#'my homestuck theory is that we need to INVERT vriska to a GOOD version of her EVIL class' OKAY CHERUB GIRLLLLLL

i swear the more i think about this the more likely inverted vriska in hs2 feels. like obviously not 90% likely or even 50% likely but tbh. 10 or even 20% likely. and as tiresome as i found inversion theory as a lens to analyse the original homestuck through i don't think i would even be mad if hs2 pulled it off really well for just one character. i was thinking about this last night about how enthusiastic so many people seem to be for hs2 to explore classpect further than homestuck did and how much i dont really want that LOL like partially because i dont care about classpect broadly speaking but also bc i feel like classes and aspects were part of the original homestuck's symbology and if you want hs2 to explain that symbology you're basically asking for hs2 to retroactively explain parts of homestuck. which i don't think is what something like hs2 should be for. hs2 should be able to do its own thing and move forward rather than forever lingering on the past and stuff like the ultimate self already gives them the opportunity to do exactly that. so what i really want is for hell tier vriska to be something new that expands upon what hs2 can be rather than on what homestuck already was. and ok this post went on longer than i thought so i want to reiterate i do not really think inverted vriska will happen nor is it something i necessarily want to happen but i just think it would not bother me if it did happen and the fact that it's something i can even consider COULD happen speaks to the magic potential hs2 has right now. and i think delivering an epic twist on one of the fandom's most long running, in/famous and unkillable theories is exactly the kind of thing that a pseudosequel like hs2 should be allowed to do. also the fact that it was literally lil calliope who put vriska here... like when you think about it does inversion theory not sound exactly like the kind of shit calliope would come up with
