Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 5,000. "One of our biggest load problems is entries that have a high number of comments -- loading those entries causes a big hit -- and we've been seeing an increase in the number of entries with lots of comments lately. If even a few high-traffic journals or communities started opening new posts when comments reached 2000 or 2500 instead of letting the post run until it hit the maximum number of comments, it would definitely help." - DW_News

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.

P.S. you don't think Eridan murdering one of Kanaya's friends in cold blood and blinding another one spurred her to murderous intent?
tendtoenunciate: Kanaya, an extremely harsh >:C on her face; interestingly, jade lipstick and eye makeup. (Angered)

Well, no, there's a very clear artistic code for murderous intent in that arc: The spiky aura. It's seen on Feferi right before she tries to kill Eridan. And then on Kanaya right before she tries to kill Eridan. (This line fell out of the bottom.) And then on Kanaya right before she does kill Eridan. And then on Terezi right before she backstabs Vriska. Look at Kanaya's expressions: Before she just shows confusion and anger. It is only the hopesplosion that gets her screaming with rage and leaping at him. I mean, maybe the previous incidents helped, but she's doing nothing but standing there glaring at him until the hopesplosion.

Also, Eridan never showed any feeling about what he did, good or bad. His Return to the Core conversations are the last we've heard from him. His omnipresent scowl is ambiguous; Vriska was unambiguously grinning when she killed Tavros and she's later shown to have regretted it, so I don't think that thinking Eridan might is implausible.

let's also consider that prior to the hopesplosion, she and eridan were locked in a stand-off

she clearly intended to take him down then, and when kanaya takes someone down for something like that it isn't accomplished in any kind of neat or non-violent fashion. she had armed herself already, if you recall.

the destruction of the matriorb simply pushed her further over the edge so she wasn't even thinking about her method of attack, just flying in a murderous rage unsuccessfully
