oh yeah and you can tell from her body language that she kind of expected More than a bunch of kiddos. I was probably laying into my point a bit too hard for the sake of uh making it more understandable I guess? to my own detriment??? words are hard and my cat is losing his absolute shit with the zoomies right now that’s not relevant but its really distracting ngl

like she’s less impulsive but she’s still rushing them along to the next important thing. she was the hero of the moment sure but nobody she knows really saw it that way. there is still that tension there of wanting to be the hero the driving force of the story while others around you see you as the Bad Guy and trying to reconcile with that.

and now that’s reading A Lot into a couple short scenes we have much more time in the future to see how things shake out just like. idk I don’t think she magically became Good Vriska because of the hyperbolic time chamber I think she just grew up to match the rest of the original cast but with the benefit(?) of supernatural therapy thrown in
