Good morning, that's a nice tnetennba!

1. How do you lose a Giraffe? She apparently scaled a cliff that served as part of the enclosure (which the other giraffes in the herd had shown no interest in climbing.)

2. Well it should be easier to find her, she's a whole ass giraffe? Yeah, you'd think, but Texas ranches are fuckin huge. The man has apparently hired a helicopter and several drones to aide the search, but no luck yet. She's been seen on some game cameras on the nearby ranches though. But she's sneaky.

just them for fun. theyre my fav thing.

I just got something SO IMPORTANT about Vriska and Beyond Canon's / Homestuck^2's Plot Point that I'm embarrassed how much I should have realized it earlier.

I was discussing with someone how awesome the entire page 666 sequence was, how it was utterly INCONCEIVABLE beforehand that Vriska could get all the self-confrontation and introspection and reform and redemption she would have needed to find true balance otherwise, how she would have to confront herself SO MUCH that before The Plot Point was entered I couldn't even IMAGINE that fitting inside this story, how she couldn't possibly have had enough TIME to do so inside the story until the brilliant innovation (I've gushed about throughout my liveblog) of this hyperbolic therapy chamber...

And then I finally put together WHY DAVEPETA was the instigator of her psychological introspection and recovery, such an incredibly long deep-dive into herself and all that haunted her. The PERFECT instigator for her prolonged journey to accepting herself.

And this forces you to decide whether your autonomy matters to you more than the approval of the group - while they'll still act like you're on thin ice either way, if you give in at this point they know you're theirs forever, because now they've established a foothold, you've shown a moral weakness, which they will brand you with so it can be used against you in the future ("hey RICE-addict here doesn't want help break into the city records office") to force you to double-down and isolate you further.
