Fail. Fandom. Anon.

I've been binging over the past few days, I'm now a couple of acts (sub-acts?) into Act 6 and I've come across a new favourite quote:

AG: Look at it this way. Imagine that over the course of someone's life, they are truly capa8le of every conceiva8le action at any moment, and did indeed take each of those actions in different 8ranching realities. Doesn't a scenario like that deaden a person's agency just as much as one where their fate is decidedly etched in stone as a single path of unavoida8le decisions? Who exactly is that person who can and does take all conceiva8le actions, other than someone perfectly generic, who only appears to have unique predilections and motives when you examine the ar8itrary path they happen to occupy?

(I've written a couple of fics exploring this concept from different angles. It's a thought that resonates very strongly with me, that there might be infinite but not *every* possibility, because you are a person and your choices - whatever you choose - will come out of the unique person you are. Anyway, I love Vriska's ancestor so much.)

Speaking of Vriska, I understand she's a controversial character, but I am interested in what the general fandom thought about her around this time. I love her to bits and enjoy her so much - she's the worst but she's so much fun to watch being the worst, and there's something really compelling and rather heart-wrenching about how much she still wants to be friends and be connected to the people she likes even right after she's betrayed and damaged them horribly. I had so many feelings about the Vriska and doomed-timeline John not-a-date at the end of Act 5. What about you? What are your Vriska thoughts?

Other things I really liked about the end of Act 5: learning all about the trolls' ancestors, Karkat defeating Gamzee with the power of SHOOOOOOOOOOOSH *pappappap*, Jade's just-in-time ascension to space-godhood, the flagrant abuse of the fourth wall and additional storytelling through the site banner (though I kept forgetting it was happening and missing chunks lol).
