i don't know that i agree. i really enjoy every plot point scene. it acts as a very good tutorial for reading vriska, and it's strange to pretend the helltier plot point stuff "fixed" her. a lot of vriska's deal is that she is ever too willing to be a driver of plot, and this is openly destructive to her. this is a trait that has remained completely intact on the other side of the plot point. i think hsbc's lack of elaboration on the idea and homestuck's existing willingness to problematize progression systems like godtiering and the helltier echeladder i forget the name of right now means the helltier deal is more complicated than we've seen thus far.
