If Karkat and his friends have successfully won their session, why were they help/messing with the kids in the first place? Also, how old exactly are the trolls from Aranea's crew compared to Jane and her friends?
They saw that Bec Noir came from the kids’ session and began trolling them because they thought the kids’ sent him on purpose. Aranea and her group are nine sweeps old which is roughly nineteen and a half years old. Jane and the other kids are all sixteen.
Sorry for not being clear in that other question, my sincere apologies. What I meant was: how cosmologically/existentially old are Aranea and the Pre-scratch trolls?
They’ve been in the dream bubbles for billions of sweeps.
To answer the anon that was asking about how Gamzee got cut in half earlier, Kanaya did it with her chainsaw after he tossed Karkat into the lava, Dirk wasn't there and brain ghost Dirk had gone away because Jake had calmed down.
That was pre-retcon. They were talking about post-retcon when they fought Caliborn in his claymation masterpiece.
In Cascade, where were they when the Tumor exploded? Like, I know that Rose and Dave were in Derse, but were they in the furthest ring? If so, then why was their Genesis Frog sitting there? Wouldn't wherever the Green Sun was created be inside the Genesis Frog?
Dave cut the chain connecting Derse’s moon to the planet and they traveled in the moon to the Furthest Ring. The Furthest Ring and the Medium are separate planes from the Genesis Frog.
a point of confusion with regards to the retcon and how it works in paradox space. i know the post-retcon asteroid kids still went through the dream bubbles, but did stuff like karkat and meenah meeting even happen from post-retcon karkat's perspective? also, how would aradia (and to a similar degree, sollux) work? are there a pre-retcon and post-retcon aradia floating around in paradox space now?? i am so confused
Karkat and the others still met Meenah and her team in the post-retcon timeline. Whether there are two pairs of Aradias and Solluxes has yet to be seen.
Is the retcon when John used his ring to go back with roxy to join the alpha time line?
The retcon was the series of changes Terezi instructed John to do on her scarf. One of them was to get the ring of life before Aranea could. He gave it to Roxy and then he transported them and Lowas into the new timeline.
since dirk is dave's father, roxy is rose's mother, jake is jade's father, and jane is john's mother and the fact that jade and john are siblings and so are rose and dave, does that mean that this is trying to suggest that roxy and dirk and jake and jane are canon, ship wise?
re: gamzee getting split in half again, i'm pretty sure it was li'l seb? though obviously hard to tell, because weird claymation buttplug puppets and stuff.
It was most likely Dirk who sliced him in half with his katana.
Caliborn, Arquiusprite, and half of Gamzee were trapped inside him and then Doc Scratch was created via ectobiology from Lil Cal and a white cue ball. Once Doc Scratch died Lord English emerged from his body as an amalgam of those characters.
So my dear mods I'm a but confused about what happened on /005596 now, Jack stabbed John even though John (probably) intended to fight him after the death of his Dad. I'd think that was Heroic myself, looking on the wiki it says "John died in what is clearly the most cowardly death ever." But tbh that sounds like sarcasm to me. So is there any real explanation why that wasn't cause for John perma-death? Or am I looking into it wrong?
John’s death wasn’t heroic because he didn’t take any action, he just readied his weapon. He wasn’t given a chance to die in combat before he was auto-stabbed by Bec Noir.
In ministrife, we see Meenah change how her god tier outfit looks. Is that part of the dream bubbles mechanics or a god tier ability? If we haven't found any solid proof either way, then what do you think it might be?
The god tier outfits are just like other clothes, you can change them whenever you want.
I feel like there was a flash where Rose asked Dave to take off his shades and look into the sky on Derse--I've been trying to find it, but I haven't yet. I was just wondering if you knew which page it was on?
