we all know Vriska was the troll equivalent of a DnD enthusiast but I think it’s often overlooked just how big of an interest it was for her. i’m guilty of it myself!!
but all of the trolls are easily identified as being into x thing or y thing based on what’s in their rooms, even moreso than the kids; equius’ room is literally just robot parts and bows and horse art, there’s very little in terezi’s block save for dragon scales and piles of law books; and aside from the broken eight balls everywhere, vriska’s stuff is like 90% role playing merch!! it’s just dice and game posters and drawings of her character and character sheets. it’s just all role playing material.
im not gonna be the one to say it’s super easy to identify a homestuck character as being a nerd in the traditional, unadulterated 90s pop culture sense by the fact that they’re wearing glasses; but vriska is such a traditional, unadulterated 90s pop culture nerd
it’s worth noting too that while she did have a character and we know she played in some campaigns for herself, what we see in homestuck is largely her DMing a session, and that honestly just explains so much of her character, you know… her whole obsession with engineering the perfect villain… the fact that she thinks she has the know-how to organise an army to defeat the god of time and death… she spent 6 sweeps of her life writing stupid DnD campaigns for her friends and it could not be more obvious in literally everything she does
she’s such a rich nerd?? there is absolutely no human vriska universe in which she isn’t the type to buy a perfect replica of the car from back to the future as her first vehicle… and she totally participates in historical reenactment too… she’s ridiculous
