Bec will shrink the meteor to a more manageable size.

[Qmarx]

Due to a terrible miscalculation of scale the entire meteor swarm was swallowed by a small dog.  This sort of thing happens all the time.

Now THAT would be a major gamebreaking glitch, and maybe even a good one.

[Sensei]

John, you're a real knee-biter.

[GlyphGryph]

However, she enjoys it fully. Don't get me wrong, I like a well-done evil character, but Vriska isn't done well at all. Instead of provoking awe or even comedy at the audaciousness of her actions, Vriska is just sickening.

As I said before, I believe, she doesn't kill people because she enjoys it, she kills them because its her job. It's what she does.
And its important to like what you do.

[Jim Groovester]

Here's something that occurred to me while reading the updates earlier today: John is exactly Vriska's type. A good-natured, impressionable doofus who is seemingly always cheery.

Then there's this:

AG: Your timeline is my we8, and suddenly you are all tangled up in it, wriggling and helpless.
AG: Isn't that cooooooool????????

This is exactly the sort of position Vriska likes the people she has crushes on to be in: completely helpless to her.

The general point of this is that I expect there are going to be some interesting interactions between John and Vriska in the future, because there are an awful lot of things that suggest romantic interest on Vriska's part. There's not enough to say for certain that that's what's going on, but that's the feeling I get.

[Jim Groovester]

Yep, definitely a LOTR thing going on with this comic.

[Solifuge]

AG: Your timeline is my we8, and suddenly you are all tangled up in it, wriggling and helpless.
AG: Isn't that cooooooool??
EB: meh.
EB: so, you seem to like 8's a whole bunch, and i guess you are like, kind of spidery themed or something?
AG: Yeah!
EB: haha, spiders are gross!
AG: Fuck you!!!!!!!!

Loved that bit at the end. Go John!

And even then she was serving to protect the whole of troll society from the vast glub, as well as feed her lusus, so it's not like she's entirely unjustified.

Protecting the world from the Vast Glub? Oh come on. She built Eridan a doomsday device. She's completely okay with having to kill people all the time. She'd probably like it better if everyone didn't hate her and karma wasn't always biting her arms off, but the killing part doesn't bother her in the slightest.

And you know what? If Vriska was genuinely a broken and troubled individual who was stuck in an impossible situation because of that, long since past the Despair Event Horizon, I might have her higher up on my troll list.

However, she enjoys it fully. Don't get me wrong, I like a well-done evil character, but Vriska isn't done well at all. Instead of provoking awe or even comedy at the audaciousness of her actions, Vriska is just sickening.

And you know what? SHE'S NOT EVEN A VILLAIN. She's on the same side as the other trolls, working together with them to win Sgrub. She seems to have stopped killing and crippling her friends, and the only strangers left to kill are the four human kids and the residents of Derse and Prospit. She killed hundreds of people and GOT AWAY WITH IT.

Troll society is generally more relaxed about that sort of thing. The closest thing Alternia has to law enforcement are the Imperial Drones, who mercilessly kill those who don't fill the romance requirements. The other trolls didn't really make that big a deal about her killing other trolls. Lying about not killing other trolls, and killing and crippling her friends were the things that cemented her huge bitch status. And from what I gather from her pesterlogs with Equius, even that is pretty much business as usual for the blue bloods.

Addendum:
I read the bit with Troll Andrew again and found this.

No, this is MY LIFE we're talking about here. Bullies. Wolves. Musty attics. Huge spiders. Did I mention the spiders? Let me tell you, I got HELLA spiders up in this...

FORESHADOWING! IT WAS VRISKA'S ATTIC ALL ALONG!

[Spade]

Update

[Karnewarrior]

As far as I'm concerned, Vriska was responsible for 3 unnecassary evils:

Aridia: Forgiven by way of Aridia killing her.

Tavros: Forgiven by Tavros personally.

Terezi: Forgiven by Terezi. Also slapped by Terezi.

The genocide was more necassary because as was pointed out she was preventing the Vast Glub. So then she gets into the territory of: Is the SCP Foundation 'Evil', or just massive assholes?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Yes.

[Duke 2.0]

 I don't think she had anything to do with protecting the world from the glub. Her only intent was keeping spidermom fed and having fun. Granted she does have some justification for keeping herself alive so she won't be horribly eaten by spidermom, but it's just personal survival and noting like keeping her whole species safe. Eridan and Feferi were the only ones concerned with that stuff. Eridan and Vriska worked together because hell, you already have orphaned trolls/purposeless Lusi, may as well make use of 'em.

Spoiler: This is the only thing I feel sympathy for her over (click to show/hide)

[ToonyMan]

I noticed this yesterday with Duke,


Glub!
