Using an acutely obscure Homestuck reference in an analogy while conversing with a friend has the same satisfaction as horking up a disgusting regexp into your code, fresh off your lobes, and having it just work.
We didn't have the language to say this ten years ago, but now we do: Vriska is the main character of Homestuck in the Twitter sense of the term
