Trollian has been our constant companion for the last 500 pages - and now it symbolizes the end of our journey. It’s a nice way to bring things full circle.

Our color symbolism is starting to get a little tangled. Aradia and Karkat are represented by two colors now, and they alternate between both.

Looks like we’re picking up right where this flashback left off. Vriska is the one who will Make Her Pay - and 'Her’ refers to Terezi. 

Vriska is about to blind her - but what’s her play? She could easily have Sollux do it, but I’m sure he’s not the only wrench in her toolbox. Are we about to see some Dream Self shenanigans?

Tavros? 

Why would sh

SHE CAN FUCKING DO THAT? 

Sollux used psionics under Vriska’s control - but I assumed she needed the Mind Honey to activate them. Plus, Tavros has a much more sophisticated ability - he’s not just firing eye beams, he’s communing with another mind. 

And you’re telling me Vriska can do this by fucking proxy? This must be an incredible balancing act - like using a claw machine to operate the controls for another claw machine.

Talk about fine control. What the hell are this girl’s limits? 

It doesn't look easy, though. She can control people pretty casually, but this chained variant seems to be taking a lot out of her. Granted, she just lost an arm. 

Fuck, she just lost an arm. Can’t this wait till tomorrow, Vriska? 

Vriska is two steps ahead of me - I didn’t even think about using the dragon. She’s attacking Terezi, by controlling her lusus, by controlling Tavros, while bleeding to death on the floor. 

esta miña mao espida

aloumiñate vento de beixo perdidos...

obxecto de noite sen noite que che esquece trillas dá  camiñada...

doce bico da ollada recoñecerás ao navegante?

dedos que inventan o vento causa...

e logo se fose a túa boca unha pequena roda infinita dos dedos     de todas as mans           e de todos os ollos onde todas as caricias serían ás de sombra ou ar de verán na ilusión de ser amado

desertos
