Fun fact: we can acknowledge that Vriska abused Terezi when their relationship was flushed, and simultaneously acknowledge that they are both healthier and happier together in a pale relationship than they ever would be apart, given the circumstances of their universe.
obviously, the two are individuals, but so much of their characterization is tied together, if you try to logically explain half of the story without explaining the other, you don’t even have half of the understanding
(Terezi) and (Vriska), too, are important to the understanding of Terezi and Vriska’s endgame relationship.
(click through for what essentially amounts to an essay on their relationship status throughout chronology, and my own thoughts)
I don’t have much to add to this–just that I’d never read Terezi and Vriska as being flushed that early on before, and it’s an interesting reading since I think the feelings are definitely there, if repressed.
Unsure how I feel about Vriska and Terezi’s moirallegiance being healthy, too, but I’m genuinely not sure how the comic is aiming to present that and suspect I won’t until the Epilogue and Terezi finding Vriska in the bubbles. Guess we’ll see!
Either way this was an interesting read and I’m in a vrisrezi mood and jesus fuck i’d never seen that kiss panel so that exists. Vrisrezi is gay
