I didn't even like Mindfang. The journals are the only things in Homestuck I kinda just skimmed. I didn't completely ignore them, but I didn't pay full attention like I do with all the other logs.

I love the irony of how Aranea tried to make a point about how stupid bluntness in storytelling is, and ended up making a wall of text of things we already knew anyway.
I don't think there was a single new piece of info in there! But hopefully we get some answers about how Condy took over Derse now.
Aranea is zzzz and quite a disappointment considering she's supposed to be Mindfang (who is great). Meenah is pretty cool and will probably rise higher if she does more in the story.
-- another place and time, without a great divide, and we could be flying deadly high
Well, aside from the fact that Aranea seemed to have become who she wanted to be as opposed to who she actually is, I mean, the walls of text, flowery prose, crazy level of detail in exposition, Mindfang was always a total nerd in my mind. We never actually knew Mindfang, anyway, except what she projected herself to be like in her journals. I think people just expected her to be pirate Vriska. I'm glad she's a unique person instead of being pirate Vriska.
Now we just need to find out that Meenah is Jake's and Aranea's baby.
But... Meenah is Jake's "baby" if you stretch definitions far enough. Ok you have to stretch them really far and also assume that Jake does become Lord English.

They share the shame manner of talking, but no way. Mindfang is a ruthless pirate who like Vriska is self-absorbed in her own misdeeds and destiny. Aranea is really nice and an exposition fetishist. Similar personalities, but not completely the same, like all of the post-scratch analogues, so I wouldn't consider them the same person.
Plus she seems to speak of post-scratch Alternia with some distaste. I don't think Mindfang is specifically the person she wanted to be, just someone she idolizes because Mindfang actually went on adventures, raping and plundering and murdering her way across a planet. Aranea obviously is obsessed with stories, so that's cool to her, especially considering her own adventure was reduced to futility in the end.
It's an interesting angle on a character but god damn her personality ruins it.
Mm...having a time getting a good placement for uu and UU. Their arc, while involving many others, firmly revolves around each other and I find it hard to separate the one from the other when establishing a ranking placement. Probably middleish tier I guess, as they have done some nice things.
I guess by strict average sollux would not be middle tier, but really...anything above him are trolls I care about, and anything below him are trolls that might as well not exist...

There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out
Meenah will probably go up as long as she continues to get screentime, since I like her a lot, but the ones above her have are too established and have too many great moments for her to be that high just yet.
But... we just had a character ranking contest! And it was terrible, like all the stupid contests this board likes to put up all the time. It's almost as if this board was MADE for these dumb things.

God forbid the most popular characters win in a popularity contest.
I'm beginning to think Mind-Dirk is the actual Dirk. Don't ask me how that would work, but he has precedence for controlling multiple consciousnesses at once, so there's that.

I don't think so. No one else can see him besides Terezi, and I don't know how he'd somehow implant his conciousness inside of Jake's brain. Plus, Terezi is the Seer of mind
