Hussie is not an infallible genius, and Act Six in particular is FULL of continuity errors. For example: Vriska mind controlling two Cronuses when her powers were established as only being able to control lowbloods back in Hivebent. I say this as someone who generally likes Act Six, by the way. It's absolutely possible that Hussie, who was very burnt out at the time, forgot some of the minutia of his own lore. (3/3)

you don’t deserve the time of day for me to respond to all of this because you’re taking a stupid wiki argument to my blog when i told you quite plainly to discuss it on the wiki talk page… but i am gonna say if you’re going to bring your annoying agenda all the way to tumblr you should at least have your facts straight: it is actually expressly “difficult to manipulate the mind of the psychically gifted” for Vriska, which excludes more lowbloods than it excludes highbloods; she outright cannot control Aradia, the lowest, and can only control Sollux “about half the time”. it is true that Mindfang revels in being able to control the cohort of peasants watching over her execution, but only because they’re “impressiona8le spect8ors” with “weak wills”; when Vriska is able to control Tavros, it’s only because of his “simple, mallea8le 8rain”, and Vriska’s own description of her limits is that she “can’t control just any8ody. They’ve got to 8e impressssssssiona8le” - like the consorts whose minds she read. while it is true that members of lower castes are more “psychically susceptible” to psychic attacks like gl'bgolyb’s, this has never meant higher castes were totally immune: in fact the only reason Vriska doesn’t fuck with Equius more is because he has her robot arm as leverage.
