What does each aspect represent in short?

This isn’t a classpect blog but I suggest you take a look at this post.  

in your last answer, you put the link to the wrong panel!

Thank you! I fixed it. 

have kanaya and aradia ever had a canon conversation?

Yes

Can you give us an order of the sessions? All this pre-post-scratch stuff is confusing me

A1 (Meenah’s session)—scratch—> A2 (Karkat’s session)—creates—> B1 (John’s session)—scratch—> B2 (Roxy’s session)—creates—> C1 (Caliborn’s session).

Did you get a question about the inconsistencies of Vriska being able to captchalogue the Earth? Did you ignore it? Why? Or did you answer it and I somehow missed it? Please, I'd love to know your thoughts.

Vriska used Dad Egbert’s wallet modus (which can captchalogue large objects) and merged it with her Eight Ball modus and then captchalogued the Earth. 

is a moirailship kinda like a queer-platonic relationship? if not, what could type of relationship could it be compared to?

A moirail is your soul mate but in a more platonic sense. They pacify you and help balance you emotionally. 

If Karkat and Terezi can't ascend to god tier, does that mean Kanaya can't either?

Karkat, Kanaya, Terezi, and Gamzee have no way to ascend currently. 

It's still possible for Kar, Kan, and Terezi to ascend - we don't know the contents of Derse and Prospit proper. The alpha kids ascended on their slabs in the destroyed moons (7738) but the main planets are still intact (prospit damaged, but intact.) And we know slabs can also sometimes in special cases be present in the main planets (5197), and of course that the session is omniscient, including about the arrival of extra players (6720).

The slabs at the center of the moons of Derse and Prospit were destroyed by the Condesce and Lord Jack and even if they were still in-tact, none of the living trolls have the Heart, Life, Void, or Hope aspect. The only Quest Bed that could be used by the trolls is Jade’s Space bed being used by Kanaya but those require a dream body and hers is dead. 

Wait I thought the alpha kids session was void?

Yes, their session is void. 

@ the session thing, where do the ancestors fit in all this?

Karkat created 24 trolls in total. His group were the ancestors in the pre-scratch universe on Beforus and Meenah and the others were the players. Meenah’s session scratched and the troll groups were switched. Meenah’s group became the ancestors post-scratch on Alternia and Karkat’s group became the players. 

Grandpa Harley was the one who created Jade’s dreambot.

how was it that jade went god tier??

She died and Bec Noir placed her corpse on her Quest Bed and Jadesprite (who was her dreamself) went godtier.

How did jack get the ring?

He got the ring when he cut it off the Black Queen’s finger with one of the weapons in the green box that contained all the Beta kid’s weapons. 

Sorry for being dumb and asking this question, but why would it be impossible for Karkat and Terezi to become God tier?

Their Quest Beds and Sacrificial Slabs have both been destroyed.

So, how does Roxy's session create Caliborn's universe if it's void? Is that what we might end up seeing because of the post-retcon addition of the beta kids, who might make the session no-longer-void?

A Void session means that the players don’t prototype anything pre-entry and their Battlefield never evolves and grows. Jade has the Beta kids’ fully prototyped Battlefield so they just need to place it at the center of Skaia. 

(I think I already sent this but oh well) couldn't Roxy create/spawn some sacrificial slabs for the trolls?

I want to say no but I’m not sure.

Doomed timelines and loops can only happen after they've entered the session right? I keep seeing headcanons about pre-session doomed timelines and I'm never sure how to correct them, can you help please?

Pre-session doomed timelines can happen. There was a doomed timeline where Karkat didn’t run the Double Mobius Reacharound virus and also Gamzee flipped out before everyone entered the game and he killed all 11 trolls. 

If a new universe is successfully made, do the inhabitants need to play another version of sburb?

Eventually, yes a new session will be started by a new set of players.  

how will killing snowman destroy the universe? (also, btdubs, love the blog)

Doc Scratch tied her life directly with the Genesis Frog’s life but the details of how he did this aren’t revealed. 

What are the scars on Cronus's forehead from and how are they connected to Lord English?

Cronus claims that Lord English tried to kill him with a spell once but the spell deflected and split his soul into several vessels until he could find another way to enter their universe. The entire event is an obvious Harry Potter reference. 

why did jadesprite go godtier but davesprite didn't?

The Dave that prototyped into Davesprite wasn’t Dave’s dream self, he was just a doomed Dave.

Can kanaya go god tier?

None of the trolls currently have a way to go godtier.

(I'm super sorry if I already asked this and it's been asked before!) Is Hal's android body just fanon or is it canon? If it's canon, may I get an approximate panel location?

It was a popular fanon concept that became canon in [S] MSPA Reader: Mental Breakdown.

Pretty sure that even if Roxy could create some slabs for the trolls there's an important fact to remember: their dream selves are dead and to my knowledge you can't go god tier without one because you have to die.

Dream slabs don’t require a dream self to ascend on, only Quest Beds do.

What even IS Skaia? It really confuses me. Also how is the battlefield inside Skaia? Can you stand on or touch Skaia? How do you get inside? Sorry about all the questions but Skaia makes no sense to me.

Skaia is the dormant crucible at the center of the session that is made of dense clouds that show past, present, and future events. The planet at the center of Skaia is the Battlefield which evolves with each prototyping. 

When did Terezi go god tier and why isn't she god tier in the retcon timeline? >:?

Alpha Terezi never went god tier.

How did Roxy get the Ring of Life?

John found it in the Furthest Ring and gave it to Roxy so she could revive Calliope. 

Okay so, as I understand it, sburb exists to help a universe "reproduce" in a sense, and the players of the game get to rule over their newly created universe. If so, where are the players of the session that created the kid's session? Tell me if I've just completely corkscrewed the entire idea but I never see any godlike people ruling over the kids' universe.

Karkat and his team where the ones who created the kids’ universe, they just never entered it.

is snowman being the tied to the a2 universe a pool reference? im pretty sure it is but i just need confirmation whether or not.

Yes, I believe it’s a reference to the fact that in Eight Ball Pool if you pocket the eight ball before your others then you lose. 

do you think that since the B2 kids didnt use their slabs, that the trolls can use then (ei kanaya use jades slab) because of same aspect? or is it hard wired for specific DNA (since the game has their DNA because of paradox cloning) and that this is checked through the blood?

Jade’s Sacrificial Slab was at the center of the moon of Prospit and Jack Noir destroyed that planet early on in their session. As for whether or not players who share aspects can ascend on the other player’s Sacrificial Slab, I’m really not sure. 

are dream slabs the same thing as sacrificial slabs? how many different kinds of slabs are there to ascend on?

They’re the same. You can ascend on either a Sacrificial Slab or a Quest Bed.

For post 120903245099 where was this detailed/mentioned?? Not like I don't believe you, but I want to reread that section! Thank you in advance!

On this page, Aradia states that Karkat’s computer didn’t run the virus that Sollux sent him which doomed the timeline. His computer exploded on this page in the alpha timeline before the session started. 

Im sorry, but i dont understand the whole Cronus thinks he is a human concept, is this just a fanon thing?

No, it’s canon. He refers to himself as “humankin” and he thinks of himself as a 1950s-style greaser.

where is it stated that calliopes session was made by the alpha kids?

Already answered that.

wasnt there a doomed timeline where Gamzee kills everyone before Sgrub?

Yes, the one where Karkat didn’t run the virus and Gamzee killed everyone happened in the same doomed timeline.

Why is it important that Calliope is revived?

Because she deserved a second chance and also she’s precious. 

Is it canon Dave will kill lord english?

Dave seems to think his prophecy (“They wait for he who would drop it like it’s hot whilst the pimp’s in the crib.”) refers to him being the one to defeat Lord English, the space pimp with the gold tooth and cane. The Condesce also believes he’ll kill Lord English. 

What exactly is Lil Hal. I'm sorry, it's been a while since I've read the comic and I don't remember ever really reading about it.

Lil Hal is another name for the Auto Responder AI in Dirk’s shades.

Does Aranea have telekinesis? She moved planets in GAME OVER, but it's not listed as a power of hers anywhere nor does Vriska have it. Was that her controlling multiple Damara ghosts again?

Yes, she was mind controlling 3 Damara ghosts. 

Yo so, my curiosity was peaked by another few questions you've recieved recently, and just wondering, so caliborn's universe is created by the alpha kid's session, which is created by the beta kid's scratch, which is in the universe karkat's group created, and the alternian trolls played in the post-scratch of the beforus trolls, but then how was that universe created? And caliborn won his session, was it mentioned which universe was created from that?

The session that created the trolls universe hasn’t been mentioned in-comic. Hussie said jokingly in his Formspring that it was created by a 48 player squiddle session. Caliborn won his session but the goal of a solo session isn’t to create a new universe but to obtain unlimited power and immortality. 

Can't Kanaya go god tier with the bed on LOFAF?

No, Quest Beds require a living dream self. 

In the retcon timeline, is Aradia still alive?

Yes.

Hey so you've probably been asked this before, I'm not really sure, but what ever happened to brobot? After he fought jake he exploded if I recall, but I never understood why, also him tearing his heart out was that just completely pointless or a confession of love? Also unimportant really, but do you ship dirk jake?

Brobot had uranium inside of his chest which is what Jake needed to power the machine to send the green package to John in the B1 session. I don’t ship DirkJake and I don’t think Mod T does either

source on “humankin”?

This Flash game where you’re introduced to Cronus. 

Is it possible for the alpha session to be scratched?

There wouldn’t be any point in scratching their session since a scratch switches the group of players and then we’d have the Beta kids playing again. 

in which page dave's prophecy was mentioned?

This Flash game is where the prophecies are mentioned on the flags with the Beta kids’ aspect symbols on them. 

Wait, if quest beds require a dream self then what about Jade and Aradia? Weren't their dream selves dead when they went godteir?

Jade’s dreamself was alive in the form of Jadesprite and Aradia dreamself was alive but she ascended on a Sacrificial Slab which requires only one life.

Quest beds can't require a living dream self because Jake English was able to become godtier despite his dream self being dead

He used a Sacrificial Slab which requires only one life.

How do we know that a person cannot use their planets quest bed to ascend with only one life left?

We know this because every time someone died on a Quest Bed their dreamself becomes their mainself.

how did Gamzee go god tier?

He did not, it is only a costume
