Homestuck is pretty fucking weird sometimes, but it's the kind of weird I like enough to say "Andrew FUCKING Hussie" as a term of endearment.

[Liber celi]

Yes.
I really have to wonder where this is leading... mainly because I had no idea where it was leading before.

I like how Karkat didn't even pluck them. It's simply not worth his time.

Actually we know dead Feferi still has her powers too - she saved the Mayor's life, after all.

The life and death part doesn't bother me, even though this is the first time anything has really interacted from outside of a session on the inside.

Aranea controlling Damara into tossing stuff around is almost Hussie contradicting himself.  Troll Powers have always been a magic crutch for whatever needed to happen in the story, but a long long time ago Aradia stated that Vriska's mind-control didn't work on her.  Since if it did, their feud would never have been a thing.

The obvious answer being that identical trolls don't work the same way.  There's been several big hints that Aranea is way better at mind-controlling people than Vriska and more subtle about it. 

That's one thing I really like about this turn in the story.  Doing something nobody in the audience expected is only Step 1 of a beeg tweest.  It needs to make sense in retrospect, and Aranea had everything going for her to be another villain except the motivation (and any particular reason to be relevant).  Then Vriska found her and taught her everything about being awesome, all of which she taught herself from a journal written by an Aranea who got her wish for more confidence and initiative.

And now where Vriska fucked up two session trying to create the (then) ultimate villain just to destroy him, Aranea's going to try to prevent the creation of a villain (somehow) and fuck up all of existence.  Turns out I bet on the wrong Serket.

[Gradiant]

Aranea's also had millions of sweeps to train. Vriska, at least when Aradia said her mind control didn't work on her, didn't.

It's also possible that all that weed caused Damara's psychic defenses to weaken.

Remember that the Dancestors aren't fully identical.  They have different aspects and biology - the summoner grows wings for instance.

But Rufioh also has wings.

[Putnam]

Rufioh is the summoner.

[Slayerhero90]

Rufioh is the summoner.

Yes he is. I am beginning to think somewhere along the line of conversation that I got confused about which set of andecesedtorants we were talking about.

Does anyone know any good fanfics about the Beforan ancestors?  Alt-Tavros and all.  I'm kinda surprised it hasn't been discussed in the comic.  I'm not sure the Beforans ever mentioned their ancestors or compared them to the Alternian trollkids.

It's kinda fun to think about.  Like the Beforan kids versus the Alternian ancestors, I bet there'd be a lot of major differences.  A lot of Vriska's development suggests that she would have grown up kind and generous on Beforus.  She would do alllllll the charity (instead of sadistically "helping" Tavros the only way she knew how).  I imagine Nepeta claiming the "grinning violent manipulator" title on Beforus.

Hard to imagine Tavros being much different though.  I really don't get how he survived so long on Alternia.
