Yeah Vriska fucked up my most of my ranking here. Thanks a lot for that.

Don’t get me wrong, I love her story line, I love her character development, I love her cocky attitude and her badass leanings.

But if I saw her in person I would be terrified. She is nuts! Recklessness, rash, evil villain vibes. She is someone I would be afraid to be friends with (and rightly so) so I feel like, if this was real life Vriska, she would be ranked lower. For my own good.

And because she moved lower, everyone else got jumbled up. Feferi and Gamzee seem like my kind of crowd to chill with, along with Karkat, so they moved up. And I have Tavros and Nepeta tied because they are sweet people, and in real life I would probably want to be friends with both.

yeah…this is a fucking shocker huh? ….Equius jumped higher…yeah….

Eridan was going down again because of his neediness. I like reading him but honestly? I feel the same with Equius. As weird as he is, he is at least honest and fun to mess around with. I don’t think I can stick him higher than Kanaya though, she can be slightly snooty but nice. So I have them tied for 9th.

It can change in a heartbeat people. Just wait.

More changes to the Troll Rank, due to the last session and the game play. I think seeing them as sprites and interact with each other really did help me majorly adjust my list. Feferi is pretty nice, well balanced, and is a pretty fun party girl. She can adapted to any situation depending on if Karkat, Terezi, or Vriska was talking to her, and is a thinker. Therefore, even though I don’t have much to go for her, she managed to jup up higher on the list.

Sollux’s puns and deadpanness is pretty entertaining, same with Kanaya, but they ended up going lower on the list. Tavros and Nepeta really shined here. They were so cute and adorable and I really do wish that Nepeta gets more screen time eventually, but their reactions managed to get them higher in the list.

Yeah Eridan dropped. A lot. He is very entertaining to read, but as of this moment with Rose…yeah he is just way way too needy for his stupid hate-mate here. Rose is baller. She did the right thing.

And would you look at that, Equius managed to rise in the ranks. His interactions with the other trolls were pretty funny, I can’t lie about that. It still freaks me out, and I was siding so hard with Karkat when the two of them were speaking, but I did have fun reading their bullshit. Plus, Aradia is pretty sad and depressing with her knowledge of “can’t change the future so just accept it” crap. Yeah….she is a bit of a bummer here. So she is back at the bottom, and Equius is number 11. Huzzah.

I have decided to try and change the Troll Rank as often as I can, so that way it will be more fresher this way. (whether or not I will be able to continue this trek is up in the air)

I guess my top two are the angst trolls here. The once that to me are currently getting a redemption arc in some way/shape/form. It could be that they have the most screen time too –let’s be real Nepeta and Feferi barely have any screen time ever – but I just really like seeing thier change, to see that Karkat and Vriska can choose to be good, and even when doing bad things they can still Try.

Kanaya went up after now understanding how her side of the conversations went, and Sollux went up because, well, I decided that I liked him more than Eridan. Why? Because I can.

Karkat still has my heart. I just can’t seem to throw him away after all that he went through (like his final memo)

I still like Vriska. Even though I literally just saw her blind Terezi, I just get the feeling that from her and Tavros and Kanaya, that she can be a good person. That she is a good person.

Kanaya and Sollux went up too. Kanaya from the Karkat’s last memo moment, and I forgot how funny and chill Sollux can be. So they got lifted.

And yeah, Aradia and Equius are tied for last. I can’t bring myself to hate Equius more, but I also can’t like him more either. So tied. Aradia also dipped lower,  ‘cause I still don’t know her personality other than “murder” and “soulless” even with a body now. So yeah, tied

in ,

Oh! That is such a good question! Why must you guys ask such hard questions here. God this is going to be tough, because it isn’t just getting higher. It is getting so high that they become the best. Oh man, that will be hard.

Nepeta:   The reason why Nepeta was so low on the list was because, we haven’t seen too much with her. So I don’t know that much about her. And the information that I do know, she is a kind and playful girl with a wonder attitude. Unfortunately that wasn’t enough compared to others who got my attention faster.

If Nepeta wants to burst in the top spots, she needs more time to shine. I don’t really know she as much as a person than the others. Second, I feel like with her cat attitude, if she manages to keep her playful nature while managing to save herself and her friends, even in the face of pure adversity, that should pull her up.

Aradia:    I liked her at first, but her apathy for the situation, her “it was always meant to be” shtick, took her down way way far. She needs to show emotion if there is any chance for her to go higher. I need something to connect to here. I liked her a lot pre-death. Where she had opinions and was defensive of Tavros. I need more of that. Maybe her dedication to go against the gods that force her in this role, a way to prove her own individuality and reclaim herself, even a spall portion of it, would be something.

Hell, as much as I hate her and Equius being together, her actually feeling rage and lust shows me that she is now much better in that tin can of a body that Equius built. So with the way things are going, she might have a chance here.

Equius:       God do I really have to? Ugh, fine. For Equius to be in the TOP 3, he first needs to be a decent ass person. Stopping all of this high-key creeping, nazi fanboy behavior. That is just to get him to neutral territory.

To be higher…he needs to be decent to Aradia. If they are going to be together (fucking hell but I’ll live) then he needs to be the best damn MateSprite and Kisememis that he can fucking be. Actually care for her, fucking ask to roleplay with his kink.

Narratively, god. Build an army of Robots. Rally the troops to take down the bad guy. Literally take a bullet for someone you love, or bonus points for someone you hate. Given his military leanings, I doubt that he will completely give up his dedication for his blood order. But if he can turn that loyalty as a way of protecting Eridan and Feferi, even at risk of his own self, then he will gain my respect in that. All the more if when he does decide that the caste system is stupid.

I had to think hard, very very hard, on this question. The reason I am answering this now instead of before is because I wanted to make sure I had a well determined list on the troll rank before I tackle something like this. Because Damn, this is a super hard question.

What would drop Karkat, Gamzee, and Terezi down to be worst than Equius?

This can either be something another troll does to go UP in ranking, or some plot thing that the three would do to screw themselves up.

For this, I’m going to focus on the latter.

Terezi:   she has a very strong need for justice. Wanting to “punish” those who were wrong. We already saw that she was chill with murdering other trolls as long as justice is done. She can abuse that. If her sense of justice overrides her thinking and she purposely targets her other friends, regardless of how that might effect the rest of the game. See, what makes this worst is that she isn’t like Aradia, where she will instinctively lash out in a fit of rage. Terezi is a lot more calculating than that. When she attacks it will be cold and detached, and that is what I would fear.

Gamzee:    I have no idea why he is so high up on the list. We have barely seen him in comparison to the other trolls. We don’t even know what his medium looks like, but here we are. I like him because he is calm, happy, always open to everyone and everything. It is probably because he is high all the time, but still. So it would be the opposite of that. If he is no longer open. If he becomes paranoid of everything that he sees. Or worst, if he loses all his whimsy and just doesn’t care. If he becomes totally apathetic to everything around him, I think that would take him down.

Karkat:     He is an angry boy, but we have seen why. He does have an inferiority complex, and lashes out in fear of anyone finding his blood. I am so happy that he is able to bond with Slick, to find someone for him.

I hated him first for attacking the Kids. I liked him now for him trying to change his attitude to the kids, and how he is able to continue to struggle with himself on how “wrong” he is, still fighting everyone’s perception.

For Karkat to be low…he can’t have a spark. He would have to shut down completely. No rage, no feelings, nothing. He accepts his lot in life, and no longer fights the system.

Or it can go the other way. He lets his inferiority complex consumes him like Monoma from My Hero Academia, where he feels the need to prove himself constantly, or feels to destroy everyone around him just to feel something.

This is the hardest question I have to answer because I can’t just saw “well he has to start world war 3″ or something because I like actual murderers more than the pacifists. This is me solely trying to judge based on personality and actions.

Here is the current ranking. The first full ranking of all of the trolls. It is hard. It is very hard to determine this list. Not only is it with all 12 trolls, but I wanted to try to do it based on their character alone. So no looking at past lists, no worrying about story lines. Who these kids are, and how well I like them.

If your favorites are low on the list, this isn’t to say who I hate the most (the only one I hate is Equius, but even then it is a disgusted annoyance than true hatred). So they are still well loved

in ,

Yeah, I had a hard about-face on how I thought of Vriska here.

What would make Vriska better:  With current Vriska, she is trying to ease the guilt she feels for losing her friends, or at the very least trying to get her group back together. So I think she is on the right track, albeit with somewhat selfish desires. To make her better she would have to feel remorse over paralyzing Tavros. I get that she kills trolls to feed spiders, Terezi wasn’t innocent in that either, and it was based on survival, so that gets a pass. But to actually understand what she did, and apologize to him.

What would make Vriska worse: betrayal would be up there. She was/is very easily manipulated by both Scratch and Terezi. If she just decides to fuck them over or just fuck the game over to screw with them on purpose, yeah that would be bad. If she somehow turns on her friends again in a fit of rage, that would be some bad points. Especially if she attacks Terezi and almost kills her. I can see a possibility of them meeting up in game, getting into a huge argument, and having Vriska control Terezi to the point of almost death. Yeah, that would be shit.  

in ,

Oh ho HOOO this is a tough one. There are so many characters, and it isn’t like I can choose villains because they are supposed to be evil. So which do I start with first?

Let’s go with Ass-Bot to start. He has to stop the creepy way he uses his kink. He is making people around him (me) very weirded out. At least ask someone first before he pulls this shit. And maybe not be a racist. this is a low bar for E to cross, Don’t Be Racist. That’s literally all he has to do to be in neutral territory.

And to make them worse, how about E making sure to keep his love program in Aradia’s new robot body, that would make him 1000x worse than before since he is FORCING A GIRLFRIEND NOW.

Goth: I don’t hate her (it is a low-level dislike), but if she wants to start being in my good graces she has to at least not look down on Rose from her perception on what John did. As soon as she figures that out, she is good. To make it worse would be to flaunt her troll superiority, but that is highly unlikely since her attitude would be neutral at best.

Rose’s Mom:  Yeah, let’s talk about the adults here. To redeem her…she would have to be honest with Rose. idk, a heart-to-heart? Have her explain the situation and they can patch things up. But what would make it worse is if she really didn’t care about Rose. If she really was using her daughter in the pursuit of science.

Cal:  I hate this puppet so much. Make things better: Actually be possessed by the soul of your brother. To make things worse: Actually be possessed by the sould of your brother. Perfect End Game: The Dumpster Fire

If you have any specific characters in mind, let me know. I’ll be glad to give you my opinion on them.

Troll Ranking 3

Just a list, no full summary because I already did one before this session

1. Karkat

2. Gamzee

3. Terezi

4. Kitty Cat

5. Sollux

-Yeah he moved up the ranks. I still don’t like his self deprecating nature, but his misguided scientist vibe I am getting from him really resonates with me here. His intent for good, and action to try and stop himself from causing bad really outshines over any negativity he shows

6. Torus

7. Goth

8. Ghost Chick

-She has no soul and is honestly terrifying. Like not in the badass way of killing someone, but as a “how does she not care about any of this, this freaks me out”. Like if I met her in person, I would be freaked out.

Honorable Mentions:

Darth Aquaman

Troll Ranking 2

in

Here are the current poll

1. Karkat (Candy Corn)

Yeah it is our Gruff boy himself. Our fluff-master himself.

Which is surprising to me because at the beginning, I hated this guy. I hated how he was rude and treating Jade and I thought for sure it would be a dark day for me to start liking him.

But then I actually did start liking him. He tends to be pessimistic, but nothing absurd. He seems to be done with exerything and just tired, but he also just keeps going? When he was talking to John, he was actually trying to be a decent person, so that helped me like and understand him to when he was still somewhat trash because I know that he can change to be that good person.

I think that what sets it for me, is that it seems out of all the trolls, Karkat seems to be the most realistic. Because he does fail, he does screw up, he is a lot like John, and is just a kid who wants to prove himself to the world.

2. Gamzee (Juggalo)

He is such a weird ass man. From the clown religion, to the drugs, and randomly eating shit. But honestly? He is a pretty chill dude. I love how he has this hippie vibe to him but still seems genuine about his optimism. He really does care for Karkat, and accepts whatever is thrown at him. I love how he refuses to listen to science because it ruins the “miracles”, so he is someone that I can see just hanging out with.  

3. Terezi

I live off of her chaotic energy. It warms my heart that she was still just as crazy as before. Her “lawyering”  was somewhat scary because of how well the drama was for her, and I fully believe she could be a super-villain if given the chance. She is able to make jokes about her blindness (and feeds off of the uncomfortableness of her enemies when she points this out), and this does nothing to stop her in her life. She is absolutely crazy and I love her for it.

4. Kitty Cat

Yeah, only just entered and she just jumped into the polls. She is TOO CUTE!!! Look at that face! How adorable.

But that isn’t the only reason. I really like how she hits it off well with Terezi. Their chat roleplay was cute and fun, and she seems like a good child for asking permission to play. I don’t trust whoever the guy she has to ask is (maybe her lusus, idk), but she seems like a generally sweet girl. 

5. Torus

Yeah, it is nice to see him and Jade talk to each other. There really isn’t any new information about him yet. He is a nice guy who tries to hard to be evil and gets screwed because of it. If he talks more like how he did with Jade, then maybe he would be higher up, but in the end the lack of information compared to the others is what kills him here.

6. Goth

She is just a snooty ass. I mean, I get why she thinks that Rose is an idiot (because of John). But then she just treats Rose like she is an idiot for the rest of the time without really looking at Rose’s responses, just because she is frustrated. She just think that Rose just puts this on. Plus, as high talking as she is, she was the idiot to talk to Rose out of order instead of having some form of pattern to talk to her. Come on Goth, seriously. She might be “smart” but she is pretty dumb.

The only plus side is that now she is coming around in terms of how to treat Rose. It isn’t much, but at least there is a change here.

7. Sollux

Ok so when we first met at the “hacker” he was a pessimistic gruff boy who knows that they were going to die, but still did his job regardless. I appreciate that.

Now we know he always seems to be a pessimistic boy with bipolar disorder. When he is in the zone, like with his coding, he is in the zone. And I do like his “I See so much I need to blind myself for the power is too great” type of storyline he has here.

The reason he is now last in the list is, while I do like him for these qualities, it’s his downer moments that I can’t jive with. his “I suck at everything” “maybe my decision is trash” stuff. I know that we were just hinted at this, and that he does have bipolar disorder, but I know people who do this, intentionally or not, and it is just a cycle and exhausting. Hopefully I can see more of his good traits later on, and maybe he’ll be able to rise in the ranks later.

Honorable Mentions (Since We haven’t gotten any information on them yet)

1. Ghost-Chick

I appreciate the eternal ghost vibe that I am getting from her. And yes, due to Sollux’s ability I believe this is her natural power. I want to know why she is in perminant hero mode. Mysterious Badass is always interesting.

2. Evil Fish

Really not much going on with this guy. Only 1 sentence, and he sounds like an arrogent, egotistical asshole from that. But really it is because of the lack of information that he last here to begin with.

Troll Ranking

So giving the amount of trolls I’ve met, here are my rankings on them now

1. Candy Corn

image

Started out as a Dick at first, but has genuinely seemed to change over the course of the arc. Actually seems like the most casual of the group, so I can actually understand a conversation with this guy. First of the Trolls to actually try and apologize so big plus

2. Chaotic DJ

image

She is an Agent of Chaos and she loves it! She is the definition of Chaotic Neutral who would try and break the DM’s campaign for shits and giggles. I have to give her props

3. Peter Lorre

image

He’s an idiot. But a dumb blushing idiot who gets flustered when things get to much for him. While his looks do creep me out, he seems to be the most friendly and innocent of the Trolls.

4. Goth Model

image

She intimidates me somewhat. Not that I am scared, but because she talks in “Rose Speaks” that I feel like I have to decipher whatever she says for the actual message. She and Rose deserve each other. While she seemed hoity toity, when I think of her as Super Literal like Logan/Logic in Sander Sides, I started liking her more. The only reason she is 4 instead of 3 is because I feel like I would be friends with Torus first due to his open nature.

5-11: Literally every other troll that has not made an appearance yet

12. Hacker

Seriously. Fuck this guy
