I just want to tell you guys how happy I am that Vriska is acting like herself. When I read "people who like the character typically work with writing them", I was slightly concerned that she'd be changed to make her more tolerable or seem nicer. I'm hopeful this means good things for her character, because I'd actually like to see that theme of bettering herself rekindled.

Under ideal circumstances, “liking” a character in this context means being familiar with their flaws as well as their strengths, knowing them at their worst but hoping to see them at their best. We’re fortunate to have multiple people on Team 8 who fill this role for Vriska, so I am hopeful that readers will feel like this is 100% Genuine Vriska, Accept No Su8stitutions ;;;;)
