My guess about the alpha trolls and dream bubbles is that it's as with everything else in the game, once the dream bubbles were created, they always existed (sorry for weird wording, not my main language)
You worded that perfectly fine, not weird at all, good job. But yeah, you’re right.
In response to /post/124538116014/in-a6a6i5-around-there-john-jumps-through-time, The only person who was prevented from being killed was Vriska due to Terezi having captured Gamzee, which lead to her not going and killing Vriska, which is why she is still alive in the retcon. I saw a lot of confusion about this when those upd8s were released.
how come the pre retcon sprites were able to follow john and roxy? does this mean pre retcon arquius, erisol, and pre retcon jasprose could come on over at any time they like?
They were on John’s planet when he telported it into the new session. It is likely that pre-retcon Arquius and Erisol are also around. There is no pre-retcon jasprose
my reading comprehension skills are sub-par, could you explain what doomed!callie (or the red text one? i think shes the doomed one?) was talking abt w/ jade? none of it made a lick of sense!!
Basically, in the furthest ring the aspects are exactly the same. In order for one to function the other must as well. In the Furthest Ring when you move through Space you are also moving through Time and if you stop moving through Space then you stop moving through Time as well. The cracks LE is making is causing the aspects in the Furthest Ring to work as they do in the average universe where you can move through time without moving through Space.
At least that’s how I read it, my apologizes if it’s still too complicated.
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.
Any ideas as to why Nepeta's aspect's symbol wasn't incorporated into Davpetasprite^2's symbol?
Because a squared sprite is linked to every doomed iteraction of its components and while there have been at least one doomed Dave to god tier, it appears that no Nepeta has ever ascended. I just went and scanned through Ministrife and the army page to make sure and we have not seen one god tier Nepeta in canon.
Since Davesprite(now Davepetaspritex2) survived the explosion does this mean the original John is alive as well?
Davesprite did not survive the explosion. This is the Davesprite from Pre-retcon that came to the post-retcon universe on John’s planet like the other Nannasprite and Jaspersprite
Was it ever explained in-comic or by Hussie why can't the trolls bear children on their own, instead depending on the contract with the giant termite skull monster? Also, is that "tentabulge" stuff canon? Most of the nsfw material involving trolls has these, and I vaguely remember Kanaya or Porrim mentioning that there's no biological difference between sexes, but I think I might be a lil' bit confused here.
They can’t reproduce on their own because they’re an insect based race. And the tentabulge is only fanon.
Whereabouts is the Condesce atm in the comic? Is she on Derse or elsewhere? I kind of lost track of her in all the chaos. Thank you for answering this in advance
I really like them. Davesprite and Nepeta’s personalities blended a lot better than I thought they would. Plus with Davepta going to fight Lord English, Alpha Dave won’t have to.
What if Davepetasprite^2's purpose is to interact and possibly remove the ARquissprite part of Lord English?
That would just create a doomed Arquiusprite assuming the pre-retcon one came over with all the other sprites. And even if that’s not the case what you’re describing would be an ability of a Rogue of Heart which is Nepeta’s class but typically when two people merge so does their classpect (such as Erisol acting as a Prince of Doom, destroying his own doom ie not being able to spritesplode even though he was miserable). If anything, I feel Davepeta will act more as a Knight of Heart. Knights exploiting and protecting their aspect and Heart being an aspect of the self, the soul, the personality and motivation. That’s just my opinion however.
this is more of a question. are the kids physically in the game? are they not able to get off of their computer? it didnt make sense to me because from when jade and john were stuck for three years, why didnt they just log out? do they have to finish the game first?
They were teleported though space and time to a different dimension, they are not in their computers
