1. A distinction without a difference. John isn't time traveling as Homestuck defines it, ie. affected by the Green Sun, but anyone who engages with fiction would say that's what it is.

"Ultimate selves" are simply a weak recuperation, is the point. They didn't make everyone remember all the shit that happened just because a couple of them brought it up, ergo it doesn't alleviate the frustration of switching out most of the cast for versions of themselves that experienced a significantly -different three years which the audience was largely not privy to.

2. I am not talking about Vriska's motives, I am talking about what role is most interesting for her. You can do basically-anything to mangle an action as being "in-character", especially during this unseen timeskip where the character dynamics changing can simply be imagined by the audience. I am saying that this is a lame direction for the character to go. And no, I don't think that her alleging caring about people means that she'd be able to just, on-the-spot see Rose drinking from a bottle and instantly slap that shit out of her hand as if trolls even understand what alcohol is.
