Or, and stay with me here for a moment cause this is crazy, maybe, just maybe, perhaps, Vriska is a total lying bitch and there are no god tiers, she just wanted John dead.
I don't think that would make much sense. If John doesn't become more powerful, Terezi wins. Unless the game ruse was a distraction, and Vriska has been manipulating Terezi all along, and frankly,
I don't think she could pull that off.No you motherfucker, no. I will not get over it. She gets a free fucking ride every time this happens. And now it turns out her own death WAS to grant her more gifts instead of it being an accident? Fuck this and fuck the concept that we should get over this.
Oh, not you. You were hating Vriska all along. That was to all the people treating this as some kind of turning point. "Causing the death of every agent on Prospit twice", now THAT could have been a turning point. But John? Seriously, this has been foreshadowed SO MUCH. Like, the first pesterlog with John (from John's point of view) was basically Vriska saying that she was going to kill him.
As for Aradia killing her, now that I think of it, that might actually have been a deliberate effort to make Vriska more powerful. 0_0 Aradia did regain some emotions after getting a robot body, but the fatalism remained. She was taking orders from her future self to dispose of the Black King. And her action immediately after beating the stuffing out of Vriska was to skip to the end, which kind of implies that the Aradiabot who killed Vriska came from a dead timeline where something happened to make the game unwinnable, and the beating fixed the problem.
I'd guess that either Vriska killed one of the other trolls in the bad future, and the robot beating actually made her a nicer person for a couple of days; or that Vriska wasn't strong enough to kill the Black King, and Aradia needed her to get to the God Tiers. Possibly to get the luck draining attack. Something like that sure would be useful if you need to roll a 64 to sunder the Black King's scepter.
