theres something so…… emotional abt terezi killing vriska because she thought it was the only ‘just’ option and the only way to save everyone who remained alive then three yrs later after being mortally wounded and everyone else she cared about having been killed, after going through an abusive relationship, having her eyes healed, and just losing like, everything. she calls on her seer powers to try and fix it. and she sees… that the solution is to save vriska. what seemed to be the only option three yrs ago is the very crux of everything that must be changed for the alpha timeline to prosper, despite the fact that both times, shes doing what her Sight is telling her she must. the doomed timeline where she killed vriska is clearly necessary since thats where john and roxy come from, but a by-product of that necessity is a dead terezi, simultaneously guilty of killing her friend, and saving her, and subsequently becoming a hero of the alpha timeline. this… alternate timeline terezi, who was never known by any of the alpha characters except john and roxy briefly, who was absolutely manipulated and tortured by her timeline just to create the right grounds for the alpha timeline…… shes honestly so important such a bittersweet and tragic character i s2g. and thats why when she sees (vriska) vriska as the afterlife shatters around them its so sad but its…. happy. theyre both free. im crying
pour one out for dave on the meteor who woulda been unable to make a "your mom" joke to anyone for 3 whole years without it ending up being about either bestiality or his own mother
