And the Troll Rank got fucked again. I feel like recently, it is due more to characters going down than actually moving up.
This is hard people. Because I am trying to separate me liking a character and me liking a character’s plot line. Because Vriska has a fucking amazing plot line, like, she is so fucked up. Cocky, arrogant, literally thinks herself as a savoir when she intentionally sets up every awful thing that had happened. That is a fun read!
But she is awful!
Like, honestly, when I started reading this, I was going to drop her by how she was treating Tavros. She was still belittling him, hating on him, backhanded complements, and even was encouraging him to do more mind-fucked up things like what she is. Like, that is fucking textbook abusive manipulation Mean Girls shit. That was going to drop her some.
But then it continued to her not giving a fuck about anyone. Not for Jade, or the humans, or even the other trolls. Like, she can say it is to keep a stable time-line, and that is true, but in reality it is because SHE wants to be the victor, and SHE needs to be the one to defeat Jack to prove it to everyone. That shit is going to drag so many people down it is scary.
And I can’t blame Scratch on what she did in this game, because he said he stopped screwing with her once she started playing. So ALL of this, is ALL Pure Vriska.
Like, my dude, no.
The only reason she is not 12 at the moment is that she still has emotions, hopes, and dreams. I really can’t identify with Aradia’s lack of emotion and lazzefaire attitude to fate and her ultimate demise. So it really isn’t any some smidge of Vriska’s ability, but from a lack of Aradia’s.
So with her moving down, people moved up.
Tavros is higher now. Yeah, that conversation with Jade and him trying to be in a relationship was awkward and weird, and yes his “super assrtive self confidence” really did come off as insecure. But how he treated Vriska, how he stood up for himself and Jade, and called Vriska out for her evil dick deeds, and admits that he is scared but still willing to throw down, yeah man. I have mad respect for that.
Feferi went down. Thinking about her creepy dream-ghost moment…yeah that still puts me on edge. While she is someone I could hang with without terrifying ghost nightmares, it is something for me to be wary of.
So the OG3 are back on the top.
For Now.
Kanaya and Equius moved up too. I may not get al of her sarcasm with Kanaya, but if she and I met in real life, I feel like her straight-forwardness and deadpan dramatics would be fun to talk to. As well as her dedication to make sure her friend isn’t hurt.
Equius…yeah he is up there. I am not sure if he should be over Sollux oddly enough. I like Sollux sass, though I am not a fan of his deprication moments. And while Equius has his….issues….he is trying to help, grew enough to try and not let his blood-caste shit be bothersome (try being the key word) and honestly…I liked him talking to Dave. He actually tried and wasn’t a total commanding douche. So I raised him. They are both still tied because I don’t know which is which, but still has to count for something.
