Some backup would obviously be helpful here, but Terezi keeps insisting that Vriska is hers, and hers alone. At this point, it's hard not to read this relationship as a nascent kismesissitude.

There's another angle to this conflict, as well. The existence of Mindfang's journal makes me wonder who else might have left memoirs behind. If Terezi has access to the writings of one Neophyte Redglare, then she might be compelled to finish what her ancestor started, and take that Serket down.

Based on the Doomsday Scale's proximity to Terezi's hive, we can be pretty sure that Redglare had some influence over her descendant's life....

... and besides, Terezi is wearing the exact same glasses as her ancestor. She must have got them from somewhere.

:(

Nepeta, we hardly knew ye. Why couldn't this cat have nine lives?

TG: youve decided to take her down then GC: 1 GU3SS SO TG: you dont sound that psyched about it […] TG: are you feeling guilty TG: like second guessing whether she deserves it GC: NOT 3X4CTLY

Terezi's pretty well-versed in Sburb's game mechanics, so I wouldn't be surprised if she knew about God Tiers. Perhaps, then, she's second-guessing whether Sgrub thinks Vriska deserves it - whether her death would truly be tagged as Just.

...and, if I was Terezi right now, I'd be particularly uncomfortable with the possibility that Vriska doesn't stay dead. If the laws of the multiverse don't think she deserves to die, then what if my entire worldview is wrong?

Oh, interesting. I've speculated that Terezi killed Alt!John in order to punish the kids - it was the obvious subtext behind her actions. I never expected her to actually admit it, though.
