as an aside if terezi had texted back in pickle route approximately A Lot of the problems would have been resolved before they even started lol

TSE 33 

john substituting real terezi for the fake terezi in his head in order to prevent himself as seeing the realfake world he occupies as real or viewing the fakereal world of terezi as fake. many people are saying this

TSE 33 

universal constant of all post-candy storytellng: vriska serket can and will stop at nothing to punch a hole through reality in order to reunite with terezi. glad literally everybody is on the same page about this

TSE 33 

john i can name at least two distinct alternate outcomes for your 23-year-old self that both involve the meat timeline and also terezi being on earth c

TSE 33 

it doesn't work in the context of either story but i think it's hilarious to imagine if void terezi turned out to actually be tied to the godfeels timeline instead of meat and now tse!john has to contend with knowing about Literally All That

TSE 33 

having vriska here and interacting with these people is so funny to me. like we've gone through all of TSE and now here's Vriska From Homestuck (even though everyone is from homestuck Vriska From Homestuck is a unique subcategory of being)

TSE 33 

love the inverse hs^2 parallel of tavvy getting the -y name pattern instead of vrissy and vriska choosing to take the name alteration instead.

TSE 33 

tse's vris now proves another universal constant: all Sick and Cool hs fanworks feature a vriska with a new name that is a shortened alteration of her original name. vris from tse, risk from godfeels. all the time i am seeing contracted vriskas and vriska-derived entities.

TSE 33 

trans vriska nation going strong now and forever

TSE 33 

very funny seeing vris debate the metaphysics of "vriska" when we the external observers have clearly decided on "the vriska of [x]" to determine a specific type of character in a specific type of situation. by our framework vrissy could never be a vriska but hell if vriska isn't one to say fuck you to presupposed conditions of being anyway

TSE 33 

gotta admire vris's commitment. the minute the war dies down and the infrastructure is available to her she immediately gets on constructing a way out of here.

TSE 33 

also funny to see vris in tse literally have to hand craft her escape route as opposed to pickle route and hs^2 where her escape from candy is both explicitly and implicitly involving Weird Narrative Cosmic Shit, respectively. works thematically for tse to have it this way though - there is no narrative to bestow upon you a happy ending; you want it you gotta build it with your own hands

TSE 33 

even though tse is all about the material grounding of reality's bullshit in order for people to actually live their fucking lives i still elect to believe vris has it in her to contradict the laws of the universe through grit and determination alone. she's just built different like that

TSE 33 

i think it would actually be Worse in a hell of a lot of ways but i am now envisioning the candy timeline but if vriska had also been there

TSE 33 

gotta love vris and her chronic protagonist syndrome

TSE 33, pickle route 

i love how tse!vris and pickle route!vriska's braincells essentially overlapped upon their arrival to earth c. bitches will crash land in an uncanny splinter timeline and immediately scheme to depose a tyrant and break out of the universe without hesitation. she is so real for this

TSE 33 

vris would be happiest and at the most peace if she accepted that. unfortunately no iteration of vriska in the history of paradox space ever would accept that

TSE 33 

she will succeed because vrisrezi always succeeds. fundamental axis of reality baby!

TSE 33 

callieroxy exes to friends with boundaries arc love to see it

TSE 33 

congratulations to calliope for holding the twin titles of "shittiest apology" and "best apology" in this story

TSE 33 

jadecallie works so well on so many ways in candy. i'm glad the story went this direction

TSE 33 

hahahaha imagine if this was real. imagine. man.

TSE 33 

love how everyone is equally baffled at trying to adjust to a world not built around punitive practice. it's such an unspoken parasitic tendril of capitalist thought that it really would feel alien to imagine reality where carceral and capital violence just. aren't inflicted on you.

TSE 33 

the self-actualization train never stops from keep happening

TSE 33 

after 5000 years can town finally does, in fact, have prozac

TSE 33 

earth c transportalizer logistics is one of those things i once spent way too much time thinking about so it's very vindicating to see it being also talked about in tse

TSE 33 

screaming at this. going hysterical. the obama callback except now it's marx lkfjskljfkljkljl i am losing my whole mind

TSE 33 

karkat has become an auspistice for leftist thinkers i can't stop laughing at this whole concept

TSE 33 

this is like a renaissance painting to me. artwork of immense cultural significance. im obsessed. @KC this fucks so hard

just noticed rose's headband resembles rosebot's crown oh that's a good detail

TSE 33 

commughosts specters of communism it's just hitting me right now right this second oh my god oh my godddd

TSE 33 

they should get deleuze on the council

TSE 33 

all roxys in all times always rejecting an existence that would trap them in the label and perception of immaterial and ephemeral. given everything roxy did in candy of course mom lalonde would choose to die in the sburb apocalypse rather than live on as a shallow simulated echo of herself.

TSE 33 

a callback that's somehow equally as lethal as the karkat ♣️ A Bunch Of Leftist Philosophers sucker punch

TSE 33 

it's funny reading this after everything since candy!rose has kind of levelled out into this understandable matured version of herself and now meat!rose just looks absolutely fucking deranged in comparison

TSE 33 

congrats to tse for being Literally the only candy instance that's actually sealed off from the metacanon bullshit

TSE 33 

neat how the self-determinism becoming Super Real as a result of the collapse of the shackles of canon dovetails with the collapse of the shackles of the capitalist order. love when stories have Themes. love to rotate and digest them in my brain forever

TSE 33 

every chapter in this story has been super good but this chapter brings yet another flavor of Super Good. stan through shadowed eyes now and for all time
