Ok. As a Vriska fan? I take issue with this.

Vriska is unequivocally my favorite character. I love her because she's complex, badass, and has a lot of potential. But she is messed up. Her upbringing was damaging - having to feed other trolls to her lusus to survive? Yeah. Her base nature is somewhat abhorrent, too. She's power-hungry, corrupt, and self-centered to an extreme.

And she was abusive to Tavros. Downright, unequivocally abusive. So yes, you are victim-blaming. None of what Vriska did to Tavros was his fault.

Actually, while the recent updates both made me very annoyed at Vriska and also punched huge holes in my OTP (JohnVris), my favorite thing about it was how Tavros finally stood up to her. I was so proud of him :') He needs to do what is good for him rather than hanging around her while she continues to use him. BUT. That is NOT to say that it was his fault that he was stuck with her before.

I want this (him leaving, Sol/Fef/Nep leaving, John potentially leaving) to be the push she needs to realize how selfish she is being and change her tune. She really needs some development right now. But this is kind of true of abusive situations irl...sometimes a strong message/ultimatum from the abusee is the push that influences the abuser to change...but it is NEVER the victim's fault that they are being abused, nor are they responsible for the abuser's behavior.

I just got really frustrated when dream-bubble Tavros decided he had a thing for Vriska. She's bad for him. She's never been good for him, even when she thought she was. And Tavros knew it, he just had trouble following through on walking away from her, or circumstances prevented it, or she followed him. He dies, and suddenly forgets that nothing about this is a good idea? Just, stop! Stop validating that behavior! Why are you validating that behavior! Just-- Aaaand he stopped, so I can't complain.

Also, if you go back a ways in the comic, it is worth noting that Tavros doesn't want to go on the pirate adventure, and he tells Vriska he won't. And then she mindcontrols him into saying he will, with the obvious implication that she'll keep forcing him if she has to.

So he came along, and waited, and grumbled until he couldn't put up with her bullshit anymore and also she was already using all her power to keep the ghost armada in line. And when he was sure he could leave, he did. Even before the recent updates, it's unfair to blame him for 'enabling' when she literally forces him to come along.

thank you omg.

Crap, I forgot about her mind-controlling him into the treasure hunt. WHY DO I ALWAYS FORGET THE IMPORTANT THINGS.

I have to say I also sometimes get the idea that the fandom forgets these are kids. I often see people expecting them to act like adults, and yeah they had to grow up fast in the circumstances but they still are kids.
