Fridge Brilliance
General
- Jane becomes a villainous person in both timelines—a crooked, bigoted politician in one and a genocidal corporate Tyrant in the other. This may seem strange at first, but from her very introduction it's clear that she's kind of spoiled, dismissive of the lower class, and she's been groomed, both traditionally and via both subtle and unsubtle subliminal messages, implanted mental thoughts, and outright mental conditioning to be the perfect heir to Betty Crocker—that is to say, her Imperious Condescension. In other words, Jane was born and bred to be the human version of a perfect Fuschia Blood Heiress. Feferi was nice enough but Hiveswap shows a previous, and implied typical, Heiress was a spoiled brat who was openly and sickeningly dismissive of the lower classes and casually genocidal.
Meat
- Dirk's Face–Heel Turn can be a bit jarring, and many people have complained that it erases his Character Development. But it's strongly implied that this is because he's become his Ultimate Self, acquiring the personalities of all the alternate versions of him. Said alternate versions include his pre-scratch self, and his AI copy who went through Divergent Character Evolution and eventually became part of Lord English himself. And before Lord English there was Doc Scratch. Also doubles as Fridge Horror.
Candy
- When John decides to stay on Earth C, Calliope tells him that first he must free Gamzee from being trapped in the fridge and let him redeem himself. Despite his "redemption" not amounting to much besides no longer murdering anyone, Calliope is still supportive of him. Of course she is, after all, he did raise her and her brother.
- Vriska manages to kill Gamzee despite him having been previously unkillable because of the rule that clowns can't die. But that only applied to canon — Earth C exists outside of canon, which means his Joker Immunity no longer exists.
