Hello, and Welcome back to

Last we saw Max was continuing his day of school, just trying to survive through the mayhem of teachers and students alike. At lunch he ran into the journalism club where he learns more about the mysterious Activities Club. Johnny managed to finally face off against Max, which ended in Max being defeated and gave Johnny the 50 cents thus ending the feud. (he really seem to want that 50 cents Collin). Meanwhile, ghosts keep bothering Isabel about a problem on the 2nd floor, making the Activities club leap into action. Directed by their teacher Mr. Spender, Ed and Isabel head off to stop the ruckus. Seeing Isabel run after the ghost, Max decided to give chase causing Isabel to lock him in a closet for his own safety.

Now let’s tune back in to see how he’s going to get out

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.

Troll Rank 5

in

1. Karkat

2. Gamzee

3. Terezi

4. Vriska

5. Eridan

6. Kanaya  

6. Tavros

8. Feferi

9. Sollux

10. Nepeta

11. Aradia

12. Equius


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

Part 116 End

So that is where I end it for today.

We get to learn more about Feferi and Eridan. Even though they have different ideals, it is nice to see them have such a pleasant and casual relationship with each other. And oh ho ho, it looks like that Feferi might reciprocate Eridan’s HEART feelings. I am honestly rooting for them to be together. They are the (literal) power couple.

I am lso, strangely enought, rooting for Eridan’s SPADE relationship with Vriska. Maybe. I like the idea of Eridan and Tavros fighting it out for the honor of Vriska’s hate. But he seemed for human talking about his romances and feelings for Vriska (even if they were pretty fucked up on the murder spectrum for both parties).

I now have a new theory that Harvey’s ship was the one that crashed in time and gave Vriska and Eridan the dice and gun. I mean, why else have his space ship look like a fucking carrier ship. (or make his carrier ship fly in space you know we never actually solved that one)

And the kids did infect the trolls. That has to be it. From Kanaya being exactly part Rose and Part Jade. Eridan is Rose/Dave/Jade mix. And Karkat is ALLLLLLL John. They somehow screwed with the Troll’s DNA. I don’t know how, probably deals with more time travel, but I think that’s what happened.
