having seen Aranea tell whopping lies about herself
Example?

Quote
ARANEA: It does get to 8e a little 8othersome having people fling themselves at you all the time. It's always 8een my curse.
ARANEA: Did you know just earlier today, your friend Jake could 8arely keep his hands off me? ;;;;)
ROXY: what
ROXY: no way
ROXY: ur a filthy liar
ARANEA: I've 8een known to em8ellish now and then.

I'm just wondering how much of Mindfang's life was an embellishment.  I'm going to guess, almost all of it.

Somehow I think the Aranea's ring-spawned soulless body is going to be important and deadly. 
Probably by ironically being critical to the progress of the alpha timeline somehow.
Heck, maybe it combines with Poolball Jack when building LE.  Might explain why LE can destroy souls.

The journal Vriska had was from Aranea's more badass version. So most of it was probably close to the truth.

I don't really care about Mindfang or her journal, but if some of Aranea's earlier exposition turns out purposefully untrue she is a bit cooler than I expect.

Well, that escalated quickly.

On a related note, do you people think that hope summons might have different personalities than their normal counterparts? I know we don't have much to compare with yet, but that's something I'm curious about.

BrainfragmentDirk isn't really a hope summon, he is firstly a fragment of Dirk's personality as read by Jake, caused by Dirk's weird fragmentedness; and then made un-fake my hope powers.

I think Braindirk is a cooperative effort: definitely powered by Hope, but only able to exist because of Dirk's hearty splinter affinity. He's, as far as we know, as Dirk as possible.

I don't think a hypothetical Hope Summon of any other person would be more genuinly or convincingly that person than Caliborn's alpha male was Dave. Maybe even less, because come on, it's Jake.

The thing about BrainDirk is that he is AlphaDirk as perceived by Jake. Others might find discrepancies between BrainDirk and their own perception of AlphaDirk (Most Notably Arquiusprite and AlphaDirk), but as far as Jake is concerned, BrainDirk is as Dirk as Dirk gets.

But then doesn't Jake think more highly of Dirk than even Dirk? Perhaps Jake overestimates Dirk, and therefor non-fake brainDirk is now more powerful than real Dirk...

I completely agree with this.  Could easily be why brain-ghost-dirk-hope-summon is so able to do this to Aranea.
But what happens when he meets real-dirk?  Might not be pretty.  Or, knowing Hussie, when he meets Dave?

I hope Dirk meeting BG Dirk will end up in an ultimate showdown between them to decide who will be real Dirk.
That is unless BG Dirk ceases existing as soon as he is done with Aranea.

I think we have all missed the most important question of all. Is BG Dirk more or less real than Rufio?

Well Tavros *is* a Page.
But he isn't a Hope player.

So no.
