is there any possible way to brute-force vriska into positive character development
#WARNING: endless yapping in the tags#am trying to write a fic. am currently stuck on what to do with vriska#there's no sgrub but i want to keep the whole revenge cycle because its so compelling. yes i know it doesnt make sense without the game#constructs like doc scratch being present. my excuse is uhhhhh idc#in any case. as satisfying as it is for many (including myself) to see vriska get beat to shit by aradia in [s] make her pay it basically#does nothing but reinforce vriska's might makes right worldview#also she got tiger afterwards so like. no consequences really#she doesnt even hate aradia or anything afterward. she hated aradia for being boring and dead but was cool with her beating her up#i read a post recently that basically put it as vriska being unable to understand why her friends don't want to be friends with her anymore#after she kills and maims them because SHE is perfectly fine remaining friends with them after they kill and maim her#and i really wonder if part of it is because she never experienced permanent consequences for her actions? because of the way that fate was#supposed to swing for the purposes of sgrub and stable time loops and shit she ends up 1: getting robo replacement parts 2: god tier and 3:#dream bubble afterlife. and besides nobody in homestuck stays dead its a whole thing#and she doesn't even get to be shunned by her friends because theyre forced to work together to win sgrub#and this is how it all needs to be for the timeline to work out and all that#therefore in a world where there is no game and death is permanent would vriska end up feeling the brunt of her shitty actions and their#consequences more acutely? would being forced to undergo some of the shit she imposed on others (no matter the motive) give her some#perspective? walk a while in another's shoes and all that#i think that maybe if vriska experienced real consequences even if its just the whole loss of limbs thing that might change her character a#little bit#it might not fix her. but it might do something#maybe it pushes her even further into the mentality that has her fighting against the whole world to assert her status as the bestso she ca#comfortably sate her ego. maybe its the opposite. i really don't know. halp#(also im assuming for this situation that nothing meaningful has changed about alternia or the alternian empire and the system that these#kids live under. because its my fic and i get to choose the worldbuilding)#so tavros aradia terezi etc. situations alongside vriska's are even more precarious because the threat of culling is actually real and not#easily escaped when they enter the game. would that situation make her wisen up a little to the pain she put her friends through#or again just push her further into that good ol alternian might is right mentality#maybe it depends on whether spidermom is still around and still mentally abusing and eating children. can't discount spidermom#and the whole hemospectrum thing also makes it easier for higher bloods like vriska and terezi to survive life-altering injuries like the
