rpanons | Stick a fork in it

Rundown:

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 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

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.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

I think it may be a little more complicated than that. If their moirallegiance had been picture-perfect aside from Kanaya harboring an undisclosed flushed crush on Vriska, maybe it would've been entirely on her.

But the two of them would've been outrageously imbalanced and unhealthy. On Kanaya's end, you have her distraction due to conflicted feelings and the fact that she's nowhere near as even-tempered as she likes to consider herself, and that for both of these reasons she had no business being in this quadrant with Vriska. But you also have the fact that Vriska is egocentric and selfish where Kanaya is, as you said, a doormat. It would be fair to say that Vriska took advantage of Kanaya's feelings, as the anon below said, but I don't think it's as big a stretch to think she might have taken advantage of her nature, and not necessarily even consciously!

I think a fair amount of Kanaya's bitterness could have resulted from that, and it doesn't help that their conversation in Alterniabound seemed like the first Vriska had even attempted in weeks. None of this is to say she wasn't being immature and stupid about the whole thing, but it isn't so easily a situation one can pin down to just one of them. They were pretty much awful for each other as moirails.

That said, I definitely think Kanaya would consider herself responsible for Vriska's death, but I don't think she'd be quite self-aware or mature enough for it to suddenly click that she had been really awful and should suddenly stop. Even admitting her part of the blame to Vriska wouldn't be easy for her, but it would definitely complicate her feelings to being more than just a cold, bitter shoulder toward her.
