merrywetherweather:

i think i just realized something pretty interesting about the retconned timeline and why adding vriska onto the meteor somehow “magically” solved some problems.

so, right before she was killed in the game over timeline kanaya right hooks her into realizing her latent lesbianism:

because this event happened in both timelines, people maybe forgot, but vriska essentially just developed a red crush on her old moirail. so she tries to get close with her again and tries to sneak herself into the time kanaya’s been spending with rose.

and at some point she’s gotta notice these two are becoming an item and she just accepts that her crush is crushing on someone else, but then…

rose, her crush’s crush, fucking ditches kanaya on their supposed first date. instead, vriska finds her drinking soporifics and she’s just livid. “WH8T ARE YOU DOING???????? WEREN’T YOU SUPPOSED TO MEET UP WITH HER? YOU’RE THE ONE THAT M8KES HER HAPPY AND YOU CHOSE THIS SHIT INSTEAD OF BEING WITH HER?”

what im getting at here is that adding vriska didn’t just magically fix rose’s drinking problem or that vriska was just butting into other people’s affairs so they could be ready for the approaching big battle. she wouldn’t have actually thought it was a problem since there’s a cultural gap between humans and trolls when it comes to alcohol abuse. in the game over timeline karkat said the drinking made rose “more charming than usual” and didnt understand why it was a problem. i think that her motivations for getting involved with rose’s issue in particular was strictly because she didn’t like how rose was treating someone she had feelings for after she had resigned herself to not confess because she realized kanaya already had feelings for rose.

I sort of think this reading is made way stronger by the stuff I think I just uncovered which has me literally abuzz with excitement. I’m not sure if its EXACTLY like this but…it sounds resonant. Theres something real here and I think I can prove it.
