#Omega Kids

[drcrispy06]

I can't imagine how Vriska felt after finally achieving semi-normality after being in the plot point for eight years just to be ignored and talked over by her peers who have an inherent distrust of her (which isn't entirely unjustified, of course) and then seeing Yiffy and the other Omega kids who haven't even known her for that long take initiative and rebel against their shitty parents to stand by her. Seeing these kids listen and look to her for guidance and an escape from their doomed planet probably feels so daunting but it also heals something deeeeeeeep in her soul to take on a guiding/parental(?) role like this.

Is fucking off with an older woman and your friends to a different timeline to play a horrifying game that will end the universe the smart move? Probably not. Is it reasonable to understand why a bunch of punkish, rebellious teens would decide to do this? Of course, especially Yiffany after everything she's had to put up with.

Things that are true about the Omega Kids genetic relations to one another:

Tavvy is John and Jade's Brother (via John/Jade also being genetic kids of Jane/Jake)

Tavvy is Harry and Yiffy's Uncle (via same as above)

Harry and Yiffy are cousins (via John/Jade being siblings)

Harry is Yiffy's Uncle (via Roxy being Rose's ectobio mom)

Vrissy is Vrissy

My theory for how Rose and Dirk's game is going to go is that they'll each have 4 kids of their respective species, but then somehow the candy kids will connect to their session, but before Dirk can intervene and wipe them out, Terezi stops him and says that she's joining the game, with the candy kids as her champions, thus putting them under her protection - and she'd be able to tell if he tries to control them, too, meaning he'd have to truly leave them alone.

I love using other ppls words to describe characters it’s funny to me, might make more of these

The way the waist scarf wraps around the kids is interesting. There's a loop on Harry's end of it, but he's outside of it and barely clinging on, and it's juxtaposed diagonally with a loop effortlessly coiling around Tavvy. Vrissy's is curled around her waist like Vriska's, hands raised and apprehensive. And Yiffy is pretty much doing a trust fall with theirs, just barely keeping them contained whilst they flip off the reader.

Makes me think it's in relation to their roles within the narrative; Harry is the only one who has to cling to it, like he's being left behind in the same way John has left him and his role as his 'redemption arc' unfulfilled. Vrissy follows on out of desperation to not fall behind, but is left unsure whether what she's gotten herself into is what she wants. Tavvy is caught up in the repeating cycles of the story, but finds it uplifting (lol). Yiffy is going along for the ride but they sure as hell are going to spite the audience the whole way.

Also I like how "Kids: Escape from above" makes it sound like Vriska's taking them to hell, since heaven is 'above'.

My guesses of what the Candy/Omega Kids' Classpects will be

Currently, we lack information on both the classes and aspects of all the new BC-original characters. But since they all seem to be entering the game, and Vrissy in particular has been confirmed to have a god-tier outfit, it's safe to assume that they'll have classpects.

A theory that's been common since the original launch of ^2 is that the Candy kids will have the Classes & Apects which remained unused by the Beta & Alpha kids. I agree with this, as continuing the pattern would let the team examine the less explored parts of the classpect system, and help separate the Omega kids from their parents. Furthermore, I think that the new kids just represent the unused aspects very well. So, as for which person I think goes which which class & aspect, I believe the following: Yiffany "Yiffy" Longstocking - Sylph of Rage Tavros "Tavvy" Crocker - Bard of Doom Harry Anderson Egbert - Mage of Blood Vriska "Vrissy" Maryam-lalonde - Thief of Mind

I have considerate faith in my aspect guesses, though less so in my Class guesses.

As justification for Yiffy being Rage, I am simply going to post this excerpt from Page 562 and the EZ Rage description and let them speak for themselves.

As for her being a Sylph (with sylph meaning "understands their aspect"), I think her attitude of thinking she understands everything about how the world works fits that description.

(Alternatively, she could be a Bard because her muteness and the orderly bullshit she's dragged into [like being held captive or, even worse, private boarding school] prevent her from showing her rage at all times [in a similar manner to how Gamzee's sopor, Kurloz's sewed lips, and dirk's overthinking suppressed their aspects]. Not to mention, her love of watching shit get destroyed. This class has a blatant issue, which is that she shares it with Gamzee, which is why I have my doubts on it despite it lining up so well with her character.) As for Tavvy, I say he's Doombound because of him being the Crockercorp CEO's son. Being in that position, he's been put onto the side of the organization/empire that's brought most of the suffering and conflict currently encapsulating Earth-C. Tavvy's whole attitude also has an aura of 'doom and gloom,' to it, even in comparison to the original Tavros Nitram. Also, it should be noted that him being Doombound would be an interesting subversion of Jane & Meenah, the previous Crockers, being lifebound.

I say he's a Bard because he goes against the Doom-full situation he's been stuck in, albeit in minor ways. He's allied with the resistance, and is dating the daughter of one of the main resistance leaders. And despite him not being the most optimistic, he doesn't let it show too much. Harry and Vrissy were a bit harder for me to decide on. Starting with Harry, he's described as a "social climber," in the patreon commentary of the page where we saw his phone, works with others for musical plays, and appears to be the person who's most into the celebrity-esque role thrust onto him by his literal-son-of-god status. He also appears to be closer to his parents than the others are, or at the very least talks about them more. Being bloodbound would give yet another candy kid an inversion of their parent's aspect, as he's the opposite of John's Breath. Lastly, I want to add the anecdote that when Vrissy makes fun of Tavvy for his genocidal parent during the pre-hiatus run, he's the first person to say that it's not cool to bring Tavvy down for that.

Mages are a... confusing class, and one with very little to work with. My personal (and admittedly unpopular take) is that it's the Active equivalent of either Heir or Maid. Since the role of popularity is something which has been thrust onto him more than note, and because he gets dragged along with his parents' feelings consistently, I think it fits.

Lastly for the Omegas: Vrissy. One class and one aspect remain: Thief and Mind. Firstly, I would like to mention that Vrissy has not once been shown bearing the Scorpio sign. It's nowhere to be seen on her outfit, and when she texts someone her face is used instead of any symbol. As such, there's nothing tying her to Light, Despite Vriska and Aranea both being Lightbound. Considering that this story has gone out of its way to never associate her with Light, I believe her aspect is something else. My best guess is Mind. I say this because unlike Vriska, who's usually going straight into things without a plan, Vrissy consistently comes up with a plan before taking a step forward, though given that she's still a Serket, this usually results in her arguing with her friends while trying to make said plans. Finally, Vrissy being Mindbound makes her a Serket with the Pyropes' aspect, while her being a thief shows some inheritance from Vriska.

The previously mentioned arguing is also why I say she's a Thief. She's the one making her partners go through impulsive shenanigans for her, may it be to hide a body or to crawl through a window for a makeout session. Also, her improved Vriska mind control abilities enable her to literally steal minds.

Aaaaaannndd that's it. I was originally going to conjecture over the Deltritus kids as well, but I'll save that for another post since this one has gone on long enough. Just as a bonus: Harry, Vrissy, and the Satyrs (Dirk's Species) are Prospitan, while Tavvy, Yiffy, and the Nymphs (Rose's Species) are Derse. Why? Because it came to me in a dream goodbye
