one of my fave things about vriska is that her character is not inherently relevant. june is core to the story and the story will bend over backwards to center her, regardless of if she's actively trying to maintain focus or not. but vriska is only relevant when she tries to be. does that make sense?

everything vriska is known for is her attempts to become relevant. outcries for attention, killing aradia and tavros, trying to go kill bec noir, and searching for the juju in the dream bubbles- they're the only things in the story that relate to her that get any focus. vriska's unintentional mistakes are never caught in the camera of the story's eye; when she is used as a character, it's always to illustrate a larger goal. the cycle of revenge, and the futility of resisting against the story's current seem to be the biggest ones- but june can just change the story to be whatever she wants.

#tackytalks #sorry not to make this about classpects again but this is about classpects #the thief of light can never have what she wants permanently #in order to keep getting story focus she has to keep pushing #and keep going and keep trying #it makes sense that in game over she would just #give up #like what's the point? this story clearly isn't meant for her #what is a thief's healthiest incarnation?#almost every other class has a ''healthy'' pattern of behavior to eventually land in #so what is the thief's?#i think the true tragedy would be that a thief doesn't get that.#vriska will never have a truly happy ending #because it's the way she was made #anyway RBs are off because i'm afraid but if i was cooking LMK and i'll turn rbs back on
