Why during 'ministrife' we see so many different versions of the same characters together? They would reappear during Tavros confrontation with post-ret Vriska and Meenah, and I can't quite understand it yet.
Since there were no adult Trolls on Alternia, where were they? Also, around what age might they have left?
The adult trolls were all banished into outer space to conquer new planets to expand the Condesce’s empire. It isn’t mentioned what age constitutes as an “adult”.
so what are all the villains' goals at the moment?
The Condesce wants to kill Lord English and build up a new empire in the new universe. Lord English wants to kill everything, specifically Calliope. Jack English most likely has the same goals as LE. Bec Noir’s goals right now are unknown. Spades Slick also has unknown goals.
I have sort of a silly question regarding troll romance based on some things I forgot about the quadrants. Is it possible to have a following scenario where Troll A has a matespritship with Troll B, but also is moirail with Troll C; however, Trolls B and C don't get along and there are spades between them. Troll D then meddles as clubs, trying to keep their relationship functional. Like, is it really possible?
Yes, from my understanding of quadrants that is possible.
What ever happened to Grandpa Harley? I know he's dead, but time shenanigans happened, and he was doing stuff after Jade and Co. started playing the game. Is he still in the Medium?
Who of the ancestors are alive? And where are they all?
All trolls in the A universe were killed by the Vast Glub save the Condesce since she is a fuchsia blood and eleven of the troll players since they had already escaped to the Medium. Sollux didn’t survive because Karkat didn’t get him into the Medium in time but Feferi later revived him.
Where does it say the alpha trolls' age? I've heard the 9 sweeps thing quoted a number of times but I thought it was just fanonised because its a neat +3 (units) mirroring the kids' age differences. How do we know?
They were six sweeps old when they started sgrub and stayed in their session for three sweeps before starting the Scratch.
Is it confirmed that John's Dad's biological mother is Nana/Jane? And he's John/Popop's biological son in the post-scratch universe? Or is he just some weird entity that bridges the universes????
Dad Egbert is Nanna’s son and Dad Crocker is Poppop’s son.
Doesn't the Condesce work for Lord English? I thought she and the Handmaid fought because the Condesce wanted to be associated with Lord English's power, so she killed the Handmaid and then began working for/with him?
The Condesce was forcibly recruited into Lord English’s service.
We know that Sburb was a game sold by multinational companies in both Alpha and Beta Earth universes, but what about Sgrub? What's the origin of the codes found by Aradia in the ruins? Billions of years prior to that, what's the origin of the original Sgrub, found by Meenah during her escape to the moon?
Aradia found a Frog Temple in a ruin and sent the code in the ruins to Sollux who adapted it into a computer game. Meenah found the game on her pink moon and had her friends start playing.
Could you please explain the whole scratch thing to me? I'm so confused - I don't get it at all!
The scratch is a release of temporal energy that causes Skaia to switch which portals the meteors go through. It results in a reset universe and a switched set of players.
