What If A Rat Said Cheesus Christ

why you should vote for vriska in the 2023 tumblrwoman election

@lutzlig is hosting a series of polls to determine who the ultimate tumblr woman is. love her or hate her, here is why she is objectively the most fitting candidate for this title:

1. she's canonically attracted to women all throughout the homestuck series as well as transfem in pesterquest. SHE HAS A GIRLFRIEND!! she is without a doubt an LGBTQ icon

2. THIS IS THE HOMESTUCK WEBSITE. homestuck ABSOLUTELY dominated tumblr during its peak. homestuck is an integral facet of tumblr's early culture, don't forget your heritage. homestuck was even ranked #6 in the top webseries of tumblr in 2022, surpassing other popular media such as MBMBAM, heartstopper, WTNV, hazbin hotel, HLVRAI, sanders sides, RWBY, and TMA. we were here from the beginning and we're here to STAY. and vriska has proven that she has stood the test of time.

3. she's instantly recognizable. practically everyone who's been online during the 2010s has heard of her one way or another due to just how prevalent she is. you could even argue that she's the most recognizable homestuck character out of the entire cast.

4. she invented an entirely new genre of discourse. we all know that she's infamous for frequently starting arguments on forums so drawn-out and aggressive that they had to be locked. people still argue about her TODAY. after THIRTEEN YEARS!!! she is perfect for tumblr

5. she's an incredibly interesting and unique character. she's somehow both a protagonist and an antagonist simultaneously. you want to hate her and you want to feel bad for her and you want to see her die and you want to see her come back to life. her characterization is so complex and nuanced, she's both a victim of abuse and an abuser. she breaks all rules and expectations. you never know what she'll do next and there is nobody else quite like her

6. her personality embodies tumblr's culture perfectly. she's a nerd. she's a gamer. SHE'S WEIRD. she's an outcast. she roleplays. everyone hates her. everyone loves her. she's bold and she's brash and she'll only go down kicking and screaming and fighting until the bitter end. they've tried to kill her so many times but she always sticks around, just like our near and dear website

HOLY SHIT

What do you think a knight of hope could be like?

Hmmm.

The Knight of Hope

Knights are a fun class. Maybe you all like the fact that I think that they're passive. Dunno.

Knight - passive exploitation class, one who serves aspect, or serves through aspect for others.

Hope - control over positive emotion, and hope itself.

The Knight of Hope is one who serves Hope, or serves through Hope for others.

The opposite to a Knight of Hope is a Thief of Rage.

The Knight is going to be one of the more offensive defense players. They're able to weaponize the Hope of their teammates, and if they get them hopped up on the simple belief that they Can, then the team is basically unstoppable.

Even the littlest bit of Hope in any of the team members can be exploited and expanded.

The Knight's going to be the motivator. The one who says "we can do this because I believe so and you do too" and everyone will go along with it. They aren't leading the party, because they're not fit for that, but they've got your back regardless.

Knights often put up a facade ghosting their opposite aspect, as they start out with a small deficiency in their aspect. This means that, in the beginning, the Knight of Hope might act more like a Rage player, being a downer, someone who didn't have a lot of Hope in their own life, so they don't have any as a result. Once they get over this barrier, though, they'll really be able to turn the tides.

They're the type to believe strongly in something until the moment they realize that it's futile or simply incorrect, and this could either be from fact or the Knight's own insecurity, so having someone to support the Knight will also help.

Pre-God Tier, I see the Knight of Hope as someone who's had a lot of letdowns in their life, empty promises leading nowhere and they just need that extra push to keep them from going hopeless.

Though so long as they can overcome these challenges, the Knight of Hope will make for an excellent player and an even better friend.
