- The DEFINITIVE EDITION of the Vriska Unraveled is finally here...
Presented in conjunction with #SAHcon 2020
NOTE: I had to edit the music in the last part of the video due to a fraudulent copyright claim from Materia Music Publishing. Even though this is an original arrangement of Megalovania, AND the dispute was not contested in the FIRST Vriskumentary, they've rejected the claim, so I replaced the audio in the last section with CZcams's stock music, so you can no longer enjoy Vriska memes to the tune of Megalovania.

A note about Sburb: The game is NOT designed to end the universe of the players, only their home planet. That it did in Homestuck was the result of outside meddling from Lord English and his minions, and should not be considered the intended outcome of a given session. It's a reproductive system, and reproductive systems aren't effective if the number of offspring created cannot replace the adults spawning them.
All i know is that it's hard being a kid and growing up, it's hard and nobody understands

@@tathnousoxide9707 hahah!! I love Vriska, weren't for her, I wouldn't have you!
How many dream selves do we need to lose?
Even Roxy couldn't survive.
This might be a bit controversial, but it seems like Vriska *did* do some things wrong,,
>:(
Did Tavros put you up to this?
Well out of all the highbloods she have the most amount of durigatory language and harm to those on the lower caste of the hemospectrum. Even to her own group of friends the only one that really could out compete her is Gamzee in certain timelines in which he just straight up kills all of them.
she mightve committed a couple murders here and there…
the nearly hot and cold mentioned at 1:22:00 ish is absolutely a BPD trait. two of the diagnostic criteria are unstable relationships and unstable self image. The duality is a pretty real thing we experience very intensely, where one moment the object of our fascination may seem to be perfect in every way, and when we get their validation or things go the way we hope, then we feel like the hottest shit ever. But the moment theres perceived rejection, in any sense, there is a harsh flip flop.
I always thought that arachnidsGrip had to do with Vriska being infleunced, or controlled by her spidermom

As a trans woman, I don’t hate trans vriska, in fact trans rep is always good, duh. But, I hate how the only even slightly confirmed trans character is one of the most controversial and arguably one of the worst characters in homestuck. I think trans Vriska would be absolutely good and fine if we also had trans rep elsewhere, such as with June, or with other common trans and non-binary headcanons (such as transmasc Jane, bigender Sollux, Dave’s whole deal, etc. etc.) being confirmed. We haven’t seen anything in canon yet about June Egbert aside from a couple one-off lines, and it just really rubs me the wrong way that out of all the potential characters to be the one who’s directly implied to be a trans woman, it’s Vriska.
@gengar2816 what pissed you off so bad that you scoured through this video about homestuck’s comments to find trans people to be mad at?
To play devil's advocate a tiny bit, wouldn't the first trans character be Roxy?
Of course, there's the whole bag of worms as to whether or not nb people count as "trans," but the ones I've interacted with tend to identify as such.
@@cameronwallace8265 non-binary identities totally fall under the trans umbrella yeah, but with Roxy in particular it’s a bit… iffy. Mostly just because it’s in the epilogues and Homestuck^2 (not even to mention the drama about how those authors Specifically hated the idea of transfemme Roxy) but I guess that’s also true of vriska so. Yeah I guess Roxy would predate Vriska, and Davepeta would predate both as the ‘first canon trans character in homestuck’
L
wdym? viriska obv did nothing wrong
I love vriska sm i wrote an essay and forced my class to sit though a slide show presentation about her, shes awful and i love her for that
I love her for that very reason as well💀 Like girl, how did we get here lmao
please be slash jay
You missed your opportunity to call your Vriska mixtape the Vrisktape.
I think the worst thing that happened to vriska isn’t even her death but the large gap between seeing John again and their final conversation. Vriska moirailegence with terezi is sweet in that they both keep each other from going too far but that’s all it does, the bare minimum. It’s pretty one sided too because vriska abandons terezi to go be the hero against lord English just as she would have against Jack three years ago. She’s no different. Her interactions with John on the other hand show her changing dramatically.
Their relationship wasn’t perfect by any means, it was manipulative just like all things with vriska are, but the biggest growth in her character always stems from John. John is the one who allowed Vriska a space to explore and come to terms with her regrets about how she was raised. She didn’t think twice about killing Tavros because he was attacking her and so acted accordingly but afterwards held major regrets. After she dies though, (Vriska) seemingly reverts back to awful ways, or does she? No she definitely does but there’s a reason. When she was with ghost John or (John) even when they were just friends and weren’t dating she was content. But then Lord English happened.
The thing about Lord English killing (John) and (Vriska) surviving that attack is heartbreaking because it makes (Vriska) realize something important, the war isn’t over. When she died and it was just Jack Noir left she figured she could comfortably leave the matter in the hands of her friends. At the very least Jack wasn’t knocking at her door now that she was a bubble ghost right? So she puts down her sword and allows herself to stop existing as a weapon, that is, until (John) dies. Suddenly there’s this threat way bigger than Jack that just ripped her happiness and contentment away from her and (Vriska) is nothing if not a fighter so she goes right back to her old ways, her narcissism making her think this was a personal slight and convincing her it’s her responsibility to end English.
Then alive John comes along and sees (Vriska) at her scheming manipulative worst after he’s mentally at his worst after a deeply isolating 3 year journey. For all that he tried to discount their friendship as something that “was only one day” those were likely just the words of the hopeless as he’s very happy to see her when they first meet. But since they’re both not in the mentally open place they once were, (vriska)’s callous disregard for life, even ghostly life, grates on him to the point he can’t take anymore and flips on her. John’s completely in the right to be mad at her and Vriska kind of knows this, still possessing enough self-awareness to admit she’s not good but state that she HAS to be the hero here. Still, this interaction is one of the major catalysts for (Vriska) becoming deeply depressed and hanging off of Meenah later. She doesn’t know how to change so she lefts someone else make the choices for her since there’s no one left to help her heal.
What this super long comment is proposed to say is the biggest injustice done to vriska is John not being a part of the meteor crew, something that was stolen from both of them twice. Alpha John died on LOWAS and so could never meet or help living alpha Vriska, and (Vriska) died never getting to meet her John until much later. Terezi may be the moirail Vriska may think she wants or deserves but John is the moirail she needs to grow.
The whole thing with Vriska overemphasizing her gender really speaks to me. Looking back on my old profiles on Scratch and Deviantart, I'd constantly overemphasize that I was **MALE**! Oh, how wrong I was...
You probably wont respond to me but I wanna talk about your profile picture for a quick second

I think my main issue with trans Vriska is that the only one of the 12 main trolls to be depicted as trans is the same one who is routinely sexually abusive, a common stereotype about transfems, and that's _on top_ of the antisemetism, plus the only other character kate codes as trans sexually harasses her friends, as well as her coding exclusively being used to fetishize and dehumanize intersex people, it's difficult to separate these things from kate as a person, both due to this clearly being a pattern and her behavior outside of her writing
@Gengar proovably false
@Oranges did you skip over her assaulting Tavros or,,,
@Oranges 2380
@Oranges she kissed him without consent and then threw him on the ground knowing he can't get up, also yeah no shit he's confused he's a fucking victim, he had to deal with her bullshit for years and then she assaults him
@Oranges Uh, didn't she use her *MIND CONTROL POWERS* to make him want to kiss her in a flushed way?
Holy shit I'm so glad I found this I can't wait to watch it
I watched the whole thing! This is the definative vriska analysis & it puts into words why I love her so much
I have watched this video easily 6+ times, thank u funk for fulfilling a dark craving for vriska I didn't know I had.
I think you inadvertently convinced me that vriska is the true protagonist of homestuck.
Shes definitely one of the 3 protagonists of the troll sections (others being terezi and karkat)
i think shes the protagonist because her goal IS to be the protagonist. all of her actions are done to further that goal, even if a lot of them are shitty.
furthermore, caliborn is the opposite of that, where his goal is to be the antagonist, the ultimate bbeg. That's they they're the ones fighting each other, and that's why I like how they're the characters who get crappy endings. They've worked to be the most "canon" and focus all the attention on them, and in the end they get none of it, with the focus being on those who chose to go to the new universe.
@@otherlego that's actually a pretty dope way of looking at it
This desperately needs more views :( really enjoyed the vid, keep it up!!!!!!!!
Vriska did a lot wrong but I still love her a lot. John
Has to be some of Hussie's finest referential and mechanical writing.
this needs more views, awesome job man!!!!!!!!
as a trans man, holy fucking shit i used to emphasize my femininity so goddamn hard when i was a kid, to the point that every character i made was hyperfeminine. i suppose its no shock then that in reality i was questioning my gender almost daily for a good portion of my life.
yeah but what does this have to do with vriska and the fact she did nothing wrong
@Gengar bruh
@@snubcube tbh its been a year and i no longer remember what i was referencing but it probably had something to do with transfemme Vriska
I love Vriska and this Vriska video
You are motivating me to post my own omnibus of my findings on Gamzology 🤔

'trust me this is the _best_ movie'
i must recover this memory through the act of embracing homestuck >:0
will this be archived?
absoltely!
that WAS vriskas life!
the one question i have is: why didnt john stop vriska from making bec noir? and with that, keeping gamzee from taking care of the premature cherub caliborn/calliope, causing their death. boom, both of the big bads gone. (it's been shown that time loops/doomed timelines arent a problem with the retcon powers)
Is it shown that the time loops aren't a problem with the retcon powers? I believe it would still cause a paradox, the retcon powers don't "change things" so much as "make the alpha timeline different." It still has to be within limitations- However I might be wrong, I'm no expert.
if bec noir never becomes a thing, the trolls would have won their session and none of homestuck would have happened.
@@FunkMcLovin if retcon powers did cause paradoxes, john wouldn't be able to retcon to terezi when she was trying the mind powers, because her fail is what caused john to master those powers in the first place. so yeah, john could just stop all the bad things from happening.
the only real problem is that, to jump to a VERY SPECIFIC POINT in time and space, he needed terezi's "seer of mind" help, and terezi doesn't know anything about caliborn. however, she does know how vriska created bec noir and that could be absolutely fixed. either this is an "idiot plot" or hussie just can't write good endings (the second one seems way more plausible to me)
@@revolutionary_thoy just read my reply above
Bec noir is needed for LE to exist, so all doomed timelines follow LE not being able to exist... until the epilogues, which make no sense anyway.
Seriously, why would doomed timelines need to even exist in the epilogues? LE came into existence and was beaten, so the literal lord of time was dealt with... which means there's no-one forcing more doomed timelines to exist.
As of writing this comment, june egbert has still not been written. We are getting impatient, Hussie.

Yo. Was my comment deleted?
Let me restate myself.
Trans vriska was handled horrible, and the canon its mentioned in flaky af. The people behind it LITERALLY was stated by its creators that we dont even have to even accept it as canon. Its why as a trans person i dislike june, and vriskas status as MTFs, its literally in as aspect of canon that be brushed under the rug, and was written by toxic fans turn canon content makers, and the unnesary and already controversial chocolate wishes. It just rubs me the wrong way how it was handled, and its in dismissabke canon
They did the same to Sollux too, but it's WAY more subtle.
@@YujiUedaFan Yeah like I didn't even pick up on it, and like NO one thanks about it! Like I misunderstood it as oh, suddenly Kanaya and Sullix has a history of being ex friends or something
Also a further point: like the authors if you try to deny trans Vriska/June or say you don't like lit, they'll give you shit for it, despite them literally putting it canon they say is totally fair game to throw out the window and exclude from ones personal canon.
Also their reasoning for gen. Fluid eridan seems shaky at best, like because of March! Eridan like not every person who's ok with crossing dressing is gender fluid or nonbinery.
@@enderwalkgang What if trans Sollux is the only canon one though and the rest are made up BS.
@@YujiUedaFan I'd be cool with my zodiac troll being transmasc like me tbh, trans masc Gemini gamers for the win
@@enderwalkgang Better than what they did with my zodiac... Sollux needs as much love as he can get.

i fucking love you

i feel bad for tavros :[
I still don't see trans Vriska but Eh I feel nothing for it and it doesn't hurt me
She's still my favorite character
!!!!!
I'm gonna say it
Vriska did nothing wrong
I’ve noticed a couple panels from a hand drawn homestuck comic, like at 1:11:34. Who made this comic and where can I read it?
Sadly, this is from Vrisky Business, which is an unreleased finale to the Paradox Space series. As of right now there's no legal way to acquire it, but I'm sure mirrors exist if you google it.
Yeah. czcams.com/video/Pqxu-ibWWiU/video.html
Wait wait I finally get it
Vriska is Ness
The only problem I have with this video is how you pronounce scourge
And I didn't need for not only my first proper revelation of myself and reevaluation of who I am come from understanding vriska, but now a video about understanding her CALLS ME OUT FOR TOTALLY HAVING BPD AND NOT. AUTISM/ANXIETY ISSUES DUO COMBO THIS WHOLE TIME? This video is wonderful and I am under assault. Thank you. I hate it :D
(Video is amazing btw!!!!! Love it, outside of me being called tf out)
ive never read the epilogues and wasnt planning on it. glad to hear it fucking sucks lol
I was pretty excited to get into this video, since I got into Homestuck again recently and Vriska is definitely one of the more interesting characters to interpret and discuss. An hour and a half long video doing exactly that sounded great!
But twenty minutes in, I can't handle this anymore, and no discussion has even started yet. I can't stand watching any more when just the basic summary, the easiest thing to get right, is filled with dramatic misinterpretations and inaccurate information. I really struggle to have any faith that the deeper analysis will be worth listening to when even a straight retelling of the facts fails this hard.
hey, i haven't watched the video yet, is it that bad?
would you please pinpoint the dramatic misinterpretations and inaccurate information? if it really is, i mean! you see, i only got into homestuck as a whole a year ago and i'm still trying to **get** everything, which includes the characters of course!! and vriska is no exception, the video - - despite talking soul-y about our beloved spider bitch - - helped clear out lots of parts i didn't catch in the main story and events in general and i'd like to know your thoughts on it if you feel as though this isn't the way it went! (unless your ver. turns out to be bull, but i guess we'll see)
@@sylvris pretty sure its bull. im not an expert but it seemed fine to me
@@otherlego mm, alright - also i wrote that FOREVER ago and haven't rewatched the video since so i won't know yet but i have a better understanding of vk now so i guess i'll see, thanks man

What is the point of spending half an hour explaining what the hemospectrum is and who karkat is. Do you really think anyone who hasn't already read homestuck is going to click on a 90 minute video called "the vriskumentary"

"Now reformed" incorrect
In the reboot timeline she still fused Tavros with a cat... which is something he's allergic to. She also made fun of Jake, proving she learnt nothing. On the meteor she also abused Rose by constantly throwing her drinks to the ground.
Vriska is a bad person, it doesn't matter if she feels bad or not, her actions don't prove a thing.
i do see that someone with bpd did give some input on this video but as another person with bpd, bpd!vriska makes me intensely uncomfortable and i think it's bc i always read vriska as having NPD, not BPD- bpd often being a result of narcissistic abuse. so ig i projected my own abusers onto vriska. funnily enough i still like her a lot as a character, and a bpd reading does make more sense, but considering there's like... no good rep of bpd in media the idea of vriska being that makes me feel the same way some have stated trans vriska makes them feel i suppose. not a 1-to-1 bc trans vriska is Basically Canon (tm) and bpd vriska seems to just be a headcanon, but still. (still watching, may edit if it turns out it is canon, lol)
Silly girls and their silly bipolar traits (
Vriska sucks though.
Vriska has:
Blinded Terezi
Crippled Tavros
Made Kanaya's life miserable
Made Sollux kill Aradia
Broken Aradia's mind
She's also shown to have no remorse for those actions. She even bullied Jake and forced Tavros to fuse with a cat... something he's apparently allergic to. This is all meant to be *after* she's "learned" what she did was wrong too.
I know Vriska will never get punished for that, despite the fact this is WAY before she ever tried to be a hero or redeem herself. Why won't she? Well, because she's everyone's favourite "pet" character, kind of like how Slimer was in Real Ghostbusters post-season 1 and Scrappy Doo was after his initial season or two. People WILL hate her, but nothing bad can happen to her, no matter how much of a forked up individual she is.
im laughing my ass off. SLIMER????
@@FunkMcLovin Looks like someone needs a ghost busting.
i mean some of it was definitely after she wanted to be a hero but yeah
