shits not cool bestie

9: cinnamon roll, obviously. the Most problematic fave

jade

1: aspec of some kind but idk the specifics and i dont think she does either

2: im a davejade fan sorry do u still love me /lh karkat can come over on thursdays or smth

3: jade and feferi! they should have gotten to talk more i love the weirdgirls (my class is also witch and i believe in witch solidarity)

4: i dont really have one other than like. actually gross and illegal shit but that goes for every character

5: i think she'd be a fantastic singer. get that girl a karaoke machine! dont make bacon within a 50 mile radius she will teleport to you and eat it out of the pan

6: [S]: Cascade is the coolest thing anyone has ever done.

7: she is so so lonely. and a doggirl but in the tragic way.

8: jade has never done anything embarrassing in her life she is the coolest

9: CINNAMON ROLL! THE CINNAMON ROLL...

terepy pipes

1: she is also bisexual i dont make the rules

2: see vriska

3: dave motherfucking strider. on a less canon interactions note i think it should become friends with jane. detective and blind justice? girlboy who makes food and girlthing who loves to taste? theyre made to be besties

4: gamrezi. i also dont like terezi/egbert much but thats more me just not getting the appeal than a visceral negative reaction

5: she/it pronouns and also hoards neos but ive spent too long on this post already so just imagine any set of neopronouns and she probably uses it. she likes to tell everyone she's the pronoun dragon. of course you have teal blood and pronouns.

6: ok i Do have a quote for it. "TH3 PROS3CUT1ON S33S NO CO1N. SH3'S BL1ND, R3M3MB3R?!" she's a little fucked up tbh

7: ok this one was weirdly hard. we both have huge stuffed animal collections though

8: it thinks it looks so fucking cool drawing its own chalk outline to die in. and she's not wrong, but she is Such a fucking nerd.

9: problematic fave but i support womens wrongs

#ask game #terezi pyrope #vriska serket #jade harley #vriskasweep #(we all know she deserved it)
