Oh gog. Is there anything Hussie could do to make me hate Vriska more? Seriously. First she is a just plain BAD character, then she is batshit insane, in a way that isn't enjoyable, and now? Now she's going for the "hard exterior, insides that just can't take it anymore" cliche that was never a good way to get sympathy.
Knowing Vriska, she's probably making all this shit up, and is just stalling until BN teleports to the castle and slices him in half, permanantly ending John until Hussie pulls another random revival card out of his ass.
Thing is? This is more likely that Vriska actually meaning it.
I actually like this. It's pretty clear she just hit the despair event horizon.
I like it too. She's feeling bad about killing Tavros, and
that is what's really freaking her out. She's worried that since she can't emotionally handle a perfectly ordinary murder, she
might not be as badass as she thought. She's starting to consider the theoretical possibility that the indestructible demon with the powers of a First Guardian might actually be a match for her. It's a deliciously warped way to handle the concept of regret, just like Karkat's "past me is an asshole" thing.
The bloodstain on Sollux' shirt is definitely symbolic for something or other. It also looks like his head in the last panel was antialiased before being converted to eight-bit color, which is probably also symbolic for something or other.
It looks that Terezi went missing AGAIN and Karkat didn't get a chance to warn her about Gamzee. Then again, Karkat could have just UNBLOCKED her and messaged her on his own computer.
I bet the brightness is Kanaya turning more lights on to make the meteor more like a proper vampire lair.
