> so like have we had the discussion about vriska’s powers being different to (vriska)’s in that she can control humans yet

there’s actually lots of stuff worth speculating on re:mind control in this update. we see earth vriska use scorpio powers, symbol and all; extended zodiac rules would seem to state that earth vriska must be bound to the light aspect like alternian vriska is. but this update also suggests our vriska doesn’t have luck powers; so is vrissy light bound but with no aspect powers, because sburb isn’t actually going to happen? or does she have different psychic powers and a different aspect binding, and is hs2 saying the two are related?

this update also has jane’s security forces wearing mind control tiaras, which it must be assumed the condesce built because despite all her experimentation, she was never able to mind control humans (she was only ever able to control jade by manipulating her animal half). so is that still true, and vrissy has power beyond the condesce’s? or have the rules simply changed now that we’re in a new reality?
