How the heck can I say I understand Trolls. They're aliens.. you arent supposed to understand them... if you could they'd just be weird looking humans.
But I could see where people could feel sympathetic towards her... despite her being a bitch.

One of the things I find really interesting about Vriska is that, due to her sociopathy, she not only is unable to truly love others, she's also incapable of actual hate (as Karkat points out to her).When Terezitried to kill her, blasting her arm and eye off in the process, she contacted her MINUTES later and tried to be friends again. Like she can't even comprehend why someone would hold a grudge. She always tried to get Aradia to be her friend again too, and really didn't seem to understand why she wouldn't.

@Crowlover: Yeah, there were several new characters introduced last night so you might want to stay away from Homestuck stuff until you catch up.I'm certainly not trying to say she's a good person. But she's a very interesting character.Who knows? Nature vs nurture.

Is her sociopathy due to having to feed "people" to her spider-mommmy... or just another aspect of Troll culture. It just seems to be normal to do that sort of stuff on Alternia
I think Vriska is liked because she has a pretty well developed character among the trolls. A few of them were just a flash in the pan, like Nepeta. All I know about her is claws and kitties and shipping walls.

Wow, listening to that song is making me feel all profound and pumped up and stuff.
I got goosebumps all over and I want to get in a fight.
@Blue: Oh, yeah she's interesting. But I also don't like her.
Excuse me?
As I find so much pleasure in that melts like my breath, I am always full of regret.

Scratch just didnt impress me as a villian, he was a bit too bland. I prefer Jack Noir TBH. I thought he was adorable in Cascade when he was mourning the death of Jade and putting her on the Quest bed
@Blue: I don't think everyone has gotten to that point yet. I have to admit that I didn't mind too much of his intermission; It was refreshingly direct to just have him infodump all the stuff about the troll ancestors and stuff rather than having to piece it together. My only gripe is that it relegated Jade and Dave's battle with Jack to the title bar thing.
I initially read his name as Andrew Aussie and wondered if he was an, well, Aussie.
I really want to buy the movie's poster. It would be so inspirational.

Good lord.
I hear "One Of These Nights" on the radio once today and it's still stuck in my head.
Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
